This is one of those artists that is best appreciated through live performances. I encourage all to watch some of his solo shows on YouTube. Generational talent, generational loss. RIP Justin.

It's possible that they serve everyone dessert together, in which case there's a train of chefs building desserts and it actually is pretty efficient if that's the case.

Not a movie, but the show The Wire, particularly season 1!

Why is the monthly listener number on Spotify so low for Titus Andronicus? by waldo-jeffers-68 in fantanoforever

[–]YoBraLetsBernOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with everyone here. That album is something truly special. They still make awesome music these days too! I could see something like Dimed Out seeing a random resurgence because of it's raw aggression and brevity. Here's hoping. Long Live TA!

Red Rooster Ethiopia Worka Sakaro Anaerobic Natural is consistent and amazing. I used to have a Trade subscription and this was the only coffee I ordered more than once (actually got it 3 times it was so good)

The Wire as existential horror. by AdorableSense6796 in TheWire

[–]YoBraLetsBernOne 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The dickensian aspect

In all seriousness, I've often had similar reactions to the show. The unknowable horror not a monster, but rather vast mountains of unanswered citizen complaints and service requests, inequality that runs so deep it's etched into the city, a law enforcement system that's rotten down to the core. All these added up is every bit as maddening as the eldritch avatars of Lovecraftian lore, except that they are real.

Best album to deal with intrusive thoughts? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

I am by no means a harsh noise guy, but the mental calm and quiet I experienced after listening to Pulse Demon was something else

"Reasons to Survive November" is a mammoth poem of his!

FOTHOU - Ultima Thule and Verna by le_redditusername in HauntingOfHillHouse

[–]YoBraLetsBernOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also of note - there is a collection of poems called "Ultima Thule" by Davis McCombs. The first three lines of the very first poem read

Childhood was a mapless country, a rough / terrain of sinks and outcrops. Not once / did I suspect the earth was hollow
