  • Kinda re-discovered Mazzy Star last year, extremely good! Lots of melancholic nostalgia.
    I remember my mom listening to it a lot when I was a kid in the mids 90s, it was a hard time for her as she had just separated with my dad. Being a single mom, with me at around 5 years of age and my little sister at 3 years old she had found several female musicians with powerful music that helped her get through life at that point. These aren’t specifically musically related to Mazzy Star but they are closely related in my heart, and all highly recommend, some of my earliest memories:

    The Sugarcubes - Birthday (I turn to a pile of mush when I listen to this, in a good way of course)

    Angelique Kidjo - Agolo (the whole album rhis is from, Ayé, is so damn good)

    The Cranberries - Zombie (No need to say anything here other than “holy shit” at the view count)

    Thanks for posting!







  • What the fuck… Not only is this animal cruelty but it also shows the incredibly fucked up view that person has on what “family” means.

    Yes, very much not all Americans are “bad” and it’s dumb to generalise like that, but man are they good at proving stereotypes and being completely ignorant of it. Both via the Internet and having known some Americans in real life, most of the time it doesn’t take long to discover how shitty they are.

    My train of thought before seeing the bird: “crying brings good luck? Then why would he tell the kid to not do it. So the kid is forcing themselves to cry while they sleep to bring them good luck, but why are they sitting on the headboard and facing the wall while doing it?”


  • I’m currently stuck in bed due to inflamed lower back muscles from sitting too much, it’s the worst kind of pain IMO, I’d rather have a broken leg or burns than this. If I sit, stand or walk for more than 20 minutes I get severe migraine, nausea, feeling like fainting and of course really bad back pain. I have a great chair, a malmstolen 4000, but when you spend around 10 hours a day sitting you’ll get consequences no matter how good your chair is. Unable to take enough anti-inflammatory medication because of my anxiety meds, risk of internal bleeding when mixed so I gotta take two other meds to protect my stomach and the lowest dosage of anti-inflammatory… So it’ll take a while to get better. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemies, it’s such a horrible and constant pain that makes it really hard to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes.

    Take care of your back people, you don’t deserve the bad consequences of bad posture and sitting too much.




  • I don’t need it to be night to realise that. I have -13 on both eyes, near-sightedness (not sure about the correct terminology in English). I see clearly for about one centimetre right by the tip of my nose, everything closer or further than that is a blurry and fuzzy mess. To use my phone without glasses I have to press it against my nose and can only see about half of the screen width clearly.
