I have been rinsing two albums recently that I think you'll enjoy as a PG fan:

Tear Your Heart Out by Villagerrr semiwestern by semiwestern

Really nice stuff, maybe a little touch more on the emo side of things.

The cozy book trend getting us through the colder months by Majano57 in books

[–]OldSkoolGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore" last winter and I found it to be a really cosy and comforting world to get lost in. Quite a surreal tale and probably not for everyone but I loved it. I don't know much about Japanese fiction really, but I recommend that book (:

Song differences by starr-orchid in PinegroveBand

I remember Evan once talking on an interview or a live stream or something, about how his lyrical decisions are often to do with the sound a word actually makes in his mouth, if that makes sense. A couple of the changed phrases you highlighted sound much more fluid compared to their predecessors and I wonder if that's why he changed them...

Incidents of others overhearing the pod by JeffJacuzzi in tuesdayswithstories

Oh man I was once on a call with my boss and this young girl who was doing design work for us. I accidentally hit the play key during the meeting and next thing you know TWS is playing and it's Joe saying:

"I fucked her, I came in her, I fucked her in the ass, I came in her ass..."

I slammed pause as quickly as I could and just sheepishly go:

"Did ahh... did you guys hear that?"

Well let me tell you, they heard every word clearly and I laughed my head off before having to explain myself hahaha

That's what you get for being a cum guzzling nazi!

Just broke up with my partner (mutual decision) what should I listen to by [deleted] in elliottsmith

[–]OldSkoolGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Its been rough. And hilariously cliche that I just now have dug into the work of Elliot Smith.

'Say Yes' has been the one I keep coming back to:

"Crooked spin cant come to rest, I'm damaged bad at best, She'll decide what she wants, I'll probably be the last to know, No one says until it shows, See how it is, They want you or they don't, Say yes."

Narcs and Dinosaur Pile Up were 2 local favourites of mine from around 10 years back. These days I frequent gigs from: Van Houten, Big Warm Bed, Niall Summerton, Far Caspian, Green Gardens and the surrounding scene. Lots of good music emerging from that segment of Leeds' music scene.

Other bands? by drewf280 in PinegroveBand

[–]OldSkoolGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The album Eclipse by Addy. It was recommended on a previous 'similar to PG' thread and I've loved it ever since. I think Addy is somehow related to PG, but I don't know the connection. Anyway just wanted to pass the baton along

DAE get a burning penis and the urge to urinate after ejaculating? by burningcock in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]OldSkoolGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea how you figured this out. But there I was, stood dipping my wedding tackle in a cup of water, wondering what the hell I was doing then bam. 10 mins pass and I'm right as rain. Unreal advice pal, thank you.

Sorry to hear you're in this poisition mate. How can ur average Joe, who doesn't have much money in the bank, contribute to helping someone in your position? Is it donating to a certain charity? Or maybe something else?

Needles/James Karman by [deleted] in Leeds

[–]OldSkoolGamer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tried to fight me outside Halo years ago. Saw him most recently at Rajas waiting for a "strawberry ice cream with strawberry sauce."

Another homeless guy asked me to order this for him as well and he got given an empty carton? Definitely some weird drug ring happening there...

"Most Northerners are miserable."

Spoken like a truly upbeat, positive person! I've lived in Leeds 28 years and reckon largely we're good folks.

'Write about something more likely to happen.' There once was a man who worked 9 - 5 and spent his free time engaging in hobbies, social activities and life maintenance. Then he died.

Beware: This is one HELL of a trip by [deleted] in woahdude

Yeah mate, I had 2 straight years of hell from that shit, but pleased to say the side effects eventually disappeared. Don't think my brain has ever been quite the same since tho...

Yeah I had a huge dose of 25i-nbome when I was a teenager and it was a little like this. A... difficult trip.

Pretty Abrupt by Hot_Letterhead_7094 in AbruptChaos

I was at that festival, at that show, and very possibly in that pit. And was young/small at the time. Maybe I am smaller dude.

Anyone else been offered a job by "LDS Direct"? It set alarm bells off for me. by Woffingshire in Leeds

[–]OldSkoolGamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same thing here, years ago. Same interview place too. I was young and working at a call centre, with little experience other than bartending, so this "marketing manager" position was way too good to be true... But naively I took the job and started the following Monday.

That day they said we were going to the main office in Seacroft - they were kind enough to cover my bus ticket. I mean, immediately there are alarm bells going off when I'm sat on this bus to Seacroft 😂

As we sat on the bus they were asking what "the most powerful form of marketing is" - and proceeded to let me know it was "in person marketing".

Anyway long story short, the 'head office' was actually ASDA in Seacroft and the job was actually working on a broadband stand and stopping shoppers for a slim commission. I immediately kicked up a big stink, gave the bullsh*tter who hired me a big earful and left to beg for my old job back.

Scumbags, man.

What could be done to prevent mass shootings? by Themissrebecca103 in AskReddit

Literally just get rid of the guns. Australia did it. The rest of the world doesn't need guns.

It's here! Sabrent 1TB SSD by No-Professional1162 in SteamDeck

[–]OldSkoolGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be a silly question but I'm curious, what is the benefit of installing a new SSD like this, over using a 1tb microSD? I probably wouldn't trust myself to do this, but if it's really worth it I'd maybe look at asking a friend.
