after listening to Our First Taste of Escape, i'm becoming more sympathetic to the criticism that brian's vocals are the weak link

everyone else is doing really interesting things and is having stand-out moments, even if they're fairly subtle. meanwhile he feels a little strained and uncommanding of the space

still though, i felt like it was unfair to say in Amateurs and Professionals, so i'd like to revisit it

honestly i don't feel like touching our last taste of escape at all, A&P is just so much better, individually and as a collection

i am so deeply uninterested in the penfold reunion reminiscence

just be washed up boomers and let it go, it's fine lol

you caught some brief magic when you were 20 together, i don't think you really have anything to say now

ah that makes sense

tfw u get good printers but no scrapper

tfw u get 2 tc drones and no chests

the director is praying on my downfall

i'm soft and i wish i could cry on you

it hurts that it can't be you

second person pronouns are cruel

rosier is an odd place to end the night (who are you?)

so real

twt talking bsky + atproto is kinda off the wall stupid

also the opposite(ish)

honestly i love thin snares sometimes, where the snap is prominent but missing the meat

i think its an eq thing with how older bands would have their stuff recorded but its really distinct and underutilized nowadays

i'm tired of obscurity and indirectness, and i'm tired of it's foil in the reified immediacy of transparency and vulnerability

i'm tired of masks and unmasking

penfold is so good i'm overcome with sadness it's near disgust

@kasey.cafe was at my parent's house yesterday, she can confirm i used to live like this

i have so much left to learn and that makes the world not feel so small

i regard this year pretty positively all things considered

the first year of the rest of my life, several fresh starts

i used to complain that i needed new evaluations and to develop the better dispositions and i've certainly achieved some new tastes. still in progress tho

i should sleep until a day where my brain starts working again

were u into it or

why my handle invalid tho

ITS BACK

i wasn’t lying i swear

glass beach was pretty good ngl, it’s okay if they’re redditcore

the first glass beach album was a tough act to follow and they did not deliver but that’s okay too

your worst prediction by far

i am tired

you can get off your knees now

recently cracked egg as “man on the spectrum”

my day got much better after i stopped bowing to instrumental reason

luv when i have a small phrase earworm of unknown origin and im able to track it down

obvi it’s mineral dummy

if all goes well i will be typing "greetings from chile" in your comments section within the next 5 years

malcontent without an object, dissatisfied without desire
