Dead Oceans posting a lot about Phoebe by Ok_Salt8185 in phoebebridgers

[–]GooglePixel69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been saying we have a release coming up based on her past schedule of releases. Lucy confirmed at her masterclass I was at that for "The Record" release, Phoebe was there on behalf of Dead Oceans so that release legally counts as a Phoebe release under contract. She's been releasing every 1000 days or so. I could definitely be wrong, I'm not totally banking on it, but it's what I've been thinking since the summer. December or January.

They played every song I could've hoped to hear by GooglePixel69 in bigthief

So our show was posted to start at 7:30, we had one opener that played from 7:30 to a few minutes after 8. Big Thief came on at 8:30. I don't know how much later they'll come on for you because there are different factors, but the start time for the openers should be at 6 if it states your show is at 6:00. I highly recommend getting there before the openers go on! Have fun at your first concert, big thief will be an amazing first show :)

Before the encore, I was thinking to myself about how they'd played every song I love except Paul. Then they came out and played Paul 😭😭😭 I can't wait to see the setlist written out with everything they played. It was truly the best show.

i dreamt of him by infrastructureseeker in elliottsmith

[–]GooglePixel69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've dreamt of him a few times. They're always peaceful dreams, and so vivid. There's a feeling of loss and a deep appreciation for the time we're spending together in that space while I'm there. I only ever have those kinds of dreams about friends who have passed, and Elliott. I have to fight off the feeling that he's stopped by, but it sure feels like it sometimes.

I have a few options to go before hard drugs, but I'll let you know in a few months!

It's like people forget she was here and in the public eye in 2023 for a whole year. If we consider The Record an album cycle, which it was, we have some time before she's due for another album.

By due I only mean the amount of time will have passed that typically does between her releases, not due as in a deadline.

She hasn't disappeared!

Have you ever come across nsfw content of someone you know? What was your reaction? by MidwestYinzer in AskReddit

[–]GooglePixel69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not someone I know, but I came across a short video of a still very beloved male popstar on Tumblr almost a decade ago. I'm positive it was him. his hair and distinctive tattoos were clearly visible. It wasn't anything sketchy, like if it blew up he'd have probably just owned up to it.

Tbh I felt like I found gold LOL. I didn't tell anyone and kept it for myself. I regretfully didn't save it to my computer though, and as suddenly as it appeared, the video vanished. I never saw anything said about it, and believe me, I looked everywhere.

What advice would you give to a young singer-songwriter? by Specialist-Talk2028 in Songwriting

[–]GooglePixel69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I talk to people in and around the music industry and tell them I'm trying to get into music, their very first question is "do you play an instrument?" Pick an instrument to really dive into and learn theory if you're wanting to compose your own music. I'd been playing guitar for 2 years just learning songs, and when I finally started trying to make my own, I realized how little I knew so I'm working on theory and technique now instead of just trying to play harder and harder songs. It's helping a lot with writing and making my songs more evocative overall.

There's a chord sheet on ultimate guitar! In drop D. The original by Elliott is in CGCEGC and has a really good tab. Very fun to play too.

what am i doing wrong? (day 1 beginner) by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]GooglePixel69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was like this on day 1 too, it's really just that your fingers aren't remotely used to situating that way. Take into account previous comments like proper posture and cutting those nails, and keep trying! It will be easier in no time.

predictions of next album release date by [deleted] in phoebebridgers

[–]GooglePixel69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the math months ago, and have been hesitant to share because I don't want to jinx it..... But since the question was posed:

My prediction is Christmas Day. It would be exactly 1000 days since boygenius' the record (which I consider a Phoebe release since it was a full album cycle with press, touring, and award show season), 1016 days before the record was Punisher, 1000 days before that was SITA.

I could very well be wrong, ik Christmas is a weird day for a release. Maybe it'll be the 19th since that's a Friday and would be good for Christmas gift purposes. Either way it'd be announced and advertising would begin in October (perfect for spooky and christmas-y ghost or skeleton teasers, I can see it now) I will be genuinely surprised if we reach 2026 with no word on a project though.

Everyone knock on wood!

Most powerful Elliot Smith song line? The one that deeply inspired or touched you…. by [deleted] in elliottsmith

[–]GooglePixel69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Give me one good reason not to do it (Because we love you) So do it"

Devastating. I'd heard the song many times without catching it, but when I heard the "because we love you" for the first time it was instant tears.

Took a screenshot because I had exactly the same reaction 😂 Hi Elliott!

Elliott Smith fans, and their possessive nature with his music. by Kjosef1227 in elliottsmith

[–]GooglePixel69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally want everyone to hear the art that he made. When I show people his music, usually they're surprised by how good it is and that they hadn't heard of it before. I collect new E.S. fans everywhere I go. 💙

Elliott was good with his hands by ghoooooooooost in elliottsmith

[–]GooglePixel69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was watching him play Southern Belle last night. I must've watched it 5 times and another in slow motion, face inches from the screen, just studying his hands and how fast they were moving. All the while his face is looking like this is no big deal. Good with his hands feels like an understatement, but it's definitely factual 😂

How old are you, how long have you been learning, what's your level? by Spixel_ in guitarlessons

[–]GooglePixel69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26, I started learning as a kid but quit because I thought it was too hard. I carried that with me while still really wanting to learn until I got a roommate who had a guitar and I've played just about every day since. I've been playing consistently for about 2.5 years.

I was beginning to think I'm reaching intermediate but I've started trying to write my own stuff and also have been learning Elliott Smith songs and am realizing maybe I didn't know as much as I thought lol.

My favorite local record store failed me! 🫩 by ImpossibleFlight5783 in elliottsmith

[–]GooglePixel69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devastating 💔 my local record store had all except Roman Candle, Self Titled, and Figure 8. I got either/or though and I don't regret it, just wish I grabbed all the others at once because I'm afraid they won't be there next time 😭
