    This might be a yap because Pink Floyd was my favorite band in highschool.

    Roger Waters is as pertinent as he's ever been. People say a lot of shit about him, "Oh, I like his music, but I don't like his politics", among a slew of other things undermining his artistic vision, which was always a union between the music, the theatrics, and the politics.

    And of course, its subject matter screams out eternally through all human ages. It uses feminine imagery to drive home the senseless loss of life during war, much like Southampton Dock, but this Waters is a whole lot wearier after over 7 decades of life. He can hardly even reach those upper registers he used to flaunt on Floyd's more desperate tracks.

    The track ends with yet another Waters staple, zooming into a large issue until it becomes personal. "It feels like deja vu. The sun's gone down and I'm still missing you," hits many of the same tender and intimate notes as Pigs on the Wing.

    You can say a lot about Roger Waters. He even claims that he'd do a better job as God on this song. However, I feel that this track and the whole album, really, will touch the human in you.

    I really gotta learn to swim, my ass is grown.

    That's a whole realm that has been inaccessible to me. It's like playing an old GTA game but never unlocking the 2nd city.

    But how does one even swim? Will it just make sense when I throw myself into the water?

    A more mainstream pick, but it's Kendrick. One of the greatest songwriters of our generation.

    This track is my favorite of the Mr. Morale period, even though it's not on the album. Just incredible lyricism from start to finish, encapsulating the album's wider themes of the cycles of trauma and abuse, specifically in black communities.

    Not to be political,

    But the reason why slavery is so popular in isekai and isekai-adjacent media is because the only way their audiences can imagine actually getting attention from the opposite sex is by legally owning them.

    I can’t speak towards the generic isekai audience, but a lot of East Asian media carries fetishes that are way more controversial in western spaces.

    Yeah. A lot of the fetishes that Japan showcases have become my blacklisted. Something that pisses me off is the instant "I love him now for no apparent reason" trope. I don't mind a harem, but make it realistic. I may make a thread about this. And more

    I don't mind a harem, but I just want do be dominated. Someone fuck me hard so life is not the only one fucking me.

    This one definitely isn't for everyone, more so than my other recs.

    But this track and video is the human experience condensed into a rushed smoke break. In post-rock fashion, it builds on an established motif that explodes into an intense, dissonant, and almost overwhelming whirr of guitars and programmed drums that HAS to make you feel something.

    Try if you like post-rock, dissonance, or yuri.

    How do I clean my IG reels algorithm? It's full of Italian brainrot that I don't even enjoy.

    On a side note... *pulls paper out of my woke hat* calling Tung Tung Tung Sahur Italian brainrot when it's very obviously Indonesian is cultural appropriation.

    All this fanfic discourse is reminding me of the disconnect between online literary spaces and art spaces. You can perfectly make a career out of doing fanart on Patreon (looking at you, Khyle) or commissions, but I wonder why that's generally more of a sensitive issue when it comes to fics.

    Which is why my final stance is do whatever you want. Get your money while you can, homie.

    A gorgeous track from possibly my favorite album of all time. Incredible musicianship, tasteful blend of genres and sounds, and potent songwriting. The use of the Concorde jet as a metaphor for a sunk-cost relationship is genius, and the climax feels like watching a jet take off without you.

    Listen if you like symphonic/progressive rock.

    After all these hours in Elden Ring, I've realized that the correct way to play is, in fact, with summons and magic. They make for the most dynamic encounters.

    I just mean that I have the most fun that way. Sure, roll-slop has its merits if you really want to feel the difficulty of the fights, but sometimes hanging back and spamming lame spells while your spirit ashes and NPC companion beat the boss' ass is exactly what the soul needs.

    I like those minibosses cause sometimes you summon a whole squad and just let them do all the work.

    Radwimps back when they were good. I mean, goddamn, I remember hearing this song when I was a kid, and it changed my whole life's trajectory. Now they're doing that shimmering bloomer pop bullshit. Makoto Shinkai really ruined a great thing.

    Listen if you hate Radwimps.

    I can't say I agree, this song is fine but disliking their newer stuff does not equate to them being ruined. Especially considering how much more popular they are now.

    Nu-uh, I want my little Japanese alternative rock band to keep making music tailored specifically to my tastes and not what grants them the most recognition and success /s

    Lowkey the greatest rock song of the 70s, by the era's most cerebral band. This colossal track lulls you in with a gorgeous main riff and vocals, only hinting at the tension to come. Then before you know it, you're entranced in an unnerving 13/8 musical meditation that takes its sweet time before bursting forth in an incredible crescendo.

    Sit back and relax, cup of tea in hand. Toe is a band that most people can fuck with. I chose this track in particular for its almost hypnotic riff. In usual post-rock fashion, the riff gets repeated ad nauseum while slowly building on layers of instrumentation until it reaches a fever pitch that'll have you feeling that being alive is okay sometimes.
