NBZ’s article was pretty good about SHO math showing up everywhere, but there’s more to it than that. Here’s an example from a guy you might have heard of that tries to treat the thermal response of solid materials as a bunch of SHOs:
The model isn’t all that great, but it can be usable under the right circumstances. It’s also a great example of how physicists will at least give a sporting try to model just about anything as a SHO because the math is clean and easy.
For those who haven’t heard it, here is Richard Cheese covering a different Nirvana song.
This has to be the actual soundtrack to the apocalypse right.
My favorite:
Are you unfamiliar with the musical stylings of Richard Cheese (& Lounge Against the Machine)?
Until today I was.
If buying and listening to CDs was something I still did or still happened in the world, I might get that Richard Cheese album.
I bought an album last year, first time in like ten years. Not available on Amazon’s digital service in my region, thanks Jeff. It’s not even that good, more an interesting artifact.
I love covers and I especially love cross-genre covers. Mods might want to get ready to do some pruning.
Is this song fun or gross cultural appropriation (or neither)? I’m usually dismissive of the subgenre of cross-genre covers that I think of as “ironic white-boy covers” of hip-hop. Do I feel it is different because it is a white girl?
I find it more charming than this song, which I just don’t like.
Given a rare thumbs up by Page & Plant to cover Zeppelin tracks:
So obscure it’s not listed on the Wikipedia page for the song…
I never understand why people gamble with their lives in these countries. It doesnt matter if you are innocent they dont care.
Some people are just driven by academic interest regardless of the risks.
A colleague of Mrs j finished with her boyfriend recently because she couldn’t take the stress over his safety. He was a PhD student in social sciences and was studying local conflicts and terrorism in Somalia.
Maybe it’s not so different to explorers or mountaineers. I remember a radio programme once featuring an experienced mountaineer who lost a leg and whose best friend died when an expedition they were on went horribly wrong, and the following year he was up the same mountain again on one leg lol.
Sounds like something Tom Lehrer would play if he was still performing.
Generally I think a cover is a complement, cross genre or cross race or what have you. That said, I can’t say I’m sure of the ethics of white people quoting n-bombs in hip hop lyrics that they’re covering, and if it were me, I’d avoid it, outside of the blessing of the original artist.
i can’t imagine being a white artist dropping N bombs, lmao. should never be done.
Well, it’s done in both covers NBZ posted.
i see that. both of them are dumbasses
