Songs of the Week (3)

1. Junkhead (Alice in Chains)

This was definitely an Alice in Chains week for me. Seasonal depression or whatever people choose to call it had me playing Dirt on repeat, and Junkhead is such an obvious standout (for me personally) that I just had to include it here. This song is so confident in what it wants to be that every listen feels different and it’s impossible to get tired of. Lyrical content and context aside, it’s a positive and enjoyable listen every single time.

2. Fist (Deftones)

Since Adrenaline’s 29th anniversary was a couple weeks ago and I forgot to make a post about it, I’m honoring it here. Besides, it was about time I added a Deftones song to one of these; just because there’s less of them in my daily rotation doesn’t mean I love the band any less. Fist is technically a hidden track, meaning that many forget about it when talking about Adrenaline, which I think is incredibly unfair. Fist is absolutely bewitching, a beautiful track that doesn’t really fit with the rest of the album, but it’s such a gorgeous addition that I could never have the heart to critique it.

3. Mic Check (Rage Against the Machine)

Is it obvious that I love the Battle of Los Angeles yet? I love how inventive this song is, what is done with the guitar and the vocal effects. It’s a little too out there to play in the car or public places, but god is it beautiful. One of the best tracks off the album.

4. Riders On The Storm (The Doors)

I’m switching it up a little this week. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the weather, but for some reason this song easily made it into my daily rotation. I don’t listen to The Doors much so this feels like a very welcome change. It’s so charming and confident and beautiful that sometimes I put it on just to calm myself down.

5. I Know Something (Alice in Chains)

I fucking love Facelift and this song is one of the main reasons why. I adore the bass on this one and the way it blends with Jerry Cantrell’s guitar is insane. It’s weirdly positive and upbeat for this album and Alice in Chains in general but in the best way possible; it brings a kind of funkness (is that even a word) to their work I really appreciate. An overall amazing listen, so captivating.

6. Jimmy Recard (Drapht)

This song was introduced to me by my stepdad and it’s actually one of the biggest reasons I love it so much. Music is one of our main bonding points and it’s just always so beautiful to have people you love give you a glimpse of their music taste (especially if the taste is stellar). I tend to gravitate towards music that’s a little different from Drapht, which only makes songs like these all the more interesting to me. Absolute banger.

7. Sober (TOOL)

Sober is this week’s TOOL song because apparently I need to have one on every single one of these. If I’m being completely honest, I haven’t checked out any other tracks from Undertow, but if Sober is anything to go by this album fucking rocks. As always, the lyrics are amazing, the vocals are as intense as can be, the atmosphere is transcendental, and the passion is out of this world. I have such a deep appreciation for this track because let’s be honest, there’s nothing like TOOL out there and this is an integral part of their origins.

why are there like no west australian artists. like i try to listen to aussie music when i can but even then 90% of my aussie artists are from over east

[gayemoji]

"no no <thing that is objectively wrong>" 'okya well . here is evidence to the contrary. you are wrong.' "my god you are so annoying. ive literally SEEN evidence for <thing that is not true>" '...where' "i ve SEEN"

what the hell is it with people who will just insist that they are right and no matter how much you know they are literally wrong they will just be mad at you for pushing back.

me reading þe 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 shit in my draphts þat i do NOT remember writing (i agree wiþ what i said)

[voice-of-illogical-sense]

Fell.down a rabbit hole this evening. I was watching a documentary about Zelda BotW and Autism, when I heard a phrase: "masking was making me feel depressed and anxious..."

So I decided to look up masking and how it relates to that, finding a relatively reputable source. I begin reading through an article... then I am hit with this paragraph:

And then this connects with something in my brain that my wife said recently: "you look really sad as a teenager, you don't look like the person i met at all, like you aren't really feeling joy often enough, did you have bad teenage years?"

I had a good group of friends eventually, it took a while to find them. Even then, I didn't really feel like I was my authentic self with them. I mean, in this picture I even look like "the leader of the pack"... but I am defs not.

There were glimmers of it, me being me, where I was drunk at a party? But I would be altering my personality depending on who I was speaking to all through high-school.

