yes let's all listen to opinions on music from this utter tard lmao, nah think I'll pass actually
>>150550608nigga pls, the white stripes were the band of the naughts
Biggest flop called Sonny since Sonny Pike
He actually screenshotted his own post so he could post it in the next thread pretending it wasn’t him.It’s a grim new low for the man

hmm odd because I remember lots of popular guitar music up to the mac demarco era of indie

Mad how >our brainletbash sides became complete shit in the span of a few years
>this elaborate double bluff is trying to pull where he accuses someone else of posting it and being too cowardly to own up
the white stripes has one (1) songat least the strokes had a full album or 2 that were elite (more of an interpol man me thoughbeit)

I rate Is This It and New York City Cops, the rest is diminishing returns.Many such cases in 00s rock! The hives, the vines, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
funny how shitjeet will deny he posted the expensive piano (lmao what an idiot) postbut is completely silent on his nonce posts. almost proud. makes you think
Twiglet legs when are you going to stop looking at little nip blokes climbing past you on a cardboard wall and take your on courts beatings like a man?
Where will this rank on the list of England ODI humiliations if Saffas win 132-0?
ah yes zachy and britjeet on at the same time again what a coincidence hahaand now he just initiated a self-convo, brilliant haha
>bnob still won't answer the question about his parentsMust be some deep trauma there. Who do you think posted the Soul Limbo voc? Wasn't your pimp. Who else could it have been?
It was actually me who posted the expensive piano thing, while using incognito mode. I knew you would all leap on it, like hungry dogs as I toss out treats.Once again I prove my unparalleled ability to do play this board like Jaco on a fretless fender jazz
should have just played the bloody worcestershire sidethey'd be better at odis than this lot
is this it was fairly okayturn on the bright lights much better I agree, and I was more into liars etc at the time
only listen to zachy's takes on music desu. about 80% of the time I listen to something he likes it's good to great. simply can't trust the rest of you
Wonder what bnob does for a living, if indeed he does anything for a living
>>150550779Interpol is the best of a bad bunch.

Zachy just copies me, only he’s not brave enough to admit he likes Steve Reich. Worries it will come across as pretentious
>I won't post on /cric/ until the asheslmao look at this little addicted neek. couldn't last 24 hours
The NME were desperate to make that scene into the new punk for some reason. Suppose all their journos were too white and middle class to actually find out what the kids were listening to
Come on bnob, when are you going to release that dox?
Interpol's album (the famous one) was one of the rare times I got something good out of browsing /mu/that board is so shite these days

If music has any guitar in it (apart from the double bass), it's probably not worth listening to.

Poetry, at least intelligent poetry rather than the Pam Ayers/Rupi Kaur stuff, is one of those things which is always a few decades ahead of the mainstream zeitgeist. Sort of like avant garde music, where your Terry Rileys and Steve Reichs start doing a thing, then it takes a few years to percolate until every post punk act like Can or Kraftwerk are doing it too. Eg poets were doing the autofiction thing for decades before novelists cottoned on, or Ashbery and OHara playing the Pynchon De Lillo piano years before
One of many such examples of things invented by brown people claimed by whites. Algebra, soap, sex with women, the list goes on

Wonder if Zafar Ansari regrets his decision yet
>yeah let me just be a loser neek getting forced to play the donedred and not make millions and do tarq-level coke every night as a big shot lawyer haha
He’s a barrister with chambers at inner temple, doubt he regrets it at all. He’ll get a few years experience then move to magic circle, will make more than all but the most highly paid cricketers, and have another 30 years to practice rather than being washed at 35 and getting a job coaching.He’s probably already on £100k. How much is the average 33 year old cricketer earning right now?
>zeitgeist>percolate
>>150552641So he earns £100k (pretty much nothing in London, enough to buy a 2-bed flat if you're lucky) to spend 10 hours a day in an office doing the same mind-numbingly boring shit as he'll have to do every day for the next 30 years as a big shot lawyer
>Ex-actor Zack Polanski's unusual path to become Green Party's new leaderZaky C made it and now Zacky P has toowhen will bowen join them
>I don’t always discuss contemporary poetry, but when I do I avoid using them there fancy wordsCricketers are paid like shit and always have been. Was reading about the South Africa rebel tours, and for most of the clinching factor was it would let them put a deposit on a house, which they’d never earn playing county or England matches. Botham got on his high horse, but he was making loads from endorsements and appearances so didn’t have the same pressures. The expectation back then was you played cricket basically for free, then start an actual career in your mid thirties.
>magic circlereminds me of virgins practising card tricks in their parents' basement
>>150552670He only earns 100k now because he dicked around playing cricket so he’s a few years behind the others. That number is only going up, and he’ll be pulling 350 base plus massive commissions by the time he’s 50 if he’s smart.
>>150552708Would be curious to know what the average county cricketer earns (let's say Lewis Hill at Leicestershire or Matt Taylor at Gloucestershire), I would guess it's still at least £50kAnd keep in mind that Zafar Ansari was a Surrey all-rounder who had just broken into the England side at 25 or so, there's a fair chance he'd have got a big central contract and/or earned tens of thousands extra each year through franchise shite>>150552738I expect he's probably on more than £100k currently desu, but - even so - don't think it really makes it worth itOh wow you ended up with a £1.4 million townhouse in Pimlico and a younger wife with fake tits, all it cost you was toiling away for 10 hours per day 6 days a week doing boring shit in an officeThe man could have had true glory, but he chose to just be a slightly richer toilsman
>Oh wow you ended up with a £1.4 million townhouse in Pimlico and a younger wife with fake titsunironically living the dream

