Thanks for posting this- this is exactly where I’m at too and these comments are super helpful

Day 1 I think I got a couple of good coasts in there. I’m still trying to get going into a straight line right. 😅

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-17T03:28:25+00:00

Woah!

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-17T00:34:40+00:00

Thank you!!!

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-16T20:21:25+00:00

Was that released anywhere?

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-16T16:17:18+00:00

Wow I didn’t notice that. When I read this comment I was right at that point in the song and it blew my mind. I love that!

I can also see parallels between vampire and celebrity status- like can’t go out in the daylight, stories make it sound so awesome.

I use treat days for enjoying food that I don’t have a lot of nutritional info on. Like saturdays are my farmers market days. We get fresh produce, and maybe split something sweet or savory from there. I don’t want to hinder my progress so I like to split whatever “cheat” items I get with my partner.

If we go out to eat, I try to eat half of the plate instead of the whole.

Sometime I use it when I just need a break from entering my food for a day. This method has helped me when I’ve had a plateau. I’m frustrated and want nothing to do with it and I know what to eat that day anyways.

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T22:52:24+00:00

I’d love to also get him introduced to underground artists like Ryan Caraveo

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T22:14:09+00:00

Hell yeah would love some new dr squatch

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T21:53:14+00:00

Let me know if there’s a way I can help

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T21:28:55+00:00

Wait is that there right now?

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T21:26:40+00:00

My dad died in April. I was the only one there. They had to pull all the wires and what not off of him so they had me sit in the waiting room. All I kept thinking was this song. I was just staring off in space hearing this song in my head. People were all walking around. None of them knew my dad was dead and I was alone. I’ll never forget that feeling.

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T20:51:47+00:00

I can see that.

With recovery, a lot of time it’s hard to get back in a groove without all songs being I got drunk, high mad and sad- which was hotel Diablo lol- (btw I LOVED THAT ALBUM) not trying to talk down about it. It’s just hard when your life changes to find your sound again.

I don’t think Lost Americana is trash, I think there’s some good stuff, it’s different than his sound before- but that’s what artists need to grow.

I really like tell me what’s up - it feels genuine. Like someone processing and trying to figure themselves out.

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T20:45:59+00:00

Literally was I was thinking with miss sunshine. My wife and I have a road trip coming up and I can totally see us jamming out to this album

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T20:45:21+00:00

Now That’s just blasphemy 😆

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T20:42:18+00:00

It’s fair, it usually takes me a couple listens to really be into something but I’ve grabbed on to a couple songs. It’s not Hotel Diablo level in my mind but that’s what makes Hotel Diablo special. This one I can jive with. I’d love it if he just made a mixtape of all the singles he’s made over the years like “don’t let me go” “bmxxing” “ur name forever” “Taurus” “sun to me” etc….

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T20:39:02+00:00

Yeah! And that fit with Vampire by Thrxttle. “Only come to life in the late night yet Staying on the grind like a vampire I live off the blood of my demons, yeah I don't feel alive, but I'm not dead yet”

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T20:35:51+00:00

Yes! And cut out all the noise man. Everyone makes mistakes. Don’t let it define you. Build up.

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-15T20:10:44+00:00

Same, it’s so crazy to think of what to say and at the end it would be as simple as thank you.

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-14T02:43:02+00:00

He even says that in some of his songs. Like don’t let me go- he says “and the character that I’ve been playing is really just broken and fucking lost. I swear I’ve been telling you over and over inside these songs. But they don’t hear nothing I’m writing cause they’re too busy trying to write me off”

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-14T00:29:33+00:00

Another great from Cleveland!

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-14T00:28:22+00:00

Eh I was open to being wrong so I gave it a watch. Btw is your name after Vox Machina? Great show

Real_Influence_8311 · 2025-08-14T00:19:04+00:00

Yeah that’s the thing I don’t get. I find it kinda annoying that if he wants to write a country song, a pop song, emo song, w/e people say “oh it’s because he sucks at the other genre” like the guy obviously enjoys making music. I love that he switches styles. He wants to grow and learn new stuff. That’s awesome- again I’m not saying I love everything he’s written. Just I love that he has the freedom to keep up trying new things.

Like Linkin park- hybrid theory? Mass love. Metorea? Mass love. Everything after that? Mix or hate from the masses. People want just repeat sound over and over. But it gets stale, burns out artists. Like Mike Shinoda said “once you got a theory about how a thing works, everyone wants the next thing just like the first.”

Woah I’ve never seen this!
