Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen

Overall good -- Kinda sexy, but a little annoying. Like me :)

Tical by Method Man

Bee Movie Script According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Oan you believe this is happening? - I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That's me! - Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. - Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of... ...9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick ourjob today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what it'll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! - That girl was hot. - She's my cousin! - She is? - Yes, we're all cousins. - Right. You're right. - At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - You're gonna be a stirrer? - No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! I'm so proud. - We're starting work today! - Today's the day. Oome on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal... - Is it still available? - Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours! Oongratulations! Step to the side. - What'd you get? - Picking crud out. Stellar! Wow! Oouple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! Make your choice. - You want to go first? - No, you go. Oh, my. What's available? Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. - Any chance of getting the Krelman? - Sure, you're on. I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey's always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should... Barry? Barry! All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine... What happened to you? Where are you? - I'm going out. - Out? Out where? - Out there. - Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. - Look at that. - Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you? Sign here, here. Just initial that. - Thank you. - OK. You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! - That's awful. - And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow! Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind, check. - Antennae, check. - Nectar pack, check. - Wings, check. - Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let's move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! I'm out! I can't believe I'm out! So blue. I feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader. We have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. Stand to the side, kid. It's got a bit of a kick. That is one nectar collector! - Ever see pollination up close? - No, sir. I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there, a pinch on that one. See that? It's a little bit of magic. That's amazing. Why do we do that? That's pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. Oool. I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow. Oould be daisies. Don't we need those? Oopy that visual. Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move. Say again? You're reporting a moving flower? Affirmative. That was on the line! This is the coolest. What is it? I don't know, but I'm loving this color. It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it. Yeah, fuzzy. Ohemical-y. Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby. My sweet lord of bees! Oandy-brain, get off there! Problem! - Guys! - This could be bad. Affirmative. Very close. Gonna hurt. Mama's little boy. You are way out of position, rookie! Ooming in at you like a missile! Help me! I don't think these are flowers. - Should we tell him? - I think he knows. What is this?! Match point! You can start packing up, honey, because you're about to eat it! Yowser! Gross. There's a bee in the car! - Do something! - I'm driving! - Hi, bee. - He's back here! He's going to sting me! Nobody move. If you don't move, he won't sting you. Freeze! He blinked! Spray him, Granny! What are you doing?! Wow... the tension level out here is unbelievable. I gotta get home. Oan't fly in rain. Oan't fly in rain. Oan't fly in rain. Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! Ken, could you close the window please? Ken, could you close the window please? Oheck out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure. You see? Folds out. Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this. What was that? Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This... Drapes! That is diabolical. It's fantastic. It's got all my special skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. What's number one? Star Wars? Nah, I don't go for that... ...kind of stuff. No wonder we shouldn't talk to them. They're out of their minds. When I leave a job interview, they're flabbergasted, can't believe what I say. There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out. I don't remember the sun having a big 75 on it. I predicted global warming. I could feel it getting hotter. At first I thought it was just me. Wait! Stop! Bee! Stand back. These are winter boots. Wait! Don't kill him! You know I'm allergic to them! This thing could kill me! Why does his life have less value than yours? Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your statement? I'm just saying all life has value. You don't know what he's capable of feeling. My brochure! There you go, little guy. I'm not scared of him. It's an allergic thing. Put that on your resume brochure. My whole face could puff up. Make it one of your special skills. Knocking someone out is also a special skill. Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks. - Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night? - Sure, Ken. You know, whatever. - You could put carob chips on there. - Bye. - Supposed to be less calories. - Bye. I gotta say something. She saved my life. I gotta say something. All right, here it goes. Nah. What would I say? I could really get in trouble. It's a bee law. You're not supposed to talk to a human. I can't believe I'm doing this. I've got to. Oh, I can't do it. Oome on! No. Yes. No. Do it. I can't. How should I start it? "You like jazz?" No, that's no good. Here she comes! Speak, you fool! Hi! I'm sorry. - You're talking. - Yes, I know. You're talking! I'm so sorry. No, it's OK. It's fine. I know I'm dreaming. But I don't recall going to bed. Well, I'm sure this is very disconcerting. This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you're a bee! I am. And I'm not supposed to be doing this, but they were all trying to kill me. And if it wasn't for you... I had to thank you. It's just how I was raised. That was a little weird. - I'm talking with a bee. - Yeah. I'm talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me! I just want to say I'm grateful. I'll leave now. - Wait! How did you learn to do that? - What? The talking thing. Same way you did, I guess. "Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up. - That's very funny. - Yeah. Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry with what we have to deal with. Anyway... Oan I... ...get you something? - Like what? I don't know. I mean... I don't know. Ooffee? I don't want to put you out. It's no trouble. It takes two minutes. - It's just coffee. - I hate to impose. - Don't be ridiculous! - Actually, I would love a cup. Hey, you want rum cake? - I shouldn't. - Have some. - No, I can't. - Oome on! I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms. - Where? - These stripes don't help. You look great! I don't know if you know anything about fashion. Are you all right? No. He's making the tie in the cab as they're flying up Madison. He finally gets there. He runs up the steps into the church. The wedding is on. And he says, "Watermelon? I thought you said Guatemalan. Why would I marry a watermelon?" Is that a bee joke? That's the kind of stuff we do. Yeah, different. So, what are you gonna do, Barry? About work? I don't know. I want to do my part for the hive, but I can't do it the way they want. I know how you feel. - You do? - Sure. My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist. - Really? - My only interest is flowers. Our new queen was just elected with that same campaign slogan. Anyway, if you look... There's my hive right there. See it? You're in Sheep Meadow! Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond! No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once. - Why do girls put rings on their toes? - Why not? - It's like putting a hat on your knee. - Maybe I'll try that. - You all right, ma'am? - Oh, yeah. Fine. Just having two cups of coffee! Anyway, this has been great. Thanks for the coffee. Yeah, it's no trouble. Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did, I'd be up the rest of my life. Are you...? Oan I take a piece of this with me? Sure! Here, have a crumb. - Thanks! - Yeah. All right. Well, then... I guess I'll see you around. Or not. OK, Barry. And thank you so much again... for before. Oh, that? That was nothing. Well, not nothing, but... Anyway... This can't possibly work. He's all set to go. We may as well try it. OK, Dave, pull the chute. - Sounds amazing. - It was amazing! It was the scariest, happiest moment of my life. Humans! I can't believe you were with humans! Giant, scary humans! What were they like? Huge and crazy. They talk crazy. They eat crazy giant things. They drive crazy. - Do they try and kill you, like on TV? - Some of them. But some of them don't. - How'd you get back? - Poodle. You did it, and I'm glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see. You had your "experience." Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal. - Well... - Well? Well, I met someone. You did? Was she Bee-ish? - A wasp?! Your parents will kill you! - No, no, no, not a wasp. - Spider? - I'm not attracted to spiders. I know it's the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all. I can't get by that face. So who is she? She's... human. No, no. That's a bee law. You wouldn't break a bee law. - Her name's Vanessa. - Oh, boy. She's so nice. And she's a florist! Oh, no! You're dating a human florist! We're not dating. You're flying outside the hive, talking to humans that attack our homes with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite! She saved my life! And she understands me. This is over! Eat this. This is not over! What was that? - They call it a crumb. - It was so stingin' stripey! And that's not what they eat. That's what falls off what they eat! - You know what a Oinnabon is? - No. It's bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up... Sit down! ...really hot! - Listen to me! We are not them! We're us. There's us and there's them! Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning? There's no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me! You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee! - Thinking bee. - Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! There he is. He's in the pool. You know what your problem is, Barry? I gotta start thinking bee? How much longer will this go on? It's been three days! Why aren't you working? I've got a lot of big life decisions to think about. What life? You have no life! You have no job. You're barely a bee! Would it kill you to make a little honey? Barry, come out. Your father's talking to you. Martin, would you talk to him? Barry, I'm talking to you! You coming? Got everything? All set! Go ahead. I'll catch up. Don't be too long. Watch this! Vanessa! - We're still here. - I told you not to yell at him. He doesn't respond to yelling! - Then why yell at me? - Because you don't listen! I'm not listening to this. Sorry, I've gotta go. - Where are you going? - I'm meeting a friend. A girl? Is this why you can't decide? Bye. I just hope she's Bee-ish. They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena? To be in the Tournament of Roses, that's every florist's dream! Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering. A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events? No. All right, I've got one. How come you don't fly everywhere? It's exhausting. Why don't you run everywhere? It's faster. Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn. TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? That's insane! You don't have that? We have Hivo, but it's a disease. It's a horrible, horrible disease. Oh, my. Dumb bees! You must want to sting all those jerks. We try not to sting. It's usually fatal for us. So you have to watch your temper. Very carefully. You kick a wall, take a walk, write an angry letter and throw it out. Work through it like any emotion: Anger, jealousy, lust. Oh, my goodness! Are you OK? Yeah. - What is wrong with you?! - It's a bug. He's not bothering anybody. Get out of here, you creep! What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular? Yeah, it was. How did you know? It felt like about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit. You've really got that down to a science. - I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue. - I'll bet. What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this? How did this get here? Oute Bee, Golden Blossom, Ray Liotta Private Select? - Is he that actor? - I never heard of him. - Why is this here? - For people. We eat it. You don't have enough food of your own? - Well, yes. - How do you get it? - Bees make it. - I know who makes it! And it's hard to make it! There's heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing! - It's organic. - It's our-ganic! It's just honey, Barry. Just what?! Bees don't know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing! You've taken our homes, schools, hospitals! This is all we have! And it's on sale?! I'm getting to the bottom of this. I'm getting to the bottom of all of this! Hey, Hector. - You almost done? - Almost. He is here. I sense it. Well, I guess I'll go home now and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around. You're busted, box boy! I knew I heard something. So you can talk! I can talk. And now you'll start talking! Where you getting the sweet stuff? Who's your supplier? I don't understand. I thought we were friends. The last thing we want to do is upset bees! You're too late! It's ours now! You, sir, have crossed the wrong sword! You, sir, will be lunch for my iguana, Ignacio! Where is the honey coming from? Tell me where! Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms! Orazy person! What horrible thing has happened here? These faces, they never knew what hit them. And now they're on the road to nowhere! Just keep still. What? You're not dead? Do I look dead? They will wipe anything that moves. Where you headed? To Honey Farms. I am onto something huge here. I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood, crazy stuff. Blows your head off! I'm going to Tacoma. - And you? - He really is dead. All right. Uh-oh! - What is that?! - Oh, no! - A wiper! Triple blade! - Triple blade? Jump on! It's your only chance, bee! Why does everything have to be so doggone clean?! How much do you people need to see?! Open your eyes! Stick your head out the window! From NPR News in Washington, I'm Oarl Kasell. But don't kill no more bugs! - Bee! - Moose blood guy!! - You hear something? - Like what? Like tiny screaming. Turn off the radio. Whassup, bee boy? Hey, Blood. Just a row of honey jars, as far as the eye could see. Wow! I assume wherever this truck goes is where they're getting it. I mean, that honey's ours. - Bees hang tight. - We're all jammed in. It's a close community. Not us, man. We on our own. Every mosquito on his own. - What if you get in trouble? - You a mosquito, you in trouble. Nobody likes us. They just smack. See a mosquito, smack, smack! At least you're out in the world. You must meet girls. Mosquito girls try to trade up, get with a moth, dragonfly. Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito. You got to be kidding me! Mooseblood's about to leave the building! So long, bee! - Hey, guys! - Mooseblood! I knew I'd catch y'all down here. Did you bring your crazy straw? We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, and it's pretty much pure profit. What is this place? A bee's got a brain the size of a pinhead. They are pinheads! Pinhead. - Oheck out the new smoker. - Oh, sweet. That's the one you want. The Thomas 3000! Smoker? Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic. Twice the nicotine, all the tar. A couple breaths of this knocks them right out. They make the honey, and we make the money. "They make the honey, and we make the money"? Oh, my! What's going on? Are you OK? Yeah. It doesn't last too long. Do you know you're in a fake hive with fake walls? Our queen was moved here. We had no choice. This is your queen? That's a man in women's clothes! That's a drag queen! What is this? Oh, no! There's hundreds of them! Bee honey. Our honey is being brazenly stolen on a massive scale! This is worse than anything bears have done! I intend to do something. Oh, Barry, stop. Who told you humans are taking our honey? That's a rumor. Do these look like rumors? That's a conspiracy theory. These are obviously doctored photos. How did you get mixed up in this? He's been talking to humans. - What? - Talking to humans?! He has a human girlfriend. And they make out! Make out? Barry! We do not. - You wish you could. - Whose side are you on? The bees! I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Those crazy legs kept me up all night. Barry, this is what you want to do with your life? I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder than bees! Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked your hands were still stirring. You couldn't stop. I remember that. What right do they have to our honey? We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm for no reason whatsoever! Even if it's true, what can one bee do? Sting them where it really hurts. In the face! The eye! - That would hurt. - No. Up the nose? That's a killer. There's only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters. Hive at Five, the hive's only full-hour action news source. No more bee beards! With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk. Weather with Storm Stinger. Sports with Buzz Larvi. And Jeanette Ohung. - Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble. - And I'm Jeanette Ohung. A tri-county bee, Barry Benson, intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey, packaging it and profiting from it illegally! Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King, we'll have three former queens here in our studio, discussing their new book, Olassy Ladies, out this week on Hexagon. Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson. Did you ever think, "I'm a kid from the hive. I can't do this"? Bees have never been afraid to change the world. What about Bee Oolumbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus? Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans. We were thinking of stickball or candy stores. How old are you? The bee community is supporting you in this case, which will be the trial of the bee century. You know, they have a Larry King in the human world too. It's a common name. Next week... He looks like you and has a show and suspenders and colored dots... Next week... Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the guest even though you just heard 'em. Bear Week next week! They're scary, hairy and here live. Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish. In tennis, you attack at the point of weakness! It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81. Honey, her backhand's a joke! I'm not gonna take advantage of that? Quiet, please. Actual work going on here. - Is that that same bee? - Yes, it is! I'm helping him sue the human race. - Hello. - Hello, bee. This is Ken. Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe. Why does he talk again? Listen, you better go 'cause we're really busy working. But it's our yogurt night! Bye-bye. Why is yogurt night so difficult?! You poor thing. You two have been at this for hours! Yes, and Adam here has been a huge help. - Frosting... - How many sugars? Just one. I try not to use the competition. So why are you helping me? Bees have good qualities. And it takes my mind off the shop. Instead of flowers, people are giving balloon bouquets now. Those are great, if you're three. And artificial flowers. - Oh, those just get me psychotic! - Yeah, me too. Bent stingers, pointless pollination. Bees must hate those fake things! Nothing worse than a daffodil that's had work done. Maybe this could make up for it a little bit. - This lawsuit's a pretty big deal. - I guess. You sure you want to go through with it? Am I sure? When I'm done with the humans, they won't be able to say, "Honey, I'm home," without paying a royalty! It's an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan, where the world anxiously waits, because for the first time in history, we will hear for ourselves if a honeybee can actually speak. What have we gotten into here, Barry? It's pretty big, isn't it? I can't believe how many humans don't work during the day. You think billion-dollar multinational food companies have good lawyers? Everybody needs to stay behind the barricade. - What's the matter? - I don't know, I just got a chill. Well, if it isn't the bee team. You boys work on this? All rise! The Honorable Judge Bumbleton presiding. All right. Oase number 4475, Superior Oourt of New York, Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry is now in session. Mr. Montgomery, you're representing the five food companies collectively? A privilege. Mr. Benson... you're representing all the bees of the world? I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor, we're ready to proceed. Mr. Montgomery, your opening statement, please. