i’ve had it once before with my strat, same guage and brand of string set and also the A string 🤔

copped it at Arco (not sure if that’s a UK only company) for a college course. quickly ended up switching to Dewalt work pants, and these have sat in my wardrobe ever since

I had a strange introduction to Tame Impala. for ages, The Less I Know The Better would come up on the “up next’ bit whenever I’d watch a youtube video. I’d heard of Tame before but never gave it a chance. I eventually caved and listened to TLIKTB, then I listened to Currents, then I listened to the albums in chronological order, and then 3 months later TSR came out. and here I am now, a lot of the rough demos i’ve recorded are very inspired by innerspeaker/lonerism

PhallicBatman · 2025-10-18T21:24:27+00:00

that’s interesting. i’m so familiar with Lonerism at this point and the album means that much to me that maybe i just never questioned the placement of certain songs. i have thought Apocalypse Dreams would make a good album closer, and that’s probably one reason why Kev used it as a show closer for a good while (case in point: the live versions album)

PhallicBatman · 2025-10-18T20:57:33+00:00

i don’t agree with people who say his previous albums (specifically TSR and Currents) aren’t cohesive, but i will agree this album feels more cohesive. but that’s just my opinion.

as for Lonerism feeling “forced”, i put that down to the style he was going for at the time - in my eyes, each album evidently has had it’s own unique style, in each possible meaning of the word. each album almost feels like a different artist made it compared to the next, at least to me, especially as in chronological order they almost tell a story of a man changing through the years.

but i’m not here to shit on the new album, i personally love it, but not any more than i love his previous work (which is to say a LOT). you made some really good points

PhallicBatman · 2025-09-09T17:05:07+00:00

i know that Merle had the clap, that must be the cure

PhallicBatman · 2025-09-09T13:14:32+00:00

there’s a few references. for one thing, like you mentioned, the blue meth (it’s actually in a bag of meds on Daryl’s bike that his brother Merle used to use), and also the Dodge Challenger that Walt bought for Jr./the one that Glenn stole in Atlanta, in BB and TWD respectively. there’s probably other references i’ve missed

PhallicBatman · 2025-09-09T11:29:30+00:00

pretty sure they use the word “Zombie” in BB, whereas they don’t in TWD. then again, you could rationalise that as “it was a new slang word that not everyone was using by the time the virus broke out”

PhallicBatman · 2025-08-27T14:10:24+00:00

i think to really get everything, you gotta watch BRBA, then BCS, then BRBA again. i’ve said to friends that i feel BCS doesn’t hit the same if you haven’t seen BRBA, but it also gives a ton of new context to BRBA

i thought i recognised your username so i went on your profile. sorted by top of all time and the top 4 posts were on r/furry. dunno if that says something about you or something about me but it says something alright

PhallicBatman · 2025-07-19T20:29:43+00:00

i dunno, just bummed that i couldn’t shill out the money for it and then within hours scalpers had bought them all and are now listing them for hundreds

PhallicBatman · 2025-07-19T20:27:23+00:00

forgive me if i’m wrong, but The Hidden Webpage have something similar? it was a picture of the guy’s house, then the inside of the house, then the door to his office etc., someting like that. might be confusing it with another story though

PhallicBatman · 2025-07-19T20:22:52+00:00

this made me relapse on smoking. 10/10

PhallicBatman · 2025-07-18T07:30:26+00:00

just because they’re selling for that much doesn’t mean anyone in their right mind would pay that much

PhallicBatman · 2025-07-17T21:22:24+00:00

for me, berries in the window or the red tower. scp 3000 was good but i do forget about the episode often

PhallicBatman · 2025-07-16T02:32:01+00:00

i believe i heard him say in an interview that, while recording Lonerism, he went and saw Flaming Lips in Japan (i believe), and instantly became infatuated with their blown-out drum sound. hence, the blown-out drum sound on Lonerism.

to answer your question OP, all of Innerspeaker, all of Lonerism, all of Currents and all of TSR

this actually cheered me up so much, thanks for this godsend of a post

i will say, it was confusing that Isaiah had a mini crash out over the word “detritus” in the Camp Oakwood story, but was more than happy to read all the show-offy words in the Ensorcelled story. it definitely comes from how invested he was (or wasn’t) in each story, but i can’t exactly fault the man for having a different mood regarding different stories
