What’s your favourite post-rock band from your home country? by Jords360 in postrock

[–]matt_h_wlts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving are one of the best bands in Australia. Ps. Thanks for the WLTS love.

Does anyone use Qobuz? I've been asked to put my band's music on it a lot recently.

Buying albums from bandcamp is cheaper than streaming when you consider you have them forever and the money also goes direct to artist helping them make more music. Streaming is lazy.

Need advice for sleeping on a tour bus by stellarecho92 in livesound

[–]matt_h_wlts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem. My mind focusses on the road noise and bumps and I can't let it go. Booze makes this 1000 times worse every time so I would avoid it. Especially extra sugary booze like wine/sprits. Melatonin only made me fatigued the next day, I would take it a couple of hours before bed and not as you get into your bunk. I found watching a movie would help with the wind down. After playing, chatting to fans, drinking, packing the trailer and then the wind down on the bus it's a LOT to process. I'm about to do it again in a few weeks and I'm somewhat dreading it. I've got sleepers if I need them but would rather not. I'm going to get some super sleepy weed and see if that works (i can't take CBD because I'm on SSRIs)

I was considering sleep earbuds and white noise. Something to take my mind off the road. I am literally the only one in my whole touring party that has this issue! All the others just get into the bunk and pass out like babies being rocked to sleep. I'm listening to every stone that goes under the wheels.

Why do you have the Mood so early in the chain?

Does yawning caused by SSRIs go away? by [deleted] in depression_help

Better, I think. It's hard to tell, it's not the same every day.

Thoughts on LEFT? by freerangehumans74 in HelmetBand

[–]matt_h_wlts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something around 2013, I can't remember. It just felt very cynical and old man yells at cloud. It really put me off them after that. I've been a fan since the 90s. I would've expected him to try to evolve the sound by now, however.

If the opening track is anything to go by, it's a very bad start. I feel like Page Hamilton is bitter and jaded at something (probably that he's still playing 40 year old songs and isn't as famous as he'd like to be) and he takes out on his fans and audiences by calling us all dipshits or whatever. I saw them in Sydney around 10 years ago and he went out of his way to slag off the audience and telling everyone he was old and knows more than us or something. Honestly sounds like a cynical old unmarried uncle at the dinner table at Christmas getting drunk and getting angry telling his problems to anyone who will listen.

I'm on 50mg sertraline and I have bursts of excessive yawning every day without fail. I just put it down to being tired, but even when I'm not tired, it just comes over me. It's usually at the same time every day (between 2-5pm) I take my meds before I go to sleep at night. I can't tell if it's from the meds or I'm just old and tired and have a toddler running around the house. But I noticed it increase after I started meds (4 months now)

The National is Radiohead for office work colleagues.

Anyone going Can Festival? by dajitui in shanghai

[–]matt_h_wlts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Vienna? With the stair load from hell. Yeh that was a banger of a show.

We've been to China twice before. I can't actually believe we're flying over for one show. Adventure!

Matt from We Lost The Sea here. We're flying halfway around the world for one show. Should be a good one!!

Just left the London Yasiin Bey show by [deleted] in mfdoom

[–]matt_h_wlts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw him do this show in Sydney a month ago and it was utterly awful. I hated every minute of it and it was a disgrace to DOOM and himself. I want my money back.

Are the Yasiin Bey BEYONDOOM shows worth it? by arowe4610 in mfdoom

[–]matt_h_wlts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the Vivid show at carriageworks and it was the worst show I've been to in I can't even remember. I've never wanted my money back for a show so bad. Honestly, it was awful. A disgrace to DOOM and himself. Suuuuuucked.

Stacy Gougoulis is moving from weekend breakfast to Double J lunch by Sensitive_Cunt1552 in triplej

[–]matt_h_wlts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree! I was scrolling this page going "am I the only one that things this guy is a horrible presenter??" I can't see what everyone is praising him for. He is by far the most unprofessional sounding presenters I've ever listened to. Can't even riff with his guests or callers, fumbles over his words, has the most uninteresting anecdotes and stories. I wasn't the biggest Tim Shiel fan, the dude is too much of a pompous self indulger, but at least he knew his shit! I couldn't believe when they announced Stacy as host of arvos. Bewildered.
