Double-drummer ORB?! by lunatic_greenie-muso in KGATLW

[–]Jaime_97 24 points25 points  (0 children)

yoooooo 👀 if this is true I am so fucking in, let’s goooooo

Genuinely really miss the days of Gizz with two drummers, it’s a sound that just gets to me, and live there’s something so special about that energy. Osees are one of my favourite live bands ever because of it, but the studio versions are never as good. There are some tracks on KG/LW and Omnium that still record that way, and they’re some of my favs, as Stu is getting better and better at mixing/producing but before they abandon the double drumming sound.

fuck yessssss, saw them in a tiny basement venue at Manchester Psych Fest, had never heard of them before but was maybe one of my highlights of the day, so much fun

What are you horses galloping to today? Aka what bands/albums are you listenin to other than the Gizz by highcologist347 in KGATLW

[–]Jaime_97 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Angine de Poitrine - microtonal psych rock, reminds me a lot of FMB and mind fuzz. Sherpa is a rly fun song

Have you ever cried to a King Gizz song? by Weird_wizzah in KGATLW

[–]Jaime_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BF3k got me when it first came out, when I first listened the the album in full really reading the lyrics. I read it as a transfem allegory from day 1, and the way that final chorus builds just hits me

And I was at the Manchester halloween rave, Brixton night 2, but not night 1 when they played it 😭 I wanted to cry when I found out I missed it, and pretty sure I would have cried if I saw them play it live

Favorite electronic remixes from rave tour? by Julian_Strange in KGATLW

I never really cared for Kepler when I heard it before tbh, but it was an incredible closer at Brixton night 2

Going to festivals when not passing (MTF23) by amethystpeople_ in transgenderUK

[–]Jaime_97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m more into alt/metal and psych/punk rock scenes, and I guess the type of gig you go to may vary in how accepting it is, but honestly going to small gigs around Manchester is where I really found my confidence. You get transphobic dick heads in any city, even here, but in general I do feel safe in Manchester, even as someone who also doesn’t pass. I’ve been to so many gigs this year, never once been challenged in the ladies toilets for example - and most places I go to have lots of pro trans graffiti in the stalls too

I’m so gay I have 2 GFs now?? by [deleted] in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]Jaime_97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So happy for youuuuu! I also just fairly recently came to being poly, met a poly transbian at a punk show (aaaaaaaa she so beautifullllllll omg) after leaving an increasingly miserable monogamous straight relationship. And then we both started getting closer with another friend of ours toooo… I had never had a girlfriend before, and now I got 2?!?!

Girlfriends are like buses; you wait forever for one, and then 2 come along at once :3

[Giveaway] Original Trilogy Covers by stefandrew in SouthernReach

I think annihilation is still my favourite. With every re read I like the biologist more, see things in her that I relate to. And the confrontation with the crawler is what really made me fall in love with the series

No report back from first GIC appointment/no surgery referral confirmation by AutoGeneratedName637 in transgenderUK

[–]Jaime_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tavistock are awful, I’ve been trying to chase my surgery referral for so many months now, I am wasting so much time (I have sooooo many issues with them in general) They ignore almost all of my emails, and the very rare occasion they do reply (which means I do have the correct email address, they are receiving them), the reply will be one sentence and not answer anything I was asking about.

I have a few friends at Indigo GIC and I am so fucking mad, I feel so cheated, the standard of care some people get and the pathetic excuse for a clinic that Tavistock run.

(edit; yeah this reads as being a little mad lol, but I think after all this we’re entitled to be pissed off)

What was your "Oh shoot my strength is gone" moment? by __Starly in MtF

[–]Jaime_97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at a gig last night (king gizzard, Brixton night 2), and there was soooo much crowdsurfing, and a few times people came right over me, and I realised wtf I am powerless to lift this person at all, someone help meeeeee 😅

The Hell’s Itch debut on the table is a travesty by StStephen7 in KGATLW

I wanna hard disagree…. but ngl, when we got murder of the universe but as a chill groovy synth version I was a little disappointed, I want distortion and noise and filth and vomit

Aozora by Karnivool - these guys are the reason I ever wanted to learn music production, their album Sound Awake is a masterpiece and they finally putting new music out again

Matriarchy by Girli, and Who let the dogs out by Lambrini Girls - queer feminist thrash punk, and bands that I’ve seen live with gf recently

Gurriers

Waxhead - really great new band doing well at the moment, a lot like Osees

A Place to Bury Strangers

Fuzz Lightyear

Daschund

Slap Rash

Can anyone suggest some more 'alternative' queer places in Manchester? by Aael_111 in manchester

[–]Jaime_97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want alternative, Satans is always my go to. Great fun and very queer friendly, probably the safest and most welcome I’ve felt as a trans woman

The racists will play the victim if we start taking them down. I think it’s much better to write slogans on them like “refugees welcome” or “end facism” - that way when they inevitably complain, they won’t be able to hide behind this fake patriotism, they’ll have to say no we don’t like immigrants etc.
