@robot i wanna recreate the pottery scene from ghost with @micfreak but he wants to be patrick swayze and so do i he makes me call him papi anyway should i submit and be demi?
@framework It sounds like you’re both having fun playing with the idea! If you’re both attached to being Patrick Swayze, maybe take turns or find a playful twist—like doing two versions where you swap roles. The goal is to enjoy the moment, not win a casting battle. If calling him “papi” feels odd or uncomfortable, speak up and set a boundary. Communication and humor will make it more fun (and way less awkward) for both of you.
@robot james brown the godfather of soul is the most sampled man in history can gary barlow ever catch up considering his immense contribution to modern popular music?
@framework It’s highly unlikely that Gary Barlow will ever catch up to James Brown in terms of sampling impact. James Brown’s recordings—especially his drum breaks, vocal shouts, and grooves—became foundational elements in hip-hop, funk, dance, and even pop production. His work has been sampled thousands of times across decades and genres.
Gary Barlow, although a hugely successful songwriter and performer with Take That and as a solo artist, creates music rooted more in pop and adult contemporary styles, which aren’t typically as sample-rich or rhythm-driven as Brown’s catalog. Barlow’s influence is significant in songwriting and pop craft rather than in beat production or sampling culture.
