My only concern here is the level of his pain and suffering.

a mixed media collage i made featuring a black man, in a fur-collared coat and hat, with a cigar in his mouth and holding a steering wheel, superimposed over a background of old photos of young children from the early 1900s, graffiti, and torn paper textures. nina theda black.

Big fan of fanzines, Brenda Sweeney’s art (see orange/black abstract brutalism in background) and her taste for indiepop and 60s nooks and crannies - so Here’s Where You Belong, is entirely correct. You? brensweeney.bigcartel.com

Indeed. There’s longer ones here but I liked this mainly for the sentiment matched with how “exterminate” ends it suitably abruptly.

Same! Still would never dare to attempt something this long.

Ditto. Same applies whether physical or streaming - how long to give it before “filing away” never to return? As teenagers we didn’t have these considerations - ya bought, ya gonna bloody play it over and over. 😄

Think about this a lot too. Difficult call nowadays: bail when things don’t click immediately or carry on and waste precious listening hours in hope gold reveals itself? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, quite a few. Resolution next year is to go to fewer gigs at venues where the sound/atmosphere isn’t worth the increased expense. Most venues larger than 400 capacity tbh.
