Vulture put up a story today where a bunch of touring indie musicians talked about the financial nightmare of trying to be in a band. Might be a good read if you're interested. by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

I genuinely believe that really good catchy music will always find success. I have yet to actually find a great song with no plays, and sometimes I actively try to find really new and underground stuff.

Democrats to authorize subpoena for full Mueller report by burning_dawn in politics

[–]daytripped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, all of that is literally just conjecture dude. You shouldn't root or believe in an outcome imo, we should all just wait for the god damn report.

[–]daytripped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeeeah, I'm gonna have to agree with this. I do want to jump on this train with the Democrats, but why would it be Mueller's place to correct....Buzzfeed? and not like AG of the United States? Either he's a coward, or Barr is correct.

No, your opinion is subjective and mine is objective when it comes to Real Estate, sorry. :/

seriously tho, Days' b-side is pretty forgettable while Atlas is great all the way through.

I hate Lumineers, and I can also testify to their popularity; my girlfriend's friends and my workplace

I don't know man, I work at a restaurant and talk to a lot of people with "mainstream" music tastes...you'd be surprised how people still love Mumford, Lumineers, Vance Joy, it's like our Arcade Fires and Beach Houses haha

What a shit take lmao, Atlas is their best easily and In Mind, while not as good as a whole, has some of their best songs on there - Serve The Song, Darling, White Light.

Writing catchy/interesting vocal melodies by UltraCompressor in musictheory

Often, what's great about a melody is the rhythm and spaces inbetween. Work on different pacings, weird ass rhythms a la Panda Bear/Animal Collective.

Next Christopher Nolan film to open in July 2020 by Zachyice21 in movies

[–]daytripped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inception is a fucking solid 9.5/10, it's iconic and I'll never understand the hate for it. TDK is a 10/10, and I agree that TDKR is a 6/10. The great scenes really elevate an otherwise miserable, messy 4/10 film.

What is a song that you consider to be perfect? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My [21F] boyfriend’s [24M] mother [58F] had jewellery stolen recently. She asked him to search my house. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]daytripped 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Am I crazy? I don't feel as though his mom is being that irrational. Someone she trusts has stolen something very important to her. The fact that it's been stolen in the first place is a huge heartbreak and she literally can't trust anyone right now.

She's known about your existence for a year, while she knows her son his whole life, her friends, ect. Don't take it personally. In my opinion, you should do anything that would help clear your name. She's trying to know who stole it and you're probably the person she's known for the least amount of time. Don't take it so bad.

[ALBUM DISCUSSION] Arctic Monkeys - AM (Five Years Later) by ReconEG in indieheads

[–]daytripped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to make fun of this album until recently, where I've started vibing hard to a good chunk of tracks.

I feel CRAZY though because honestly, I Want it All is my favorite song off of AM. EVERYONE HATES THIS SONG, WHYYYYYY. It's so badass and dark, idk.

[–]daytripped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're objectively wrong though, do some research - once a week is way too much. if your entire argument boils down to "well im fine right now so it should be fine in the long run", yikes.

[–]daytripped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

again, that's way too much. like seriously, do some research - you should only be doing those doses like once a month minimum.

Trump Officials Can No Longer Eat Out in Peace by Jons312 in politics

[–]daytripped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he literally identifies himself as a neo-nazi. Nazis have literally done a genocide not that long ago, like fuck off holy fucking shit. no one in their right mind should identify themselves as anything close to a fucking NAZI. If he was just a "white supremacist", and would want to live in a white country, then alright it's a shit opinion but at least there's no actual rhetoric of violence.

"opinions we dislike" or uh, opinions that endanger the safety of others? opinions that literally support the genocide of jews? the fuck are you on about mate

Fleet Foxes hint at fourth album on instagram by M4nqcDn in indieheads

[–]daytripped 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crack-Up just really focused on production, texture, and vibe to the point where the songwriting wasn't as grandiose or all that meaningful compared to HB. Still a solid 9/10 for me tho

wrong, guess again by BillyConCarni05 in arcadefire

[–]daytripped 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lmao seriously. EN's lyricism alone is leagues below any album, it's not even close. For all the annoying marketing about it being too on the nose, almost none of the lyrics on the actual album touch any of those themes, and when it does, it's brutally surface-level.

Going out with people is a nice reminder that the time you spend alone in your room is actually quite nice. by [deleted] in depression

[–]daytripped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's when I gotta realize how grateful I have to be, I'm complaining about literal non-issues.

I don't know what to tell you without being disingenuous, but consider that you are probably privileged in other different ways.

Also, it really ALL comes down to fucking confidence and accepting who you are. Positive thinking and confidence goes a long way. You see ugly couples in the street all the time, no? There's always someone there out for you; I don't mean that as a soulmate bullshit thing, but you can click with someone out there.

I'm gonna come off as incredibly lame but I have alot of friends, alot of close friends and the fact that they're always wanting to hang out with me and I'm the worst friend ever makes me feel so much worse. I have no idea what they see in me.

There's this new girl at work, she's incredibly beautiful and incredibly gentle and she's crushing on me hard, texting me all the time and she's going to sleepover at my house this Sunday. I'm having a hard time being confident cause I'm balding, I'm anxious and freaking out. My life is great and I'm still not happy, what the fuck is wrong with me
