What’s your favorite Britpop song to actually play on an instrument?

I took up guitar and piano because I wanted to be like Bernard Butler of Suede. I’m nowhere near that insane level of talent, but I can play a handful of Britpop songs at this point of my learning journey. My current favorite to play and sing is an acoustic guitar version of Pulp’s “Death Comes To Town”. How about you?

Weird Philippino spicy garlic corn pops.

Picked these out randomly at an international market. They’re like a savory version of corn pops, with paprika, chili and garlic. Anyone had these before?

After years of struggling, I finally conquered the B chord!

I was cursed with shitty fingers that refused to all fit on the fourth fret. Tried using just the ring and pinky, but that sounded awful, since my fingertips are too padded on the bottom. Finally tried using only the pinky as a mini-bar across the D G and B strings, and it’s yielded the best results yet: I can finally get all the strings to ring out clearly. Learning guitar can be completely counter-intuitive sometimes: using my weakest finger was the answer all along.

How were you able to do it?

What are some New England-themed summer songs?

I heard Yabai!'s "Plum Island" on WMBR's Pipeline! local music radio show and can't stop listening to it. What are some of the other summer themed New England songs that are a good fit for a local summer road trip?

I first dreamt of Wasteland 2 in 1988, but had to "shiver with anticipation" for another quarter century - five PC installments of Fallout later.

Got Fallout (1998), Fallout 2 (1999), Fallout Tactics (2001), Fallout 3 (2008) and Fallout New Vegas (2010), until the promise of Wasteland 2 was finally fulfilled in 2014.

Before Fallout, there was Wasteland (1988)

I loved this game. It tapped into all my 1980s nuclear holocaust anxieties.

Czytam w tej chwili "A Cantilcle for Leibowitz" Waltera Millera. Czy możecie coś podobnie postapokaliptycznego polecić w języku polskim przez polskiego autora?

Interesuje mnie ostatnio literatura postapokaliptyczna. Próbuję też nadal utrzymać swoją polszczyznę; od dzieciństwa mieszkam poza krajem. Niestety, zupełnie nie znam się na fantastyce postapokaliptycznej w języku polskim. Czy możecie coś polecić?
