dyed my hair in a motel void met The coroner AT The Dreamgate Frontier He took my hand , and Said
"I'll help you, boy
If you really want to disappear"

(Instead of time, there will be lateness
And let forever be delayed)

Such a beautiful way to wrap up a stunning album.

The other day, I spent twelve straight hours on duty with two adult autistic individuals who were brought into our care through an emergency intervention a few weeks back—both of them older than me. When I arrived in the morning, he was just weeping for his mother. By the end of the shift, we were all completely exhausted, the two of us physically and him mentally. 🙄 🙂

Paradise Lost - True Belief

There's no way a song about unrequited love doesn't end up sitting right at the top of a best-of list—it's practically inevitable. Honestly, whenever I catch that line, "It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter," it just hits me right in the gut.

Don't tell me > is your favorite Dylan record too? Is everyone just getting drunk on that violin? Honestly, I don't know a single person who doesn't claim > is his best—aside from me.
To me, that album feels the least "Dylan-esque"—which is actually what he is at his core. It's still an absolute masterpiece, though.

But then again, who can really say they know Dylan? The guy is basically made of liquid—he's here one second and gone the next.

Speaking of being fluid, he was the one who described his sound as mercurial back on >.

One of those genius moves that still blows my mind.

Hey! :F

So, a friend just clued me in yesterday... we were reading the comments under the video and couldn't figure out why all these intense brazilians were losing their minds. Turns out the video is a direct nod to some obscure Brazilian meme that only they get—something from some trashy national TV show from ten years ago 🙏 yet the band is American, right? It’s totally unclear why they decided to reference and recreate that in their video.
Naturally, I had to track down the original video 🤣
I felt a strange sense of kinship with Brazilians through this little pop culture moment! It’s almost like if someone here took a clip from Malnar's nightmare and dropped it into a music video.

Anyway, I like the band—plenty of diverse influences, but everything fits together well. The track above gives off Idles vibes, but this one is excellent; the vocalist reminds me of Cave.

wow, going from total absurdity to something strangely profound. they're actually pretty interesting

I know a guy! :S My old landlord used to rip me off constantly regarding the water heater in my last apartment. If you decide to go looking again... 😁 maybe it still works

definitely. it's grim.

Gorillaz have become one of those bands that truly stands the test of time, wouldn't you agree?

Dennis Hall41 said:At a solid—at times even exceptional—concert they played at the local arena, Fleet Foxes obviously didn't perform what is likely the most beautiful song of their career. Instead, they gave us a bunch of pretentious, rambling filler from their current Crack-Up album (though even Helplessness blues wasn't neglected here).
I suppose some hipster from Pitchfork told them they needed to be more "multi-layered" in that specific track.
They did throw out maybe 10-15 absolute gems from their catalog—half of which are from the debut or the EP—but that unplayed Kept Woman would leave almost everything else in the dust.

To me, this last concert sounded pretty rough, though the first one was perfection.🙏 Perhaps I just had too high expectations because of the first one.

I have a lame excuse for not following along—Bluetooth wouldn't connect to my speakers after getting home from the office, so we just stuck to the phone for BBC6. :F

Oh yeah, just look at that KEXP performance 😁

Thanks truly 🤣

Agreed—that track absolutely wrecks me. Every single time that intro starts, I get chills; after that? Better not even go there. :S

Well
guess it’s time to make up for it The first remixes are coming

Back at it again tonight. The concert.No way—just a stray dog? ...

This sort of thing just slipped through the cracks—Dennis was actually great. 😁

dy says: He was practicing social distancing long before it became a thing.

By the way, Dennis Hall41—you still there? ga You hear that?

Was just chatting with my colleague Inconna about Forever Changes, and man—that totally woke me up. Just thinking about that masterpiece... one of the wildest, most brilliant tracks ever made.

Drew Lewis2 said:btw Dennis Hall41, you heard him yet?

Nah, but it’s pretty solid—honestly would be even better if it wasn't just a demo. It definitely needs some more production work.

Kinda reminds me of this guy.

Forever Changes ^^

Haha, even I have to admit there's some truth to that—though personally, I wouldn't change a thing about how things are currently 😁
.
Welp

Alright, alright... that was excellent

Did you hear about Delapse? 😁

Absolutely unbombastic.

EDIT: They’re fine. It’s honestly hilarious watching the same small group of people constantly circling one another—we really do have quite the scene here, don't we? And there are plenty of them.

Listening to everything from 1:30 onwards makes me miserable. I don't have a mansion on a hillside or a $100k high-end audio setup to properly blast 😁
