What’s a still from a movie or TV show that will completely devastate anyone who has seen it, but seem completely unremarkable to anyone who hasn’t?

I think this is the best one I’ve seen (though it’s more unnerving than devastating with context). The ideal answer is something with the most possible mundanity from a glance *and* impact with context.

Enjoying all the responses, though I don’t think some of you quite understood the “completely unremarkable” part.

Everyone has that one album they think is the greatest music has ever been that all their friends think is a 7/10

The best Destroyer songs are the ones filled with inscrutable verses of verbose ramblings followed by an outro of ecstatic, wordless “la la la”s. There are, fortunately, a lot of these.

Muse song:
*synth that sounds like a broken keyboard preset*
*distorted guitar riff that is mixed to sound like rick rubin produced a dfa1979 album*
Matt Bellamy: girl , your Pussy is compromised

Glad people are enjoying this prompt. If I can plug one thing, then it would be the music review podcast & media discussion show that me and my friends do every week. Follow us @JamsTeaPod and check out the channel if you’re interested: piped.video/c/SimpleCinemaPr…

ATTN. AUTECHRE FANS
I have sequenced and crafted a 3-disc, 160-minute compilation of rare Autechre tracks that cannot be found on any of their studio albums or EPs. For hardcore fans, many of these tracks are essential, and they are now together at last: drive.google.com/drive/folde…

On my second listen of the Cindy Lee album. Critical saturation may taint what is already a prohibitively long listen for many, but this is *the real deal*. More than Brill Building pastiche, an eclectic and buzzy set of songs that feel timeless. A very real AOTY contender.

People on music twitter really say shit like “i think universally beloved album is an 8/10” as if it’s a hot take

The new IDLES album is probably the most creatively bankrupt thing I’ve heard so far this year.

I think the meme potential of “(serious and german-ly) You must Never Listen to This” was never fully realized

SOPHIE was and will remain one of the most important figures in alternative pop music, categorically. Her influence in the last eight years alone has been far reaching and will only grow with her legacy. This is an unfathomable loss.

Finished Bojack Horseman tonight. I don’t know that any piece of media I’ve come across has ever communicated so clearly that sometimes the only future that makes sense with a friend who you saved and who saved you is to let them go.

It’s good to be pissed off by a movie. It’s good to fucking hate something. It reminds you who you are, and when people challenge you on it, it tests the strength and clarity of your beliefs. Otherwise you might as well not have an opinion on anything.

Across the next three days, I will be revealing a project that has taken me months to prepare: a ranked countdown of every Autechre track - from #291 to #1!
To make things more fun, I have prepared paragraph-long writeups for every track in the Top 100.

Sophie passed away quietly in the night. She was only in our lives for three months and we knew her time was probably short but still it hurts to lose her this soon. She was friendly, and comforting, and I’ll miss her waking me up every morning and cuddling up every night. RIP

SOPHIE has spoken about how heavily influenced she was by Autechre, my favourite musicians, and nowhere is that clearer than on the home stretch of her album, but her talent was so immeasurable that she matched sound design that took them decades to develop in only a few years.

EVERY EVERYTHING EVERYTHING TRACK RANKED
In this thread, I'll be counting down a ranking of every EE track officially released to date (not including remixes, alternate versions, or covers). Once Re-Animator's out, I may post an update with those songs too. Here we go!

I don’t believe there‘s a drug in the world that can give me the same dopamine rush that the transition between Summer’s Cauldron and Grass on XTC’s Skylarking does.

Leonard Cohen once said, “There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in”
And I am not Connor Roy having an existential crisis in a karaoke bar singing Famous Blue Raincoat, but I agree

I have just realized the first 7-album runs of Steely Dan and Autechre parallel each other near-perfectly.
Can’t Buy a Thrill = Incunabula
Countdown to Ecstasy = Amber
Pretzel Logic = Tri Repetae
Katy Lied = Chiastic Slide
The Royal Scam = LP5
Aja = Confield
Gaucho = Draft 7.30
