On this week’s episode of Unexplainable, host Noam Hassenfeld and Switched on Pop’s Charlie Harding take a deep dive into the world of lyrics, and try to figure out why some people notice the lyrics of a song more, while others seem to notice the music. Are there any song lyrics that are deep-er than you can understand?
@tangotiger Catchers chronically undervalued. Last time I looked at career numbers the highest catcher was Bench, at around #75, and Yogi was not in the the top 100. This is out of sync with what we all know catchers contribute to winning.
@BeschlossDC A nine year old in a schoolyard in Queens. A jet passes overhead and the yard panics. We realize later that it was just on its way to LaGuardia.
@TristanSnell No, it doesn't mean that. It may mean that there is a possibility of conflict, in which case having counsel involved in advance is a good precaution. It may be more than that but I don't know and neither, I'm guessing, do you.
@ejerl @RandallGrahm @Popelouchum Maro! (from Liguria) Puree of fava, garlic, pecorino, mint, lemon, olive oil. 100% approval from everyone who has tried it.
@BillSimmons You might at least have mentioned any number of actors pre-1980: Douglas, Lancaster, young Brando, Errol Flynn, plus many others. You guys tend to talk as though this stuff doesn’t count, even when you use words like “ever”.
@TVietor08 He’s actually probably thinking of the Clark Gable/Charles Laughton version from 1935, which is still quite a good movie and which in fact made a lot of money.
@petersagal An interesting comparison from the early 1970s is The Godfather (brilliant film from what is essentially a pulp novel) and The Great Gatsby (stiff and lifeless and, yes, a “slavishly imitative movie”). What makes it interesting is that Coppola wrote both screenplays.
The world is laughing at President Trump. They see him for what he really is: dangerously incompetent and incapable of world leadership. We cannot give him four more years as commander in chief.
@mikeduncan @MikeBatesSBN This seems broadly correct, but it was moving and sensitive and appropriate for Willie Mays and Buster Posey to take the 2010 WS trophy to the Polo Grounds Houses. You can acknowledge and honor predecessors without “claiming” them.
@mikeduncan Great song that is also a self parody. Worth remembering that Randy Newman’s “I Love LA” is an actual Springsteen parody that is also a great song.
@mattyglesias Small if you travel. Large if you don’t.
@MikeIsaac @felixsalmon "Foundation" is perhaps a bit off. Should be "corpse buried in the cellar"
@felixsalmon No. It’s just to conceal the bone saw on the reverse side.
@williamlegate Calm down. All it means is that the $60 is an introductory "teaser" rate, and that they plan to substantially increase the annual rate once the rollout is over. The three year deal might turn out to be a good deal, except that, you know, what you get is Fox News.
@markbruker @JPosnanski In anticipation of the next several years, the Mets could change their name to the Nails.
@mattyglesias Noncompetes are illegal in California except in connection with sales of businesses. Notice how much this law has stifled innovation and new business formation? No, I haven't either.
@SFBayDavid @MaxBoot @washingtonpost It's a two horse race, and DJT is neck and neck with Andrew Johnson.
@janeleavy1 Great to see that you are thriving. I have ordered the book.
