   13 barn owls in a trenchcoat (hauntedowlbear@eldritch.cafe)'s status on Wednesday, 29-Nov-2023 20:34:05 JST 13 barn owls in a trenchcoat

   Small Owlbear currently likes Imagine Dragons, the pop band with the most disappointing name in the world, because obviously that name should belong to some kind of progressive post-metal outfit.

   I suspect that most of this liking is due to all those "Believer but sung by a cat" videos on YouTube.

   So obviously, I'm doing the only thing any right-thinking metal parent can:

   Buying them a copy of the album, installing a MIDI keyboard teaching tool, and preparing to load the cats' vocalisations into a sampler.

   And maybe a pair of discrete earplugs for myself. (I am not a fan, and Believer specifically is an uncomfortable listening experience for me both lyrically and musically.)

     @kittylyst they'd probably be really good at over the shoulder sight checks?

     @tautology black metal has enough problems without me contributing this to them :dragn_grimace:

     @HauntedOwlbear not making a black metal cover and then teaching $sproglet to play it?

     (I *would* do this, but both of my sprogs are better at playing music instruments than I would ever be and I've already had far too much influence over their music tastes.)
