I am in this weird place where I think Linger is one of the most gorgeous songs ever written yet really really dislike the Cranberries in general

Actually no, I love Dreams too, partly 'cos that was on MSCL as well :smiley:

Psych folk, or more rock stuff?

oh man xxx

nah, don’t beat yourself up for feeling low.

I haven’t been through what you’ve been through, but I still struggle with other kinds of loss, and loneliness too.

same goes for not feeling like I have things to look forward to (apart from the thing I planned today, hadn’t had anything at all on the horizon for ages).

do you play music at all? I’ve beeb trying to edge back towards picking my guitar up and maybe singing a bit again. felt theraputic.

psych rock i’d lazily say. lots of echo, big muff, great drumming, meg baird’s vocals…

I have chatted about how awesome it is with someone here, can’t remember if it was you or not. I think it might have been though? Still haven’t started my DVD rewatch yet

#293

Two new bands to check tomorrow then

#294

Most likely was haha can’t go more than few weeks without bringing it up

Keep being tempted to get “Go now, go!” as a tattoo in memory of the intro theme …

thank you x

It sounds like you’ve been through a really rough time, i really hope you’re doing well just now. glad you had something in the calendar for today at least!

I’m not musical, though I so wish I was. I’ve had a guitar of some sort for most of my adult life but it’s just not something I’m very good at. Used to know a few decent licks/solo snippets back in the early 00s when I was a student, but barely touched the thing in a decade. I got an electric piano for buttons a couple of years ago off the local Sales & Wants FB page, but haven’t really found the time to sit down and teach myself how to play. Well, I suppose I’ve had the time, I just haven’t used it properly

#296

Perfect

#297

ah, that’s okay. I mean, it doesn’t feel all that natural for me either :upside_down_face: but trying to learn piano could be good?

do you have other creative pursuits you could use as a good conduit for your emotions?

Julia Holter was who I got super nervous when talking to (partly bc I was a bit worried that my car had been parked illegally for the whole gig). Just rambled totally incoherently and was mortified for about a month

yeah, usually, and I think the problem is that they’ve temporarily abandoned me. hardly done any reading and listening to music compared to normal since the March lockdown started, dunno why. Writing is my main outlet but a combination of finishing a big project and still waiting to hear feedback on it, plus starting new job, has meant I’ve done nothing since summer and it’s really starting to get to me. I lack time, but when I do have time nothing’s coming at the moment so it’s frustrating. partly worried I spend too much time compulsively surfing here (and elsewhere) and posting things nobody wants to read instead of doing something creative, but creativity isn’t coming anyway and i appreciate the company so dunno what to do really :man_shrugging:

deep down I know my music player plays albums in strict alphabetical order unless I tell it otherwise, but sometimes it starts playing something so perfect I can’t help but smile. Gloomy Ella has just finished listening to the new eels album “Earth To Dora”, so up next is The Wildhearts’ “Earth vs. The Wildhearts” :slight_smile:
