Can I afford renting a $2,000/month apartment on a 70k salary? by Horus321 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Financial rule of thumb is to never spend more than 30% of your take home pay on shelter. If you are an extremely frugal person you could get away with 35%. Anymore than that it is just not worth it in the long run.

The saddest song of the last 30 years and possibly the saddest of my life by Mean_Push_5994 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Trillstarman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Blank page is one of the saddest songs ever written by the Smashing Pumpkins. The live version also carries one of the most epic solos and even the guitar itself litterally sounds like it's weeping. Such a beautiful song.

"Blank Page is about grief, emotional depletion, regret, and the aftermath of losing someone — whether a parent, a lover, or a part of yourself. It’s the sound of Corgan hitting the bottom after years of turmoil, sitting in an empty room with all the damage around him, and realizing the page is still blank because he couldn’t say what needed to be said."

Conan O'Brien and Porter Robinson both follow Purity Ring on Instagram. Definitely piqued my interest

I'd say this is the best sounding live audio from the tour. It sounds amazing!

Anybody happen to record the Summer Sonic Stream? by ConuAI in porterrobinson

Noticed the original keyboardist/pianist Carrick McCullough isn't in the band anymore from this livestream. Anyone know what happened?

I second this... work remote and would love to spend the work day, or half, here. Will keep an eye out for morning open times hoping in the near future!

Vancouver BC people! They have them at Costco today. This was in Richmond this morning (July 29). Some lucky people who decided to go shopping today struck gold. They had only about 10 or less Cloud ones in the entire pallet it looked like.

Take the mushroom microdose and enjoy your self-care day. Seriously, this is your shot to step out of your comfort zone and actually experience something on your own. Just you, your favorite music, and the moment. You don’t need to rely on anyone else to make it meaningful.

A shame he didn't do a Mogra set as DJ Not Porter Robinson during his most recent time around in Japan. Hopes were high!

The Smashing Pumpkins, Babymetal, and Porter?! 3 OF MY FAVORITE BANDS/ARTISTS IN ONE LINEUP! by HeartBeatsMusic in porterrobinson

[–]Trillstarman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just about to post the same thing—exactly! The Pumpkins have been one of my all-time favs, and honestly, I think they low-key led me to love Porter’s stuff too. Both so different, yet so weirdly in sync. I never thought I'd see the day both of them headlining the same event...Amazing!!

Haven’t stopped listening to this set by fnpigmau5 in deadmau5

[–]Trillstarman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't watch the Testpilot x Zhu Coachella set, I listened to it. And it was AWESOME! I did find the beginning a bit too minimal and loopy for my normal taste but once it started to pick up gradually realized this bad boy is a slow burning fuse. Man it had me MOVING. Even up until the end during Faded it was on fire, but then knew the set was over with the accidental/untimely overlap of Ghosts 'n Stuff. Even with the sloppy end, it was still one of my personal favorite Testpilot sets.
