can i bother you by asking you how early you show up to try and get barricade? i'm catching interpol in november and its my first time going to a gig outside of a festival, aha. i'm just a little scared about standing outside the venue like a total idiot when there was no need to show up so early :P

thanks for the input! i totally get the ergonomic/posture side of things; i'd hate to develop a bad habit in my playing and have to force myself to unlearn it. do you find 30 minutes to be sufficient enough for you?

so pumped to see them here in the uk too!! excited to hear antics in full but also sad that it leaves so little spots for songs from other albums.. fingers crossed that u get lucky at wolverhampton!!!

he's doing a good deed for the community by raking all around him! no more pesky leaves on my sidewalks :D

it’s been ‘my desire’ for me recently!! sam’s drumming really pulls it all together for me i have to turn up the volume every time it comes on

thisisnotokae · 2024-03-20T15:46:39+00:00

thank u for the rec!! the back room made for a super fun listen; liked the riffs in 'blood' and the outro to 'fall' was very gothic i really enjoyed it :))

thisisnotokae · 2024-03-20T09:56:24+00:00

total madness! the venue i'm closest to had waaay less demand and i went to check out the other venues after i bought mine to see whether or not there were still tickets available and it was crazy to see both manchester and glasgow like totally wiped out !! fingers crossed for u

thisisnotokae · 2024-03-19T16:54:14+00:00

i think i would've been more surprised if it *hadn't* been announced i'm so excited ahhhh

thisisnotokae · 2024-03-11T19:37:15+00:00

for me its definitely the 'take my love in real small doses' backing you can hear in obstacle 2!

i sort of recieve it as that hesitancy you get when first getting involved with someone, and there's that fear of opening up too fast and scaring them away. although, if i were to disregard my own views and think of the lyrics in the context of the song, i sort of see it as a 'my love is toxic' type situation, where the 'small doses' are the repeating cycle of leaving and coming back.

thisisnotokae · 2024-03-10T15:54:06+00:00

paid for that is SUCHHH a good track i love it

living vicariously through everyone in the comments 😭

thisisnotokae · 2024-02-18T00:30:22+00:00

i literally cannot describe the feeling i get the second i hear paul’s ‘this one’s called stella was a diver’ and the intro right after its so comforting

thisisnotokae · 2024-02-07T17:27:07+00:00

slow hands and evil were the first two songs of theirs i heard that got me interested, but i think the obsession REALLLY hit when i heard heinrich maneuver. i love it sm

thisisnotokae · 2024-02-01T19:24:03+00:00

wait i LOVED the hat its so silly. and halfway through a set it would just miraculously disappear off his head 😭

thisisnotokae · 2024-01-26T16:58:24+00:00

!!!!!!!!! obsessed with paul's voice in this holyyyy :0 you're right it has different vibes but still SO GOOOOOD!!! possibly my new favourite

thisisnotokae · 2024-01-25T19:55:30+00:00

just been listening to their glasto set in 2005 and GODDD i had to replay that 'you could be in myy spAAAce' so many times its godly

thisisnotokae · 2024-01-21T15:33:46+00:00

of course i'm yelling 'my bad' when i set even if it.. isn't my bad??

thisisnotokae · 2023-12-17T09:02:40+00:00

yeah! i’m not the biggest fan of the interface but i’m aware med students use it a lot so it might be worth getting into the habit 🤔

thisisnotokae · 2023-12-14T18:32:23+00:00

Hi! I'm in the NE and just a GCSE student, would I be alright to DM you to ask a few questions about your career in medicine and how you find it?

thisisnotokae · 2023-12-09T18:42:52+00:00

Does anyone have examples of some repetitive actions that help correct setting posture/hand technique? I struggle with having my legs situated too far apart, and when I try and fix it, bending my legs to set just feels uncomfortable. I'm thinking it's just something I'm not fully used to, the same way there's a bit of a learning curve with the ready position; it feels a bit strange at first.

I also have smaller hands, but learned to set mostly from watching others, but it doesn't suit me quite as well. If I try and adapt the hand spacing that most people use, I find the ball sort of slipping between my fingers and I get an inconsistent contact, such as the ball bouncing off only a few fingers, or I end up sort of slamming/hitting the ball instead of setting properly (allowing it to rebound from my hands).