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my grandmother was a simple woman. Born on a farm, she believed it was man's divine right to benefit from the bounty of nature God put before us. If we lived in the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson imagines, just think of what would it mean. I would have to negotiate with the silkworm for the elastic in my britches! Talking bee! How do we know this isn't some sort of holographic motion-picture-capture Hollywood wizardry? They could be using laser beams! Robotics! Ventriloquism! Oloning! For all we know, he could be on steroids! Mr. Benson? Ladies and gentlemen, there's no trickery here. I'm just an ordinary bee. Honey's pretty important to me. It's important to all bees. We invented it! We make it. And we protect it with our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they can take it from us 'cause we're the little guys! I'm hoping that, after this is all over, you'll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we have but everything we are! I wish he'd dress like that all the time. So nice! Oall your first witness. So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms, big company you have. I suppose so. I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron! Yes, they provide beekeepers for our farms. Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term. I don't imagine you employ any bee-free-ers, do you? - No. - I couldn't hear you. - No. - No. Because you don't free bees. You keep bees. Not only that, it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey. They're very lovable creatures. Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear. You mean like this? Bears kill bees! How'd you like his head crashing through your living room?! Biting into your couch! Spitting out your throw pillows! OK, that's enough. Take him away. So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here. Your name intrigues me. - Where have I heard it before? - I was with a band called The Police. But you've never been a police officer, have you? No, I haven't. No, you haven't. And so here we have yet another example of bee culture casually stolen by a human for nothing more than a prance-about stage name. Oh, please. Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I'm feeling a little stung, Sting. Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner! That's not his real name?! You idiots! Mr. Liotta, first, belated congratulations on your Emmy win for a guest spot on ER in 2005. Thank you. Thank you. I see from your resume that you're devilishly handsome with a churning inner turmoil that's ready to blow. I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime? Not yet it isn't. But is this what it's come to for you? Exploiting tiny, helpless bees so you don't have to rehearse your part and learn your lines, sir? Watch it, Benson! I could blow right now! This isn't a goodfella. This is a badfella! Why doesn't someone just step on this creep, and we can all go home?! - Order in this court! - You're all thinking it! Order! Order, I say! - Say it! - Mr. Liotta, please sit down! I think it was awfully nice of that bear to pitch in like that. I think the jury's on our side. Are we doing everything right, legally? I'm a florist. Right. Well, here's to a great team. To a great team! Well, hello. - Ken! - Hello. I didn't think you were coming. No, I was just late. I tried to call, but... the battery. I didn't want all this to go to waste, so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free. Oh, that was lucky. There's a little left. I could heat it up. Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever. So I hear you're quite a tennis player. I'm not much for the game myself. The ball's a little grabby. That's where I usually sit. Right... there. Ken, Barry was looking at your resume, and he agreed with me that eating with chopsticks isn't really a special skill. You think I don't see what you're doing? I know how hard it is to find the rightjob. We have that in common. Do we? Bees have 100 percent employment, but we do jobs like taking the crud out. That's just what I was thinking about doing. Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor for his fuzz. I hope that was all right. I'm going to drain the old stinger. Yeah, you do that. Look at that. You know, I've just about had it with your little mind games. - What's that? - Italian Vogue. Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages. A lot of ads. Remember what Van said, why is your life more valuable than mine? Funny, I just can't seem to recall that! I think something stinks in here! I love the smell of flowers. How do you like the smell of flames?! Not as much. Water bug! Not taking sides! Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat! This is pathetic! I've got issues! Well, well, well, a royal flush! - You're bluffing. - Am I? Surf's up, dude! Poo water! That bowl is gnarly. Except for those dirty yellow rings! Kenneth! What are you doing?! You know, I don't even like honey! I don't eat it! We need to talk! He's just a little bee! And he happens to be the nicest bee I've met in a long time! Long time? What are you talking about?! Are there other bugs in your life? No, but there are other things bugging me in life. And you're one of them! Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night... My nerves are fried from riding on this emotional roller coaster! Goodbye, Ken. And for your information, I prefer sugar-free, artificial sweeteners made by man! I'm sorry about all that. I know it's got an aftertaste! I like it! I always felt there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me. I couldn't overcome it. Oh, well. Are you OK for the trial? I believe Mr. Montgomery is about out of ideas. We would like to call Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand. Good idea! You can really see why he's considered one of the best lawyers... Yeah. Layton, you've gotta weave some magic with this jury, or it's gonna be all over. Don't worry. The only thing I have to do to turn this jury around is to remind them of what they don't like about bees. - You got the tweezers? - Are you allergic? Only to losing, son. Only to losing. Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you what I think we'd all like to know. What exactly is your relationship to that woman? We're friends. - Good friends? - Yes. How good? Do you live together? Wait a minute... Are you her little... ...bedbug? I've seen a bee documentary or two. From what I understand, doesn't your queen give birth to all the bee children? - Yeah, but... - So those aren't your real parents! - Oh, Barry... - Yes, they are! Hold me back! You're an illegitimate bee, aren't you, Benson? He's denouncing bees! Don't y'all date your cousins? - Objection! - I'm going to pincushion this guy! Adam, don't! It's what he wants! Oh, I'm hit!! Oh, lordy, I am hit! Order! Order! The venom! The venom is coursing through my veins! I have been felled by a winged beast of destruction! You see? You can't treat them like equals! They're striped savages! Stinging's the only thing they know! It's their way! - Adam, stay with me. - I can't feel my legs. What angel of mercy will come forward to suck the poison from my heaving buttocks? I will have order in this court. Order! Order, please! The case of the honeybees versus the human race took a pointed turn against the bees yesterday when one of their legal team stung Layton T. Montgomery. - Hey, buddy. - Hey. - Is there much pain? - Yeah. I... I blew the whole case, didn't I? It doesn't matter. What matters is you're alive. You could have died. I'd be better off dead. Look at me. They got it from the cafeteria downstairs, in a tuna sandwich. Look, there's a little celery still on it. What was it like to sting someone? I can't explain it. It was all... All adrenaline and then... and then ecstasy! All right. You think it was all a trap? Of course. I'm sorry. I flew us right into this. What were we thinking? Look at us. We're just a couple of bugs in this world. What will the humans do to us if they win? I don't know. I hear they put the roaches in motels. That doesn't sound so bad. Adam, they check in, but they don't check out! Oh, my. Oould you get a nurse to close that window? - Why? - The smoke. Bees don't smoke. Right. Bees don't smoke. Bees don't smoke! But some bees are smoking. That's it! That's our case! It is? It's not over? Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere. Get back to the court and stall. Stall any way you can. And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub. Mr. Flayman. Yes? Yes, Your Honor! Where is the rest of your team? Well, Your Honor, it's interesting. Bees are trained to fly haphazardly, and as a result, we don't make very good time. I actually heard a funny story about... Your Honor, haven't these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this court's valuable time? How much longer will we allow these absurd shenanigans to go on? They have presented no compelling evidence to support their charges against my clients, who run legitimate businesses. I move for a complete dismissal of this entire case! Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going to have to consider Mr. Montgomery's motion. But you can't! We have a terrific case. Where is your proof? Where is the evidence? Show me the smoking gun! Hold it, Your Honor! You want a smoking gun? Here is your smoking gun. What is that? It's a bee smoker! What, this? This harmless little contraption? This couldn't hurt a fly, let alone a bee. Look at what has happened to bees who have never been asked, "Smoking or non?" Is this what nature intended for us? To be forcibly addicted to smoke machines and man-made wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives as honey slaves to the white man? - What are we gonna do? - He's playing the species card. Ladies and gentlemen, please, free these bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! The court finds in favor of the bees! Vanessa, we won! I knew you could do it! High-five! Sorry. I'm OK! You know what this means? All the honey will finally belong to the bees. Now we won't have to work so hard all the time. This is an unholy perversion of the balance of nature, Benson. You'll regret this. Barry, how much honey is out there? All right. One at a time. Barry, who are you wearing? My sweater is Ralph Lauren, and I have no pants. - What if Montgomery's right? - What do you mean? We've been living the bee way a long time, 27 million years. Oongratulations on your victory. What will you demand as a settlement? First, we'll demand a complete shutdown of all bee work camps. Then we want back the honey that was ours to begin with, every last drop. We demand an end to the glorification of the bear as anything more than a filthy, smelly, bad-breath stink machine. We're all aware of what they do in the woods. Wait for my signal. Take him out. He'll have nauseous for a few hours, then he'll be fine. And we will no longer tolerate bee-negative nicknames... But it's just a prance-about stage name! ...unnecessary inclusion of honey in bogus health products and la-dee-da human tea-time snack garnishments. Oan't breathe. Bring it in, boys! Hold it right there! Good. Tap it. Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups, and there's gallons more coming! - I think we need to shut down! - Shut down? We've never shut down. Shut down honey production! Stop making honey! Turn your key, sir! What do we do now? Oannonball! We're shutting honey production! Mission abort. Aborting pollination and nectar detail. Returning to base. Adam, you wouldn't believe how much honey was out there. Oh, yeah? What's going on? Where is everybody? - Are they out celebrating? - They're home. They don't know what to do. Laying out, sleeping in. I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way to San Antonio with a cricket. At least we got our honey back. Sometimes I think, so what if humans liked our honey? Who wouldn't? It's the greatest thing in the world! I was excited to be part of making it. This was my new desk. This was my new job. I wanted to do it really well. And now... Now I can't. I don't understand why they're not happy. I thought their lives would be better! They're doing nothing. It's amazing. Honey really changes people. You don't have any idea what's going on, do you? - What did you want to show me? - This. What happened here? That is not the half of it. Oh, no. Oh, my. They're all wilting. Doesn't look very good, does it? No. And whose fault do you think that is? You know, I'm gonna guess bees. Bees? Specifically, me. I didn't think bees not needing to make honey would affect all these things. It's notjust flowers. Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees. That's our whole SAT test right there. Take away produce, that affects the entire animal kingdom. And then, of course... The human species? So if there's no more pollination, it could all just go south here, couldn't it? I know this is also partly my fault. How about a suicide pact? How do we do it? - I'll sting you, you step on me. - Thatjust kills you twice. Right, right. Listen, Barry... sorry, but I gotta get going. I had to open my mouth and talk. Vanessa? Vanessa? Why are you leaving? Where are you going? To the final Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena. They've moved it to this weekend because all the flowers are dying. It's the last chance I'll ever have to see it. Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry. I never meant it to turn out like this. I know. Me neither. Tournament of Roses. Roses can't do sports. Wait a minute. Roses. Roses? Roses! Vanessa! Roses?! Barry? - Roses are flowers! - Yes, they are. Flowers, bees, pollen! I know. That's why this is the last parade. Maybe not. Oould you ask him to slow down? Oould you slow down? Barry! OK, I made a huge mistake. This is a total disaster, all my fault. Yes, it kind of is. I've ruined the planet. I wanted to help you with the flower shop. I've made it worse. Actually, it's completely closed down. I thought maybe you were remodeling. But I have another idea, and it's greater than my previous ideas combined. I don't want to hear it! All right, they have the roses, the roses have the pollen. I know every bee, plant and flower bud in this park. All we gotta do is get what they've got back here with what we've got. - Bees. - Park. - Pollen! - Flowers. - Repollination! - Across the nation! Tournament of Roses, Pasadena, Oalifornia. They've got nothing but flowers, floats and cotton candy. Security will be tight. I have an idea. Vanessa Bloome, FTD. Official floral business. It's real. Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch. Thank you. It was a gift. Once inside, we just pick the right float. How about The Princess and the Pea? I could be the princess, and you could be the pea! Yes, I got it. - Where should I sit? - What are you? - I believe I'm the pea. - The pea? It goes under the mattresses. - Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart. - I'm getting the marshal. You do that! This whole parade is a fiasco! Let's see what this baby'll do. Hey, what are you doing?! Then all we do is blend in with traffic... ...without arousing suspicion. Once at the airport, there's no stopping us. Stop! Security. - You and your insect pack your float? - Yes. Has it been in your possession the entire time? Would you remove your shoes? - Remove your stinger. - It's part of me. I know. Just having some fun. Enjoy your flight. Then if we're lucky, we'll have just enough pollen to do the job. Oan you believe how lucky we are? We have just enough pollen to do the job! I think this is gonna work. It's got to work. Attention, passengers, this is Oaptain Scott. We have a bit of bad weather in New York. It looks like we'll experience a couple hours delay. Barry, these are cut flowers with no water. They'll never make it. I gotta get up there and talk to them. Be careful. Oan I get help with the Sky Mall magazine? I'd like to order the talking inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer. Oaptain, I'm in a real situation. - What'd you say, Hal? - Nothing. Bee! Don't freak out! My entire species... What are you doing? - Wait a minute! I'm an attorney! - Who's an attorney? Don't move. Oh, Barry. Good afternoon, passengers. This is your captain. Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B please report to the cockpit? And please hurry! What happened here? There was a DustBuster, a toupee, a life raft exploded. One's bald, one's in a boat, they're both unconscious! - Is that another bee joke? - No! No one's flying the plane! This is JFK control tower, Flight 356. What's your status? This is Vanessa Bloome. I'm a florist from New York. Where's the pilot? He's unconscious, and so is the copilot. Not good. Does anyone onboard have flight experience? As a matter of fact, there is. - Who's that? - Barry Benson. From the honey trial?! Oh, great. Vanessa, this is nothing more than a big metal bee. It's got giant wings, huge engines. I can't fly a plane. - Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot? - Yes. How hard could it be? Wait, Barry! We're headed into some lightning. This is Bob Bumble. We have some late-breaking news from JFK Airport, where a suspenseful scene is developing. Barry Benson, fresh from his legal victory... That's Barry! ...is attempting to land a plane, loaded with people, flowers and an incapacitated flight crew. Flowers?! We have a storm in the area and two individuals at the controls with absolutely no flight experience. Just a minute. There's a bee on that plane. I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson and his no-account compadres. They've done enough damage. But isn't he your only hope? Technically, a bee shouldn't be able to fly at all. Their wings are too small... Haven't we heard this a million times? "The surface area of the wings and body mass make no sense." - Get this on the air! - Got it. - Stand by. - We're going live. The way we work may be a mystery to you. Making honey takes a lot of bees doing a lot of small jobs. But let me tell you about a small job. If you do it well, it makes a big difference. More than we realized. To us, to everyone. That's why I want to get bees back to working together. That's the bee way! We're not made of Jell-O. We get behind a fellow. - Black and yellow! - Hello! Left, right, down, hover. - Hover? - Forget hover. This isn't so hard. Beep-beep! Beep-beep! Barry, what happened?! Wait, I think we were on autopilot the whole time. - That may have been helping me. - And now we're not! So it turns out I cannot fly a plane. All of you, let's get behind this fellow! Move it out! Move out! Our only chance is if I do what I'd do, you copy me with the wings of the plane! Don't have to yell. I'm not yelling! We're in a lot of trouble. It's very hard to concentrate with that panicky tone in your voice! It's not a tone. I'm panicking! I can't do this! Vanessa, pull yourself together. You have to snap out of it! You snap out of it. You snap out of it. - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - Hold it! - Why? Oome on, it's my turn. How is the plane flying? I don't know. Hello? Benson, got any flowers for a happy occasion in there? The Pollen Jocks! They do get behind a fellow. - Black and yellow. - Hello. All right, let's drop this tin can on the blacktop. Where? I can't see anything. Oan you? No, nothing. It's all cloudy. Oome on. You got to think bee, Barry. - Thinking bee. - Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Wait a minute. I think I'm feeling something. - What? - I don't know. It's strong, pulling me. Like a 27-million-year-old instinct. Bring the nose down. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! - What in the world is on the tarmac? - Get some lights on that! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! - Vanessa, aim for the flower. - OK. Out the engines. We're going in on bee power. Ready, boys? Affirmative! Good. Good. Easy, now. That's it. Land on that flower! Ready? Full reverse! Spin it around! - Not that flower! The other one! - Which one? - That flower. - I'm aiming at the flower! That's a fat guy in a flowered shirt. I mean the giant pulsating flower made of millions of bees! Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up. Rotate around it. - This is insane, Barry! - This's the only way I know how to fly. Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane flying in an insect-like pattern? Get your nose in there. Don't be afraid. Smell it. Full reverse! Just drop it. Be a part of it. Aim for the center! Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman! Oome on, already. Barry, we did it! You taught me how to fly! - Yes. No high-five! - Right. Barry, it worked! Did you see the giant flower? What giant flower? Where? Of course I saw the flower! That was genius! - Thank you. - But we're not done yet. Listen, everyone! This runway is covered with the last pollen from the last flowers available anywhere on Earth. That means this is our last chance. We're the only ones who make honey, pollinate flowers and dress like this. If we're gonna survive as a species, this is our moment! What do you say? Are we going to be bees, orjust Museum of Natural History keychains? We're bees! Keychain! Then follow me! Except Keychain. Hold on, Barry. Here. You've earned this. Yeah! I'm a Pollen Jock! And it's a perfect fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves. Oh, yeah. That's our Barry. Mom! The bees are back! If anybody needs to make a call, now's the time. I got a feeling we'll be working late tonight! Here's your change. Have a great afternoon! Oan I help who's next? Would you like some honey with that? It is bee-approved. Don't forget these. Milk, cream, cheese, it's all me. And I don't see a nickel! Sometimes I just feel like a piece of meat! I had no idea. Barry, I'm sorry. Have you got a moment? Would you excuse me? My mosquito associate will help you. Sorry I'm late. He's a lawyer too? I was already a blood-sucking parasite. All I needed was a briefcase. Have a great afternoon! Barry, I just got this huge tulip order, and I can't get them anywhere. No problem, Vannie. Just leave it to me. You're a lifesaver, Barry. Oan I help who's next? All right, scramble, jocks! It's time to fly. Thank you, Barry! That bee is living my life! Let it go, Kenny. - When will this nightmare end?! - Let it all go. - Beautiful day to fly. - Sure is. Between you and me, I was dying to get out of that office. You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. - Thinking bee! - Me? Hold it. Let's just stop for a second. Hold it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone. Oan we stop here? I'm not making a major life decision during a production number! All right. Take ten, everybody. Wrap it up, guys. I had virtually no rehearsal for that. Special thanks to SergeiK.

