I’ve heard a song here and there but I haven’t given them a serious listen. I know it’s the same singer and guitarist.

At the Drive-In - Literally the hot shit of late 00s and early 10s done in the mid 90s. They were so ahead of their time it’s a shame they kinda get lost being inspiration for what came later. They totally deserved to be the focal point.

Converge - I was always aware of them. They were kind of just another band at the time they were at their best. Then I really got into them this past year. I totally wish I could have fully appreciated them when we were younger. Going to one of their early shows would have been a highlight of my life.

Nine Inch Nails - I just never gave them a proper chance until the past few years. They totally deserve their reputation. Their stuff is awesome.

That’s the trick though. You will listen to all of Gizzard’s albums. Their highs are so high they get the benefit of the doubt for everything else.

To be fair, late for KGLW can be 12 albums in or 20 albums in. The scale for them is way different. Like they formed after I left highschool and none of them have died. Eric left. Yet their discography is big enough for 5 bands combined.

I went up to the darkest part of my state to do some stargazing. Stayed until roughly 300ish in the morning. My dumb ass decided to drive down the mountain to the nearest town in the darkest fucking pitch black night I ever lived through. I legit could not see more than 2 feet in front of my car. Every little twinkle of light that wasn’t my car’s high beams was a deer or a bear. I thought every dip in the road was a void to hell considering how dark it was. I spent the whole ride hunched up to the steering wheel with eyes wide open looking at nothingness in front of me. Took me two hours to go 50 miles to get off this mountain to the nearest city. By the time I got there the sun was coming up and I had no clue until the mountains actually broke into the valley. I checked into a hotel and had the best 5 hours of sleep ever. I’ve been back there a couple times and I stay the whole night now.

Not getting along kinda helps but for the most part yeah.

Yes because there’s 5 different people not counting a baby that all have different interests in my house. The only time we really come together to watch TV is for sports.

Lemmy/Piefed is starting to feel like reddit when it was most enjoyable. Actual communities gathering around common interests and real conversations around those topics. Moderation isn’t too far into the curated accepted response only zone that reddit fell into even before the API debacle. Meaning if you have a disagreement or differing opinion with someone you have to hash it out instead of the insta banhammer many subreddits implemented.

Also I kinda like that there’s a diverse age range of people here. Seems moreso than on reddit but that may be because there’s less of us altogether. So age stuff sticks out more.

In the span of like 2 weeks I discovered a bunch of new music. I never get why people cling onto the stereotype that you stop listening to new music once you hit a certain age. I’m finding new shit all the time.

Die Spitz - Doom/Punk/Grunge band from Texas. They have really wild shows.

Tropical Fuck Storm - Aussie Rock & Roll. Kind of a sad boy druggy aesthetic.

Earth Tongue - New Zealand classic Heavy Metal with Ozzy and Satan in mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7qUjVRe8fs

Spite - Deathcore. Kinda boring old school Myspace era stuff to be honest. Takes me back to 2007 when I was a wee lad though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7qUjVRe8fs

Am I the crusty Deathmetal head now?

Buy a house far far away and leave this cesspool I currently call home.

Don’t turn the work computers connected to the giant LCD screens outside in public on. They could display something not meant to be seen in public. That’s how I learned a co-worker looks at porn on his work computer. Co-worker chewed me out. He brought up the porn. I never went from angry/embarrassed to cracking up in my head so fast.

I am. I grew up around drug and alcohol addiction. Tried it. Hated it. Decided none of this was for me. Drugs is easy. Everybody in my house usually scampers away like roaches to do drugs. Alcohol is very much a family thing. Can’t watch a game without someone screaming shots or drink. I usually end up hiding in my room.

Coffee makes me nauseous and I’m not trying to feel like I need to shit before I got something to do. Plus the crash is way worse than the energy its supposedly supposed to give me.
