It is evident we are in a bit of a dry season awaiting any sort of news/announcements from Ye. I figured we need something for the goons to look forward to discussing each day in the challenging times of this rollout. This led me to the idea of GAS as a community creating the best album we can that is applicable to a cohesive and distinct story of Ye’s career, while being limited to only one song per album.
While being limited to only one song per album doesn’t seem ideal, it makes it more challenging and fun in my opinion having to debate and decide between one song to represent its respective album. It is also key to remember that the chosen songs aren’t necessarily supposed to be the best from it’s respective album, but the song from that album that best represents a certain key point in Kanye’s story.
The story that the album will follow should be a 13 part narrative, each part representing one song, that conveys the development, challenges, heights, lows, and changes Kanye has experienced through his career. I have an idea of what the key parts of the story will be and even had half of it written before it was unfortunately deleted, so we will need to discuss and come to a consensus on what these story points will be in the comments.
Once we have a proper story outline for the album, I will make a new post everyday for each key point of the story, in which we will discuss and decide in the comments which song will represent that key point of the story. Once that song is chosen, the album and the rest of its songs will be ruled out and disregarded in the discussion for the rest of the story points.
We will also only be able to choose songs from Ye’s released discography, as many great unreleased gems he has I would like to keep the formation of the album consistent by only allowing released songs to be chosen. While it is likely to happen, we are not required to follow any specific order for the songs chosen, so the album doesn’t have to go in order from College Dropout-LR-Grad and so on.
In the end we should have a 13 track album that encapsulates the story of Kanye and his career with one song being chosen from each of his albums. Please feel free to give me any recommendations for the direction the story should follow, and any other modifications and ideas for this concept in general.

OK, I just finished listening to the latest release of Billie Eilish. And.. I just don't get it! There aren't any hooks, nore great melodies or any above average songs in general. But again just like with the latest Taylor Swift and Beyoncé it's being reviewed as if never before music of this excellence has been made. What's going on!? Am I getting old (well yes, I do hope so)? Am I losing touch with new music (I like to think I'm not! I still listen to new stuff by young artists, and I love it.)? So it can't be that. So I started reading reviews on these albums. And all the positives weren't about one thing: the music. It just seems critics don't listen to the music but read the lyrics and the back story provided to them by the artists marketing team.

Being 40, I was just a young kid when PJ first broke out. I didn't really start listening to "alt rock" until around 94 when I was 10, but I was mainly listening to the bands trying to copy the Seattle sound at first. Maybe not cool to admit, but I think the first time I actually heard about Pearl Jam was from watching Clarissa Explains It all on Nickelodeon when I was maybe 8 or 9. LOL
Alice in Chains was actually the first of the Seattle bands I really got into, then Soundgarden. Never liked Nirvana, personally. I heard Pearl Jam songs on the radio of course, but didn't really consider myself a big "Pearl Jam fan" until Yield came out when I was in high school. "Do the Evolution" was what sealed the deal for me. After that I was hooked and they became one of my top favorite bands and had their first four albums on heavy repeat soon after. From then on I eagerly awaited each new record.
Yield may have been my "first PJ album", but it's not my favorite, but that's another topic. ;-) What was your "gateway album/song"?

The other day I said to a friend who is a huge Queens of the Stone Age fan:
“you know, honestly, I think Queens of the Stone Age are mid”
and it felt so fucking good to get it off my chest. Because so many people I know like them I kept telling myself for years I needed to just hear the right album or right song or whatever but you know what? I don’t like the guitar tones, I don’t like the drum patterns, I don’t like the tempo, I don’t like their voices, I don’t like their lyrics, I probably don’t even like the genre.
This is all personal preference of course and if you like them great. But I can hear all of this one minute into one song. So why would I waste my time continually trying to get into something that is just so clearly not for me?
My reason for this post is not to trash this specific band but rather to discuss the phenomenon of gaslighting ourselves into trying to like something and what a relief it is to finally just admit you don’t like it. You guys ever go through this? What was it for you?