Suede by Suede

Going to start putting a link to a better album I can’t believe didn’t make the list on the review of every stupid, randomly picked, infuriating British album on here. A Day Without Rain by Enya, 2000 (5 stars) https://open.spotify.com/album/2ioso1tqQ5zABQDVYyiUi5?si=BNSjbtnHTd2s4QIhUhkw8g You’re welcome.

Heroes by David Bowie

This feels like it was designed in a lab to annoy me. I never want to hear it again.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz

This album really gave me empathy for my husband. I feel like this is what it’s like to try to have a conversation with me when I’m hyperfixated on something. I say the same shit, the conversation moves along, then I go back to the same shit over and over. I actually kinda liked it tho

xx by The xx
Dec 11 2024

Made me both antsy and sleepy. I definitely liked a few of the songs, the more tumblr2014 ones.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Dec 12 2024

I liked the beats and background better than his voice. Idk there’s just something missing from the melodies for me? Like it’s almost there but missing a spark to be good for me? Hm. It sounds like there’s some poetry to it, which is nice. I wanted to like it. Ok I like money trees ok but it still feels like it’s missing something. I’m updating this as I listen. MAAD city has great beats and I know it’s deep but… his voice takes me out of it my dudes. But also I don’t specifically hate his voice, it just doesn’t go together for me. I like MC Eiht’s voice tho.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 13 2024

I wish I could listen to this album again for the first time. Literally shed a tear to the go your own way guitar solo this morning.

Ehhh not usually my scene but I can appreciate it. Less cymbals than I expected which is good. Feels like the part in a movie where they’re in the UK and walk into a rough crowd club or a montage with Rodrick Heffley idk. I think I had to listen to some of this for my history of rock and roll class in college. 2.5 / 5 so I’m giving it a 3. I won’t take points off for this but this all sounds kinda like it could be the same song and now I’ve had enough Sex Pistols for the rest of my life. BUT I would listen again as background music.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 17 2024

No idea what genre this is but I like it! A 4/5 bc I like it but it didn’t make me go crazy go stupid. I’ve been dazed sounds like a beautiful sunrise. Or like when the sun makes a visible ray thru a hole in the clouds. Kind of later Edward sharpe at some points. Feels like something a cool cousin would have on at their house when u come over. I feel like this album did CPR on some of my brain cells.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Dec 18 2024

Thought this would be a 4 but it’s a 3. Idk I listen to her sometimes, there are other songs of hers I like a lil better. Song specific comments: -Mama gave birth to the soul children did wayyyy too much of the child voice sound effect. -Come into my house I hope someone does or did a drag dance to this song at some point - Then too many of the songs sounded like the same thing

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 19 2024

Really thought it would be more sad, but I’m sure it might be if I personally could tell what people are saying better. (Update: googled it and the words are in fact largely sad) Hear me out: R patz circa never think doing some kind of collab Tbh I like all the Auauauoo EAAAAaaa No idea what playlists of mine these songs belong on but they’re going on some playlists. Off the bat I was thinking “wow, solid 4, fantastic (great music but doesn’t make me go crazy go stupid like a 5). But then Last Goodbye made me go crazy go stupid and boom this album is a 5! And my opinion remained the same listening to the rest of the album. I need a Jeff Buckley T shirt. Buckley girl winter.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Dec 20 2024

I was originally thinking 2.5 (3) for the same reason as Sex Pistols bc it’s Sex Pistols in a grungier font. It’s noisy. However I think it deserves a 2. I’m not sure if it’s inherently worse than Sex Pistols. I’m trying to be fair here. If I wasn’t being fair I’d give it a one because I’m sick of noisy music. Sorry Stirling.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Dec 23 2024

I wish I could listen to some of the bangers that are overplayed for the first time again. I feel like that would really solidify the 5/5 status. Regardless, 5/5.

Rio by Duran Duran
Dec 24 2024

Yeah! Rio is solid. 4/5. Close to a 4.5 tho.

Dec 25 2024

I feel like I’m in a covered wagon but in 1968 and I like it. 4/5.

Dec 26 2024

All the classics. Love the wall of sound per usual. I approve of his musical influences but not other acts…. 5/5 (for a Christmas album) rated by both James and Emma

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Dec 27 2024

holy fuck talk about repetition within the songs. If I hear “WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SWEETS WILLIE” one more time in my life I will scream. Knowing nothing about the history of this album or artist, it feels like this lady was really good at making fun 30 second songs and then repeated the hell out of them to fit the benchmark for song length. RIP saint etienne, you would’ve loved TikTok music culture. (Just googled, they’re still alive, but keeping my comment bc it’s a meme format). My review is gonna end here bc I feel like the music isn’t bad it’s just too repetitive even for elevator music. Any further bashing would be too rude and only anger-based due to the repetition. Oh did I mention it’s too repetitive or am I repeating myself? SEE HOW IT FEELS This could’ve been a 3 or a 4 but it’s a 2/5 for me.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Dec 30 2024

This album made my hair bigger and my pants tighter. Never listened to the full album before. I like it.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Dec 31 2024

First and second song sounds like mazzy star’s happy cousin. Love. Third song makes me feel like I’m in a lizzie mcguire mama Mia mash up. Not sure if I’d listen to it again for fun but maybe to set a certain aesthetic or as background music I may listen to it. Started and ended strong but the middle was a little shaky for me. 3/5

Timeless by Goldie
Jan 01 2025

Vitas meets Grimes meets Meow Wolf Omega Mart ambient music. Certainly put me in a weird headspace while eating mixed nuts at 1 am. I know, I know this was groundbreaking... and probably somewhat inspired the aformentioned music (that I like a lot) but... 3/5. Would listen to again at 1 am, but probably not on purpose. It's another one of those albums where I feel like I heard the whole thing by the first song, then confirm that I have indeed heard the whole thing by the third song, and then listen to the rest of the album.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 02 2025

5/5. Love that gee-tar. This is the kind of album I am excited to discover — a band I’ve heard in passing but never sat down and listened to, then discovering I fucking love it?? I can’t believe I haven’t been listening to steely dan like this my entire life. Might call my mom up about this one.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 03 2025

Love Neil young, however this was a 4/5 for me. Didn’t make me go crazy go stupid like some of the CNSY stuff.

Sea Change by Beck
Jan 06 2025

I think it’s somewhere between a 3 and 4 for me. I didn’t know if I’d like it. I like the general vibe but it’s more backgroundy than I expected. Didn’t realize I had started the album over and I heard paper tiger again. It’s a 3.5 rounded up.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jan 07 2025

I like the other Steely Dan one slightly better but this is still a 5/5 for me.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jan 08 2025

To quote song 2, Day of the Lords, “when will it end”? Kinda wish they would’ve kept this album to themselves so I didn’t have to listen to people impersonating this singing style for the last 8 years. My hatred of this vocal style is personal and due to people attempting to give homage to Joy Division, so I will refrain on giving it a 1 for that. Giving a 2 because the background music is okay. However, if a restaurant played this I would probably walk out mid-bite.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Jan 09 2025

I think Snorkle hit the nail on the head yesterday when she said an album felt derivative because it had been derived from so much. 2/5 bc it was a yawn for me but there’s no telling how I would feel if I hadn’t heard everything inspired by this album first

Real Life by Magazine
Jan 10 2025

All of the songs on this album fits into one of two categories: 1) I think the demographic for this might be goth surfers 2)This just sounds like someone singing over the cocoto racing cart background music (2005 Wii game) You may think I’m forgetting about the song with the circus beat, but there was a circus race in cocoto

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jan 13 2025

This was a really long one so I hate to say it, but I’m eating it part way thru bc I know I will come back and listen later and I know my rating will remain the same. A little sharp on the ears at times but this was mixed in 1956 so I can’t be too picky there. Good Jazz. I like how they included the intros.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jan 14 2025

I don’t think I’ve heard most of these songs before but it still made me feel nostalgic. At the start it was a 4 but then slowly dropped.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 15 2025

Gives a very specific 70s smooth vampire vibe at the beginnings of the songs, the end of the songs feel like it would be good tattoo shop music. But like the kind of tattoo shop with lots of plants and gold accents.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jan 16 2025

I’d rather eat deep-fried drywall than listen to one more bland British dude try to create original music.

