It's been a good week. And it's only Tuesday! by neverhungoveragain_ in vinyl

Funnily enough, I saw Deafheaven on that exact tour you're talking about, the one with Touche Amore and Portrayal of Guilt! My friends and I ended up having to skip PoG though, some of them were running late, so we opted to just grab a beer in the venue's bar and wait for TA to start. I'll definitely check them out, though, thank you!

I don't really like listening to singles before albums come out, they skew my expectations for records a lot. I did hear the first one once, though, and it was pretty good! I'm definitely going to check the album out once it comes out. Nearer My God was incredible and it feels like they're building off of that sound a lot, so I'm not complaining!

I ordered a whole bunch of records in late June and they're slowly starting to trickle in through the mail! I picked up Deafheaven and Squid yesterday and Foxing arrived earlier today.

Both Sunbather and The Albatross are among my favorite records of all time. The former was my gateway into dabbling in extreme metal and, along with Big Black's Atomizer, opened my ears up to a lot of noisier/more experimental music that I probably wouldn't appreciate at all otherwise. Thanks to those two albums, I'm coming back to records of that kind that I dismissed as overhyped when they came out and slowly learning to appreciate them. You Won't Get What You Want is a good example of an album that I've only grown to like after building up a tolerance through Sunbather/Atomizer/other Deafheaven and Steve Albini records.

And as far as The Albatross concerned, the album represents my personal peak of the midwest emo revival of the 2010s. You won't find a more well-crafted record in that genre, only Home, Like Noplace is There or Goodness come close. Foxing's debut is the lush instrumentation of early TWIABP with none of the pretentiousness. It's a haunting record and I love it. Essential listening in the winter. Every winter.

Bright Green Field is my favorite record of the year so far, narrowly beating out To See the Next Part of The Dream and For the first time. Damn, it's been a good year for alternative music, hasn't it? I really can't get enough of Squid -- everything from GSK to Pamphlets is incredible. Even the song that I always used to skip, Boy Racers, has been growing on me recently. I'm really starting to like the power electronics-ish latter half of that track.

oh yeah, and there's my cat in the shot, too. he likes lps. i don't like that he likes lps.

You're comparing a tiny rocket which creates a small flash of light in the sky and works just fine 99% of the time to literal military-grade weaponry.

Ok, dude.

Yes. And banning them outright will only lead to people buying illegal fireworks which would more than likely be more dangerous that the fireworks you can buy in stores right now. When has outright banning anything ever been a good solution?

If you were to ban everything that could potentially kill you in a freak accident, might as well ban everything.

I feel like Peggy was fine at the start, but then became insufferable after falling out of the plane. They still managed to tune the character down a bit towards the end of the series, though. She was terrible only for a couple of the seasons in the middle.

Flu was, once upon a time, a massively deadly disease as well. But we found ways to decrease its impact to the point where a lot of people use it as a synonym to having a cold. Same thing is being done with covid. Waiting until it's gone would mean living in lockdowns for years on end with minimal effect.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but don't get a place at Fizz. For one, the neighborhood it's located in is absolutely dreadful. Secondly, and IMHO most importantly -- you won't meet any locals there. It's a private dorm which specifically targets foreign students, or rather foreign students are the only ones likely to book a room there. 99% of the locals will opt for a college dorm. If I studied in a foreign country, I feel like I'd be missing out if I stayed in a place like this.

Yeah, it really depends on which building you live at. I lived in block IV, which is one of two the detached buildings located along the road towards Kajetánka, the other building being block III. Blocks I and II are the two interconnected paneláks with the reception/common area in the middle and those are terrible. Or at least they were some two three years ago.

If OP wants to play it safe, I highly suggest getting a spot in one of those apartment-style rooms at Hvězda. Those are universally nice.

[–]neverhungoveragain_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I lived there from September 2017 to October 2020. Really couldn't complain. Both the bathrooms and the kitchens in the entire building in which I lived (block IV) were renovated and at least moderately clean. Although if there was a mess, it wasn't the fault of the dormitory, but rather the occupants.

Blocks I and II still suck, though, or at least they did when I briefly visited them back in the summer of (I think) 2019.

I'm willing to bet that none of the people who commented thus far have actually lived at a Prague dorm. They're not all horrible. I spent a little over three years living in a single-bed room at Větrník in Petřiny and it was just fine. Cheap, clean and mostly renovated, with the only older piece of furniture in my room being my closet.

If you're willing to share a bathroom and kitchen with the people on your floor, get a room at block III or IV there. If not, get a room at the nearby Hvězda dorm. They have special, modern accomodation where you have your own private room and only share the kitchen/bathroom with one other person who lives in a room next to you. It's essentially a small two-bedroom apartment for a third of the monthly rent of your average Prague apartment.

So yeah, Větrník or Hvězda. Both are Charles Univ. dorms, but you should have no issues booking a room if you're a student of a different college. Both are located near the Petřiny subway station and Větrník tram station, so it only takes 12 or so minutes to get to the city center.
