It won't be the vpn but you need the independent uploader or "[artist] - topic" uploader generally, not the artist official or whatever premium displays otas

the music is shit, no doubt, but I can almost empathise because I didn't buy, but in primary school ( approx 8 or 9 years old ) I had an anorak which I customised so i could shoplift Airfix* kits of elite German tanks ( Leopard, Tiger Panther, etc., ) by secreting them in the pockets that I "extended"
* UK plastic model kit firm
NERDCORE!

That's very strange. I'm not really seeing any independent uploader versions for e.g. Thin Man, and they all play fine for me (I don't have premium or anything, just the free YT!). Does anyone else know what's up/how to fix? Would Spotify links be better WG?

OK this is great; everyone has agreed that the music is shit. It's now common knowledge, we're all aware. Everybody knows, there is no doubt or uncertainty. Now we can move on to talking about interesting things that maybe isn't known by everyone, instead of pointing obvious things out repeatedly.

(3/100) Dixie Chicks, "Landslide"
Parents' rotation was rounded out by a Dixie Chicks record (Home, 2002), some Celtic folk comps, Keith Urban's Be Here, some Cowboy Junkies, Gary Allan's Tough All Over. I'll do a few more posts for childhood music tomorrow—maybe "Cats in the Cradle," "Midnight Walker," and "Best I Ever Had"—then move on to my own early-teens music discovery. Hopefully these YT links work for UK/non-premium folk.
We’d drive up to Northern California to visit family each Christmas—before my grandpa lost all his money in the 2008 crash, and had to move to a tax haven to keep a roof over his head into retirement—in hope of getting some snow. My hometown, the climate was always too mild, we didn’t have seasons in any proper sense, so we had to seek them out.
Honorable mention for “Goodbye Earl” and the one that always really moved me, “Top of the World.”
One is about a girls revenge-plot on an abusive husband. The Chicks were the beginning of my exposure to politics via the infamous anti-Bush, anti-war statements the Texas band made on tour. (Leading to their 2000s-style cancellation by conservative camps.) There was a song, "Travelling Soldier," about a young Vietnam casualty which made an impact on me too. The other cut's about death and aging. The chorus is corny, but ten-year-old me thought the verse was sublime. Continuing a theme, I suppose I always preferred the slower, sadder Dixie Chicks songs. All the uptempo fiddle-stomping stuff of e.g. "Earl" never did much for me.
Wished I'd shown you
All of the things I was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye
Go to work in the rain
Don’t know why
I don’t know why
The way it blends the pretending-to-be-asleep-in-the-morning with death—there's something touching and true in that blending. The shirking from connection, the little good-byes. Or the way the song constantly admits its own inability to know or comprehend the tragedy it claims to depict.

This thread reminds me of the last day before Xmas when the teacher said we could bring in our music to listen to, and that shy girl Tilly finally plucked up the courage to put on her Marti Webb cassette, and Donna and her gang of snot-nosed pups casually ripped it out of the tape deck and put Duran Duran back on.

I was chatting to @catalog earlier about how most people sign up to a forum, read a few posts, and then figure out what is not acceptable, but I have to admire you for just ignoring that and posting your tunes regardless - respect!
but let's talk plastic soldiers at age eight! - I guess you were into Civil War miniatures? Big question: Confederate or Union? Who wins?

They were WW2 era mainly, coded green and khaki/gray. Green always won! Didn't know much about 20th C warfare so not sure I understood the color coding beyond knowing green was good.
I also had maybe 150 full sized Civil War figurines, which were fun because you got to put the generals on horses, and line up the canons and the ammo boxes and the wagons that carried them. Most the time I played those I reenacted real battles, using troop movement diagrams from the books, so that determined winner.

cool, I have to admit at age eight I fucking loved German tanks and I shoplifted loads - especially the Japanese model kits -I loved my Koenig Tigers.and so on .. but that's just aesthetics and when I hit my teens I turned full anarchist, because FUCK AUTHORITY! , and it's possible to grow as a person etc.,
totally, i'd paint my elite Deutsch tanks in sand colours ( Rommel! ), and lovingly apply the decals
and yes, i'd build planes, then fill the fuselage with petrol and ignite them , or hang them from wires and shoot them with air rifles, etc.,
for sure we were a sick bunch of kids

Wow all that work and you'd set them on fire!
You hear about kids who build models and you hear about kids who set things aflame but they're rarely the same kid
