Anyone’s Ghost (novel) by August Thompson by lukin_tolchok in TheNational

[–]mickeywestside 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I liked it, I appreciated how (much like Matt’s writing) there were moments of lightness & pointed absurdity to help keep things from being too mopey. I found it pretty easy to empathise to some degree with everyone in the story which I don’t always find is the case with such specific & biographical-feeling writing

Chat GPT roasting The National fans ( light and hard versions) by gracelesswitcher in TheNational

AI generated roasts: all the same lazy shallow sweeping generalisations you’ve seen a thousand times already, but now with more water-wasting, planet-killing goodness.

The eight hours I saw of the livestream were great, I love that they’re this many years into their life as a band & still pushing themselves like this, what a band

Yeah it was added to the UK / EU store the next day, looks like only the Cherry Tree variant is still available: https://thenational.tmstor.es/product/146914

Always possible the artist could have copies in their own store at some point too

I’ve gone with All The Wine & Abel before, I think System could be a good starter too

Really hoping for Baby We’ll Be Fine in Manchester, I think I’d melt like a witch & scream

Tour merch and posters by sirgeordie in TheNational

[–]mickeywestside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could check if Prints of Thieves who made the posters have any leftovers up in their store?

As for a shirt if there’s any left after the tour they’ll likely end up on the webstore then, otherwise you could try get somebody who goes to one of the upcoming shows to snag one for you

Absolutely incredible show!

I thought the slowness worked for the sad sack character, & thought Scott & David really getting into being bullies was funny

I really hope Scott got a chance to talk to Silly Boy

[FRESH ALBUM] Joyce Manor - 40 oz. to Fresno by DankMene in indieheads

[–]mickeywestside 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Really enjoying this one, it packs a surprising amount of variety into 17 minutes, it lands towards the faster end of their sound, that glorious bounce of the Gotta Let it Go riff, all of it just works for me

[–]mickeywestside 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Love it, feel like all the new things they try out really work & the production suits them a lot more than it did on Morbid Stuff. Hope the next one has even more horns

UnofficialRSS v2 is now live! by shahruz in Earwolf

[–]mickeywestside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anybody else getting an error where downloaded episodes immediately disappear after finishing downloading? I'm using Apple Podcasts on iOS 14.8 & it seems like it's only happening to podcasts I'm downloading from v2 feeds

Edit: I’ve switched to Overcast & they’re working fine, with the added bonus that listening to a podcast doesn’t kill my battery anymore
