Guyssss did anyone notice the musical callback to Sexting in All Time Low? I've been listening to the Inside album again and just noticed in the background of All Time Low you can hear that up down musical motif from Sexting!
Any one know what camera/microphone Bo used in his first song my whole family?
Hey 👋 I've been meaning to watch Zach Stone for a while now, and my friend wants to make a really similar art project (she never even heard of the show) so we thought it'll be a good idea to watch through it. Supposing I don't have prime video / apple.. where can I watch it? Thanks
Like the theater, he mentions Wisconsin in it.
13:57 of the INSIDE special gamer Bo pops up the the lower right hand corner of the screen is this purposeful or did Bo slip up?
The youtube upload for art is dead is 14 years old on this day
This word is from a Bo Burnham song and I know it, but i can’t figure out the song. if you guys could help me the word is “Huns” I know he said it in one of his songs I just can’t figure out which one or maybe I’m going crazy.
It’s been a while since the last time that i’ve listened to Bo, so I put on the Deluxe Version of Inside, and… what are these? I’ve never seen them. When were they released?
I dont understand how Bo does it. He is able to rhyme niche pop culture reference in his songs. To be able to do that you need to first know the topic pretty much of the top of your head to make it rhyme but then also know enough about the pop culture reference to be able to make a joke about it with out breaking the rhythm of the song like wtf.
I'm not sure if maybe it's because of the age gap between him and me, but I don't even get them a lot of the time, like "The surgeon general's pop-up shop, Robert Iger's face" I did not know that was the CEO of Disney until I looked it up. Is that just cause im stupid or because I havent lived long enough to find out and remember that information.
And if he were to try doing some similar stuff (from old songs) today, would he play on the cultural stuff going on now such as lunchly or what
I really like it's melody, so, why not make a orchestral cool thing with it?? So, here we go!
Hell yeah
some kids interviewed him at sundance during the PYW era. i saw it on twitter a long time ago but can’t find it anymore. has anyone else seen it? PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT
Bo doesn’t really look like himself here, but i still think it turned out pretty good
Holy. Shit.
I’m always so confused how a person could write a thesis for a Netflix special but I understand it now.
This show is beyond words, the way Bo’s introspective comedy, his story, his allegory is told through the depressive states of Covid is amazing.
And the way all of his social commentary holds up years later, it’s beautiful writing to be honest. Not to mention the meta commentary on social media.
I saw a few of the videos that went with the songs and I thought nothing of it but after seeing the context and the “how we got here” it adds so much to the songs and the entirety of the show.
It’s such an emotional experience that I wish I saw it during Covid but I’m also happy that I saw it after. To see what light was at the end of the tunnel to then look back at what was. It’s insane we managed to get through. Now it’s an understanding of the emotional state of the world then.
I understand it now, it makes sense. It’s a story, it’s a story about everyone. How all of us suffered, some greater than others and how each of us processed things in different ways.
Long story short, he said that theese are the types of songs his grandma listens to, how sick is bro's grandma?
I've been listening to his songs alot and I've noticed a common theme in some of them. He seems to enjoy shit talking Oprah.
I'll send a link to a compilation if you'd like to see what I'm talking about
