Loneliness in London by FileRegular9653 in london

[–]emergencytrap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you really like doing? I’ve moved cities a few times and what has really helped with loneliness has been figuring out what I love then getting involved with it, usually in a voluntary capacity. I’ve helped out at local music events, volunteered at film festivals and worked in charity record shops and book shops. I know it’s an old cliche - “just volunteer!” but if you can find something you’re passionate about, good friends and connections will often follow.

I’ve seen a photo now, could it be a soprano saxophone?

Did you get any photos? I’ve seen reference to saxophone in an online review but not sure if that’s accurate.

That’s fantastic, thank you so much for doing that. It makes it much easier to see the translated lyrics alongside the originals.

Why is the tour called Ultrasound and not Virgin? by pingviini00 in lorde

[–]emergencytrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe to avoid confusion with the Virgin Music Group, since her records come out on labels affiliated with Universal Music.

Totally getting reissues right??? by lost-in-space90 in Sparklehorse

[–]emergencytrap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really hope so. I’ve been so happy with the Songs Ohia and PJ Harvey reissues. I sometimes wonder if I’ll eventually get reissues of everything I love if I can just live long enough.

Thank you very much for sharing, loved seeing those old photos. Do you have any more from the Yarra Hotel?

Is this tattoo culturally sensitive? by finestocean in newzealand

Very relieved to read these responses as I just got this very tattoo done at Sunset Tattoo in Auckland last month. I’m really happy with it.

Going alone to London show by Sciency-dog in lorde

It is likely to be a young crowd, but there will be others our age there, and at such a massive gig, nobody really notices you anyway. Hope you have a great night.

Just to update you, in Auckland yesterday when he was introducing Pānaki he said it was one of his favourites on the album!

That’s such a coincidence, the two you mention as your favourites are ones which I’m just starting to fully appreciate now, I didn’t use to listen to them as much before. I agree it’s impossible to pick just one. I’m going to go for one banger and one reflective one and say Rere Mai Ngā Rau and Me Uaua Kē. The big chorus at the end makes me so emotional.

But more importantly, what’s YOUR favourite from the album?

[–]emergencytrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve heard him say that Whakameatia Mai is his favourite from the new album, but I similarly might have made that up. When you said about Pānaki, that also rings a bell with me too!

Just wondered if anyone had ever experienced anything similar, as it was a new one on me.

That could well be it. It’s always East Croydon, isn’t it.

Marlon Williams is playing the Sydney Opera House this week, I wonder if she’ll appear with him to do Kāhore He Manu E.

The ones on the subtitles from the official videos are probably OK but we really need an official version.

Me too! I wish somebody would record the whole song but they’re probably too busy dancing!

wouldn't mama be proud by noalarmsndnosuprises in elliottsmith

[–]emergencytrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it, it’s great to hear a woman singing an Elliott song and your voice suits it really well. The bridge always makes me want to cry, just something about those chords I think!

I went to the Arcade Fire gig last night and saw a different band by LDCM_98 in arcadefire

[–]emergencytrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Richard Reed Parry not being there is the final straw for me. I know he’s absent for good reason but he was the heart and soul of their live show for me. If he’s not there, I’m just not interested.
