Wat

Following sports. Being a die hard sports fan is time consuming and stressful. Obviously betting on sports is an addiction people talk about now, but even tipping comps and fantasy football type leagues are things that rob you of time and energy.

Generally I try to have a creative, hands-on project on the go. Lately that's been rebuilding a guitar, but it could be designing something on the computer.

Otherwise; playing guitar, gardening, practice putting (disc golf). So I guess hobbies.

I hear they permanently implanted a contact mic in her nuckles so the audience can feel like they are the sternum itself.

This has just made me wonder what the distance around the coastline of this land mass is and how long it would take to travel it via various means.

I'm a daily rider/commuter by motorcycle and I'd love to get an electric bike. I don't think I'd miss shifting gears at all, but (and I've been thinking about this) I think I'd like to have some kind of electric "clutch" that doesn't work at all like a regular clutch but performs a similar function. In this case it would adjust the throttle map. Clutch full in = throttle does nothing. Clutch full out = aggressive or linear throttle map. I have not actually ridden any of the high end e-motos to know if this is necessary, but in my mind I would miss the ability to feather the clutch.

Genuinely one of the best songs in recent years. I highly recommend anyone go see these guys live. They are fantastic

Did not know the Lee Ranaldo connection. That's awesome!

I would recommend going to see this band live just to see the drummer. He's real tall with a massive wingspan and he absolutely punishes his kit.

Haha so wild to see this here. A few of my friends are in the video and I met the front man at a few parties. I'm actually not sure if the band is still together, or broken up tho

I really love their Exquisite Corpse EP, but they're an awesome band all round. Such great layers of melody and rhythm. One of my favourite drummers - saw them recently and Stella was awesome to watch (although I thought the sound mix for them was pretty bad, which was disappointing, but other people thought they sounded great, so dunno~)

Oh man, do! Transatlanticism is an album 100% worth a spin

Haha I love the name, but it'd be really annoying having to explain the spelling each time. Will have to suss the tune out later

Really like this song, but (side rant) wish youtube would realise I also really like all their other songs. It over-plays this track like it's a top of the pops radio hit. Kissing Families is an older track of theirs with a very similar vibe, though I think I like it a little more nowadays. Love the screaming vocals followed by the mellow cello

Songkick? I've been using it for a few years and it works reasonably well. I believe you can connect it to Spotify too. The only negative is it's usually 3-5 days behind the announcement of shows. Following the artist directly is still the best bet to guarantee you hear it straight away. But that's only a problem if the show/artist is super popular and sells out fast.

Ima fkn idiot for missing tix to the Dinosaur Jr gig. These guys are supporting.

I first listened to this album real late at night while finishing uni assignments. (I was going thru a list of highly recommended albums at the time.) Well, essentially as soon as Teenage Riot started and the guitar tones filled my ears I stopped working and just sat there. Listened to the whole album and didn't do any further work that night - I definitely succumbed to the Daydream Nation. Still an all time top 3 for me and Eric's Trip is a personal favourite track.

Love this song and the "paint can" sounding drum kit

I so hope they come to Australia again. They're high up on my bucket list.

(Australian here) The Living End with End of Fashion at an all ages gig at the Metro in Perth.

Hell yes! Swedish emo getting a spin. An exchange student put me onto these guys and this album is actually pretty solid. I liked "Run, run, run"

I have the soundtrack on CD. It does not have this track :(
