I would be happy if someone could help me find Saibou Bungaku's (細胞文学) two albums (a self-titled one and the other one called 夜までまって [Yoru Made Matte]).

Try contact The Poe, he knows his way around Japanese music.

What album are you listening to right now?

It's strange, but Boy Scouts of America is openly anti-gay despite stereotypically being a breeding ground for anal play in the woods. Meanwhile, Girl Scouts of America openly supports gay rights.

Why they didn't know anything about it before it came? I don't know anything about tornadoes but I've heard that they can kinda predict it, don't they?

Tornadoes are unpredictable. Meteorologists will look for certain weather patterns, issue warnings on about fifteen minute time scales, the sirens will go off (Silent Hill style), and all people can do is go to the lowest floor in the center of the building and hope for the best. Oklahoma City was unlucky. Sometimes it's nothing, sometimes it's a funnel cloud that never touches down, sometimes it touches down and rips up a few trees and disappears, sometimes it touches down damages some stuff and then goes back up, sometimes an F4 barrels through an entire city. That being said, this year's tornado season in the US has been surprisingly quiet, and if it continues as such I expect this year's damages from tornadoes to be surprisingly low (not sure about deaths or injuries).

Concerning FEMA, every action of theirs indicates that they have a genuine interest in helping people both mitigate and recover from disasters. There's been some FEMA blame in the past, but people need to realize that FEMA is a federal agency bound by red tape and funding limits; people also tend to forget that FEMA usually responds to disasters, and tries to help communities mitigate against disasters, rather than prevent disasters. If there's one federal agency I would cut funding from it would be the US Army Corps of Engineers, which fully fits the engineering stereotype of kids in a sandbox and is legitimately corrupt in the laziest ways.

Ultimately most natural disasters are unpredictable. I mean, we can "predict" that a tsunami wave is going to hit us, or that a volcano is erupting, but only after it actually begins. The most preventable disaster is flooding, which is also the most damaging annually. If you live in a floodplain (even behind a levee), you are simply among the dumbest people on this earth.

So I have a question: What is your favourite Neil Young song? If you have a reason write that too!

Cortez The Killer. I suck at explanations, but the sadness and melancholy of the guitar playing (this song contains some of the most powerful, emotional electric guitar riffs of all times) additionally with the enigmatic, introspective lyrics, part historical fiction, part personal confession from Young himself add up to an unforgettable, haunting result. But who knows, maybe tomorrow my favorite song of his could be something else, for entirely different reasons

Worst albums ever??

I think BEA's database should be even more expanded than now for this to be useful. Other than that, it's not a bad idea.

(omg Bork's here!)

Also from that Rabbit Lee thread:

"2028 - Ozzy Osbourne dies during a concert. No one seems to notice until another five songs into the set, at this point they just couldn't tell the difference.
2030 - Pitchfork webzine is bought out by the Trident gum corporation.
2032 - Rabbit Lee's first album is released, is lauded by critics, and doesn't sell one copy, making it the highest-selling album of 2032.
2036 - The release of Keith Richard's long-awaited fifth solo album. Richards cites his amnesia for "spicing up his new sound" by making him forget his old one.
2041 - Tupac releases another posthumous album. "I don't even think Tupac is even on this album" complains a critic.
2043 - The Beatles travel forward in time via a DeLorean to steal Radiohead's 2016 Sgt. Pepper's tribute album, so that they can remake it in the past, creating a time paradox.
2044 - The members of Weezer are sentenced to death for releasing their thirty-fourth self-titled release and confusing everyone.
2050 - an_outlaw makes a list of the top 100 albums on BEA, despite being the last BEA member who's still alive after the "accident". Sends the list to the past."

"No, no, GARY will be shot dead by Kanye West in 2024 during the filming of the music video for Kanye's hit single "Check It Out, I Shot Gary In The Freakin' Face" (Kanye himself dies in 2025, when he opts to have his entire body plated in gold without realizing the fatal implications).

GARY will be brought back to life in 2049 as a cyborg to fight off the rabid Rabbit Lee fans. Ironically, he is later killed by a solid gold-plated Kanye West, fired out of a canon by Jhereko."

Anything that comes to mind. See if you can relate it to me somehow, genuinely interested in what you come up with.

It's an okay chart but it ignores the 90's, 00's and 10's.
