If anyone, for whatever reason, has to read Pride and Prejudice in the future for a class, I found a very faithful TV miniseries adaptation online.

This has made understanding the story arc much easier. Although I do still prefer the zombies version as per below. Fight scenes make ANY movie better!!

RAY DALIO was on NPR just now but I missed it. (Cat wanted a drink from the sink).
If anyone finds the audio, maybe you can post it, here. I’ll look for it in the afternoon.

Dalio on restructuring.

Thanks! Btw, I found the audio above -- only 3 minutes -- and posted it in a new thread.

Looks like he has been in quarantine for quite some time (based on his hair).

I think the image is of Louis Le Grande Dauphin. That said, I always wondered where bow ties originated.

Adam Schlesinger, late of Fountains of Wayne and fountains of coronavirus, wrote the song That Thing You Do, from the eponymous movie. You can hear the similarities with their song Stacy's Mom, especially in the backing vocals.

Love both the movie and the song. I can listen to the song at least five times in a row. After I finally finish doing so, I'll listen to that other song.

I did listen to "That Thing You Do" as I predicted I would. I'm now on the four listen of "Stacy's Mom". I'm surprised I'd never prior heard it.

I'm not hearing any similarities at all.

"That Thing You Do" succeeded in making it sound like it WAS a hit song from the 60s.

"Stacy's Mom" seems to have it roots starting with the Cars (early 80s) and continuing with the music somewhere into the 90s.

I'm going to put both songs in front of the former vocalist in our band who is a great analyzer of music to see what similarities he hears.

The guitar effects in the Wonders songs sound like the synth effects in the Fountains song. The backing vocals harmonization. and their usage are similar. Nobody did backing vocals like that when Stacy's Mom came out. The vocal reverb is similar. It sounds like the Wonders song was recorded on old equipment (or, old effects, it was filmed in 1999), which gives it that vintage vibe.

It was a great movie.

[Kriegsspiel]

By the way, one of my favorite songs, by Brand New, is strangely appropriate for the Wuhan.

The fever, the focus
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell
Die young and save yourself
The tickle, the taste of
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up
Die young and save yourself

It's also a beautiful music video.

Speaking of Brand New and beautiful music videos, they made two of them.

Tonight Alive - Little Lion Man

Apparently, this Aussie band was in a comic book movie. Their cover remains excellent.

Thanks for providing room for the following comments:

1) Passed both songs on the two vocalists in our band to see what similarities they saw. Have not yet heard back from them.

2) I did hit it on the Cars!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacy%27s_Mom

"In writing the song, he was hoping to take influence from new wave and power pop music: "I was thinking a little bit about "Mrs. Robinson" and sonically I was thinking about The Cars, a Rick Springfield sort of thing." He acknowledged that stylistically, the song "owes a debt" to the Cars' "Just What I Needed"; its opening guitar riff is similar.[7] The Cars' frontman Ric Ocasek thought that the intro was a sample from "Just What I Needed"[8] but the band says they performed it in the studio and just "got it right." "

3) "Stacy" in real life is a fellow Italian also from Rhode Island.

4) Over the decades I've many times read Rachel Hunter's name in the context of being Rod Stewart's wife but I don't know if I'd ever seen her prior to tonight. The thing I always thought about her was Rod Stewart in his live Unplugged MTV performance introducing one of his songs by saying it came out before his wife was born!

5) The movie came out in 1996.

Here is what I got back after asking if our former vocalist saw any similarities between the two songs:

"First, the chord progression and melody are very similar. The vocal harmony is also.
These songs are basically formula pop tunes."
