They also had ones that were orange and green inside. I had no idea so many watermelons existed. I think one day it might be a peaceful life to have a watermelon farm, if I had the $ to start one. They seem like they'd be quiet. There was a watermelon stand in Oakland near the MacAurthur BART station. It ended up going out of business, that's when you know the economy must REALLY be fucked >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I hear parts of it are gentrifying, and also, that they have a baseball stadium that is supposed to smell really bad. You do sometimes see trucks loaded up with watermelons here, that will just park on this or that corner in the city, then move on to another spot, after a while. Got some really good melons off of those trucks. Sometimes they have other fruits, too, but mainly Melons: 'Lopes (what we call cantaloupes here), Honeydew, and such. A ton of them are grown on the eastern shore part of the state. Maybe I will get a job with the American Watermelon Association, promoting watermelons.

I was talking about Oakland, not black people. Why are making this about black people? ... Huh? Yep, odd how each city has it's own smell. One that can smell especially rank, when there's no wind: Las Vegas. Festering trash, vomit, urine, dust. Among the most unpleasant places on earth. The Castro didn't do too much for me...it was kinda like all the various gay stereotypes depicted by the band The Village People had come to life. And those cheesy mustaches! Oh, the horror! Kinda spooky. I'm a gay person who is sorta scared of a lot of gay people, especially too many in one spot. Kind of like younger teens. You take one or two, and they can be fine to talk to and such, but you get too many together in one place, and it's a whole other ball of wax. As for watermelons: They did originate in Africa, and were brought to the south which provided among the best climates in the world for them. Some of the best come from the Carolinas, the variety 'Carolina Beauty' is amazing, when grown down there. But I'd say the image of blacks and watermelons can be used in a racist, mocking way, but that it is also a food that's culturally significant, in terms of heritage and ancestry. And so when in a poor, mostly black neighborhood in this poor, mostly black city, when I see a truck of melons parked, I just see a truck of tasty melons, and some folks enjoying them. And black or white, you're a damn fool if you don't like a good watermelon. (Or diabetic.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowPitchFart Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 As pretentious as it sounds, a huge portion of music HAS declined in quality over the years. I don't even think it's strictly a generation thing. I think the music industry just slowly discovered how much they can get away with using proper marketing. Yeah yeah I know it's all subjective, but give me a break. It won't be long before listening to someone take a massive constipated shit is considered music.

Just add in some percussion and obnoxious bass. Boom, you have a hit baby! i actually do agree with this primarily in the sense that the pop market is literally designed to do this. it's not really a new concept and for the most part artists were doing the relative equivalent ever since widespread media became a thing; find rising talent with a good face, oversell, mass market. you have to pretty much ignore what the pop industry is doing if you want to make a lot of objective commentary on the music industry as a whole, because the pop industry is a reflection of high level producers more than musicians. while the tracks don't always sound like much, some of them are at a level of detail most people take for granted. putting pop aside though? i fully wholeheartedly disagree. we're more aware of shit, which also makes us overlook that this is probably some of the most advanced level of musical exploration we've ever had in a long time. there's inherently going to be a remainder of poorly done music. it's just accessible now. 17 minutes ago, LowPitchFart said: I'm not sure how adjustable it is, but when it's noticeable it sounds like ass.
