Giggidy.damn that went hard
Definitely going to check this out when I get the chance. Electro music is one of my favorite genres, and I love genre-shifting stuff.I've recently come across a very strange album: Carousel (An Examination of the Shadow, Creekflow, and its Life as an Afterthought), by brony fandom artist Vylet Pony.
ooh I sang that for one of my singing class's projects in 2021So, Nothing Better by The Postal Service is one of those rare songs that has utterly and completely blown my mind. I have a lot of stuff to say about it, but this one's got a story, and saying anything would be spoilers. Really pay attention to the lyrics and try to set up the scene in your mind as the story unfolds.
I love the way the first verse sets it up as a traditional love song, only to be completely blown out of the water by the second verse. Once you understand the context, the whole first verse hits differently, especially the line "I can't accept that it's over." The perspective switch in the second verse reveals the true nature of the incident. The cycle of abuse is one of the most terrifyingly consistent concepts in psychology, and the third phase is always an apology similar to what the male singer says throughout the song. And in the cycle of abuse, the apology is followed by another instance of abuse. I particularly like the part where the female singer acknowledges that "you've got allure, I can't deny", it illustrates the difficulty of getting out of a relationship like that. Anyway, that's my crazy songdump for today. How's your Tuesday been?
I'd like to get your guys opinion on this one, there is (or at least there was for me) a content warning on it, and it is accurate. Honestly one of my favourite bands, even if a large portion of their back catalogue would not be releasable today. When they do serious songs (mainly about mental health) is when I feel they really shine.So, Nothing Better by The Postal Service is one of those rare songs that has utterly and completely blown my mind.

My dad's reply when I shared my list with him: "What? You got PM way too low bro"I'm done with my Killers discography listen-through!
Pressure Machine, their latest album, is... wow I forgot how dark and depressing this is. It's real. But it's captivating storytelling, and it's one of those things where you just gotta keep listening? Quality music, although it's way too acoustic/folk rock for my personal music tastes as a four-to-the-floor city girl.
Here's my final ranking, including Sawdust even though it's not technically a main album:
It's been fun.
- Sam's Town
- Hot Fuss
- Imploding the Mirage
- Battle Born
- Sawdust
- Day & Age
- Pressure Machine
- Wonderful Wonderful
Welp, that's a terrifying thumbnail you can never unsee ;-)

(Pov, you're a delicious slice of pizza).
if you don't wanna move when hearing this heavenly tune, are you even human?But fine, if you're looking for more civilized music, here you go:
Oh noooooooooooooo a snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakeif you don't wanna move when hearing this heavenly tune, are you even human?
This triggered some kind of sleeper agent program in methat's been dormant since the early 2000s
I remember watching all this guys stuff back in the day. All of Weebl and Bob, Catface, On The Moon, Magical Trevor, the many random songs. Good times.But fine, if you're looking for more civilized music, here you go:
oooh nice find !!! Thanks for sharing!Listened to this song entirely because the title made me think of exvulnerum. And the song... is literally the evey punk rock band I joked about at the start of ch. 21. Lines like "Must hold the crown, can't give up now" and "the king is broken" really just drive home the exv. vibes
