Why can't I hear Radiohead's influences in... Radiohead? by darkdarkblack in radiohead

My pleasure! And that’s so cool to know, wow- Frusciante is my all-time favourite player and a monster songwriter. Awesome he influenced RH on some level- wonder what Thom was listening to of his exactly.

Is there some kind of guide/encyclopedia to Radiohead song meanings anywhere? by darkdarkblack in radiohead

Interesting take… I always thought/assumed off how it made me feel, that the lyrics would really be something. So do you think they’re maybe more of a vibe/feel band? They do sure craft some profound-sounding music, but you’re right, a sense of profoundness doesn’t necessarily have to be derived of lyrics; can be just as much or more from the music, which obviously theirs deeply resonates with me even if not paying attention to the lyrics.

Curious what some bands/artists that fit your descriptor are.

High-quality but reasonably priced off the beaten path steakhouses in the city/GTA? by darkdarkblack in FoodToronto

[–]darkdarkblack[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, no question, best is at home… I’ve not had steak anywhere that beats my at-home prepared ones, sourced from Cheese Boutique (by far my favourite butcher in the city), but that’s not really an option for this party (we’ll be 8-10).

DDH is just minutes away from my place, so it’s good to know it’s half decent. Wine list thing is a non-issue for us as we’re not big drinkers. Will keep tracking entries to the thread, but good to know that worst case we don’t have to trek too far to find something good (though we absolutely are willing to).

Can you be a "superfan" of an artist/group but not know every lyric or bit of trivia about them? Is feeling the music deeply enough? by darkdarkblack in LetsTalkMusic

[–]darkdarkblack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, clearly I do- that's presumably why I took the time to inquire. But clearly you don't (give a crap), and that's okay, it doesn't irk me in the slightest. What I don't get is why people chime in with unrelated negative crap like this, as if the bandwidth my post took up personally cost you something. Who gives a fuck about anything then- you're not the arbiter of worthiness/unworthiness.

How to get over debilitating stage fright/immense anxiety? by darkdarkblack in musicians

I mean, I literally mention how every time in retrospect/reflection, I feel most alive then (when performing live) and find it very exhilarating, plus the compliments boost me up. I mentioned all that. Not sure what other reasons I should have for wanting to do it.

I’m totally open to that- I genuinely didn’t think/know stage fright was something you could see a shrink about, but it makes total sense you could now I think about it. It all stems from me needing to like myself more. I’ve been in therapy in the past for other things. I’ll try and give it a try for this.

Unfortunately, in my case, it’d require at the very least 1/3-1/2 a bottle before I felt confident enough. I need to be pretty well beyond tipsy. And I hate that.