Suede by Suede
Jan 17 2025

Going to start putting a link to a better album I can’t believe didn’t make the list on the review of every stupid, randomly picked, infuriating British album on here. A Day Without Rain by Enya, 2000 (5 stars) https://open.spotify.com/album/2ioso1tqQ5zABQDVYyiUi5?si=BNSjbtnHTd2s4QIhUhkw8g You’re welcome.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jan 20 2025

Calm, warm. Reminds me of music I used to listen to when I was a kid and makes me think maybe I should get back to it. I’d say 4/5 due to a nice beat and a smooth voice.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jan 21 2025

Moody, but in a way I like. Really sat together as an album

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Jan 22 2025

I see how people like this but I sort of don’t and that’s okay too. 2.5 but rounded down to 2.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jan 24 2025

This didn’t do anything for me

My Generation by The Who
Jan 27 2025

Tbh I expected more like My Generation and The Kids are Alright. The shorter, more repetitive ones weren’t my jam. 3.5/5.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jan 28 2025

I like it!!! 4.5 rounded up

#1 Record by Big Star
Jan 29 2025

Good! But, didn’t make me go crazy go stupid

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jan 30 2025

I liked reading the lyrics as poetry but did not like listening to this as music. BUT it led me to his Damn album, which I liked.

Roots by Sepultura
Jan 31 2025

I usually don’t like this genre but I liked this!

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 03 2025

liked the acoustic stuff and of course heads will roll.

Feb 05 2025

While it’s not always for me, I always appreciate music made for vampires and ghouls

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 06 2025

The singer sounded like he was having a lot of fun :)

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Feb 11 2025

Like a warm croissant with butter on it

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Feb 12 2025

Debby from The Wild Thornberrys would listen to this.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 13 2025

It was so good, I want to give you a 10. But that’s not possible, so I give you a 5.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 14 2025

That intro really sounded like a remix of Vegas slot machines 3

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 17 2025

I think I would’ve really liked this in 2014. However, current me can’t dig this certain brand of mellow as much

Play by Moby
Feb 19 2025

Thumbs up

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Feb 21 2025

I have had "Between the Bars" on a playlist for a while. However, I don't pay attention to lyrics well and I thought it was about werewolves.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 24 2025

Lizard King 3.5

Mar 03 2025

I close my eyes... color and light swirls around me. I open my eyes and realize that was just a flashback to 2010. I close my eyes and I am 14 in an imax theatre in New York City. U2 is blasting. It is my freshman year band field trip. I am not allowed to leave to pee. I am here for 2 hours but it feels like a century. I come out aged, wise beyond my years for 7 minutes before the effect wears off. I did not appreciate the experience, but it's hard when you get blindsided with two hours of a full-sensory experience of Irish alternative rock in the middle of the afternoon. I exit the theater, back into the rock and roll hall of fame lobby. We go back down the escalators in pairs because a girl in my group is afraid of heights. I take one blurry photo of the corner of the lobby... This is going in The Facebook Album. I open my eyes. It is 2025. I am sitting at my desk. I am allowed to turn down the music. I can get up to pee without raising my hand. Life is good, but it was good then, too. 5/5 for the music and the experience. Thanks for forcing me to listen to this again. I can appreciate it now.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Mar 07 2025

Now, originally I was like “no”. Then I was like “actually this is good late night laundromat music”.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Mar 10 2025

Electronic 80s is so hard for me to rate... I think it was good

Kid A by Radiohead
Mar 11 2025

Hmm sounds like a funky little robot singing this. I hope he feels better soon... such a sad little robot. WALLE is that u? Don't make me cry again. I would listen to Treefingers while floating in a salt cave.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Mar 12 2025

I didn't like it, but I appreciate it's not the same old British punk as on the rest of this list. 2/5

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 13 2025

Stanky

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Mar 17 2025

I hope Kanye never reads this but I fucking love this album Taking off a point for the rambling tho

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 18 2025

I think it’s really really good, but not quite for me if that makes sense. Nonetheless, a 4

Mar 19 2025

I liked it more the more I listened. No strong feelings either way, but it does sound like maybe sparkmaster tape could’ve been influenced by this? And I really like his music. Forgive me if I’m wrong “Watch me as I go peepee” hehe

25 by Adele
Mar 20 2025

Objectively and subjectively incredible

White Ladder by David Gray
Mar 21 2025

This is the kind of music that when it comes on shuffle I immediately skip it, but if I’m not paying attention at the start I find myself not disliking it when it gets my attention attention half way thru the song Generic... but not bad? 2.5 -> 3

Metallica by Metallica
Mar 24 2025

I was rockin 4.5 -> 5

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 25 2025

La femme d'argent - 5 - Fantastic elevator music Sexy Boy - 1 - Awful everything else was a 3 or a 4 So the rating average = 3

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Mar 26 2025

Great Voice, but not quite the variation that I was expecting Just above a 4

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Mar 27 2025

This does absolutely nothing for me but I don't hate it. Wish we could give 2.5 for straight up middle of the road. Sounds like 8 other albums on this list.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 28 2025

Not great, but it shares some traits with songs from OhLand and Two Door Cinema club, which are both good. However, I'm here to rate THIS album. Which is a 2/5.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Apr 01 2025

Not quite a 5, but rounded up to a 5 - great variability, kept me interested - some bangers for sure - never really listened to her music bc I had a preexisting thought that it was boring but I’m glad I was wrong!

Apr 02 2025

Tried to objectively listen to this even though there has been 901 albums just like this on this list. I think I would be more inclined to appreciate British punk if there was less of it. I thought I reeeally liked the second song, until I looked at my phone and saw it had switched back to my queue of other artists. Anyways, I decided that on brit pop/punk/junk reviews I will be putting albums that could've made the list instead. Because there’s too many of this kind of album on the list. Today's pick was too recent to make the list, but is a good album. "Rituals On The Bank Of A Familiar River" by Kiki Rockwell.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Apr 03 2025

Ok so I like his voice a lot but something about the backing music doesn’t hit for me. BUT I think that’s a genre thing because I never enjoy the instrument portion of metal music as much as I think I should. I think it’s a balance thing, like it’s too sharp and high pitched compared to what I think of as more dad classic rock. Taking all that into account I give it a 4.5 rounded up to a 5.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Apr 04 2025

A lot of bangers in here. I also think the organization of tracks on the album was done really well. 4.5 rounded up

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Apr 07 2025

This made me join the Billy Joel hype train Choo-Choo

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Apr 08 2025

4.5 rounded up. I know I’m giving a lot of 5s, but this was well mixed chill music with a few bangers

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Apr 09 2025

This is haunted house music (like the kind that's put on for Halloween, not like the house I grew up in - shout out to my ghastly homies). Sick drums tho. Really like how it's not too much high pitched music backing, that's usually my issue with the really hard stuff. 4.5/5... for the genre tho... it gets really hard for me to rate when it's outside my genre.... but if I got in a truck and the driver was like "oh I'm gonna turn on some super hard rock do you want Korn or Slipknot?" I'd pick Slipknot. If they asked if I wanted Enya or Slipknot I'd pick Enya.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Apr 10 2025

Pervy in the way Beetlejuice is (Compliment)

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Apr 11 2025

cabaret about the Cold War vibes

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 15 2025

I always expect a lot more from Bowie than I get. Maybe that's on me and my expectations.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Apr 16 2025

Wow I really liked this more than I thought I would! The voice is mixed a lot softer than the instruments on this album. I liked that because I don't super love their vocal style. The instrumental portion is so clean. I always see how people like The Cure, but they're usually not my thing. Really glad this album was on here! I will most likely be listening to this album again during fall. It's cozy in a spooky way.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Apr 17 2025

I like the storytelling. He has a comforting voice. 3

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Apr 18 2025

It's that pretentious Indie guy in college who thinks he's too deep for anyone to understand.

Apr 24 2025

Not bad per say. Every track sounds like when you flip on to the 70's radio station, listen for a sec, and then go back to scanning the stations. Just kind of mid for me... I would listen again if I just wanted some chill background 70s music that I don't know the words to. 2.5

Dummy by Portishead
Apr 25 2025

It definitely scratches a specific itch in my brain Half way between a 3 and 4

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Apr 28 2025

ngl I thought this dude was just a Rocky Horror character

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 29 2025

I expected more with Gimme shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want being the bookends for this album. A 3.5 rounded up... But I will admit it would be rounded down if I wasn't a blues person.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Apr 30 2025

I was excited to listen to this one when I first saw Mariah Carey come up. Voice is great, song is mid. I say song because this album is one really long song.

Tommy by The Who
May 01 2025

Boring review alert! Ok so it's a little theatrical for me, but I feel like thats something I usually like. The music alone I would give a 2.5 rounded to a three. However, with having a story I give it a 3.5 rounded to a 4. I need to explain this for my future self because I think I'll come back and disagree.

Music by Madonna
May 02 2025

The mixing on this was so bad the first few songs physically caused pain.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
May 05 2025

I don’t think I’d notice if I never heard a song off this album again but also I wouldn’t be mad if it was playing somewherr

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 06 2025

I’m gonna need to retry this one later in life it’s not hitting rn

Smash by The Offspring
May 07 2025

incredible

Achtung Baby by U2
May 08 2025

I was going to go on a rant about how hating on particular artists for their vibe because it's trendy to do so is unoriginal but then I listened to the album

Machine Head by Deep Purple
May 12 2025

Really thought they would give us MORE. However, I can appreciate one of those albums that is classic rock for zoning out while driving. 3

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
May 14 2025

I'm picturing 2 dudes jumping around in circles finishing each other's sentences. Cute visual, but the album isn't for me.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
May 21 2025

Nice, but then it went on and on

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
May 23 2025

Kermit the frog in a barbershop quartet then merges into clown music? Bonus points for the weirdness but still not so much my thing

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
May 26 2025

I know I said I’m not taking off points for the artists being freaks (derogatory) because a lot of them are…. But if you have a song about giving a 16 year old your “explosion” and it’s so obvious that even I can’t listen to the song without immediately getting it, it makes your grossness bleed into the album. All those appropriate-aged fans and Pop and Bowie still chose children? Ew. Anyways the album was gonna be a 4 now it’s a 3. P3dos can rot tho.

Murmur by R.E.M.
May 27 2025

Blasé… and I say this while zooted. So that makes my 4 a 3.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 28 2025

Good, didn’t make me go stupid go crazy tho.

I Should Coco by Supergrass

Killer first 16 seconds

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

Rounded up

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Jun 05 2025

I think it could be a 4 on the right day but it’s a 3

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jun 06 2025

Kinda good, kinda whatever Wish I could give 2.5s so this 3 wouldn't be rated the same as all my 2.5s

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jun 09 2025

I want to float in an inner-tube on the warm vat of maple syrup that is Stevie Wonder's voice. Like in a daydream montage in an animated movie.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Jun 11 2025

Just because an album is meaningful doesn’t mean it’s good. Also, I don’t feel I needed to listen to this before I died. But also, the list creator didn’t think Enya was worth listening to apparently. So I guess what I’m saying is I don’t think the list writer had taste.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jun 12 2025

I can't and won't hate on it, I just don't like listening to it

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

I love Brian Wilson’s producing style and he does a lot of interesting things. However it’s a mid-3 from me, based on how much I liked listening to it. There are interesting components but it’s not interesting over all to just listen to. At risk of sounding pretentious, this would be a fun album to listen to someone who’s knowledgeable in music theory to dissect.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 16 2025

It wasn’t bad, I just didn’t like the style

Ramones by Ramones
Jun 17 2025

I think this is meant more for people who like to sniff glue

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Jun 18 2025

Joni always seems like she’d be my speed but she’s usually slightly too snoozy. This one’s quite snoozy

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jun 19 2025

This album really gave me empathy for my husband. I feel like this is what it’s like to try to have a conversation with me when I’m hyperfixated on something. I say the same shit, the conversation moves along, then I go back to the same shit over and over. I actually kinda liked it tho

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Jun 20 2025

Going to go listen to the Challengers (2024) soundtrack as a palette cleanser

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jun 23 2025

This sounds like something a family who like each other would listen to on RV trips growing up in the 70s

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 24 2025

The style of yelling in welcome to the machine made me want to shove my ears into a woodchipper machine. If not for that it would’ve been a 4.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jun 26 2025

Crazy they predicted that the queen would die

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jun 27 2025

I dropped a star for being not good AND too long. Pick a struggle.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 30 2025

There’s other Isley Brothers albums I like more but this doesn’t make this any less of a 5

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 01 2025

I imagine this is what people who don’t like Sarah Bareilles hear when they listen to Sarah Bareilles

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 02 2025

Nice

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jul 03 2025

I had dreams of this being a beautiful album, but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky. that I wished on over and over again- sparkling and broken. But I really didn’t mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is. When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I had been living- they asked me why. But there’s no use in talking to people who have a home, they have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people, for home to be wherever you lied you head. I was always an unusual girl, my mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing me due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner indecisiviness that was as wide as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying- because I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one- who belonged to everyone, who had nothing- who wanted everything with a fire for every experience and an obssesion for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about- and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me. Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people- and finally I did- on the open road. We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore- except to make our lives into a work of art. LIVE FAST. DIE YOUNG. BE WILD. AND HAVE FUN. I believe in the country America used to be. I belive in the person I want to become, I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever- “I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself- I Ride. I Just Ride.” Who are you? Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you’re free to experience them? I Have. I Am Fucking Crazy. But I Am Free.

Ryan: [Sees that You’ve Come a Long Way Baby by Fatboy Slim is on the 1001 albums to listen to before you die list] Maybe we're being Punk'd! Sharpay: What? Ryan: Maybe we're being filmed right now. Maybe we'll get to meet Ashton! Sharpay: Oh, shut up, Ryan!

