Amazing. 4 minute answer for something very specific. Truly incredible.

I appreciate it.

I’ve got no interest in trying to pretend that i’m celebrity on here. I post an enormous amount and because of that my name is recognized by a huge amount of people on here. That’s as far as I go. I’m not “famous” or a “celebrity” for posting here (I’ve been called both on numerous occasions from casual users to admins and the phrase doesn’t sit right with me either. I just post a lot. There’s nothing ‘famous’ about it and I’m not deserving of the “Oh wow Stamets is posting here!” which mods of multiple communities have done as well. I’m just trying to help Lemmy out and add more content and get more stuff going.

Reporting back. Using your bolding for my favorite songs. Note the scores are for personal enjoyment/taste, it’s not a review of the music as a whole.

• Gimme Gimme Gimme // Syzz - That bassline. Fuuuck. 10/10
• My Heard, My Heart // Ava Max - I swear I’ve heard this in a gayclub before and was so annoyed because I didn’t get the name of the song. 10/10
• Higher Love // Kygo and Whitney Houston - Feels more like a remix than a totally new song or a cover but don’t care. Slaps like a motherfucker. 10/10
• Good Feeling // Flo Rida - Intimately familiar with this song. Don’t care. Still jamming and singing along. 10/10
• Bittersweet Symphony // Gamper Dadoni - I forgot I have this song saved on my spotify. Was halfway through it and went to save it. 8/10
• Hot Stuff // Kygo - Great vibes/background music. 8/10
• 21 Reasons // Nathan Dawe and Alle Farben - You know that meme with Vince McMahon getting more and more excited before falling out of the chair? That. 12/10 *** Samba // YouNotaus** - I don’t think I ever stopped dancing in my chair. 12/10
• Friday // Riton - Again. Pretty sure I’ve heard this in a gayclub before. This bops so fucking hard. 10/10
• Call Me - Gabry Ponte and R3HAB // Definitely a bop. Immediately added to my playlist of ‘Racing’ music.

I made it into a Playlist. It slaps. You have fucking fantastic taste in music. Every single song there slapped hard. I bow before you Sir… however I might have a gift for you.

BONUS RECOMMENDATION FROM STAMETS

Cold Heart by Dua Lipa and Elton John with one of the weirdest music videos I’ve seen lately (Rocketman - Elton John, 1972)

The one i’ve always heard (and this might be a bit Freudian) was “I’m blue, i’mma bumfuck a guy”

Oh awesome! I’m actually listening to a jam right now of Disco and House music (always looking for those good vibes). Might as well change things up a little bit. I think I’m gonna start with that ABBA song though…

Will report back soon!

That was not my intended meaning of it. I meant that I simply post an enormous amount and those people pop up in the comments. I’m not trying to big up my ego, especially when I absolutely hate myself.

That being said, if you want to tone back the reddit energy then I might recommend starting with yourself. If you have an issue with something I say, fine. Talk to me about it. I have no issue having a discussion provided it comes from a place of decency and kindness. This “Oh god, what bullshit” energy is why I left reddit. I don’t need to deal with here too. You’re a person and i’m a person. How about we both treat each other like one and talk about stuff instead of this angry energy.

Edited the comment for clarity and to remove the ‘offending’ phrase.

On my main Startrek.Website Stamets account they’re all blocked but this is my ‘mod’ account so i’ve got them all unblocked to be able to act on any reports or whatever. I’m just tired of all the constant negativity from certain people. Everytime I see them, everytime, they’re just complaining. Saying something sucks or how something is stupid or the post doesn’t make sense or how someone is an idiot. I just don’t wanna engage with that behavior anymore. I left reddit for a reason. I don’t need the prick following me around on all my posts (which, due to my constant posting, they often do) and being themselves.

True but you’ve also got to think of the genre of the music and the place in music. It’s made by a French dude to start with, David Guetta, and the type of music he makes is focused more on the vibes/beat than it is on the lyrics. The vocals are only ever really added to help further those vibes which is why I give a pass to this song. They’re not trying to create good lyrics, they’re trying to create good vibes. I can appreciate that.

I keep things to their thread/situation. There are a few users on this site who I absolutely fucking hate and considering how frequent of a poster I am, those users tend to pop up repeatedly. I don’t want this place to become reddit where people just start dragging drama from one situation to another so I try not to do that myself.

Oh nah, I know the one you’re talking about. Actually like that song. I wouldn’t call that a ‘new version’ really. It’s heavily borrowing from the song, taking the melody, but that’s not uncommon in music. If they started using any of the lyrics then I would have had a problem but it being sort of an alternate take on the lyrics, plus the general electronic stuff being injected in, makes it feel like a very different song for me so I don’t really judge it based off of the original.

That being said I totally get it not being for everyone.

Wait. There’s a new version?
