Chen Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Original Alear Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Something really petty, but I dunno what. EDIT-I'm so petty I forgot what it was just to spite the people involved and show I don't care about them.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 937 - what is usually the first thing you notice about a person appearance-wise hair QOTD 938 - You like Huey Lewis and the News? This belongs to my top ten music songs of all time, so yes. QOTD 939 - what is the pettiest thing you have ever done I'm very petty in general, especially if people annoy me in the publicity. The pettiest thing was probably this year when the neighbors had a loud party (without asking me before) and I called the cops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 This one time, I headed onto the bus with a (sealed) can of energy drink. The driver said, in the most sickeningly saccharine tone, "Hello! How are you this morning" to every god damn person entering the bus and when you say the same greeting in the same wording to everyone it sounds hella hella fake, goddamn, same emphasis on the same syllables and everything anyway she sees the can and like, okay, so a driver's technically well within their rights to stop anyone drinking but a) nobody does that b) it was fucking closed anyway she was just kind of a massive whining poppins-esque figure about the whole thing and i had to like, talk her out of confiscating this thing i had just bought christ she continued to use exactly the same greeting to everyone who entered the bus this called for drastic measures i decided, as i left the bus, that i would not thank her, a breach of personal custom as well as traditional etiquette fuck this screeching pink hellion fuck her anyway it gets to my stop i lick my lips with anticipation i hop down i pull out my card i put it against the myway box thing it beeps my muscle memory betrays me "Thanks have a nice day" fuck.

Tryhard Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) i did the same except it was a driver who actually asked me for id because i was getting an 16 and under ticket - I was 14 or 15. my friends who were taller and honestly looked older got on fine before me, but apparently because I had a slight beard at the time I needed ID. I didn't bring ID and had to pay a full fare. I remembered to not thank the driver as I got off the bus.

Original Alear Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm kind of with NM for Tryhard's example. I agree it kind of sucks, but I think bus companies do sometimes put people on their buses to check and make sure fares are collected, etc. It may be a low chance, but they're kind of putting themselves a bit at risk to flout rules about fares, assuming their employer does something like that routinely.

Thor Odinson Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Normally I'm a solids person, but there's a specific instance of silver pinstripe on black that is very my aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___ Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Mostly solids, but I'll just go with whatever I'm comfortable with, so graphics and patterns are not outside my taste range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