I still have a feeling this beef isn’t fully over and if it’s true that Kendrick is planning an album then maybe we could be expecting it for this date, since it is 2Pac’s birthday.
But what I’m really thinking is Drake would surely want to crash the party like Kendrick did to him. He obviously speculated about Kendrick dropping an album hence why he titled his song HP6 and he’s probably thinking the same thing as us in terms of the release date. But for Kendrick to basically show his hand by revealing when he’s gonna drop his album, he surely would think BBL will want to plan payback for MTG (which was also pre planned).
I have a feeling there is still an intense game of chess going on right now and we might be in the Cold War phase if both Dot and BBL are dropping this summer. It just doesn’t feel like this will be let go any time soon.
TL;DR: If Kendrick is planning to drop on 6/16, is Drake going to crash the party? Or is Kendrick baiting him to do that?

This week’s vintage batch features black hard rubber pens from three of the Big Four American Makers of the 1910s-20s. Nibs range from Flex to Wet Noodle. As always, all are fully restored and ready to write.
 
ALBUM & TIMESTAMP

Condition (n.b.): All pens listed below have been disassembled, cleaned and restored with new sacs installed in the last couple weeks. Each of these pens is guaranteed to fill and write as designed without leaks or other problems. Nibs have been adjusted when necessary to ensure that all lay down a smooth and consistent line.
THESE PENS HAVE NO CRACKS, CHIPS, PERSONALIZATIONS, LOOSE OR MISSING PARTS, BENT NIBS, MISALIGNED TINES, BROKEN/WORN OFF TIPPING, OR THREADING ISSUES.
 
Line Widths and Writing Samples: To provide buyers with as much information as possible, I have started to adopt the following line width standards: XXF (.1-.2mm); XF (approx .3mm); F (approx .4mm); M (approx .6mm); B (approx .8mm). Nib flexibility is determined by variation (max line width under pressure) and softness (amount of pressure). Flexibility designations based on variation generally run as follows for an XF/F nib: Semi-Flex (approx. 1mm); Flex (1.2-1.9mm); Superflex (>2mm). All line width measurements are taken with a digital caliper but should be considered approximations providing a general guide. Width may vary slightly depending on type of ink and paper used as well as amount of pressure applied. All writing samples are on Rhodia dot paper using Waterman Serenity Blue.
 
 
1. 1920s Waterman 92 1/2 (BCHR, GPT, lever filler, 14k XF Flex nib). This slender (1/2-sized) model is longer than a ring top but slightly shorter than a 52, measuring 4 3/4” capped and 6” posted. Not to be confused with the later, celluloid 92, this 92 1/2 is made of black chased hard rubber with gold-plated trim. It’s the first I’ve ever encountered. Cap came clipless from the factory (no holes drilled for a clip), but has been outfitted with a gold-plated accommodation clip. Based on its absence from US catalogues, I believe this model was made strictly for foreign export. The barrel has a Canadian imprint while the nib reads “Ideal / England,” it being a common practice for Waterman’s Canadian pens to be finished in England. That 14k nib is a Flexible writer (note change from writing sample after taking measurement. It lays down a smooth and consistent XF line that widens to a 3B+ (approx 1.8mm) under moderate pressure (see WRITING SAMPLE). Thin hairlines and reliable flow over its full range of flex make it a great choice for shaded writing. Condition: fine [C]. This pen has no functional flaws but does show some use. Hard rubber is an even dark chocolate color – still much darker than the brown these can turn. Chasing is significantly yet evenly weakened across the cap and barrel. Hard rubber surface is smooth with no deep scratches or other notable blemishes. Gold-plating on the lever has a sliver of brassing in the center and parts of the clip look tarnished, though I’m not sure this amounts to full-fledged brassing. Manufacturer imprint on barrel and number stamp on barrel end are weakened but fully legible. An affordable user and a lovely writer for those wondering at what all the fuss is about early Watermans. Price: $150
 
2. 1910s Waterman 12 Eyedropper (BCHR, German Silver clip, eyedropper filler, 14k F Superflex nib). This full-sized model measures 5 1/8” capped. This slip-cap eyedropper is made of black chased hard rubber with a rivet clip marked “German Silver” – less common than the standard nickel clips. This pen is an eyedropper. The section unscrews for the barrel to filled using an eyedroppepipette – holds far more ink than a lever filler of the same size. My usual caveats about early eyedroppers apply here. If carried, it is not uncommon to find a little ink on the nib or in the cap. Super-Flexible 14k Ideal NY #2 nib lays down a smooth and consistent F line that widens to a 4B+ (approx 2.5mm) under light pressure (see WRITING SAMPLE). Easy variation and reliably wet flow over its full range of flex make it a great choice for calligraphic writing styles such as Copperplate and Spencerian. Condition: excellent- [B-]. Hard rubber of the cap is dark black with virtually no fading but center of barrel shows fading to dark chocolate under certain lights. Chasing on cap is sharp and deep but barrel chasing is very light and only visible when the light strikes it. German Silver clip is pristine with no brassing or other notable wear. Hard rubber surface is smooth with no deep scratches or other notable blemishes. Manufacturer imprint on barrel is weak but mostly legible while number stamp on barrel-end is all but worn away. Price: $190
 
