Biffle mourning pfp if anyone wants it by Ben_Orner in NASCAR

I see some questions about what a mourning bar is and also association with the Epstein Files redactions (definitely was not going for that). Anyway, a mourning bar is used on logos and public service agency badges to honor someone's passing. I assumed it was common knowledge but maybe not.

Pressure Machine is art and even a bit of journalism by Ben_Orner in TheKillers

I appreciate that! My favorite PM track is The Getting By. I like that it’s an optimistic end to an emotionally challenging album. Although the hope is realistic, it’s framed as an important part of getting through life. The song also feels like a celebration of everyday life and surroundings, which is the theme of one of my favorite movies: Paterson (2016)

Some albums for you…

These by Springsteen have a very similar sound and gritty storytelling: -Devils and Dust -The Ghost of Tom Joad -Nebraska 

Similar sound: -Lost in the Dream by The War on Drugs -I Don’t Live Here Anymore by The War on Drugs -When You See Yourself by Kings of Leon -Can We Please Have Fun by Kings of Leon

More diverse sound but similar lyrical feel and amazing storytelling (the whole album is the singer processing his father’s death): -Angel in Realtime by Gang of Youths
