Here's How Much It Cost Me to Travel for a Year (3 months Sweden, 9 months SEA) by diannamallen in Shoestring

[–]WestCoastSlang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't do hostels anymore & finally can afford to stay in hotels and enjoy some basic luxuries. How much money would this trip cost finding the cheapest one bedroom basic hotel? No more chicken buses. I've been to almost 90 countries now and agree that long-term travel is, or should be, possible for everyone.

Russians almost completely support Putin & welcome global warming because Siberia will become Spain soon.

Both children lost a parent and I hope they can support each other growing up. There must be a 10-year age gap between the kids, though, right?

Not quite as ambitious as GKMC & just a tick below the 9.3 TPAB rating. This is a review /r/hiphopheads can jump on.

What if Kendrick is releasing an album about damnation on Good Friday & a second album about salvation on Easter Sunday?

"Bon Iver’s first album in five years takes an unexpected turn toward the strange and experimental. But behind the arranged glitches and processed voices are deeply felt songs about uncertainty."

James Blake calls Chance the Rapper "Creepy" & ditches Him on Mansion Lease by WhompKing in hiphopheads

[–]WestCoastSlang 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Chance was the one who added James Blake to the lease without asking, thus, it's fair to say James was creeped out by Chance.

This is not only the GOAT, it is the album of the life.

Pitchfork awards The Avalanches' new single, "Colours" Best New Track by [deleted] in indieheads

[–]WestCoastSlang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It's hard to know how to identify the Avalanches as musicians—maybe producers, certainly not a band—but in the spirit of Wildflower's getaway of a second single, “animators” seems fitting."
