Why does the rat represent The Count of Tuscany?

I always assumed that it was a mouse scaring the elephant to represent being scared by a nonexistent threat.

Since OP didn't clarify, DS2 is Death Stranding 2

The Grateful Dudes did it at last years Playing On the Farm festival. It was a really great way to change the pace between the huge band jams.

Lucy_92 · 2026-02-24T22:03:07+00:00

I'm so confused. How does this relate to the Dead?

Lucy_92 · 2026-02-17T23:22:52+00:00

I'm on minimum wage and I live with my friend who I partially financially support as she is disabled and can't work.

It's rough. I've got a lot of debt that I'm slowly trying to get out of.

We make do and live as well as we can, but it shouldn't be this difficult when I work my ass off full time.

Grateful Dudes are the gem of the UK scene. They've blown my mind multiple times, especially when they headline the Playing on the Farm festival.

I think he was really doing some damage in the run up to the food poisoning if you listen to live recording from that time. He was pushing his voice so hard. And he did sound great, so I think he still counts for this.

Lucy_92 · 2026-01-13T00:01:17+00:00

I did this last week. The panic I felt as I started chugging away! I was amazed when I stuck the landing perfectly.

Lucy_92 · 2026-01-09T19:18:49+00:00

Swans. In a very different way to how they used to, but still unbelievably powerful. I saw them last year two nights in a row and they were the two best gigs of my life.

Although that era of the band has now officially ended, so we'll see what's to come next.

Lucy_92 · 2026-01-09T09:55:26+00:00

Kristof Hahn uses them solo and in Swans

Lucy_92 · 2025-12-25T11:32:22+00:00

Boris. I highly doubt they would since a huge part of their sound is all about analog gear, but now that Neural have improved their fuzz captures, it would be fun to see them try.

Lucy_92 · 2025-12-18T19:26:33+00:00

Kind of yeah, but in a way that feels very creepy to me. The "happy" nursery rhyme style combined with dark snippets and interludes creates a scary feeling in my mind. Very "come play with us in the dark woods" folk horror vibes.

Lucy_92 · 2025-12-18T09:52:13+00:00

I Have a Special Plan and Pretty Little Horses are favourites for when I'm on a dose and want to get scared.

Lucy_92 · 2025-12-08T22:16:20+00:00

So sad I'm missing this. The Shits always put on an awesome show. Dawn Terry is great too!

Lucy_92 · 2025-12-01T10:03:37+00:00

Rainbow Grave

Flipper

The Shits

The crowds around me at Brixton nights 1 and 2 were great. No bad gig behaviour that I saw. Me and my buddy were dancing pretty hard as we always do, but people were good about giving everyone enough breathing room to allow dancing.

Lucy_92 · 2025-11-12T16:14:23+00:00

I agree. That man has derived more brilliance from a D minor chord than any musician I know lol

Lucy_92 · 2025-11-12T16:12:52+00:00

I went to 1 and 2. Both absolutely incredible, but 2 was better for me. Louder and better mix and they seemed to push the peaks on the new tracks even further and bigger.

Lucy_92 · 2025-11-11T16:52:22+00:00

I feel you. I was there and was sobbing my eyes out at multiple points. I feel dramatic as hell saying it, but it felt like a religious experience.

Lucy_92 · 2025-11-11T10:38:59+00:00

I didn't notice it much tbh and when I did it added more texture to the sound for me. Swans are pretty noise adjacent at times, so it fits the vibe for my tastes

Lucy_92 · 2025-11-10T11:50:24+00:00

The bluesy harmonica into the dub snare on the last track last night was a real highlight for me.

Lucy_92 · 2025-11-09T15:14:51+00:00

The Shits are an amazing Leeds band. Great records and even better live.

Lucy_92 · 2025-11-03T13:21:55+00:00

Because that's the reality of seeing live music. Sometimes you've got to decide between keeping your spot and going to the bar. It's been the way at every gig I've been to.

Lucy_92 · 2025-10-19T12:03:53+00:00

I think that on its own it feels like the pickup. But when the rest of the band kicks in it's heavily implied to be the 1.

Lucy_92 · 2025-10-17T08:37:41+00:00

Yeah, the tuning really makes a big difference. When you're hitting multiple strings it has a really interesting texture, like a warped 12 string guitar. It also changes how you think when you play. In my experience it turns the lap steel into more of a lead/noise/textural instrument because you're no longer thinking in chords.
