The first Foo Fighters album is a turning point in the 90s

It’s one of the best set of songs start to finish, better than pretty much anything that came out in that whole decade.

Fight me

Are you drunk again?

My job allows me to wear headphones pretty much all day, and I’ve noticed something recently. When I listen to podcasts, it’s easy for me to kind of detach from the work and absorb what I’m listening to. I mindlessly complete my tasks while paying most of my attention to the podcast.

However, when I listen to music, it is very difficult for me to get work done. I notice that I drift away from my tasks a lot and start daydreaming or thinking about other things, and my work and productivity suffer.

I think this is similar to how I talk about plot in movies. Podcasts tend to be information-based; I’m listening to an interview or a host convey narratives, and it doesn’t engage my brain creatively. I take in what they’re saying and have reactions to it, but it doesn’t transport me emotionally like listening to music does. Music is more like visuals in movies; I get lost, I get absorbed, my own feelings and thoughts become engaged and challenged.

Just something I’ve been thinking about.

man... just... FUCK the Doobie Brothers. They just suck.

I just heard a Destroyer song that I liked, and now my day is completely ruined.

What a Fool Believes is a masterwork you assholes.
