On That Note - Wax and Wane

MeanDean
Happy Wednesday and welcome to another weekly edition of On That Note. OTN is a music discussion forum hosted by myself, @cyclones500 and @CycloneRulzzz.

This weeks OTN is based on a suggestion from @Knownothing.

The focus this time is on groups/acts you used to like but now don't like. And conversely, groups/acts you formerly didn't care for, but have over time, or for some reason, come to appreciate.

Thus the title Wax and Wane. And as cyclones500 pointed out when he suggested the title, 'wax' is also a slang term for a record.

Please elaborate on how the change occurred or what was the reason.

Also please post the song or songs that most caused that change, either positive or negative.

Here is a link to last week's post, "Give Us Your Keys"

Now, my initial contribution...

Leslie Gore (overplayed - especially It's My Party). Instead of that I'll post a song of hers that is less played I still enjoy hearing on occasion: California Nights.

Next you have The Four Seasons who also are overplayed. And the similarity between songs is quite, well, similar. Then throw in the fact I'm not a huge fan of the male falsetto voice you have a strong reason why I'm over them. And like Leslie I actually still DO sorta like one of their songs. C'mon Marianne.

Lastly Neil Diamond. Back when Oldies radio was a thing there was a local station that strongly catered to Neil Diamond fans (they called them "Diamond heads"). It got old fast so I started holding a grudge against his music. I do sort of still tolerate some earlier stuff of his and even like the Monkees' performances of his tunes.

In the opposite vane, when Fleetwood Mac were making it big, especially during Rumours, I was not much of a fan. I've grown more of a fan over time. All except the Tusk album. No thanks.

Friday OT #1 - Three and Three

Angie
Thanks so much to @cyclones500 for always coming to my rescue with great, topical thread ideas! This one is with Mother's Day in mind (note to all CF dudes - get your mom or wife something).

Among your common personality/life outlook traits, which did your absorb from your mother and which from your dad? List 3 you think you picked up from your mom and which 3 from your dad.

So, for me:

Mom:
  • hyper-organization of schedule and work
  • a bit of a worrier
  • fairly Type A overall - need to get projects done thoroughly and on-time

Dad:
  • pretty healthy dose of sarcasm
  • strong sense of commitment to finish something I start
  • involvement in community organizations
Wow, that was harder than I thought! What do you have?

So we decided to give the latest in theater seating tech a shot for Avengers Endgame. It’s a significant up charge at $40 for 2 people for these seats so I was pretty stoked for the “totally immersive environment “.

Big mistake! Not only are the seats smaller, they don’t recline at all and the movement/vibrations are the equivalent of having a kid sit behind you and kick your seat and pull on the back every couple minutes. It was just distracting and annoying to us so we ended up moving to the recliner seats in a different theater.

They were nice about it and even refunded the up charge amount but lesson learned for us.