Jul 09 2025

Certainly not good, but also I clocked several hours as a child singing "Take Me To The River" along with a mounted fake bass. That song is a banger.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jul 10 2025

These sick fucks sure know how to rock and roll

HATED almost the entire album, then severely fucked with AB/7A. So what I’m saying is get this album off the fucking list and replace it with the one below. Anyways, go listen to Stay Ugly EP by crim3z if u thought this was stoopid except AB/7A. It’s a 5 song album. Here’s the link to it on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/album/4SdrdBBRHRo1CL6u3vJrR7?si=uom9S52oTG6Ok3d2HcQKzA

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Jul 25 2025

Ok hear me out: You walk into the circus during off-hours and venture back into the place where the workers live. The strong man is on vocals, clowns on percussion, lion/elephant trainers on brass, acrobats on wind instruments. You’re not supposed to be here, this isn’t for you to hear. This is the personal project of the circus workers.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jul 28 2025

Beautiful

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jul 29 2025

The only thing stopping this from being a 5 is that it didn't make me go crazy go stupid. It is a very high 4 and the guitar is killer.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jul 30 2025

Banger after banger. NGL I had no idea this was from the 80's. It was one of the top played CDs in my Mom's car when I was little.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Jul 31 2025

Boring, but not in a bad way. Sort of like rotisserie chicken I suppose... not going to complain when someone serves it, but I don't find myself seeking it out. 4

Aug 07 2025

Autobahn - I know it's supposed to be cars... but it's trains Kometenmelodie 1 - I'm too simple to get it Kometenmelodie 2 - Optimistic Mitternacht - Christmas music for a tidepool cave-dweller Morgenspaziergang - A cute little alien is trying to communicate with me. I am listening... He is also dancing.

This album bit off my pinkie toe while my feet dangled off the edge of a pier.

It's kinda like when someone posts a series of three selfies on instagram that look almost identical. On the first one, nice! On the second two... I know they looked different to the poster, but I couldn't care less. Pick one and commit. Like this album... pick a few songs, we don't need this many of the same thing. Keep a few in the vault.

Revolver by Beatles

Used to sing a lot of these songs on the bus in middle school with my friend. We were super cool. Anyways, 10/10 would still keep this in the set list for a bus performance. My mom also sang a lot of these around the house when I was little I think that even if this album wasn't saturated with good memories for me, it would still be a 5 :) So happy this is on the list, because otherwise I don't think I would've listened to it in it's entirety anytime soon

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Aug 22 2025

It was cool to listen about sitar but like... this was half podcast half music... which then brings up the question of what qualifies for an album... which then also pisses me off because if we're including podcasts, the albums that are on the list should be amazing right? RIGHT? 3 because I am too simple to rate something that is as complex as both words and music

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 25 2025

Reggae isn't my thing but I don't mind it and I get why people like it. I just don't feel qualified to rate this.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Aug 26 2025

I listened to "The Very Best Of The Gershwin Song Book" sang by Ella Fitzgerald instead. I did not want to grow resentful of Ms Fitzgerald or the Gershwins. I am glad that they blessed earth with a 3h 14m album, but I don't think that's meant for us to listen to all in a row. Unless that's your jam.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Aug 27 2025

The album cover reminds me of this "demon" my sister and I encountered in the woods in Florida once. It was a paper mache mannequin of an elf set up in the woods by an elderly person, which was very cute in thought, and nice of them to set up for Christmas joy and stuff. ----- FULL STOP: I think it's a very sweet thought and the fact that someone put in the effort to do that really did bring me Christmas joy, and I appreciate that there are people out there who do cool stuff like that. I am not making fun of their work, I am impressed with their paper mache work and dedication to making others smile. ----- HOWEVER, it was peeking out from behind a tree FAR back in the woods and we found it at dusk. My sister drove off and left me there in the dark with the demon. I felt like Usain Bolt in that moment, I have never run so fast. We never found out where it went after the hurricane but god have mercy on the people who did. Shit posting aside, this album rocks. Previously, we have heard many albums that have a similar sound to this but are awful and feel like torture to listen to. This album led me to understand that I do enjoy this style, but those bands are doing a terrible job of it. There was enough variation in this album that I actually was ok with it being 2h27m. Really glad this was on here.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

Dear Diary, This album is a high three for sure. But then I ate a burrito bowl while listening and almost fell asleep in the middle of the work day. .

The Score by Fugees
Aug 29 2025

This sounds like something that would be playing in a small to mid-sized town tattoo shop. It was good, but not really for me. 3 point something rounded down to a 3.

I think the best thing to come out of this album is this pizza place I went to in Phoenix once. It was called Ziggy's but then you go through the cooler in the back and you're in a pinball bar called Stardust. Coincidentally, also the second best thing to come out of Phoenix, AZ. The first best thing is Stevie Nicks because her music is actually good.

