I listened to music by this new group ( maybe a groupoid?) and felt the need to listen to it every time there after.But then after the third or so song, each time, the music felt unbeaable and ii turned it off. At least I am making Google/YouTube nearest neighbor work .

Nerd in paradise: World Almanac 2019 ( confusingly covering 2018) finally came out*. Still , a bit absurd to provide population figures with such precision, e.g population of China as 1,379,654,238 as if this level of accuracy is likely. Reminds me of other story: "How old is the earth? 4.5 billion and 3 years old. How do you know? Three years ago someone told me it was 4.5 billion years old.

You're not the only one with obscure posts, obviously mine are obscure, too.WWGD said:Yes, that is the obvious one but I don't see how it fits the remainder of your post.

Maybe make it sound like a line from a musical (which I never understood nor saw any point in) : Obviousl-y you have no monopol-y on obscurit-y. Nonsense, the musical.Klystron said:Obviously, you have no monopol-y on obscurity (obfuscation ?).

I'm watching a long debate between a Flat Earther and an astronaut on the tube. It's hilarious, but I don't think PF would appeciate me linking to it

TOP 20 ROCK BASS SOUNDS OF ALL TIME. Do you agree?
I agree with the assessments of:
John Paul Jones, Led Zeppelin
John Entwistle, The Who
Tom Hamilton, Aerosmith
Getty Lee, Rush
and
James Jamerson, uncredited bassist (studio session player?)
I reserve judgment on Tom Peterson (12 string bass) on "The Dream Police" and Jeff Ament on "Jeremy".
Interesting sound.
I would have included:
Matt Bissonette, Joe Satriani on "Searching"
Jon Camp, Renaissance on "Ashes Are Burning", particularly the solo on the Live at Carnegie Hall album.
Chris Hillman, The Byrds on "Eight Miles High"
Paul Samwell-Smith, Yardbirds on "Smokestack Lightning"
I'm probably showing my age/generation.
