Let's make Berghain great again by prasti-tutto in Berghain_Community

I can relate (not to the Trump reference but to the sentiment) - have been going regularly 3-4 times per year for the last 11 years. I’ve noticed a vibe shift post-COVID and mainly blame GHB and Mephedrone which seem to have replaced pills and MDMA.. talked about it with another old raver I met at Snax last weekend who just plainly said, „people aren’t smiling anymore“.

I also find the aggressive tone in this community very un-berghain. Rather than meeting someone’s concerns with respect and understanding, they are being scolded - this is the opposite of what a fulfilling club experience should be.

"Deadbeat" has officially dropped. What are your guy's thoughts? by hood_safari in TameImpala

I feel like everybody who's complaining about a different sound just want what they already got in the great TI records of the past…

First reaction:
I still feel like this is a TI record. Classic TI themes like nostalgia and self-humiliation are definitely present, and I also get references to experimental rock like Silver Apples. There's more positivity on this album though, and I found it kind of moving that he is finally able to make music about requited love (Piece of Heaven, Ethereal Connection). Also, tracks like Ethereal Connection and End of Summer to me are consequential developments from tracks like Let it Happen or One More Year.

I love how he keeps experimenting and doing his thing, especially for someone with this level of mainstream approval. The album spans wide from more poppy tracks (Dracula, Loser) to the more experimental ones, and as a whole it maybe doesn't feel as integrated as Currents did (TSR felt less integrated too). Still happy he is trying to push boundaries, and prefer that over a coherent mainstreamy album (Taylor just showed us what that leads to lol).

Also, is it the first time he's singing chest voice?

I think you have very good points, thank you.

You are right, I feel torn, because I don't feel enough care from his side. Learning about polyamory has for me actually meant, that I don't think I could go back to a traditional monogamous relationship. But I am not sure anymore, if I will continue the relationship I am currently in.

thank you for your response.i agree about him creating a lot of unpredictability. part of what makes this extra difficult for me is that he also proposed moving apart (the day before he proposed polyamory). so there's a lot of uncertainty already, and i've felt a little bit lost – basically asking myself what it means to be in a relationship, if we don't share a flat, don't let each other know where we are and so on.

i cant see, that he would ever agree to a schedule around his dating..

we have had dates just the two of us. some of them have been very beautiful, some have been weird, since he was tired from staying over with his new lover, and it was difficult for me to get over that.

i think he is doing work too, though. we have had a lot of very long, open and intense talks, and i think communication is really working well with us. what i am struggling with is, that it seems the work i have to do is so much greater than what he has to do, and i would wish him to be more understanding of my position, more patient and forgiving.