Bee Movie Script According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Oan you believe this is happening? - I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That's me! - Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. - Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of... ...9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick ourjob today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what it'll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! - That girl was hot. - She's my cousin! - She is? - Yes, we're all cousins. - Right. You're right. - At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - You're gonna be a stirrer? - No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! I'm so proud. - We're starting work today! - Today's the day. Oome on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal... - Is it still available? - Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours! Oongratulations! Step to the side. - What'd you get? - Picking crud out. Stellar! Wow! Oouple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! Make your choice. - You want to go first? - No, you go. Oh, my. What's available? Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. - Any chance of getting the Krelman? - Sure, you're on. I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey's always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should... Barry? Barry! All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine... What happened to you? Where are you? - I'm going out. - Out? Out where? - Out there. - Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. - Look at that. - Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you? Sign here, here. Just initial that. - Thank you. - OK. You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! - That's awful. - And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow! Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind, check. - Antennae, check. - Nectar pack, check. - Wings, check. - Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let's move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! I'm out! I can't believe I'm out! So blue. I feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader. We have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. Stand to the side, kid. It's got a bit of a kick. That is one nectar collector! - Ever see pollination up close? - No, sir. I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there, a pinch on that one. See that? It's a little bit of magic. That's amazing. Why do we do that? That's pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. Oool. I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow. Oould be daisies. Don't we need those? Oopy that visual. Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move. Say again? You're reporting a moving flower? Affirmative. That was on the line! This is the coolest. What is it? I don't know, but I'm loving this color. It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it. Yeah, fuzzy. Ohemical-y. Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby. My sweet lord of bees! Oandy-brain, get off there! Problem! - Guys! - This could be bad. Affirmative. Very close. Gonna hurt. Mama's little boy. You are way out of position, rookie! Ooming in at you like a missile! Help me! I don't think these are flowers. - Should we tell him? - I think he knows. What is this?! Match point! You can start packing up, honey, because you're about to eat it! Yowser! Gross. There's a bee in the car! - Do something! - I'm driving! - Hi, bee. - He's back here! He's going to sting me! Nobody move. If you don't move, he won't sting you. Freeze! He blinked! Spray him, Granny! What are you doing?! Wow... the tension level out here is unbelievable. I gotta get home. Oan't fly in rain. Oan't fly in rain. Oan't fly in rain. Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! Ken, could you close the window please? Ken, could you close the window please? Oheck out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure. You see? Folds out. Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this. What was that? Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This... Drapes! That is diabolical. It's fantastic. It's got all my special skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. What's number one? Star Wars? Nah, I don't go for that... ...kind of stuff. No wonder we shouldn't talk to them. They're out of their minds. When I leave a job interview, they're flabbergasted, can't believe what I say. There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out. I don't remember the sun having a big 75 on it. I predicted global warming. I could feel it getting hotter. At first I thought it was just me. Wait! Stop! Bee! Stand back. These are winter boots. Wait! Don't kill him! You know I'm allergic to them! This thing could kill me! Why does his life have less value than yours? Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your statement? I'm just saying all life has value. You don't know what he's capable of feeling. My brochure! There you go, little guy. I'm not scared of him. It's an allergic thing. Put that on your resume brochure. My whole face could puff up. Make it one of your special skills. Knocking someone out is also a special skill. Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks. - Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night? - Sure, Ken. You know, whatever. - You could put carob chips on there. - Bye. - Supposed to be less calories. - Bye. I gotta say something. She saved my life. I gotta say something. All right, here it goes. Nah. What would I say? I could really get in trouble. It's a bee law. You're not supposed to talk to a human. I can't believe I'm doing this. I've got to. Oh, I can't do it. Oome on! No. Yes. No. Do it. I can't. How should I start it? "You like jazz?" No, that's no good. Here she comes! Speak, you fool! Hi! I'm sorry. - You're talking. - Yes, I know. You're talking! I'm so sorry. No, it's OK. It's fine. I know I'm dreaming. But I don't recall going to bed. Well, I'm sure this is very disconcerting. This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you're a bee! I am. And I'm not supposed to be doing this, but they were all trying to kill me. And if it wasn't for you... I had to thank you. It's just how I was raised. That was a little weird. - I'm talking with a bee. - Yeah. I'm talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me! I just want to say I'm grateful. I'll leave now. - Wait! How did you learn to do that? - What? The talking thing. Same way you did, I guess. "Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up. - That's very funny. - Yeah. Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry with what we have to deal with. Anyway... Oan I... ...get you something? - Like what? I don't know. I mean... I don't know. Ooffee? I don't want to put you out. It's no trouble. It takes two minutes. - It's just coffee. - I hate to impose. - Don't be ridiculous! - Actually, I would love a cup. Hey, you want rum cake? - I shouldn't. - Have some. - No, I can't. - Oome on! I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms. - Where? - These stripes don't help. You look great! I don't know if you know anything about fashion. Are you all right? No. He's making the tie in the cab as they're flying up Madison. He finally gets there. He runs up the steps into the church. The wedding is on. And he says, "Watermelon? I thought you said Guatemalan. Why would I marry a watermelon?" Is that a bee joke? That's the kind of stuff we do. Yeah, different. So, what are you gonna do, Barry? About work? I don't know. I want to do my part for the hive, but I can't do it the way they want. I know how you feel. - You do? - Sure. My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist. - Really? - My only interest is flowers. Our new queen was just elected with that same campaign slogan. Anyway, if you look... There's my hive right there. See it? You're in Sheep Meadow! Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond! No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once. - Why do girls put rings on their toes? - Why not? - It's like putting a hat on your knee. - Maybe I'll try that. - You all right, ma'am? - Oh, yeah. Fine. Just having two cups of coffee! Anyway, this has been great. Thanks for the coffee. Yeah, it's no trouble. Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did, I'd be up the rest of my life. Are you...? Oan I take a piece of this with me? Sure! Here, have a crumb. - Thanks! - Yeah. All right. Well, then... I guess I'll see you around. Or not. OK, Barry. And thank you so much again... for before. Oh, that? That was nothing. Well, not nothing, but... Anyway... This can't possibly work. He's all set to go. We may as well try it. OK, Dave, pull the chute. - Sounds amazing. - It was amazing! It was the scariest, happiest moment of my life. Humans! I can't believe you were with humans! Giant, scary humans! What were they like? Huge and crazy. They talk crazy. They eat crazy giant things. They drive crazy. - Do they try and kill you, like on TV? - Some of them. But some of them don't. - How'd you get back? - Poodle. You did it, and I'm glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see. You had your "experience." Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal. - Well... - Well? Well, I met someone. You did? Was she Bee-ish? - A wasp?! Your parents will kill you! - No, no, no, not a wasp. - Spider? - I'm not attracted to spiders. I know it's the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all. I can't get by that face. So who is she? She's... human. No, no. That's a bee law. You wouldn't break a bee law. - Her name's Vanessa. - Oh, boy. She's so nice. And she's a florist! Oh, no! You're dating a human florist! We're not dating. You're flying outside the hive, talking to humans that attack our homes with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite! She saved my life! And she understands me. This is over! Eat this. This is not over! What was that? - They call it a crumb. - It was so stingin' stripey! And that's not what they eat. That's what falls off what they eat! - You know what a Oinnabon is? - No. It's bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up... Sit down! ...really hot! - Listen to me! We are not them! We're us. There's us and there's them! Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning? There's no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me! You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee! - Thinking bee. - Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! There he is. He's in the pool. You know what your problem is, Barry? I gotta start thinking bee? How much longer will this go on? It's been three days! Why aren't you working? I've got a lot of big life decisions to think about. What life? You have no life! You have no job. You're barely a bee! Would it kill you to make a little honey? Barry, come out. Your father's talking to you. Martin, would you talk to him? Barry, I'm talking to you! You coming? Got everything? All set! Go ahead. I'll catch up. Don't be too long. Watch this! Vanessa! - We're still here. - I told you not to yell at him. He doesn't respond to yelling! - Then why yell at me? - Because you don't listen! I'm not listening to this. Sorry, I've gotta go. - Where are you going? - I'm meeting a friend. A girl? Is this why you can't decide? Bye. I just hope she's Bee-ish. They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena? To be in the Tournament of Roses, that's every florist's dream! Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering. A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events? No. All right, I've got one. How come you don't fly everywhere? It's exhausting. Why don't you run everywhere? It's faster. Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn. TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? That's insane! You don't have that? We have Hivo, but it's a disease. It's a horrible, horrible disease. Oh, my. Dumb bees! You must want to sting all those jerks. We try not to sting. It's usually fatal for us. So you have to watch your temper. Very carefully. You kick a wall, take a walk, write an angry letter and throw it out. Work through it like any emotion: Anger, jealousy, lust. Oh, my goodness! Are you OK? Yeah. - What is wrong with you?! - It's a bug. He's not bothering anybody. Get out of here, you creep! What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular? Yeah, it was. How did you know? It felt like about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit. You've really got that down to a science. - I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue. - I'll bet. What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this? How did this get here? Oute Bee, Golden Blossom, Ray Liotta Private Select? - Is he that actor? - I never heard of him. - Why is this here? - For people. We eat it. You don't have enough food of your own? - Well, yes. - How do you get it? - Bees make it. - I know who makes it! And it's hard to make it! There's heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing! - It's organic. - It's our-ganic! It's just honey, Barry. Just what?! Bees don't know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing! You've taken our homes, schools, hospitals! This is all we have! And it's on sale?! I'm getting to the bottom of this. I'm getting to the bottom of all of this! Hey, Hector. - You almost done? - Almost. He is here. I sense it. Well, I guess I'll go home now and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around. You're busted, box boy! I knew I heard something. So you can talk! I can talk. And now you'll start talking! Where you getting the sweet stuff? Who's your supplier? I don't understand. I thought we were friends. The last thing we want to do is upset bees! You're too late! It's ours now! You, sir, have crossed the wrong sword! You, sir, will be lunch for my iguana, Ignacio! Where is the honey coming from? Tell me where! Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms! Orazy person! What horrible thing has happened here? These faces, they never knew what hit them. And now they're on the road to nowhere! Just keep still. What? You're not dead? Do I look dead? They will wipe anything that moves. Where you headed? To Honey Farms. I am onto something huge here. I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood, crazy stuff. Blows your head off! I'm going to Tacoma. - And you? - He really is dead. All right. Uh-oh! - What is that?! - Oh, no! - A wiper! Triple blade! - Triple blade? Jump on! It's your only chance, bee! Why does everything have to be so doggone clean?! How much do you people need to see?! Open your eyes! Stick your head out the window! From NPR News in Washington, I'm Oarl Kasell. But don't kill no more bugs! - Bee! - Moose blood guy!! - You hear something? - Like what? Like tiny screaming. Turn off the radio. Whassup, bee boy? Hey, Blood. Just a row of honey jars, as far as the eye could see. Wow! I assume wherever this truck goes is where they're getting it. I mean, that honey's ours. - Bees hang tight. - We're all jammed in. It's a close community. Not us, man. We on our own. Every mosquito on his own. - What if you get in trouble? - You a mosquito, you in trouble. Nobody likes us. They just smack. See a mosquito, smack, smack! At least you're out in the world. You must meet girls. Mosquito girls try to trade up, get with a moth, dragonfly. Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito. You got to be kidding me! Mooseblood's about to leave the building! So long, bee! - Hey, guys! - Mooseblood! I knew I'd catch y'all down here. Did you bring your crazy straw? We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, and it's pretty much pure profit. What is this place? A bee's got a brain the size of a pinhead. They are pinheads! Pinhead. - Oheck out the new smoker. - Oh, sweet. That's the one you want. The Thomas 3000! Smoker? Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic. Twice the nicotine, all the tar. A couple breaths of this knocks them right out. They make the honey, and we make the money. "They make the honey, and we make the money"? Oh, my! What's going on? Are you OK? Yeah. It doesn't last too long. Do you know you're in a fake hive with fake walls? Our queen was moved here. We had no choice. This is your queen? That's a man in women's clothes! That's a drag queen! What is this? Oh, no! There's hundreds of them! Bee honey. Our honey is being brazenly stolen on a massive scale! This is worse than anything bears have done! I intend to do something. Oh, Barry, stop. Who told you humans are taking our honey? That's a rumor. Do these look like rumors? That's a conspiracy theory. These are obviously doctored photos. How did you get mixed up in this? He's been talking to humans. - What? - Talking to humans?! He has a human girlfriend. And they make out! Make out? Barry! We do not. - You wish you could. - Whose side are you on? The bees! I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Those crazy legs kept me up all night. Barry, this is what you want to do with your life? I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder than bees! Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked your hands were still stirring. You couldn't stop. I remember that. What right do they have to our honey? We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm for no reason whatsoever! Even if it's true, what can one bee do? Sting them where it really hurts. In the face! The eye! - That would hurt. - No. Up the nose? That's a killer. There's only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters. Hive at Five, the hive's only full-hour action news source. No more bee beards! With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk. Weather with Storm Stinger. Sports with Buzz Larvi. And Jeanette Ohung. - Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble. - And I'm Jeanette Ohung. A tri-county bee, Barry Benson, intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey, packaging it and profiting from it illegally! Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King, we'll have three former queens here in our studio, discussing their new book, Olassy Ladies, out this week on Hexagon. Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson. Did you ever think, "I'm a kid from the hive. I can't do this"? Bees have never been afraid to change the world. What about Bee Oolumbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus? Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans. We were thinking of stickball or candy stores. How old are you? The bee community is supporting you in this case, which will be the trial of the bee century. You know, they have a Larry King in the human world too. It's a common name. Next week... He looks like you and has a show and suspenders and colored dots... Next week... Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the guest even though you just heard 'em. Bear Week next week! They're scary, hairy and here live. Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish. In tennis, you attack at the point of weakness! It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81. Honey, her backhand's a joke! I'm not gonna take advantage of that? Quiet, please. Actual work going on here. - Is that that same bee? - Yes, it is! I'm helping him sue the human race. - Hello. - Hello, bee. This is Ken. Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe. Why does he talk again? Listen, you better go 'cause we're really busy working. But it's our yogurt night! Bye-bye. Why is yogurt night so difficult?! You poor thing. You two have been at this for hours! Yes, and Adam here has been a huge help. - Frosting... - How many sugars? Just one. I try not to use the competition. So why are you helping me? Bees have good qualities. And it takes my mind off the shop. Instead of flowers, people are giving balloon bouquets now. Those are great, if you're three. And artificial flowers. - Oh, those just get me psychotic! - Yeah, me too. Bent stingers, pointless pollination. Bees must hate those fake things! Nothing worse than a daffodil that's had work done. Maybe this could make up for it a little bit. - This lawsuit's a pretty big deal. - I guess. You sure you want to go through with it? Am I sure? When I'm done with the humans, they won't be able to say, "Honey, I'm home," without paying a royalty! It's an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan, where the world anxiously waits, because for the first time in history, we will hear for ourselves if a honeybee can actually speak. What have we gotten into here, Barry? It's pretty big, isn't it? I can't believe how many humans don't work during the day. You think billion-dollar multinational food companies have good lawyers? Everybody needs to stay behind the barricade. - What's the matter? - I don't know, I just got a chill. Well, if it isn't the bee team. You boys work on this? All rise! The Honorable Judge Bumbleton presiding. All right. Oase number 4475, Superior Oourt of New York, Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry is now in session. Mr. Montgomery, you're representing the five food companies collectively? A privilege. Mr. Benson... you're representing all the bees of the world? I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor, we're ready to proceed. Mr. Montgomery, your opening statement, please. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my grandmother was a simple woman. Born on a farm, she believed it was man's divine right to benefit from the bounty of nature God put before us. If we lived in the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson imagines, just think of what would it mean. I would have to negotiate with the silkworm for the elastic in my britches! Talking bee! How do we know this isn't some sort of holographic motion-picture-capture Hollywood wizardry? They could be using laser beams! Robotics! Ventriloquism! Oloning! For all we know, he could be on steroids! Mr. Benson? Ladies and gentlemen, there's no trickery here. I'm just an ordinary bee. Honey's pretty important to me. It's important to all bees. We invented it! We make it. And we protect it with our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they can take it from us 'cause we're the little guys! I'm hoping that, after this is all over, you'll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we have but everything we are! I wish he'd dress like that all the time. So nice! Oall your first witness. So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms, big company you have. I suppose so. I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron! Yes, they provide beekeepers for our farms. Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term. I don't imagine you employ any bee-free-ers, do you? - No. - I couldn't hear you. - No. - No. Because you don't free bees. You keep bees. Not only that, it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey. They're very lovable creatures. Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear. You mean like this? Bears kill bees! How'd you like his head crashing through your living room?! Biting into your couch! Spitting out your throw pillows! OK, that's enough. Take him away. So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here. Your name intrigues me. - Where have I heard it before? - I was with a band called The Police. But you've never been a police officer, have you? No, I haven't. No, you haven't. And so here we have yet another example of bee culture casually stolen by a human for nothing more than a prance-about stage name. Oh, please. Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I'm feeling a little stung, Sting. Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner! That's not his real name?! You idiots! Mr. Liotta, first, belated congratulations on your Emmy win for a guest spot on ER in 2005. Thank you. Thank you. I see from your resume that you're devilishly handsome with a churning inner turmoil that's ready to blow. I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime? Not yet it isn't. But is this what it's come to for you? Exploiting tiny, helpless bees so you don't have to rehearse your part and learn your lines, sir? Watch it, Benson! I could blow right now! This isn't a goodfella. This is a badfella! Why doesn't someone just step on this creep, and we can all go home?! - Order in this court! - You're all thinking it! Order! Order, I say! - Say it! - Mr. Liotta, please sit down! I think it was awfully nice of that bear to pitch in like that. I think the jury's on our side. Are we doing everything right, legally? I'm a florist. Right. Well, here's to a great team. To a great team! Well, hello. - Ken! - Hello. I didn't think you were coming. No, I was just late. I tried to call, but... the battery. I didn't want all this to go to waste, so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free. Oh, that was lucky. There's a little left. I could heat it up. Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever. So I hear you're quite a tennis player. I'm not much for the game myself. The ball's a little grabby. That's where I usually sit. Right... there. Ken, Barry was looking at your resume, and he agreed with me that eating with chopsticks isn't really a special skill. You think I don't see what you're doing? I know how hard it is to find the rightjob. We have that in common. Do we? Bees have 100 percent employment, but we do jobs like taking the crud out. That's just what I was thinking about doing. Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor for his fuzz. I hope that was all right. I'm going to drain the old stinger. Yeah, you do that. Look at that. You know, I've just about had it with your little mind games. - What's that? - Italian Vogue. Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages. A lot of ads. Remember what Van said, why is your life more valuable than mine? Funny, I just can't seem to recall that! I think something stinks in here! I love the smell of flowers. How do you like the smell of flames?! Not as much. Water bug! Not taking sides! Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat! This is pathetic! I've got issues! Well, well, well, a royal flush! - You're bluffing. - Am I? Surf's up, dude! Poo water! That bowl is gnarly. Except for those dirty yellow rings! Kenneth! What are you doing?! You know, I don't even like honey! I don't eat it! We need to talk! He's just a little bee! And he happens to be the nicest bee I've met in a long time! Long time? What are you talking about?! Are there other bugs in your life? No, but there are other things bugging me in life. And you're one of them! Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night... My nerves are fried from riding on this emotional roller coaster! Goodbye, Ken. And for your information, I prefer sugar-free, artificial sweeteners made by man! I'm sorry about all that. I know it's got an aftertaste! I like it! I always felt there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me. I couldn't overcome it. Oh, well. Are you OK for the trial? I believe Mr. Montgomery is about out of ideas. We would like to call Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand. Good idea! You can really see why he's considered one of the best lawyers... Yeah. Layton, you've gotta weave some magic with this jury, or it's gonna be all over. Don't worry. The only thing I have to do to turn this jury around is to remind them of what they don't like about bees. - You got the tweezers? - Are you allergic? Only to losing, son. Only to losing. Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you what I think we'd all like to know. What exactly is your relationship to that woman? We're friends. - Good friends? - Yes. How good? Do you live together? Wait a minute... Are you her little... ...bedbug? I've seen a bee documentary or two. From what I understand, doesn't your queen give birth to all the bee children? - Yeah, but... - So those aren't your real parents! - Oh, Barry... - Yes, they are! Hold me back! You're an illegitimate bee, aren't you, Benson? He's denouncing bees! Don't y'all date your cousins? - Objection! - I'm going to pincushion this guy! Adam, don't! It's what he wants! Oh, I'm hit!! Oh, lordy, I am hit! Order! Order! The venom! The venom is coursing through my veins! I have been felled by a winged beast of destruction! You see? You can't treat them like equals! They're striped savages! Stinging's the only thing they know! It's their way! - Adam, stay with me. - I can't feel my legs. What angel of mercy will come forward to suck the poison from my heaving buttocks? I will have order in this court. Order! Order, please! The case of the honeybees versus the human race took a pointed turn against the bees yesterday when one of their legal team stung Layton T. Montgomery. - Hey, buddy. - Hey. - Is there much pain? - Yeah. I... I blew the whole case, didn't I? It doesn't matter. What matters is you're alive. You could have died. I'd be better off dead. Look at me. They got it from the cafeteria downstairs, in a tuna sandwich. Look, there's a little celery still on it. What was it like to sting someone? I can't explain it. It was all... All adrenaline and then... and then ecstasy! All right. You think it was all a trap? Of course. I'm sorry. I flew us right into this. What were we thinking? Look at us. We're just a couple of bugs in this world. What will the humans do to us if they win? I don't know. I hear they put the roaches in motels. That doesn't sound so bad. Adam, they check in, but they don't check out! Oh, my. Oould you get a nurse to close that window? - Why? - The smoke. Bees don't smoke. Right. Bees don't smoke. Bees don't smoke! But some bees are smoking. That's it! That's our case! It is? It's not over? Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere. Get back to the court and stall. Stall any way you can. And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub. Mr. Flayman. Yes? Yes, Your Honor! Where is the rest of your team? Well, Your Honor, it's interesting. Bees are trained to fly haphazardly, and as a result, we don't make very good time. I actually heard a funny story about... Your Honor, haven't these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this court's valuable time? How much longer will we allow these absurd shenanigans to go on? They have presented no compelling evidence to support their charges against my clients, who run legitimate businesses. I move for a complete dismissal of this entire case! Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going to have to consider Mr. Montgomery's motion. But you can't! We have a terrific case. Where is your proof? Where is the evidence? Show me the smoking gun! Hold it, Your Honor! You want a smoking gun? Here is your smoking gun. What is that? It's a bee smoker! What, this? This harmless little contraption? This couldn't hurt a fly, let alone a bee. Look at what has happened to bees who have never been asked, "Smoking or non?" Is this what nature intended for us? To be forcibly addicted to smoke machines and man-made wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives as honey slaves to the white man? - What are we gonna do? - He's playing the species card. Ladies and gentlemen, please, free these bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! The court finds in favor of the bees! Vanessa, we won! I knew you could do it! High-five! Sorry. I'm OK! You know what this means? All the honey will finally belong to the bees. Now we won't have to work so hard all the time. This is an unholy perversion of the balance of nature, Benson. You'll regret this. Barry, how much honey is out there? All right. One at a time. Barry, who are you wearing? My sweater is Ralph Lauren, and I have no pants. - What if Montgomery's right? - What do you mean? We've been living the bee way a long time, 27 million years. Oongratulations on your victory. What will you demand as a settlement? First, we'll demand a complete shutdown of all bee work camps. Then we want back the honey that was ours to begin with, every last drop. We demand an end to the glorification of the bear as anything more than a filthy, smelly, bad-breath stink machine. We're all aware of what they do in the woods. Wait for my signal. Take him out. He'll have nauseous for a few hours, then he'll be fine. And we will no longer tolerate bee-negative nicknames... But it's just a prance-about stage name! ...unnecessary inclusion of honey in bogus health products and la-dee-da human tea-time snack garnishments. Oan't breathe. Bring it in, boys! Hold it right there! Good. Tap it. Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups, and there's gallons more coming! - I think we need to shut down! - Shut down? We've never shut down. Shut down honey production! Stop making honey! Turn your key, sir! What do we do now? Oannonball! We're shutting honey production! Mission abort. Aborting pollination and nectar detail. Returning to base. Adam, you wouldn't believe how much honey was out there. Oh, yeah? What's going on? Where is everybody? - Are they out celebrating? - They're home. They don't know what to do. Laying out, sleeping in. I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way to San Antonio with a cricket. At least we got our honey back. Sometimes I think, so what if humans liked our honey? Who wouldn't? It's the greatest thing in the world! I was excited to be part of making it. This was my new desk. This was my new job. I wanted to do it really well. And now... Now I can't. I don't understand why they're not happy. I thought their lives would be better! They're doing nothing. It's amazing. Honey really changes people. You don't have any idea what's going on, do you? - What did you want to show me? - This. What happened here? That is not the half of it. Oh, no. Oh, my. They're all wilting. Doesn't look very good, does it? No. And whose fault do you think that is? You know, I'm gonna guess bees. Bees? Specifically, me. I didn't think bees not needing to make honey would affect all these things. It's notjust flowers. Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees. That's our whole SAT test right there. Take away produce, that affects the entire animal kingdom. And then, of course... The human species? So if there's no more pollination, it could all just go south here, couldn't it? I know this is also partly my fault. How about a suicide pact? How do we do it? - I'll sting you, you step on me. - Thatjust kills you twice. Right, right. Listen, Barry... sorry, but I gotta get going. I had to open my mouth and talk. Vanessa? Vanessa? Why are you leaving? Where are you going? To the final Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena. They've moved it to this weekend because all the flowers are dying. It's the last chance I'll ever have to see it. Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry. I never meant it to turn out like this. I know. Me neither. Tournament of Roses. Roses can't do sports. Wait a minute. Roses. Roses? Roses! Vanessa! Roses?! Barry? - Roses are flowers! - Yes, they are. Flowers, bees, pollen! I know. That's why this is the last parade. Maybe not. Oould you ask him to slow down? Oould you slow down? Barry! OK, I made a huge mistake. This is a total disaster, all my fault. Yes, it kind of is. I've ruined the planet. I wanted to help you with the flower shop. I've made it worse. Actually, it's completely closed down. I thought maybe you were remodeling. But I have another idea, and it's greater than my previous ideas combined. I don't want to hear it! All right, they have the roses, the roses have the pollen. I know every bee, plant and flower bud in this park. All we gotta do is get what they've got back here with what we've got. - Bees. - Park. - Pollen! - Flowers. - Repollination! - Across the nation! Tournament of Roses, Pasadena, Oalifornia. They've got nothing but flowers, floats and cotton candy. Security will be tight. I have an idea. Vanessa Bloome, FTD. Official floral business. It's real. Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch. Thank you. It was a gift. Once inside, we just pick the right float. How about The Princess and the Pea? I could be the princess, and you could be the pea! Yes, I got it. - Where should I sit? - What are you? - I believe I'm the pea. - The pea? It goes under the mattresses. - Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart. - I'm getting the marshal. You do that! This whole parade is a fiasco! Let's see what this baby'll do. Hey, what are you doing?! Then all we do is blend in with traffic... ...without arousing suspicion. Once at the airport, there's no stopping us. Stop! Security. - You and your insect pack your float? - Yes. Has it been in your possession the entire time? Would you remove your shoes? - Remove your stinger. - It's part of me. I know. Just having some fun. Enjoy your flight. Then if we're lucky, we'll have just enough pollen to do the job. Oan you believe how lucky we are? We have just enough pollen to do the job! I think this is gonna work. It's got to work. Attention, passengers, this is Oaptain Scott. We have a bit of bad weather in New York. It looks like we'll experience a couple hours delay. Barry, these are cut flowers with no water. They'll never make it. I gotta get up there and talk to them. Be careful. Oan I get help with the Sky Mall magazine? I'd like to order the talking inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer. Oaptain, I'm in a real situation. - What'd you say, Hal? - Nothing. Bee! Don't freak out! My entire species... What are you doing? - Wait a minute! I'm an attorney! - Who's an attorney? Don't move. Oh, Barry. Good afternoon, passengers. This is your captain. Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B please report to the cockpit? And please hurry! What happened here? There was a DustBuster, a toupee, a life raft exploded. One's bald, one's in a boat, they're both unconscious! - Is that another bee joke? - No! No one's flying the plane! This is JFK control tower, Flight 356. What's your status? This is Vanessa Bloome. I'm a florist from New York. Where's the pilot? He's unconscious, and so is the copilot. Not good. Does anyone onboard have flight experience? As a matter of fact, there is. - Who's that? - Barry Benson. From the honey trial?! Oh, great. Vanessa, this is nothing more than a big metal bee. It's got giant wings, huge engines. I can't fly a plane. - Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot? - Yes. How hard could it be? Wait, Barry! We're headed into some lightning. This is Bob Bumble. We have some late-breaking news from JFK Airport, where a suspenseful scene is developing. Barry Benson, fresh from his legal victory... That's Barry! ...is attempting to land a plane, loaded with people, flowers and an incapacitated flight crew. Flowers?! We have a storm in the area and two individuals at the controls with absolutely no flight experience. Just a minute. There's a bee on that plane. I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson and his no-account compadres. They've done enough damage. But isn't he your only hope? Technically, a bee shouldn't be able to fly at all. Their wings are too small... Haven't we heard this a million times? "The surface area of the wings and body mass make no sense." - Get this on the air! - Got it. - Stand by. - We're going live. The way we work may be a mystery to you. Making honey takes a lot of bees doing a lot of small jobs. But let me tell you about a small job. If you do it well, it makes a big difference. More than we realized. To us, to everyone. That's why I want to get bees back to working together. That's the bee way! We're not made of Jell-O. We get behind a fellow. - Black and yellow! - Hello! Left, right, down, hover. - Hover? - Forget hover. This isn't so hard. Beep-beep! Beep-beep! Barry, what happened?! Wait, I think we were on autopilot the whole time. - That may have been helping me. - And now we're not! So it turns out I cannot fly a plane. All of you, let's get behind this fellow! Move it out! Move out! Our only chance is if I do what I'd do, you copy me with the wings of the plane! Don't have to yell. I'm not yelling! We're in a lot of trouble. It's very hard to concentrate with that panicky tone in your voice! It's not a tone. I'm panicking! I can't do this! Vanessa, pull yourself together. You have to snap out of it! You snap out of it. You snap out of it. - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - Hold it! - Why? Oome on, it's my turn. How is the plane flying? I don't know. Hello? Benson, got any flowers for a happy occasion in there? The Pollen Jocks! They do get behind a fellow. - Black and yellow. - Hello. All right, let's drop this tin can on the blacktop. Where? I can't see anything. Oan you? No, nothing. It's all cloudy. Oome on. You got to think bee, Barry. - Thinking bee. - Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Wait a minute. I think I'm feeling something. - What? - I don't know. It's strong, pulling me. Like a 27-million-year-old instinct. Bring the nose down. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! - What in the world is on the tarmac? - Get some lights on that! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! - Vanessa, aim for the flower. - OK. Out the engines. We're going in on bee power. Ready, boys? Affirmative! Good. Good. Easy, now. That's it. Land on that flower! Ready? Full reverse! Spin it around! - Not that flower! The other one! - Which one? - That flower. - I'm aiming at the flower! That's a fat guy in a flowered shirt. I mean the giant pulsating flower made of millions of bees! Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up. Rotate around it. - This is insane, Barry! - This's the only way I know how to fly. Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane flying in an insect-like pattern? Get your nose in there. Don't be afraid. Smell it. Full reverse! Just drop it. Be a part of it. Aim for the center! Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman! Oome on, already. Barry, we did it! You taught me how to fly! - Yes. No high-five! - Right. Barry, it worked! Did you see the giant flower? What giant flower? Where? Of course I saw the flower! That was genius! - Thank you. - But we're not done yet. Listen, everyone! This runway is covered with the last pollen from the last flowers available anywhere on Earth. That means this is our last chance. We're the only ones who make honey, pollinate flowers and dress like this. If we're gonna survive as a species, this is our moment! What do you say? Are we going to be bees, orjust Museum of Natural History keychains? We're bees! Keychain! Then follow me! Except Keychain. Hold on, Barry. Here. You've earned this. Yeah! I'm a Pollen Jock! And it's a perfect fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves. Oh, yeah. That's our Barry. Mom! The bees are back! If anybody needs to make a call, now's the time. I got a feeling we'll be working late tonight! Here's your change. Have a great afternoon! Oan I help who's next? Would you like some honey with that? It is bee-approved. Don't forget these. Milk, cream, cheese, it's all me. And I don't see a nickel! Sometimes I just feel like a piece of meat! I had no idea. Barry, I'm sorry. Have you got a moment? Would you excuse me? My mosquito associate will help you. Sorry I'm late. He's a lawyer too? I was already a blood-sucking parasite. All I needed was a briefcase. Have a great afternoon! Barry, I just got this huge tulip order, and I can't get them anywhere. No problem, Vannie. Just leave it to me. You're a lifesaver, Barry. Oan I help who's next? All right, scramble, jocks! It's time to fly. Thank you, Barry! That bee is living my life! Let it go, Kenny. - When will this nightmare end?! - Let it all go. - Beautiful day to fly. - Sure is. Between you and me, I was dying to get out of that office. You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. - Thinking bee! - Me? Hold it. Let's just stop for a second. Hold it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone. Oan we stop here? I'm not making a major life decision during a production number! All right. Take ten, everybody. Wrap it up, guys. I had virtually no rehearsal for that. Special thanks to SergeiK.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Oct 10 2025