3. c.1918 Waterman 52 (BCHR, NPT w/ Sterling Silver clip, lever filler, 14k XXF Needlepoint Superflex nib). This full-sized model measures 5 5/16” capped. A nice example of Waterman’s celebrated workhorse made of black chased hard rubber with a sterling silver Ideal accommodation clip with “Waterman’s / Made in France” stamped on one side and a hallmark that reads “GP” on the other side (DETAIL PHOTO). This pen came clipless from the factory (no holes drilled for a rivet clip). Super-Flexible 14k Ideal NY #2 nib has a needlepoint width and superb snap-back that gives it a surgically precise feel when writing. It lays down a smooth and consistent XXF line that widens to a 4B+ (approx 2.2mm) under light pressure (see WRITING SAMPLE). Insanely responsive snap-back, needlepoint hairlines, and reliable flow over its full range of flex make it another excellent choice for calligraphic writing styles such as Copperplate and Spencerian. Condition: excellent [B]. Hard rubber retains its dark black color with virtually no fading. Chasing is weakened a bit yet readily visible over the cap and barrel. Hard rubber surface is smooth with no deep scratches or other notable blemishes. Manufacturer imprint on barrel is quite weak and only partly legible while number stamp on barrel-end is deep and fully legible. Price: $260
 
4. c.1918 Waterman 52 in Box (BCHR, NPT, lever filler, 14k M/B Superflex Factory Stub nib). This full-sized model measures 5 5/16” capped. This pen comes in its original factory box with 5-page pamphlet including care and filling instructions as well as other offerings from Waterman (BOX PHOTO). It’s a clean 52 made of black chased hard rubber with nickel-plated trim including earlier, wide rivet clip. 14k Ideal #2 nib is a Super-Flexible Factory Stub that manages to deliver sharp unflexed variation without compromising smoothness. Under normal pressure it lays down a smooth and consistent M/B line (approx .7mm) on the down-strokes and XF line on the cross-strokes. And the line widens to a 4B+ (approx 2.0mm) under light pressure (see WRITING SAMPLE – note change in flex grade after measuring). A versatile nib whose responsive snap-back, easy variation, and reliable flow over its full range of flex make it well suited to shaded notes under normal pressure and calligraphic writing styles under flex, the Stub grind keeping one’s letterforms neat and straight. Condition: excellent+ [B+]. This pen and the one below came from an estate of someone who seems to have purchased these pens, wrote with them a few times, then stowed them away in their boxes. This one is definitely collector-grade, having seen very little use. Hard rubber retains its dark black color with no discernible fading. Chasing is evenly sharp and crisp. Hard rubber surface is smooth with no deep scratches or other notable blemishes. Manufacturer imprint on barrel and number stamp on barrel-end are deep and fully legible. Box is in sound condition with no torn ends but original owner managed somehow to burn a couple small holes in the paperwork. A boxed 52 with an uncommon nib in uncommonly clean condition. Price: $310 [ON HOLD]
 
5. c.1918 Waterman 55 in Box (BCHR, NPT, lever filler, 14k XF Flex/Superflex nib). This oversized model has a thick girth and measures 5 1/2” capped. This pen comes in its original factory box with 5-page pamphlet including care and filling instructions as well as other offerings from Waterman (BOX PHOTO). This pen is made of black chased hard rubber with nickel-plated trim including earlier, wide rivet clip. Commensurably oversized Ideal NY #5 nib yields Super-Flexible variation with Flexible softness. It lays down a smooth and consistent XF line that widens to a 4B+ (approx 2.1mm) under moderate pressure (see WRITING SAMPLE – note change in flex grade after measuring). Condition: excellent+/near mint [B+]. This pen came from the same estate as the 52 above and also resembles an artifact of a time capsule. Hard rubber retains its factory black color with no discernible fading. Chasing is factory sharp and crisp. Hard rubber surface is smooth with no deep scratches or other notable blemishes. Manufacturer imprint on barrel and number stamp on barrel-end are deep and fully legible. Box is in sound condition with no torn ends but original owner managed somehow to burn some small holes in the paperwork for this one as well. These big fellas are getting tougher to find, especially in this condition. Price: $440 [ON HOLD]
 
