useless Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 My point was that ive posted loads of popular music and not once been mocked (although I appreciate being edgy has brought me a lot of leeway on that score). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 To be fair to useless, he actually gets ribbed about some of the stuff he posts (particuarly from one of our bearded, DHUTWU loving posters), for being too out there in his musical tastes. All in good humour obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're generally more well crafted than a lot of our phoned in stuff over here too. I'm struggling to think of the Western equivalent to Utada Hikaru's DEEP RIVER for example. There's really nothing on that level in the mainstream here. Thank you for a real answer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev setup a VT spotify list once upon a time ... I did get to hear and subsequently like MGTM off the back of that but other than that I'm kinda set in my ways music wise ... None of this last orders and drunkenly sing along to One Direction thinking I'm being ironic lark for me as I simply don't know any of their music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Did a little more reading about Shackleton's adventure, and the guy who was the real hero was Capt. Worsley. First of all, the Norwegian whalers warned Shackleton not to make the trip because the ice pack was so fierce. He refused their advice. Then, when they actually saw land, he decided to gamble and keep sailing so that their overland trek would be shorter. Worsley tried to dissuade him of this as well. And without Worsley's navigational skill, they'd never have survived the rescue voyage. It was Shackleton's arrogance that got their ship crushed and nearly killed all of them. Charismatic leader of men and tough as nails, but not quite the kind of hero he's made out to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pioneers like Shackelton had to have an element of bloody mindedness about them in order to achieve the impossible ... it's easy to look back on it 100 years later and point out where they went wrong and their flaws ..... but equally it's only fitting that people like Worsley also get the proper acknowledgment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