I can’t focus on this long enough to form a solid opinion…. It’s not bad? I don’t feel like I hate it?

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

Sing a Simple Song had me jammin'

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Oct 14 2025

usually my thing, but fell a little flat. Dusty is right...

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Oct 16 2025

Throwing muses more like throwing up because puking

Oct 17 2025

I hate punk so much I can't get to the important parts. Objectively is it a 1? Probably not. However, this is a subjective assessment. 1

Illmatic by Nas
Oct 20 2025

I liked the beats

C'est Chic by CHIC
Oct 21 2025

bring me my maribou boa -- STAT!

Closer by Joy Division
Oct 22 2025

People on this one lying about how they like unknown pleasures better… like that album isn’t a dumpster fire too. Come on, hate it with your chest now lmfao

Dry by PJ Harvey
Oct 24 2025

Not my usual jam but I feel like I could smoke a cigarette to this (I have never smoked a cigarette in my life)

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 27 2025

Nothing makes me go crazy go stupid like a Johnny Cash live from prison album.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Oct 28 2025

It wasn’t bad but I’m ready for the next album

Oct 29 2025

I liked it. Feels like the album was passionately made.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Oct 30 2025

I expected at least a little freaky…. Neither good enough nor off-putting enough for me to care

Dare! by The Human League
Oct 31 2025

You just know if they showed the full pic of this guy his hair would fill up the rest of the space

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Nov 03 2025

This sucked

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 04 2025

Hell yeah

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Nov 05 2025

Excellent and I probably wouldn't have ever thought to listen to this if it wasn't on the list

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Nov 06 2025

If I only had an hour and 6 min left to live I’d listen to this album because it would make it feel like a year It’s not bad just eh

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Nov 11 2025

Listening to this while driving around… my car smells like the 48 meatballs in my passenger seat… Ratatouille vibes

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Nov 14 2025

TBT to being 14 and edgy and listening to "Where is My Mind" after hearing the instrumental version in "It's Kind of a Funny Story".

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Nov 18 2025

2010 me would've found this revolutionary, I wish I could send this rec back in time to her because I can't super appreciate it now. She did listen to My Body Is a Cage though, so not a complete regret.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Nov 21 2025

Reminds me of that Gayle Waters-Waters skit about Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver living in a nest together, and every time they see each or hear other they get scared. This is cute, but I feel like this dude could be in that nest.

Dookie by Green Day
Nov 24 2025

Friends hot older brother in the 00s vibes I did not have friends with hot brothers :(

Guero by Beck
Nov 25 2025

Bro I paused A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (50th Anniversary Edition) for this

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Nov 26 2025

I had only heard the first song before and was like wow this is gonna be a great album if that is just the opener!!!

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Nov 27 2025

Basing it off of the music rather than the artist because a lot of our faves suck (take that as an insult to our faves, not a waiver for this fuck): How is taking another person's music and performing it with less energy and excitement groundbreaking?

