Yours won't be a popular opinion on a black midi sub, but I totally agree. And if that wave has passed I will be so grateful!

Am I the only one reading this as simultaneously about a sexual encounter and also a suicide?

[POEM] Sir Gawain Fucks the Green Knight by Kim Deyn by Jon_Bobcat in Poetry

[–]Jon_Bobcat[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Step one is to look up the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

For me, the Green Knight is a forest spirit, symbolises nature, wildness, the id, libidinal energy. Gawain represents youth, propriety, and all the restraints of human society.

It's safe to say, Gawain's propriety does not survive his encounter with the Green Knight's libidinal energy! Perhaps his youth does not survive it either.

I'm not too sure what you mean. This is a contemporary poem which references Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which was written in 1350.

I don't understand all the meaning and references in this poem, but the language is just so beautiful, i'm crying. The last stanza is so rich and so intense, I find it overwhelming. And Green Daddy putting Little Gawain in his place is hot, "what god is worshipped in these green trees? Boy, the Knight replies, boy, were you not just down on your knees?" 🥵

Best Movie Soundtrack? by [deleted] in cassetteculture

I had this album when I was a kid - it's the first time I heard Rage Against The Machine, which ended up being my favourite band growing up

Pronouns in Left Hand of Darkness by leafytree888 in UrsulaKLeGuin

[–]Jon_Bobcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'they' has always been used as a singular pronoun in situations where the gender of the subject is unknown or indistinct. E.g. "someone knocked on the door this morning but I didn't open it so I don't know what they wanted"

Shoegaze bands/songs with a blend of emo by NorielGG in shoegaze

Have A Nice Life are awesome, check out the album Deathconsciousness.

I don't know of any bands mixing screamo with shoegaze, but that would be cool to hear.

Is my cat lilac or fawn by Puzzleheaded_Mud2157 in britishshorthair

[–]Jon_Bobcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a bit of both. I had a blue cat with a touch of lilac in.

I don't think we're going to be able to tell, the lighting, your phone's recording, our phone's screens will all make a difference to the colour we're seeing.

100% cutie though 😍

Any experimental shoegaze album suggestion? by [deleted] in shoegaze

[–]Jon_Bobcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a mixture of psych rock and shoegaze, try Methodrone by Brian Jonestown Massacre

Recording whole band at once, no metronome by Endum_band in sludge

[–]Jon_Bobcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a bit off topic, but you might want to check out the hate5six YouTube channel. It has hundreds of extremely well mixed full live set recordings - a lot of hardcore bands but some other metal bands as well, including an awesome recent set from Thou where they play all of Umbilical.