6. c.1921 Wahl Pen 72 (BCHR, NPT, lever filler, 14k XXF Superflex nib). This standard sized model measures 5 3/16” capped. Having purchased the assets of the Boston Fountain Pen Company, Wahl began manufacturing fountain pens in 1917. Wahl’s first pens were essentially rebranded Bostons and Tempoints (a NY company they acquired in 1918). The first full-fledged Wahls, dubbed simply “The Wahl Pen,” rolled off out of the factory in 1921. This 72 one of those pens. Its’s made of black chased hard rubber complemented by nickel-plated trim including Wahl’s patented roller-clip. The Wahl Pen is chiefly distinguished from earlier designs by its patented Wahl lever with apexed center. Super-Flexible 14k Wahl Pen #2 nib is a lovely writer. It lays down a smooth and consistent XF line that widens to a 4B+ (approx 2.4mm) under light pressure (see WRITING SAMPLE). Needlepoint hairlines, superbly responsive snap-back, and reliable flow over its full range of flex make it another great choice for calligraphic writing styles. Condition: excellent/near mint [B+]. Hard rubber retains its factory black color with virtually no fading/oxidation. Chasing is factory deep and crisp with no discernible wear. Surface is smooth and lustrous with no deep scratches or other notable blemishes. Nickel-plated trim is exceptionally clean with no brassing or other noteworthy blemishes apart from light scratching to the clip. Manufacturer imprint on barrel and number stamp on barrel-end are deep and fully legible. Price: $280
 
7. 1910s Parker Lucky Curve 20 (smooth BHR, eyedropper filler, 14k XF/F Superflex/Wet Noodle nib). This full-sized model measures 5 5/16” capped. Parker collectors know all too well how much harder it is to find early Parker eyedroppers compared to say, Waterman 12s. This simple, utilitarian Lucky Curve eyedropper from the early teens is made of smooth, black hard rubber. Slip cap came clipless from the factory (no holes drilled for a clip). Long Lucky Curve feed is intact. This pen is an eyedropper. The section unscrews for the barrel to filled using an eyedroppepipette – holds far more ink than a lever filler of the same size. My usual caveats about early eyedroppers apply here. If carried, it is not uncommon to find a little ink on the nib or in the cap. Early 14k Lucky Curve #2 nib with teardrop breather hole yields Super-Flexible variation with softness and flow verging on that of a Wet Noodle (comparable to a soft dip pen nib). It lays down a smooth and consistent XF/F line that widens to a 4B+ (approx 2.4mm) under very light pressure (see WRITING SAMPLE). Thin hairlines with a light hand, strong snap-back, and reliable flow over its full range of flex make it another great choice for calligraphic writing styles such as Copperplate and Spencerian. Condition: excellent [B]. Black hard rubber retains its factory black color apart from minor fading to a deep, dark brown on the barrel visible under certain lights. Surface is smooth and lustrous with no deep scratches or other notable blemishes aside from a group of short scratches to the left of the imprint (see imprints photo). Nib shows a small scuff here and there and a scratch on one tine that has no effect on durability or performance. Manufacturer imprint on barrel and number stamp on barrel-end are deep and fully legible. A lovely writer and the first example of one of these I’ve ever offered. Price: $270
 
