iamnotree Link ParentCan't believe it's been that long. I know a lot of Paramore fans who just didn't get into this album, so I'm not surprised it didn't chart.Can't believe it's been that long. I know a lot of Paramore fans who just didn't get into this album, so I'm not surprised it didn't chart.

Paramore has been on another level since Hard Times. I love every album from them, but seeing their sound mature and evolve into this new wave style is so fun to see.
Edit:
I'd like to iterate that I meant I like Paramores take on David Byrne more than David Byrne in relation to Hard Times specifically. -

I love the classical elements, the bass lines are groovy, and the vocal melodies definitely go against what I'm used to hearing which makes each song feel refreshing.
Here's my chart. I've got some Creed on there. Lol Didn't realize I listened to them enough this week. Had a bit of a nostalgic moment. Haha

iamnotree Link ParentNiagara is so good. I used to be a Nova Launcher user until I found Niagara. The new wallpapers, icons, and fonts they added recently really help give you some personality while also staying focused.Niagara is so good. I used to be a Nova Launcher user until I found Niagara.

On a side note, I really enjoyed FastMail, but didn't feel for my personal use there was any negative to sticking with Proton. Well, other than not syncing contacts to my phone. Still use Google for that unfortunately.

Physical media is doing great right now, it's just not in the mainstream.

LA Coliseum turned out pretty alright, so maybe it could work.
If not, it's always great to see an organization like NASCAR embrace their roots and not let certain tracks decay. The state of some tracks was something that Dale Jr's Lost Speedways show really shined a light on.

Casting looks solid as well.
Just to be clear, I'm not looking for the best Superman or superhero film ever made. I'm looking for something entertaining with heart. I feel the audience is always looking for "the best" and it's unrealistic.

I'm also glad to see Mr. Mobile having some fun with tech. I share his love of tactile buttons and switches.
Pretty cool. I'll be interested to see how this is utilized going forward forward projects like WACUP. I've used WACUP on and off over the years. Helped a lot with scaling on modern monitors and worked pretty great. Ultimately though, I use Foobar2000.
