Who is an artist or public figure you still enjoy despite them being cancelled for bad behaviour? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

'The Dilbert Principle' is a great book. It's a shame he threw all that goodwill away.

David Byrne continues to be awesome and Terry Pratchett is a goddamn saint.

Kevin Spacey. 'K-Pax' and 'Swimming With Sharks' were so good.

His early stand-up was what ignited my love of the format. "Himself" is a masterclass. Such a shame.

Norm will always be a comedy genius to me, but Gervais, as much as I've enjoyed his stand-up in the past, has become a self-satisfied insufferable dickhead imo.

Longer than it probably should have.

Was it the lack of helmets?

Dave Chappelle says his trans jokes 'went down well' at Saudi Arabia gig in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world
[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

The first time I heard Chappelle was the 'Killing Them Softly' show where he did a bit about how he didn't want to get famous. He should have stuck with that.

Cool. I'm sure they did. He should move there permanently.

One of the best.

Yello - Oh Yeah (youtu.be)

Back in the eighties, I loved Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and upon reading the film's credits, I discovered the ending song, Oh Yeah, was by a band called Yello. In the spirit of irony, I went to my local record shop in Burnie looking to get a copy for myself. I purchased a cassette copy of 'The New Mix In One Go' (a best of album), and it ignited a lifelong love of the band that persists to this day.

Stella, the album from which it comes is also one of their best.

This guy is literally fantastic. I highly recommend listening to his entire discography.

America’s Christian Death Cult - Michael Burns (youtu.be)
 

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I think it fits. Really interesting video from the guy that used to do the "Philosophy of..." videos on Wisecrack.

No More Kings - 1.21Gigawatts (youtu.be)
 

New album dropped from these guys a few months ago - 'Back', A homage to Back To The Future. Love some nerd rock.

Erotic Cakes - Guthrie Govan (music.youtube.com)
 

Amazing album, and I'm not even all the way through it yet.

Reggie Watts Live From the Berghain (youtu.be)
 

I wasn't sure where to post this - music or funny. It's both. Reggie Watts put up a full show recently. He's so good.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to share this, but fans of Firefly might appreciate this new podcast from Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk; two of my favourite men in media reminiscing about their Firefly days. It's great.

Lettuce - Chief (music.youtube.com)
 

Been working my way through this band's discography and liking pretty much all of it. This track stood out, especially when the guitar solo kicks in.

Wash Your Face - Five Alarm Funk (music.youtube.com)
 

Been listening to these guys on the way to work this week. So bombastic and punchy.

Give Us The Moon - The Night Flight Orchestra (music.youtube.com)
 

The Night Flight Orchestra put out a new album this year and I only just now found out! Love their retro glam rock vibe. Amber Galactic is a recent all-time favourite.

Went for a bike ride (aussie.zone)
 

I haven't been riding much since about 2011 due to various issues with my bike pissing me off, and also being too heavy for it. I've lost the weight and finally got everything working again, with a little help from DT Recumbents in Rothwell (awesome work, James), and took it out for a ride to Nudgee Beach today. I'm a bit sore after a 30km return ride, but I'm happy, and looking forward to riding it to work in the future.
