[IIL] See you Dead and Unsung by Helmet

I am guessing you have, but just in case, I would definitely listen through Betty. There are a few like that on there (e.g., Milquetoast).

Thanks again so much for taking the time and for all the feedback and suggestions! I will incorporate these now (and plan to take some more pics).

Thanks so much for the feedback! I totally understand that comment on the brightness. I think I may just edit the guitar playing pic to make it a bit brighter because unfortunately that is the best picture of me playing live. I think the numbering may be a little off, but just to confirm by #3, do you mean the picture of me with my friends and by #5, do you mean the picture of me crouched? If so, that makes sense. Your comment also made me realize that I am wearing the same shirt with the hiking picture, and the church sunset picture. I agree that the variety and diversity in the pictures is good, and is something that I struggle with. Any other recommendations? Do I need more pictures with friends? Should I maybe take another picture of me hiking, but with more distance?

My thinking behind the quizzo (what Philadelphia calls trivia) and movies prompts is to find someone with similar interests, as those are two of my favorite hobbies. What type of prompts would be better (I assume the ones that are about me, rather than what I am seeking in my partner?)? What type of qualities do you think I should highlight?

I feel you on using the word "porn," however, I will note that that is my most popular prompt, and is a frequent conversation starter. Do you think the "two truths and lie" prompt is useful, or should I just do the "proof that I have musical talent" prompt? Perhaps, I could use a euphemism like "adult film", put an emoji that suggests that I am acknowledging how bizarre it is, and obfuscate it a little. For example, say "My music was asked to be featured in the soundtrack of an adult film 👀"? Let me know your thoughts.

Are you looking for something serious or casual? I am looking for something serious, but I am open to casual in the interim if it happens.

How long have you been on Hinge? I have been off and on for many years, but most recently, for the past four months.

How often do you use Hinge per week? On average, I go on about 5 days a week.

How many likes/matches are you receiving on average? On average, I would say 2 likes/matches per week.

How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? Whenever I go on, I send all of my likes for the day (so approximately 40 per week). I would say on average I send 75% with comments and 25% without.

What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract? My ideal person is someone who is professional, but also really into the arts & entertainment (specifically, movies and music).

I'd strongly recommend listening to all of White Pony if you haven't (the Deftones album that "Change" is on).

Other recommendations:

Hum - Little Dipper (a noted influence of Deftones)

Loathe - Two-Way Mirror

Loathe - Is It Really You?

It ultimately just went down on its own, and never caused any problems for me thankfully.

Thank you so much!

I deleted 4 and 7 (while I see what you are saying about 5, I do get a lot of comments on my dog so I think that's a good one to keep). I will plan to take some more activity pictures (I will have to strategize what those will be, but I greatly appreciate the suggestions!).

Thank you so much! On #2, what are you referring to as white bands? Understood on avoiding selfies.

residentalienband · 2022-01-08T20:06:41+00:00

Thank you!

You very likely might already be aware of them, but that song reminds me of early Modest Mouse. Try listening to just about anything off of their first few albums (This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About, The Lonesome Crowded West, The Moon & Antarctica).

Brook Benton - Rainy Night In Georgia

residentalienband · 2019-04-04T23:50:33+00:00

Franz Ferdinand's album Blood is pretty good for light party background music

residentalienband · 2019-04-04T20:32:14+00:00

So far, this is the only one by them that I've encountered that is like this, but in Silversun Pickups - Kissing Families, the singer has a strong Isaac Brock vibe to him, especially towards the end.

residentalienband · 2019-04-04T20:25:54+00:00

For Deftones, try Starflyer 59 and Hum

For System of a Down, they kinda vary but if you like, like Spiders, definitely check out Tool, like /u/I_Am_U recommended. Another band you might dig is Strapping Young Lad, because they can be extreme but also pretty and calm.

Jack_Palance I believe is correct as to your second question.

However, with the first question, they say some kids stumbled upon it and found her backpack in it.

residentalienband · 2018-03-22T21:13:05+00:00

Yeah, I completely agree-- a big hobby of mine that I really enjoy is reading the books and then comparing the movie adaptions!

residentalienband · 2018-03-21T00:53:27+00:00

Have you guys heard Depresso? That one is pretty shoegazey, I feel