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Dec 01 2025

Reminds me of eating snacks in my moms kitchen

Green by R.E.M.
Dec 02 2025

Tribal tattoo on an older white guy… BUT he’s hot and also jacked 3.5

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Dec 04 2025

Very 2D feeling… but in a way I liked? Except when it got loud at the end tha made me crawl back into my shelllll

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Dec 05 2025

when I say I love listening to the beach boys, this is not the album I mean Also, "you stepped on my french fries :( " 3.25

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 08 2025

The album shows two full stars and that's what I shall give it. Just not a Bowie guy.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Dec 09 2025

This isn't a genre I really like, but I like this better than anything else I've listened to from this genre. Glad it was recommended but I don't think I will come back to it.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Dec 10 2025

If I was born a generation earlier, this would be to me what Sabrina Carpenter albums are to me now.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Dec 12 2025

Ya'll shat on Adele for making her voice sound the same throughout her entire album...

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Dec 15 2025

Not to be a perv but I’m genuinely curious how many babies were made to this album. Imagine having an impact on the population like that… wild

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Dec 16 2025

Background vibes for me but that's not an insult

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Dec 17 2025

Wow… no thanks

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Dec 22 2025

I can see how it's influential, but I also find it annoying. I think I'd like it more if they didn't do the 80's YELLING THING

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Dec 24 2025

Bigdog... I just cannot gaslight myself into caring

Dec 25 2025

Self aware enough to make the songs short, not self aware enough to keep the album under an hour. I do enjoy the funky bass tho

The Clash by The Clash
Dec 29 2025

I always think they're going to be more hardcore than they are 2.8

Dec 30 2025

I'm not tough but this album needs to toughen up. It's the hateable main character sad about a situation they put their self in. Like they're sitting in the mud in the rain and you just wanna turn the show off. But you can't because you said you'd listen to 1001 albums. Clocks was good tho

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jan 01 2026

There is some beauty in this, but it is overshadowed by the uneasiness some of the songs produce I keep editing between 2 & 3 but final score is a 2 due to the stress it gave me to rate this

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jan 02 2026

Liked it better than I thought I would

Document by R.E.M.
Jan 06 2026

A few bangers, but the rest I don't care too much for. A 2 point something

Homework by Daft Punk
Jan 07 2026

Thought this would be cooler and less annoying

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 12 2026

This reminds me of my parent's old-ass cat. I would always play the "Oh eyyyehai ohhhhOHH I'm still alive" part for her when I came home from college. I think she liked it. RIP Stella Blue <3

21 by Adele
Jan 13 2026

good but did not maek me gostupidgocrazy

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Jan 14 2026

The right amount of mid for today

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jan 16 2026

I think it’s objectively a 5 but I liked it a 4 amount

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 19 2026

Sometimes the blues makes me crave barbecue so bad that I literally salivate. This does that

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 20 2026

Optimal listening conditions: on a small yacht or large houseboat while “making love” to a hairy chested, heavily mustached man in 1977, stoned off my rocker.

Eagles by Eagles
Jan 21 2026

Bangers with some snoozers between em.................... but it's the eagles so their snoozers are still bangers the chug one was a joke tho

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Jan 22 2026

Started out great but then what the fuck. This would've been a 5 if the whole album was like the first few. A point off for all the yapping and a point off for getting annoying :(

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Jan 23 2026

Listening notes: - Love the vibe of the album art and that the album cover tells us exactly what we're in for. - I ! LOVE ! WEATHER ! CHANNEL ! MUSIC ! - Rumba Mama in the middle of all of this? Incredible. Mixes it up then gets back to regularly scheduled programming. - I love every single song on this album Final thoughts: Perfect album. I have zero criticism.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jan 26 2026

I don’t have anything crasy to say

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jan 28 2026

I have been listening to this album since before I was born so it's really hard for me to be objective. I appreciate The Dead as they have been prominent on the sound track of my life and I have a lot of memories that were made to this music. Also, I like the shorter, more melody-focused album versions of the song better, like this.

No Other by Gene Clark
Jan 29 2026

Idk man… this one feels special

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Feb 03 2026

Every time I listen to this album it’s like biting into an Asiago bagel for the first time

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Feb 05 2026

Saying “I am a robot” over and over again is the first thing a kid would do with that voice machine

Pornography by The Cure
Feb 06 2026

Difficult to rate but

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Feb 09 2026

Solid 60s pop album.

Low by David Bowie
Feb 10 2026

The best Bowie album so far, putting it at a whopping 3

Feb 11 2026

Liked this album but found myself not wanting to listen to it

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 13 2026

I think I finally hear what my mom heard when I listened to indie (3.7 but rounded down)

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 17 2026

Good like ambient music for this vibe but nothing really tickles the amygdala

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Feb 19 2026

This is hard because as a bob dylan album it’s a 4 but as a blues album it’s a 3 I will be nice today

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Feb 24 2026

I am feeling nice today because I had a fresh slice of cookie cake :)

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Feb 25 2026

Annoying and frankly unsexy

Horses by Patti Smith
Feb 26 2026

To moany-squeaky. This is probably what goofy’s wife (RIP) sounded like while getting it on.

Quiet Life by Japan
Feb 27 2026

It’s good (I think?) but I just can’t bring myself to care. Like celebrity or danish pastry

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Mar 02 2026

Why did I think the Velvet Underground was similar to the Clash???

In Utero by Nirvana
Mar 03 2026

You were culturally conditioned to hate nickleback. Form your opinion. Don't fall for the psyops.

Kala by M.I.A.
Mar 04 2026

Normalize dropping singles <3

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Mar 05 2026

I think the only thing stopping it from being a 5 is my mood. But I get to write the ratings, so it's a 4.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 06 2026

Good sounding if someone was singing it live at a bonfire or something, but not something I would actively seek out to listen to. Title track was good

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Mar 09 2026

This feels like something an indoor cat would go turn on to mope to when her owners don’t let him outside

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Mar 10 2026

So the thing about the Beach Boys for me is that the production is so good that even the boring songs are good. Really great sound to this one.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 12 2026

At times, there were sounds so bad I wanted to quit listening (around minutes 7-9 on the full album). But overall, the sounds were mostly good. Lowkey felt like a battle of the bands between good and bad sounds at times, which is cool. Also it reminds me of the public library.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Mar 16 2026

I like his voice and it's got that 90's rap people-jumping-around-in-circles sound that's fun and makes me want to jump with them. But sometimes it's too much and I want them to stop jumping for a few. 4 instead of 3 because it's interesting

Purple Rain by Prince
Mar 17 2026

I've tried SO many times in my life to appreciate Prince's music and this is the first time I've liked it at all which is wild because now I really like it.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Mar 18 2026

I will absolutely be twerking to this at Alec’s funeral

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 19 2026

Not 4 me but not made 4 me

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Mar 20 2026

Christian rock could learn a thing or two from this album. I think contemporary Christian music is a cop-out genre because you can just make a poorly written song, say how much you love god, and top the chart. When people hate on it, fans say the hate is because it's religious. Then you go and look at Qawwali music, and I'm sure there are some that miss the boat, but I've never heard a Qawwali song that wasn't at least an 8/10. This whole album slaps.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Mar 23 2026

I thought this was going to make me feel like a cowboy, but it just made me think of cowboys occasionally while listening to it

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Mar 25 2026

It's like drinking OJ straight "Orange juice the mixer? That's so crazy, whens the last time you had straight mixer?"

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Mar 26 2026

I like the weird interests of other decades present within other decades

The Yes Album by Yes
Mar 30 2026

Yes seems a little enthusiastic, I’d say “sure :)”

Synchronicity by The Police
Mar 31 2026

A few good bits here and there. These guys would've done better with ticktock rather than the full song format.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Apr 01 2026

Shakin a little ass to this today

Nixon by Lambchop
Apr 02 2026

This album patted me on the head and handed me a cup of soup, but it was a little snoozy.... like me after the soup

Cut by The Slits
Apr 03 2026

What if we did something people should actually listen to before they die?? Like i dunno.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... FUCKING ENYA???????????????????????

Melodrama by Lorde
Apr 07 2026

Normalize artists telling the crowd to STFU, I ain't paying 100$ to listen to Brittney from Iowa scream-sing Writer in the Dark.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Apr 08 2026

Is there an instrumental version? Or with a different voice? Everyone except the main vocalist is killin it

Opus Dei by Laibach
Apr 09 2026

Zig zagged between really good songs and boring repetitive songs

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Apr 10 2026

I was expecting this to more exciting than it was

Apr 13 2026

The kind of music someone puts on in the car just to turn it down have a conversation over it

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Apr 14 2026

I don’t think this performance was worth putting the live version of this on here. I like the songs tho

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 17 2026

I hope they put one of their good albums on this list too

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Apr 20 2026

Disco is very alive in my heart

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Apr 21 2026

Cute at times, boring at times, but ultimately it took me three days to finish because I kept not wanting to listen

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Apr 22 2026

Mind if a white boy dance to a little español?

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Apr 23 2026

Are u a tropical bird? No? Then stop making that noise.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Apr 24 2026

I like the sounds but also I can't take it seriously... that one reviewer was right when they said this is like someone posting on facebook. Maybe she could redo it in Simlish :)

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Apr 27 2026

Album so good a bee flew in my car to ride with me and listen. We both agreed it was a five before she went on with her day.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Apr 28 2026

One time I was at a bar in North Carolina and I met a guy who said he the drummer for ZZ Top and I still don’t know if he was serious

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 29 2026

The story telling

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Apr 30 2026

Not great vocals but the vibe was so 90s (affectionate). I am probably swayed by the cover art.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
May 01 2026

Started out strong, but then it got really British really fast

War by U2
May 05 2026

Yeah, this is really good

Dirt by Alice In Chains
May 08 2026

A hard 5

Heroes by David Bowie
May 11 2026

This feels like it was designed in a lab to annoy me. I never want to hear it again.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
May 13 2026

Not my usual kind of music that I enjoy, but I like it more than other similar albums. I like how short the album was. A 3 point something in general, but at least a 4 point something for the genre.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 14 2026

Alec will like this one and have a raunchy story to share

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 15 2026

The mixing and production on this was so awful I’m not sure what the music was actually like

Debut by Björk
May 18 2026

In my mind, Bjork is a selkie

2112 by Rush
May 19 2026

I have high expectations for rush. This was great but didn’t make me gostupidgocrazy

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
May 20 2026

Love me a weird songstress

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
May 22 2026

Did not meet expectations

The Bends by Radiohead
May 25 2026

Not bad, not my thang

Raw Power by The Stooges
May 27 2026

This reminded me how obsessed I was with Dark Shadows (2012) A three point something

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
May 28 2026

Unremarkable. Replace this with Enya.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jun 01 2026

Violator? I barely know ‘er!

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 02 2026

There’s idiots in America?!?!

Black Metal by Venom
Jun 05 2026

Back and forth between noisy/annoying and good

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jun 08 2026

I have synesthesia and this album is orange…. But! If you put boron on it and light it on fire, it will turn green!! Hope this helps :)

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jun 09 2026

Cozy. Like an ambient 5. I feel like this is what wooly bear caterpillars would listen to.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jun 10 2026

Well someone’s gotta put the cunty in country

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jun 11 2026

I have a hard time listening to lyrics for an entire album, so I usually rate more based off of sound, u unless lyrics stick out to me. Nice beats… but idk

Jun 12 2026

I was like “I guess this is okay” but then I had good music queued up next and realized I was settling like sandy in grease

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jun 16 2026

Saltine cracker of an album. Digestible and won’t get you wound up, for better or for worse. 3.5

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jun 18 2026

B̴̢̝̙͚̼̖͓̞̓̋̐̄̿͋́͑́̀͜͝r̸͚͈̖̺̙̅̆̍̍̈́͌̈́̀͂̾̌͝u̸̧̮͎̗̥̣͔̤̳͇͍͛͜ͅv̸͎͕͈̠͔̾̅̿̂̆̾͂̍̑͐͒̔…

Jun 19 2026

This album warps the space time continuum. Makes 46 min feel like 90 min. Ground breaking. Maybe their minds aren’t so simple.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 22 2026

You can’t even hear the didgeridoo

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 23 2026

Me and these boys both need a cup of chamomile tea to cool down it a little 3.7

The White Room by The KLF
Jun 24 2026

I kno this is not what it’s about at all, but justified and ancient hit the same part of my brain that holds memories to puff the magic dragon and land before time. So somehow my neurons made me almost cry listening to this or whatever.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jun 25 2026

One of the easiest and quickest 5s I’ve given. Thank God for an album I actually want to listen to!

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jun 29 2026

I feel like everyone’s being so dramatic about this one

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jun 30 2026

Kinda freaky

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jul 02 2026

… horse tears you say?

Jul 06 2026

Both of the Tom Waits albums that I’ve listened to so far really bring you to a specific place. This makes me feel like I’m in a movie or something and I like that about it.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Jul 07 2026

You really thought we wouldn’t notice school girl if you hid it in the middle of a 2 hour long album?

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jul 08 2026

Who took the beach out of these boys?

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jul 09 2026

Feels like an album I should have childhood memories associated with but I don’t…

California by American Music Club
Jul 10 2026

Nothing wrong with it, it’s just not for me

Third by Soft Machine
Jul 13 2026

This sounds like me at 8 years old messing around on my Great Grandmas organ while my little sister fist fights geese in the background

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 14 2026

ACTUALLY really good

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 16 2026

It’s okay. Fine for the background.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jul 17 2026

A human rights violation. Fuck you, man.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jul 20 2026

This kind of music is so fucking annoying to me, but also I get how it was fresh, I see how it’s fun, and I can hear how it’s not objectively bad. All things considered I guess it’s a 3.

Odelay by Beck
Jul 22 2026

Sorta sounds like the Beatles. The village might come after me with pitchforks and torches for that one, but I’ve seen how fast the village walks and I’m not worried

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jul 23 2026

“I’m an itchy booty yeah”

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jul 27 2026

This made me feel like I was in an episode of King of the Hill

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jul 29 2026

Always a pleasure to have an album named after me

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jul 30 2026

Lyrically sweet when I paid attention. Melodically uninspiring most of the time tho. I’m not mad about it

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Aug 04 2026

A great day to not be lactose intolerant
