I just never understood what people had against the horse I rode in on.
This whole bit on the wonderful versatility of everyone’s favorite F word sent me down a rabbit hole of linguistics. I’ve visited this site a few times, and find it fascinating.
It’s in Montenegrin, but I understand a Leeeetle bit of SerboCroatian, the origin point for it, so I enjoyed this a lot.

IN EIGHT DAYS SINCE THE SPOTIFY ENTRY WAS MADE, this song is up to 55.6 million streams.
On Youtube it is up to 23.8 million views.
I daresay its a massive success.
[This is referring to the Video of the Gaga/Mars duet I posted]
I can typically acknowledge when a banger song, even when it’s not in a genre I like. I even kinda dig Gaga, tbh.
I don’t get the hype for that song though. It’s not catchy at all and was just…boring.
To each their own, I guess.
Last week was a good one for brutal music. First, the new album from Nails dropped. Well, calling it an album might be a stretch as it’s more like a collection of short bursts of micro-ultraaggression than an actual album. Clocking in at just 18 minutes of face-melting intensity, this one’s a doozy.
Teeth also spat out a platter of nastiness on Friday as well with “The Will of Hate”. These are some very, very angry dudes and it shows in this album. “Pray” is a definite standout and a strong contender for my song o’ the year.
Lastly, Wintersun’s loooooooong awaited follow-up to “Time” finally saw the light of day in “Time II”. Wintersun has always been surrounded by drama (mostly because they’re a bunch of prima donnas with outsized egos) and there were serious questions whether this album was ever going to come out after multiple delays and other nonsense. It’s surprisingly good, tbh. Nothing revolutionary, but a very solid slab of melodeath with some eastern musical themes. I’ve really been digging it.
It’s such a lovely song. One of my all time favorites
Hints of " Tin Pan Alley" Nice find !
Love that version. I’ve watched it several times in the past