>>150552830I simply do not accept that anything about this lifestyle brings happiness or contentmentAnd it should be so blindingly obvious for an educated man to see
bet 14 year old mixed race girls on buses used to call bard a hard time when he lived in Donedon
He found the cricketing life as mind numbing as you think the work of a barrister is (and he’ll hardly be doing the boring stuff certain civil servants do all day)If I recall, he walked into a training session and Bairstow and Stokes were doing the bleep test against each other with fanatical competitiveness, and he thought it was just the most pointless shit he’d ever seen.Cricketing glory is pretty brief anyway. John Crawley once hit 156 against Sri Lanka and Murali said he was the greatest batperson he’d ever bowled at. Do you remember the innings? Would you recognise Creepy in the street?
now that the dust has settled, what went wrong?
>>150552808I saw a list of the England central contracts back in the day, and the highest paid player was Strauss as the captain, on about £120k. Rank and file were on about 60-80k. Same era they mentioned how little the Pakistani players were making, and how easily bribed they might be during the spot fixing thing. Amir was on something like 19k
>>150552923You'd have to be a really boring person to find trawling through legal documents to be as interesting as the thrills of a cricket matchCricketing glory is eternal, I remember that Crawley innings like it was yesterday>>150553003Found a source from 2017 saying the average Div 2 salary was £37k, but that there's five centrally contracted players who earn £1m+ per yearSo it seems like it's improved quite a bit for the internationals, at least
>>150552862I reckon it would for anyone though. imagine how much travelling you could do with 1.4m
riveting *falls fucking asleep*
>noooo talk about my bouldering non-progress and shit bedsit for the millionth time instead
isn't a bedsit, rentcuck
payed your rent to the bloke who owns the land you're squatting on yet mate?
>>150553105But that's just the thing, in that career you wouldn't actually enjoy any of that wealth until you retire, because it's all tied up in your London lifestyle and property, and you barely get the time off work to travel properlySure, you'll be minted at 67, but by then you're too old to really enjoy it properly
It's improper and undignified to discuss how much one earns.
you'd probably enjoy holidays more at 67 desuappreciate it all and better place it in the context of your entire lifearen't oldies always top in happiness surveys anyway
Yeah I think after KP they saw they had to start paying the top England players more to stop them fucking off to play for franchises. The media discourse was so retarded, like he was doing something immoral for wanting to get paid for being one of the best in the world at his job.Hangover from the old gentlemen vs players distinction. Either you’re off to your uncles brokerage firm after the cricketing lark is over, or you’re back to coal face in Norfshire, so why do you need money to play for England? That and the shitty county revenues.
zachy feels left out when you bring up travel because his itinerary for his last 3 ALs has beenYork bedsit -> Sussex home -> Leeds reddit sofa gym -> York bedsit
>>150553224I think I earn £43k before freelance toil but I'm not really sure, don't pay particularly close attention to it>>150553240Oldies are only top in happiness surveys because their generation hoards all the wealth
I reckon people earning six figures in London do actually manage to go on holiday now and again. Probably more than people who earn less but live in Swindon. Maybe you don’t see them in your all in two week in Tenerife, but they are about

>>150553275It's none of my business, nor anyone else's.
>>150553275>Oldies are only top in happiness surveysAnother important factor is that social media and the internet have destroyed the mental and social wellbeing of most people under 40.
>>150553305High earners usually challenge this by saying "people should be more open about their salaries so they can see find out that they're being underpaid"But mostly they just want to normalise bragging to people about their own salaryLargely, I agree with you (but my salary is a matter of public record due to the wishes of the great British taxpayer)
bard arguing that being a millionaire with a big tittied young gf is worse than toiling away in county shitcket speaks volumes
>>150553325Think it's destroyed the mental and social wellbeing of boomers too desuThey're the ones who go the most deranged at internet ragebait
boomers were always very mentally ill, 99.9% of them. maybe even the most mentally ill generation because they were raised by war ptsd (unknown / ignored) sufferers

>>150553435Much like The Beatles, they had an ear for vocal melody. That's all I can say positively about them. Both bands in general are quite mediocre.
>>150553495based fuck the Beatles true men are Johnny Cash men.
Servin' as always
Not talking about your salary is how you end up getting underpaid. If you know what the market rate is and what your colleagues are earning, you are in a much better position to negotiate when raises get discussed. Otherwise they can pull out all the old we can’t afford that, nobody else earns that much in your position, muh team tricks and you won’t have a counter.Sun Tzu knew
You can know average salaries for a position without discussing it openly.
Had a mad Beatles phase back in the day. Wore all their albums out, learnt to play the songs. Would go all day listening to nothing but the beatles. Can still appreciate them for what they are, but couldn’t listen to them now. That verse chorus verse stuff is too boring to my ears
But if you talk openly you’ll know if one of your colleagues is getting above average and can demand the same with much more authority in the negotiation.
