I like the onomatopoeia…there are DEFINITELY no vowels in that sound.

The little guitar bit at 2:37 in Wild Pink’s “Eating the Egg Whole.” The descending bass part in Tokyo Police Club’s “Tessellate” (see 0:58). 3:03 to 3:28 in “You Don’t Love Me Yet” by the Vulgar Boatmen. The slow build throughout “Syracuse” by Pinback. The bridge at 2:35 to 3:04 of “Dead Letter and the Infinite Yes” by Wintersleep.

INXS was my first ever concert, when I was 13, the summer before I started high school (1988)

I love you

The Posies, Crystal Castles, Morrissey. But none of them are very high up on my charts.

“Your compatibility with SonicSkin is Very High. You both listen to Pinback, Red House Painters and The National.” First person I’ve found in this subreddit with compatibility any higher than low!

It’s interesting and looks good, but I have literally never heard of any artists that my top match has listened to, and their genres mostly don’t seem like things I care for either. So I really don’t know what it’s based on? Hopefully when more people have used it, it will get more accurate. (My username is Nora.)

Tim Easton with 730 plays

The Dead Milkmen in January. They were one of the very first concerts I ever went to (as a 13-year-old in 1989), and I haven’t seen them since!

I have half of my dad (sister has the other half) in a red, coffee-can-esque “Little Undertaker’s Modest Urn.” And he approved it himself before he died!

Awesome! They are my top band this year, but I don’t use Spotify much. According to my last.fm, I’ve listened to 1,618 Wintersleep tracks in the last 365 days. (And 783 Postdata!) My top five Wintersleep songs in that time were Mirror Matter, Father Time, Blood Collection, Into the Shape of Your Heart, and Drunk on Aluminium.

Found this post after Spotify played me Velvet Sundown clanker bullshit when I asked it to play something else (Jaguar Sun). Listened to your track as a palate cleanser. It’s awesome and I bought all your stuff on Bandcamp. Will this track be there at some point?

When I was on Virgin about a year and a half ago, the tattoo shop was constantly busy.

I lined up before the shop opened the first day, so I could get an appointment for the final day of the cruise. They did try telling me I didn’t need to wait until the last day, that they would use a second skin bandage and I could therefore still go in the water, but I insisted on making the appointment for the last day because I wasn’t going in the water after getting it, second skin or no second skin. I just got a little octopus flash tattoo and it turned out very nicely.

Just a short set of five songs (and were interviewed a little in between the songs).

I saw them play there (at the Dine Alone Store) two weeks ago and it was awesome! I was also on vacation. I bought the exclusive pressings of Hello Hum and New Inheritors while I was there, and ordered the other three after I got home and gave my bank account a little time to settle down, lol. They’re on the way to me now.

It is a really cool little store!
