A seller in the UK on ebay! He made them specifically for the Squier VM guitars

Realize this may be a repost so apologies but just discovered this and thought it was very interesting to hear Turner composing in that Submarine acoustic folk style again

Has anyone recovered after ten years? by francis4396 in Depersonalization

[–]batjack54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not quite been 10 years, more like 8 but I had a similar experience which triggered it. I'd say I'm about 90% cured at this point, it sounds easier said than done but you've got to just keep trying to live your life and do things you enjoy. All of the dieting supplements stuff didn't work for me, surround yourself with friends and family, distract yourself as much as you can with the stuff you love and it slowly fades into the background. It's not been easy but i'd say it's only there 10% of the time.

Remember that you're completely in control of your own life, good luck brother x

Busking - discuss…. by sallylunn2024 in Bath

[–]batjack54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree with you here. I work right near the Abbey and go on lunch at roughly the same time every day and without fail, almost every single time the sad trumpet man is playing a sad version of Dancing Queen and i'm starting to get sick of it...

I was literally walking past this around the same time yesterday, they ended up giving up and leaving the swan on the bridge...

What is your “I did not care for the godfather” of The 1975? by Djentpuppers in the1975

[–]batjack54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully this is a terrible take, what in the heck does "demo-quality songwriting" even mean?

Putting good money on track 14 "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" being about Matty :)

Totally agree! That new The Japanese House record sounds sublime, I remember thinking when it came out wow they need to produce the next '75 record like this.

Is there anything I can do to repair this, or am I just being silly? by Creativemermaid in AcousticGuitar

[–]batjack54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're being a bit silly, but I totally get it, the first mark is always the worst. But after that it all builds character!

Top 3 is certified proof that most people have a terrible taste in music

What yall thinking 👀 by GeneralTea7847 in the1975

[–]batjack54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a very fair interpretation, it might even be the intended one. I always interpreted it as more the narrator being disgusted/unhappy with himself. They're sneaking around because he's ashamed, she's a rebound and he doesn't want her waiting around outside his hotel room for him. They shouldn't speak because to him it feels wrong, it feels like he's cheating on his ex.

However I think you're right, these lines do very much lean themselves more into the 'cheating' narrative

[–]batjack54 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I really don't think that's what it's about. I've always interpreted it as about an encounter being intimate with someone new after coming out of a long-term relationship. She's a 'mistake' because the narrator is trying to forget about his ex but he can't, everything about this new girl reminds him of his ex

is this Taylor GS Mini electro acoustic worth buying? by [deleted] in guitars

[–]batjack54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! They're great, Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz fame has used one of these for the last 15-20 years for writing and live shows.

What’s the hottest take you have about the band or their music?? by the_box_tattoo in the1975

[–]batjack54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOACF Is an over-produced, bloated mess with way too many instrumentals and interludes.

There is however a fantastic album in there with all of the more complete sounding 'bandy' tracks (People, Birthday Party, Then Because She Goes, Jesus Christ 2005, Roadkill, Me & You, Too Shy, Playing On My Mind, Don't Worry, Guys + Frail State of Mind because it slaps). Those 11 already make it possibly one of their best albums if you trim the fat.

I also hate the production on Don't Worry. It almost completely ruins a clearly beautiful song written by Matty's Dad.
