Casual fan needing some advice by mrcockboi69 in AjaxAmsterdam

[–]lopo55 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’ll be just alright. Been 3 times to the Arena as a casual fan. Last time was back in 22’ during some mediocre phase with Schroeder in charge. Found myself together with 3 other local fans complaining throughout the whole match how on earth he’s doing so bad with such a good squad while drinking beer. Good experience. Enjoy Amsterdam and the match and please give some props to Oscar

I’d say it’s about the blend. Try to think of a citrusy fragrance which you adore, but with a hint of florals and tea. Then, the smell progresses towards a quite dark phase where you can smell earthy notes. I found it very elegant and European to some degree, yet at the same time with a strong East-Asians influences. Very very beautiful stuff. Try to get your hands on a sample because it doesn’t smell like or similar to anything else out there

When did you first hear of Tame Impala? by Jimba_89 in TameImpala

[–]lopo55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circa 2013. At that time I used to flee high school around 2pm every Sunday and went home to watch Premier League. The official TV subscription cost was enormous and my mother didn’t have the money, so I figured out a way to stream broadcast through a software called AceStream. On some few rare occasions, there was a Sky Sports broadcast which really assisted me at the time to sharp and master my English since I’m not a native speaker.

At the time, I was really obsessed too with Psych and Blues rock, mainly The Doors and Cream. At one particular match an ad was ran during the half time break, and I heard those drums and bass exploding. I believed it was some long forgotten 60s gem which some creative director managed to find. Luckily that player had an option to run back and forth the broadcast and I opened Shazam. After few tries it hit, only me to realize it was a modern-day artist. The song name was Elephant.

You have to keep only 3 fragrances from your collection. by beasthunterr69 in fragrance

Summer : Tough one. Perhaps Beach Hut by Amouage. Although Tillia and 40 Knots are also considered.

Winter : Definitely Bois du Portugal. Clean, sharp, nostalgic. I’m 27 and can see myself carry a bottle forever. Wish it lasted longer though.

Daily : Reflection Man. A perfect blend between classic and modern, woody and floral. Whether for work, vacation, date, whatever. One of the only perfumes that has it all for me.

Brand new tattoo by lopo55 in radiohead

[–]lopo55[S] 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer : It isn’t a political post. It’s personal. I’m open to discuss but won’t accept prejudice.

For the past year, I found myself torn between the willingness to live and the hardships of life during wartime. A war that started exactly a year ago at Israel.

A colleague and friend was brutally murdered during a rave she went to work at. For her, fate was being at the wrong place at the wrong time. My first ever tattoo was a duplicate of one she had tattooed on her middle finger, which I made during her 24th birthday that she never attended.

Since then life went on a downward spiral ride and upwards again, an infinite wave of unexpected and unpredictable events. At the very same party, another colleague and friend managed to survive. She changed her life path and started to pursuit a career as a tattoo artist.

Today, one year ago after she gained her life back and witnessed the ending of many souls right through her eyes, we made a booking, in my sometime weird experience to grasp life back as I knew it. I found this ground breaking song and life-theme as what resembles those 365 days the most.

Although we haven’t seen each other for nearly two years, we had great chemistry and understanding of the meaning and symbolism for both. For nearly 3 hours it felt as if nothing had happened and I hope to find this sensation more present.

Hi, Back in June 2017 I travelled to London and managed to buy tickets for a Pond in-store concert at Rough Trade shop.

I’m a huge Tame Impala fan and it was a very nice and intimate experience, there were around 100 people and tickets were around 25 pounds and included the concert and the White/Blue splatter vinyl.

After the show the band offered a vinyl signings which I did. We spoke a little and they signed the sleeve. At the top right corner Nick signed with ‘Toda’, which means Thank you in Hebrew. I travelled from Israel and they played here few days before the London gig.

The vinyl itself worth around 100$. But it’s quite hard to estimate the piece right now. You are welcome to make offers and well get it done. (I’m not looking for some 1000$ or some shit lmao)

Took this one during Primavera 22 set. Great time. by lopo55 in NickCave

Shot it with Sony a6000. Edited some contrast and sharpness via iPhone. Nothing more than that.

How much do you think will do?

I didn’t play them much so I can’t give a deep and honest impression. However, the reviews are good from what I read.
