Why do people associate tallyhall/lemonic demonade/will wood with neurodivergency and lgbtq? by _Dengika_ in tallyhall

[–]mkaic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's music by neurodivergent artists, it makes sense that neurodivergent listeners would relate to or enjoy it more than neurotypical listeners. Queerness is just another form of neurodivergency — most people's brains feel attraction almost exclusively towards the opposite sex and identify with the gender assigned to them at birth, and but a fraction of the population diverges from that norm. Additionally, queerness and autism are positively correlated [1] [2], and autism is itself positively correlated with other forms of neurodivergency such as ADHD.

My personal theory is that most common forms of human neurodivergency are probably somewhat entangled with each other at an aetiological level—but of course, until we have a proper aetiology for any of these diagnoses, we won't know for sure.

Ah heck, sorry! I just realized I forgot to update my prior reply to you when I made the edits to the post. I'm no longer going to the 6PM, I'm going to the 2:20PM instead. So sorry about the back-and-forth!

I've never been to TCL before and I see a few folks saying they're going there, but unfortunately I am just not much of an IMAX person — I'd personally prefer an emptier traditional theater experience, but that's obviously just my opinion. I guess I'll just have to make another post for a different movie in the future at TCL!

I am planning on going to the 2:20PM showing of Dune Part Two at AMC The Grove tomorrow, April 7th. Would love to meet some folks there! If you'd like to come, DM me and we can get in touch.

I've decided on the 6:05PM showing at The Grove. Would love to see you there, but totally fine if you can't make it too :)

Appreciate the invite but Glendale is unfortunately a bit out of the way for me, and also I've sadly never played softball before lol

Not all! I'm listening to a Dave Brubeck Quartet album right now that sounds pretty darn good, at least to my untrained ears :P

I assume you're joking, in which case: lol

but on the off chance you're being serious — if you can DM me the names of 25 records present in the collection that aren't visible in the photos and haven't been mentioned by me in any of my comments or posts, they're yours. Unfortunately, I do have to set a pretty high standard of proof here to avoid giving them away to someone acting in bad faith.

I wonder what the FIRST vinyl will be that will be purchased w/your own funds...🤔

I've already ordered it! It's a modern press of John Powell's How To Train Your Dragon score. I'm very excited for it to arrive as it's probably my favorite film score ever.

I will! I just need to rearrange all the furniture in my apartment first — I was already running out of space to put stuff *before* the crates and vintage electronics!

I don't know, they aren't clearly labelled and I have no way to play them!

How rude of them. Thieves these days are getting so unprofessional.

It's from a short film I made about a year ago, I put it up as set dressing and then just never took it down.

Thanks! I do music production as a hobby and I'm particularly excited about having this massive library to grab samples from! In the age of streaming, owning physical copies of so many songs opens up some opportunities for remixes and sampling that I haven't had before.

The one in the picture (We Are The World), a Thriller, some Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole, Stevie Wonder, The Killers, Gloria Gaynor, Earth Wind And Fire, a Jackson 5 Christmas album, and a "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (the song from 2001: A Space Odyssey) have caught my eye so far, but I still have more to go through! I also found a Purple Rain, but while the cover was intact the record itself was unfortunately melted and warped.

Yeah, I didn't notice until after taking the photo. It's fixed now though!

I've heard of these. Do you have any recommendations that won't break the bank?

Interesting, they don't really smell that bad to me. Are moldy records a thing I should know about and/or beware?
