Talking Heads - (Nothing but) Flowers
Here we stand
Like an Adam and Eve
Waterfalls
Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
Birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs, cars have run on gasoline
Where? Where have they gone?
Now, it’s nothing but flowersThere was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
You’ve got it, you’ve got itWe caught a rattlesnake
Now we’ve got something for dinner
You’ve got it, you’ve got itThere was a shopping mall
Now it’s all covered with flowers
You’ve got it, you’ve got itIf this is paradise
I wish I had a lawn mower
You’ve got it, you’ve got itYears ago
I was an angry young man
I’d pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With the beautiful highway
This used to be real estate, now it’s only fields and trees
Where? Where is the town?
Now, it’s nothing but flowersThe highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we’d start over
But, I guess I was wrongOnce there were parking lots
Now it’s a peaceful oasis
You’ve got it, you’ve got itThis was a Pizza Hut
Now it’s all covered with daisies
You’ve got it, you’ve got itI miss the honky tonks
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
You’ve got it, you’ve got itAnd as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
You’ve got it, you’ve got itI dream of cherry pies
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
You’ve got it, you’ve got itWe used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
You’ve got it, you’ve got itThis was a discount store
Now it’s turned into a cornfield
You’ve got it, you’ve got itDon’t leave me stranded here
I can’t get used to this lifestyleTheir best song IMO, and weirdly a song many who are fans haven’t heard.
YOU’RE*
How is it so hard to get right?
I had a few years where every time I was about to fall asleep I had that very immediate feeling of falling that wakes you up but it was 100 times stronger than I’d ever felt before. It went from “oh, I’m nice and comfortable and just drifting off” to “HOLY FUCK I JUST ALMOST FUCKING DIED” in less than a second, it was absolutely horrifying and took a deep mental toll during and for a good while after it stopped. I still think about it in the context of this post, just the idea of “what if all those times were some sort of universe switching?” (To be clear, not in a serious way, it’s just a fun philosophical thing).
TY!! I didn’t even know the devs were from my country and live in my city until we met. We met at an underground club, me and my best friend (RIP) were talking about the game and this random dude came up to us, extremely drunk, and said he made the game and we didn’t belive him at all right then. It was only a few weeks later when we came across each other at a bar early on in the night when he showed us that he wasn’t bullshiting, haha. This was was all only a few weeks after the first game came out. He’s a great dude!
I got into origami as a teen, my mom misremembered that word and told people at her work that I was into polygamy. She didn’t understand their reactions until she told me about it a couple of days later.
This is a weird and fun coincidence!
It was my birthday yesterday and one of the two devs of hotline miami and his brother took me out to the bars, many hours and beers in we talked about how fucked we’d be if we got transported to that universe. And now this thread pops up with your comment and remember that discussion which I had forgotten in the mist of the night till now.

Yeah, you did hire goons, but you wanted gooners… And who is that to right one supposed to be? How is a maffia boss some dude with what looks like an assassin cloak with “Evil” written on it?
You need to be better and give it anyway, it’s not about what someone needs but what they are meant to know.
How the fuck did you manage to get that wrong?

The one’s on doesn’t are the ones who also doesn’t at home and if they do they don’t put it down afterwards.
Those people need to be forced to lick toilet seats until they learn some basic manners.
you being terminally “onlime” doesn’t make you part of the terminally online group. You just sit on limes.
Firstly, they’ll repair and/or make any guitar look better. It’s their job so they’ll do it. Secondly and more importantly, it isn’t about if the guitar is damaged or not. It was clearly loved for what it was, it was probably more about the history of it than anything else.
It’s really not hard to not fuck with other peoples stuff without their consent. And it’s real sad that people like you exist that don’t seem to understand that.

Flock employees.
