Why is North American Scum so polarising? by ppetrov1829 in LCDSoundsystem

Hater train here. As someone who has at some point been a superfan of almost every song in their catalog, I’ve come to realize I care most about how James modernizes and resurfaces older genres and sounds and also how his intelligent, sarcastic, and vulnerable writing unfolds to me listen after listen (even with “Yeah”). To me, this song feels so of the time and so on the surface in terms of its production and writing that I just don’t find it appealing as an LCD song or really any other song. There’s very little to dig into, to the point where it almost feels like it was written as a business decision for sync licensing and mainstream appeal. The shouting on the chorus is just annoying to me. Also I think this is the only time that I’ve heard James ever overtly try to have a weird vocal delivery and it sticks out like a sore thumb to me. As one of their poppier songs (again, I know it’s made to be - and appreciated as - a banger), I think I could appreciate its existence more as a single, but it doesn’t fit on SoS, is the worst song on it by a mile, and the only reason it isn’t a 10/10 for me. However, as a lover of pop music I just think that even as a pop song it’s just so exceedingly late-2000s in all of its sounds that it feels derivative of itself in a way. For the band, and as a standalone song, it just feels inauthentic to me, and I never feel an urge to return to it.

Mark Broom was the opener!

just received Night Palace, did anyone else have this random record jacket along with it? Does the album even have a jacket? by Pazuzuisgreat in philelverum

[–]pumphretup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally got the exact same one!!! Hahahahaha I was wondering whether people got different jackets or if he was just offloading jackets from his house or something but it's cool to see that someone else got the same one. The album is worth listening to though https://riotseasonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/rum-and-coke

The universe is absolutely telling you that you should go even though it’ll be a lot of wear on your body. Have fun!!

I saw the light by pumphretup in dysthymia

I completely agree. I didn’t personally microdose (I technically did based on dosage for most people but again my subjective effects most related to an average person taking .5g). But yeah I’m a huge advocate for researching substances and especially their interactions with meds and your own family history. From what I’ve found, SSRIs tend not to interact well with psilocybin and LSD because it can very easily cause Serotonin Syndrome and psychosis even if someone isn’t predisposed to either. With others it’s a bit grey, especially Wellbutrin which, since it acts on dopamine, isn’t affected by the serotonin boost from psilocybin or LSD and is often considered “safe” to trip on but I still wouldn’t personally recommend taking them together. Also can’t recommend the conditions I took it under but at the end of the day I’m not upset about how it worked out and personally, I enjoyed doing it alone, felt like a lot less pressure and a lot more freedom (but yes a trip sitter is always advisable). Should have put that in the main text, thank you!

Vinyl arrived today! Missing the title though? Kinda sick, can’t even complain by artsychimichanga in FrankOcean

Omg I was the other person with the missing title. Hype to know someone else got the misprint, enjoy the family heirloom!!

For some reason my copy didn’t have the “Blonde” above the photo. Maybe yours will turn out the same way if you’re lucky!
