HooseLee Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 3 hours ago, Cosmic Joe said: Rock music is by far the shitiest genre. Give me Northern Soul, Gospel, Jazz, Blues, Opera, Punk any day of the week ahead of clapped-out Clapton and his fellow tired, boring electric guitarists. Keith Richards says that rock sounds like marching music. No roll and all rock. There is a channel on YouTube that has lots of brilliant northern soul. Type in Widdersoul and there are scores of videos with three northern soul songs on each one. The best thing I have ever discovered on the internet. There is something wrong if you don't like northern soul. That channel is worth it if you haven't already came across it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inclined to agree with this more and more as time passes. Some are genuinely excellent. Usually the more straightforward ones. But many of them are willy-waving shite from people who have been dealt a really good hand in life and give a Ted Talk about how anybody can do what they have done, with zero awareness that their choices are not available to the vast majority of people. Many TED Talks can be switched off as soon as the speaker says, 'So, I had just left Harvard and had no idea what I was gonna dooooo with my liiiife, RIGHT?' A good example of this recurring TED theme is this colossal bell-end whose handy tips for learning a language quickly are 1) Do not need to have a job 2) Have the means to move to the country of the language you want to learn for an indefinite period of time (despite not having a job) 3) Have the money (despite having no job) to hire a private one-to-one native-speaker tutor to hang around with you for three hours a day Easy! On the other hand, some of the simple ones are quite good. No reinventing the wheel in this one, but the message about how to make simple changes in life is effective and genuinely quite easy for anyone to apply to some area - big or small - of their life.

Stellaboz Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 There is a good Eric Bischof one about news and media from a couple years back. Genuinely relevant especially right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great example of a shite one with an inherently dislikable speaker, but it's TEDx, which has a very low bar. The actual TED talks are generally of a much higher standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
