Inspired by a post that popped on lemmy world today about Weird Al it got me thinking. I listed out a bunch of names but the one that I think fits the most would probably be Surfan Stevens. Who do you all think?
I love Sufjan Stevens, but I don’t see the comparison. While I really love his lyrics (one of the few I actually like them, I usually find most artist lyrics to be plain and way too cheesy), his music is very simple compared to a behemoth like Mozart.
Mozart was able to write highly complex music very fast, that went from deep themes to silly ones, and enjoyed popularity from both critics and public, which is something quite rare.
I don’t which one would be the closest today. Maybe something like Williams or Ennio Morricone.
That’s sick! There are many fantasy ranges in 3d that imho are even better than GWs, and they are gonna explore im popularity with old world. Last Sword are my favorite, so much character.
Mine is people who separate words when they write. I’m Norwegian, and we can string together words indefinetly to make a new word. The never ending word may not make any sense, but it is gramatically correct...
In general I think Spanish is a well formed language without (or at least not much) crazy shit.
But I still don’t know why we have the same fucking word for weather and time. While using the same word for different meanings is ok, these two are ridiculously common concepts used a lot and it’s not hard to get into situations where it’s hard to know which is which. Absolutely stupid.
It’s easier if you don’t think it as actual gender, and just as grammar. You have “el televisor” (masculine) and “la tele” o “la tv” (femenine), both meaning “the tv”. It’s more about how the word ends than anything.
Still, it’s something that if someone gets it wrong, it sounds off but everyone still understands. No one is going to care for a foreigner saying that wrong. There’s no really a confusion to be had there.
But time/weather can lead to actual misunderstandings.
Who in your opinion is the modern day equivalent to Mozart? (lemmy.world)

People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?
I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records....
