    Lowkey the greatest rock song of the 70s, by the era's most cerebral band. This colossal track lulls you in with a gorgeous main riff and vocals, only hinting at the tension to come. Then before you know it, you're entranced in an unnerving 13/8 musical meditation that takes its sweet time before bursting forth in an incredible crescendo.

    Sit back and relax, cup of tea in hand. Toe is a band that most people can fuck with. I chose this track in particular for its almost hypnotic riff. In usual post-rock fashion, the riff gets repeated ad nauseum while slowly building on layers of instrumentation until it reaches a fever pitch that'll have you feeling that being alive is okay sometimes.

    Let's continue scaring the hoes. Scaring The Hoes (the album) is, in someone's wise words, Watch The Throne for autistic people. And the title track? Abrasive, but with an undeniable groove. You might scare the hoes with this one, but some hoes are... worth... scaring for? idk.

    Listen if you like experimental hip hop or are repulsive to women.

    I realize that arguing with people over sports on social media is way more fulfilling than arguing over real issues.

    You can just say the craziest shit and someone will wish death upon you, but it's all fun and impersonal.

    I got called a slur for saying Shaq looked more like Jermaine O'Neal in the 06 playoffs in response to someone trying to diminish Dwyane Wade's accomplishments.

    The Football War, also known as the Soccer War or the 100 Hour War, was a brief military conflict fought between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969. Existing tensions between the two countries coincided with rioting during a 1970 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

    The war began on 14 July 1969 when the Salvadoran military launched an attack against Honduras. The Organization of American States (OAS) negotiated a cease-fire on the night of 18 July, hence its nickname. Salvadoran troops were withdrawn in early August.

    Daily music recommendation #8 SPOOKY EDITION :devilish:

    The Spiderland album is a spooky masterpiece, but this track features one of the most spine-chilling riffs in rock music. It takes full advantage of the odd meter and dissonant intervals, creating a track that creeps under your skin. Like a spider. Land.

    Listen to Spiderland. It's so good and unlike anything else.

    Question: Are there actually any good anitubers left?

    I feel the days of anitube are over. It's mostly culture war slop, shortform bullshit, or guys talking about manga they like with the depth of a snail trail.

    The only people still making good analysis content are like, trans people talking about the most niche shit imaginable.

    Maybe I'm not looking in the right places?

    Busted my ass off to get my short stories done in time for the competition, only for them to extend the deadline by almost a month a day after the initial deadline :blob_thor::blob_thor::blob_thor:

    One of the emo-flavored pop punk acts of the late 90s that failed to truly break into the mainstream. But unlike other bands of their ilk, The Get Up Kids do not suck. Holiday has incredible energy from the get-go and a chorus that takes you right back to seeing your highschool crush kiss someone under the bleachers. It's the pinnacle of pop punk.

    Inspired by Carrie Mae Weems' Kitchen Table series, this shit's absolute fire. Gorgeous, maximalist instrumentation over which Dixon and Guevara deliver some of the most poignant bars in hip-hop, touching on the bonds formed and broken between family. The hook will be stuck in your head for days. Listen if you like "lyrical" or jazz rap at all.

    Moving away from rock, here is one of the most gorgeous songs ever. And uhh, I can't think of anything else. I'm operating on less than 2 hours of sleep. Listen if you like pretty sounds and soft British men.

    R.I.P Nick Drake.

    I had a coffee before going to bed for the night, thinking I'd be okay. Ended up needing almost 3 hours to fall asleep.

    A throwback to the greatest English-language anime opening ever (Yes, better than Duvet). A swirling, dreamy track that feels like the moment of enlightenment just before giving up. Check out the rest of the album too, it's full of gorgeous symphonic pop-rock with anthemic hooks and depressing lyrics that only could've come out of Glasgow.

    I had a nightmare where I invited Charlie Kirk to speak at my campus and folks were clapping like seals for the bastard.
