listened to my first audiobook in years, probably since elementary school, and this is a podcast...im getting the main narrative but the nuance of the prose gets lost a little ://

when james brown shrieks and goes oooohhhhhaaaaawwwwugh and things of that nature? and then says things like "if i love you, my life will be ruined?" that rocks. emote > say thing > emote it's foolproof

really digging this couch slut record, it's insane. saw it described as metal but it sounds like screamo to me (more to my tastes anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

thinking about sst records and the ethos of originality at all costs...

dreaming of a world where your account can get a little overdrawn but no overdraft fees

the dopamine rush of positive feedback after a discogs order is difficult to describe but maybe "excessive" does the job

things ive read lately:
-hangsaman by Shirley jackson
-all the lovers in the night by mieko kawakami

currently reading:
-the collected tales of Nikolai gogol

gonna make this a running thread since I have a library card again

david berman and michael stipe having the same birthday feels so right...can we get lyricists and frontppl in guitar music that love language unselfconsciously again? im wistful...

head so congested i cant even fire off a stupid thought bc no thoughts are coming...to be sick and not allowed to get silly w it? cruel

saw a news article about how israel "used the wrong bomb" bc it was more destructive than intended which feels insane as an admission not least of all bc israel has admitted that collateral damage is ok by them if it serves their purpose...hell world

is there a "music bluesky"? i dont mind posting about r.e.m. to no one or w/e but id like to see more of it from other ppl and there doesnt seem to be an easy way to search for it (talking smart randos, not paid professionals iykwim)

feel like we're in a good place to get a wave of accessibly ugly guitar bands in the vein of jesus lizard, slint, shellac, etc -- anti-vibey or aggressively vibey in reaction to enforced softness -- but the maladjusted ppl are into downers and pitch shifting instead of bludgeoning repetition :/

i miss having an app where i can act up and say the dumbest shit ever
