Maybe I'm getting too technically here compared to how it was composed, but it seems symptomatic of how we've decided melody and accompaniment means melody and bass line. Like, the bass line is not just accompaniment in this song! It trades off with other instruments as part of the melody! So if a cover decides to focus the guitar in the opening where the bass is the actual melody, they've probably misunderstood the song.

I can literally tell if a cover is good within a few seconds because of how the opening works.

Hot take: any cover of Final Take Off from Afterburner that just shoves the bass to the background has fundamentally misunderstood the song. Yes, this includes the FM Towns version.

Oh, and in case you were curious, much like my Windows 11 leak VM, this VM is also not safe for work.

Okay, I'm not going to continue boring you with this. It's literally a skinned version of Windows 7 with some software preinstalled. But, I will leave you with this. My favourite preinstalled windows theme: black spider.

1) This is in a VM, if you can't tell. I'm not sure if that's safer in this case, but we'll take it as it comes.
2) This is an actual thing you can find on archive.org. Seriously. Here:

politics and language 

This is your reminder that "it's not political" means some combination of the following:

1) "I am not aware of the political dimension of this nor do I care to learn"
2) "I don't care about this issue and neither should you"
3) "My particular stance on this should be the default"
4) "I don't mind the status quo, and have mistaken what exists for what MUST exist".

Notably, it never means something is actually NOT political. There ain't no such thing.