8. c.1915 Parker 16 Overlay (gold-filled over BHR, button filler, 14k XF Wet Noodle nib). Measures 4 5/8" capped and 6” posted. While Waterman overlays of this period aren't particularly common, they're far more numerous than their Parker counterparts today. Parker overlays like this one were commissioned to the George W. Heath company in New York, who is credited for some of the finer overlays on early Watermans and Conklins as well. The gold-filled filigree over this black hard rubber ringtop features an exquisitely hand-engraved Art Nouveau pattern as well as an indicia on the barrel for engraving. The pattern is the earlier, more intricate design that's more sought after than the simpler Art Deco pattern of the later 1910s-20s. Barrel overlay is stamped "Parker Fountain Pen" along with patent dates from 1891 and 1905. Pen has an Xmas tree, Lucky Curve feed and knurled blindcap unscrews to reveal brass button for filling. To fill, one simply unscrews the blind cap, submerses the nib, and depresses the brass button once. The fine workmanship of this pen is complemented by an early 14k Lucky Curve #3 nib, a scarce “Lazy S” variant with long tines. The nib is a Wet Noodle with softness, variation, and flow comparable to that of a dip pen nib. It lays down a smooth and consistent XF line that widens to a 4B+ (approx 2.5mm) under minimal pressure (see WRITING SAMPLE). Another nib with astonishingly responsive snap-back giving it a precision feel and you maximum control over the line. Together with its thin hairlines and reliable flow over its full range of flex, this makes for an ideal choice for calligraphic writing styles. Condition: excellent+ [B+]. Overlay shows no brassing, dents, or other notable flaws aside from some pin-sized dings confined to the knurled portion around the top of the cap. Hard rubber retains its dark black color with scarcely any fading. Knurling of blind cap isn’t quite as sharp as it once was and number stamp on barrel-end is faint but legible under bright light. Manufacturer imprint on barrel is deep and fully legible. Price: $380 [ON HOLD]

What I would like to achieve: I would like to load all my songs, which I rate with two stars, in an „ album filler“ playlist Where the problem occurs: I can't rate songs on the iPhone for whatever reason. Question: How can I distinguish the songs I want to rate with two stars from completely new songs? ( That's impossible, isn't it? Because I can't add any comments on my mobile phone)
Am I stupid right now? How did you approach this?
I look forward to your answers and wish you all a nice rest of the day

I'm going to see them jun 1st!! I saw them live a few years ago in Atlantic City for a Christmas show, but this is my first of them regularly and without the Christmas songs and awesome philharmonic orchestra. I got a signed copy of mikes Christmas album but do they sell any records at their normal shows?

So I knew my wife and her friends were going to a cabin trip a few weeks ago. I was okay with it because these are women I've previously met and they've known each other for years. They’ve been doing this cabin trip for like 5 years as well.
Anyway, she told me about it when she got back. They cooked, hot tub time, some hiking, and a beach nearby. All in all it sounded like a good time.
My wife needed me to give her some ingredients from a recipe she was cooking, so I picked up her phone. And when I switched tabs I saw an album open (like a google album) that had a lot of naked women in it. Being the curious fellow I am I opened it to see just tons and tons of nude pics of my wife and her friends from their cabin trip.
I kind of got upset and yelled. She's like it's just girls no one saw, it's natural, blah blah blah. But like, my wife is there naked and there are photos. Also she never told em about it at all.
AITA?

Mine is Nifelvind. I like solsagan song but nah for whole album. Interestingly that album is the most popular on Spotify. What about you?

Hi, I am currently using make.com but checking if there is a solution to it in Zapier
I am trying to send images from notion to telegram in a group. I iterated over the pictures property which was an array with different image URLs so in the output, I got multiple bundles with each photo and its URL but the problem is when sending photos in a group I selected send album where I don't have the option for individual bundles from iterator but I only see one link and it sends it over and over for all the bundles/pictures rather than just sending them all in one group
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

if not, what hip hop song came out in 1973? even Nas said that hip hop was born around 1977-78 or an earlier date on 'Who Killed It?'
how did hip hop's birthday get bumped 5 years ahead? and what makes anything hip hop if spoken jazz or speaking with a rhythm and rhyme came out in the 1940s or even before that?
was hip hop born simply because the word was coined, not because it didn't have a precursor reference from a long time ago? similar to how trap music is coined by TI, so TI made a trap museum to capitalize on his propaganda, but the Trap Music sound and distinction originated in Memphis with 3-6 mafia/8ball MJG/UGK back in 1992 with the hi-hats and 808s, talking about poverty and using drugs as an indulgence to survive and to capitalize on, and not because it's a stealth celebration of when TI dropped Trap Musik the album in 2003?
so for this analogy, Trap Music wasn't born in 2003 simply because TI coined the term and dropped his album in 2003. Similarly, hip hop wasn't born in 1978-1979 because someone decided to coin the word hip hop and then was pushed 5 years ahead to 1973 to match Nas' 50th birthday for the hip hop 50th celebration.
someone make sense of all of this
