Pizza. There's this spot right by the theater in Chicago. Total bliss.

Just as I start feeling good about things, everything goes south! Man, oh man... Sufjan Stevens, Devendra Bahaud...
What's with all the whining? There’s no real hype until the album actually leaks online, honestly. But once it does? It’s gonna be a total show.
no idea said:so when would those headphones actually drop?
Sorry if this is already mentioned somewhere, I just really can't be bothered scrolling through the whole thread right now😳
No clue. Probably won't be until May.
I'm surprised it's not marzipan... marzipan rules!
Right now, it’s Mate vs. Banderas with 9 votes in. 8 people want Two Doorें, 5 are leaning towards Americana, and only 2 picked Post-Punk. Voting stays open until Thursday night since I’m planning to host a listening session this Friday. But man, you guys aren't making this easy... the indecision is killing me! 😁

Come on, Bill & Ted, I closed out my last two headphone sessions with Wonderwall... even if this most recent one was a Cat Power cover, man... if it's an American version, Ryan Adams' take (my absolute favorite) might just close it out again.😍
By the way, most people in Austin just call them listening rooms. Honestly, though, I don't really care what you call it.
Chloe Wilson11 said:As for listening room number 4, I think Mate would totally lose out because those punk bands are way more popular and have a much bigger following... basically, room 4 just doesn't make sense. 😳
Yeah, yeah, they're just stalling. IMO, it’d get massive support. And since I don't even listen to that punk stuff anyway, it would be a landslide victory. Unless Fifi refuses to let me play it, 😉
anyway, I highly doubt they'll actually give me the green light.
@slowpulse: how do I set up a poll?
pule :) said:ugh, younger sisters... 😬
I actually tried to pop off that metal bit once and had to press down super hard just to get it loose. I totally get worrying about dust buildup or scratching the disc, but this feels like overkill..
Plus, one of my random little fantasies is to just dramatically snap or smash a CD. No idea why, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.. I have some old discs at home I'd love to just demolish, but I always end up feeling bad about it. And yeah, I know I could just buy a blank one, but that's not really the vibe. 🙂
I once broke an original Mate Bulic CD I picked up for like a buck at a Walmart clearance sale. Not exactly a huge flex...
American Beauty used to spin Slowpulse way back in the day... let's see what kind of votes we get from everyone.

It's basically pure sublimation! 😬
Sometimes I’ll write "listening room," and other times I’ll go with "audio lounge." I use "audio lounge" because it's technically correct, but I stick to "listening room" just because that's how everyone says it on Reddit.
They're honestly just total garbage.
Alright everyone, I’m planning on hosting a listening session at Unknown soon. Since I can't decide what to play, I've put together four options for you guys to vote on. Once we pick one, I'll get everything ready and you should all come hang out. I wish I knew how to set up a proper poll, but I'm still figuring that part out. Here are the ideas:
1. Post-punk—everything from Scritti Politti, Go4, and PiL through Subway Sect, Magazine, and Swell Maps, all the way to Liars, Interpol, and Death Disco. It's basically a celebration for all the intellectuals and anyone who wants to feel that way.
2. Americana vibes—Walkabouts, Songs: Ohia, Bonnie Prince Billy, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Neutral Milk Hotel, Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banishment, Calexico, Giant Sand, Sparklehorse, Wilco, Tom Waits, Eels, Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens... a session for cowboys and indie kids alike. Yee-haw!
3. Twee as hell—definitely my personal favorite. All Girl Summer Fun Band, The Flaming Lips, Beat Happening, Talulah Gosh, Architecture in Helsinki, The Beach Boys, Television Personalities, Magnetic Fields, The Field Mice, Heavenly, The Pastels, Tullycraft, The Vaselines, Of Montreal, and Belle & Sebastian. This one's for the people who love stuffed animals, sneakers, vocal harmonies, and sunshine. Basically, for the softies.
4. The most controversial option: the ultimate Battle of the Bands session! Mule, Fugazi, Go4, Husker Du, Coltrane, Pixies, No Means No versus Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Mass... this is for the true insiders, the forum regulars, and anyone with a sense of humor.
Long live Unknown!

I think you might end up single and totally lost
and at your funeral, they'll just be playing tiny sand sounds
I told you so
I was gonna suggest a death-match eating contest, but damn, that's hard to pull off without any meat involved... we'll have to brainstorm something else. 😘
Thanks, thanks! But she was like, "Ugh, let's just stick to Messenger..." 😉
Man, I thought it sounded too good to be true, too. Especially since the guy's a vegetarian...
halijen said:it's probably some guy from the South. give us a name!
no names, no convo. don't go sneaking into the DJ booth tonight just so I can figure out who Adam Moore is
don't want things to turn out like when Isaac sings:
"DJ hot halva was spinning the tracks, I grabbed some rocks to hit his shack, asked for a favor but he said no, 'cause he was busy putting on a show..."
Man, you're acting like a total rebel. Your name is probably Mike, your last name sounds French, and my girl actually went to college with you. She even told me you were all about that straight edge vibe, wearing those little beads around your neck while trying to explain what it all meant.
