I just arrived at the family cottage in southeastern ontario (PEC for those in the know), to escape the Covid resurgence with my newborn son and fiance.
It's a balmy 6c/42f, i just lit a fire in the wood stove, and coffee in hand, I can't think of anything better than a new Fleet Foxes album to soundtrack this moment in time.
We're still doing the whole "but the musicianship tho!" thing with RAM huh?
Outside of the guest spot songs (Pharrel, Panda Bear, Julian) IMO that album was a huge disappointment. Still don't get the praise
Also - When i was in high school I (like many others) went through my Zep obsession stage. So much so, that upon graduating I decided to get a Led Zeppelin inspired tattoo. I settled on the iconic 4 symbols, thinking that only true Zep heads would recognize it, and as a location figured my back would be best since I'd be less likely to get sick of it since I wouldn't have to look at it daily.
My next decision was to figure out where exactly on my back i should get this badass tat. Do i go across my shoulders? Down my spine? In the middle? I finally settled on a location that I would soon regret, but which at the time didn't have the stigma that it does now.
Things finally came to a head when I ran into a hippie girl (she was wearing a tie dye crop top and matching bell bottoms) at a The Who concert who had the same tattoo, in the same location (albeit slightly smaller).
You'd think I'd have it removed by now, but I keep it as a reminder to others and my future children that the decisions you make at age 18 shouldn't be permanent ones.
TL;DR - Every summer i'm reminded that I have a "Plant Stamp"
Great breakdown!!
I'll never listen to "In the Evening" the same way again without thinking about the ending of Sharp Objects on HBO.
Also, I've always thought that the intro to Coldplay's 'In My Place' has at the very least a strong Levee influence.
Never thought I'd be so stoked for a Calvin Harris album, and yet, here we are. In that vein, if anyone has suggestions for my 'Beach Please' playlist - I'm all ears. https://open.spotify.com/user/mr_wenn/playlist/2IqkxT9NmCAbjH1g8nR3CR
Kinda naive to think it won't be reported. Furthermore, I agree with your sentiment about the show, but as someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression, I have a bit of an issue with your phrase ''miserable and hopeless lives" when referring to depressed kids. They may feel that way, but should never be categorized as such. Nothing is ever hopeless, and misery can turn into happiness with the proper support.
