      I know this is a humerous comment but it got me thinking: are spiders (or any small creatures for that matter) able to enjoy something like music. Are they capable of any abstract thought or are their lives completely driven by instinct (find food, mate, etc.)? If they are able to understand rhythm, can they...dance? Would they even get any gratification from it?

      Well, not sure about this, but most creatures try to do a 'dance' to impress a mate or shos dominance so maybe spiders do it too? Not sure if they dance with a music rhythm

      @@aplimsollpunk2738 No. Spiders are biological computers that react to vibrations because it means "food"
      some part of the song might've told the spider there was prey thrashing around and to go look for it, but the spider absolutely did not get something from the music.
      this is textbook fallacious reasoning, that a non-human animal acting in a way reminiscent of humans means that human psychology is operating in the animal.
      it isn't.
      your cat doesn't snuggle with you because it loves you, it's siphoning off your body heat.
      the *only* creatures in the animal kingdom that thinks like us are canids, because they're descended from wolves which very much joined human tribes of their own volition, but even that operates in an extremely limited capacity.
      Here's a classical thought experiment - if a human and lion both spoke english, they could not communciate.
      Even if we spoke the exact same language as the animal, our frames of reference are so far removed that we would not be able to communicate meaningfully to any degree

    Saw Jim Reid in the corridor
    And I wondered if he could ever see me that way
    He was on my list at the grocery store
    When you grabbed my wrist and said you liked my keychain
    Read your feature in the weekly paper
    And honestly I found it a little bit bloated
    Friday we fell through the coffee table
    And that's when I discovered that my heart exploded
    How?
    How?
    You're a lollipop
    In the form of a lightning bolt
    You're a lollipop in my hair
    But I'm a gumdrop
    Am I ever gonna fit that mold?
    'Cause I don't have the patience to wait in line for you
    When I came back to apologize
    You asked me if I was intrigued by LSD
    I sat next to you on the picnic bench
    And before I knew it, you were flying next to me
    I met your baby at the exposition
    And frankly I found it a little unnerving
    I let you know when we were driving home
    And all I can remember is the fact we were swerving
    Lollipop
    In the form of a lightning bolt
    You're a lollipop in my hair
    (How could I ever betray you?)
    But you're a doorstop
    When you're lying on the bathroom floor
    And I don't have the time to wait in line for you
    (How could I ever betray you?)
    Alter my state to get through this date (You're alone in this picture)
    (And it swallows me whole)
    Alter my state to get through this date (You're alone in this picture)
    Alter my state to get through this date (And it swallows me whole)
    (You're alone in this picture)
    Alter my state to get through this date (And it swallows me whole)
    (You're alone in this picture)
    Alter my state to get through this date
    You're a lollipop
    In the form of a lightning bolt (How could I ever obtain you?)
    You're a lollipop in my hair
    (How could I ever betray you?)
    You look like Iggy Pop
    Circa '73 or '4 (How could I ever obtain you?)
    But I don't have the time wait in line for you
    (How could I ever betray you?)
    Wait for you
    Wait for you

      There's something about this band and their music, it's more than just the great hooks; it's their attitude, or taste, or personality, I'm not really sure... Sadly, I don't personally know a single other person who 'gets' them. My snobby circle tends to dismiss them as a frivolous, lightweight pop band and don't understand what I see/hear in them. "You're just simping for Molly R." Well, I AM, but it goes WAY beyond that. You have to be obtuse not to appreciate how fucking great their songs are. It's good to know I'm not alone in feeling that way.