My girlfriend was with me often enough to notice these switches and to see just how many facets I had. I had woven a web of quotes, clichés, humour and quips to distract people from delving deep enough to know me. We had a massive bust up about it too... she said "I don't know who you are" and it echoes through my brain still because at the time, I didn't know who I was either.

I'm glad I learned that not everyone needs to like me. I feel like there is much less weight on my shoulders. Winning everyone over is exhausting.

"Practising what I preach? (and you just talk about yourself)

Need a hell of a lot of practise to be me"

IMPORTANT!!!! HAS ANYONE HEARD THE SONG RAPUNZEL BY DRAPHT!!!

[jinxed-starry-pages]

Hey I was wondering if you had gotten some asks that I had sent. Idk if maybe there was a glitch or something and you didn't get them or if you hadn't responded to them. I think one was something about your follower event and the other was asking about your ocs.

Oh I'm taking ages with my event ones sorry 😅😅😅 but I'm not sure about my ocs, I'll check my draphts

[snellyfish]

(duck) Wait I just read one of your old posts and i think you hate nagito. Sorry. actually this intrigues me why do you hate nagito. I thought you liked fucked up weirdos?? Oh yeah and why is your OCs name jimmy. what the fuck

Haven't gotten around to responding to the previous ask gimme a moment to think about it further another day but.... Oh........ Oh this was the FUNNIEST fucking ask to receive because;;

I fucking LOVE Nagito This took me a hot minute to ponder where you got this because I entirely forgot that when I first played DR2 I simply could not stand his fucking ass, even after watching the anime too I was SO sick of him and everything he stood for. Turns out I was actually so insanely hyperfixated on him and was acting out my love in violent ways. He was my #1 fav for a long while up until playing V3. Still probably like #3 tbh. To this DAY my brother and his friends joke about me being secretly straight because of how badly I wanted him

WHAT THE FREAK DO YOU HAVE AGAINST MY BOY JIMOTHY!!!!! WHAT THE HELL DUDE!!!!! His character was actually inspired after the song Jimmy Recard by Drapht :batseyelashes: A very nostalgic and weirdly sentimental song to me and it made me absolutely love the name Jimmy, So I often forget that to most people it's just a very silly and quite frankly stupid name, not particularly as charming as I find it I guess LMAO

Sorry I had to show my DND gang this ask bc we lost our MINDS

[yuribait]

do u guys even know about hilltop hoods do u know about drapht about bliss n eso about illy about 360... were u there in the trenches with me in the 2010s..........

congrats on surviving your nights! do you have any tips for surviving?

tbh I think the biggest tip I have is to keep busy. I hate taking my breaks over night bc it makes me tired. Here's some things that keep me alive

MUSIC - before work listen to the loudest most pop rock/pop punk screaming dancing in the car songs you can! Faves include Jimmy Recard by Drapht and Daytime TV by Dear Seattle

caffeine - I drink one of the 470ml red bull no sugar cans over a few hours and then switch to instant coffee

snacks - sweet biscuits, protein bars, cheese and crackers, maybe a pot of ramen if I'm starving but no big meals

a good book - I've found most of the kindle unlimited books are perfect bc they're no brainers. I finished Sleet Kitten by SJ Tilly (terrible, don't recommend) and Right Man, Right Time by Meghan Quinn (eh it was fine) while at work.

do the night shift tasks - calibrate BSL machines, check the resus trolley, clear out paperwork from folders, restock the med room... all these things are mindless tasks that make you look super helpful and it gives you something to do so you don't fall asleep!

chat shit - obvs if you like who you're working with

do an online course - this is if you're really bored but see if there's any CPD learning you can do online once all your work is done

eat breakfast when you get home, read/watch tv, go to sleep, then eat dinner, have a power nap and do it all again

Triple J Mag issue No 47 Feb 2011 Back Cover

ONLY $99.90?! That is so freaking cheap! The craziest thing about flicking through old magazines is seeing the price of gigs and festivals back then.

Groovin The Moo has been suffering these last few years due to Covid and the cost of living leading to insufficient ticket sales. It's rather sad, really. The whole industry has been suffering so much and our government has done nothing to try to ease the suffering.

360 (Bunbury only)

AC Slater (USA)

Art vs. Science
