Yeah when it’s explained to me I realise “of course, that makes so much sense”.
And then I forget again, so I’m all Keanu-Reeves-whoa-face next time I think about it.
Always looking for new music.

I’d watch that movie!
Your comment spawned a delightful train of thought where I imagined all the other fish trying, and failing, to successfully fuck before these two fish stumbled on how to do it.
It helps me to remember that mitochondrial Eve isn’t a fixed individual, as well.
Mitochondrial Eve is just the most recent common female ancestor. So her mom would also be a common female ancestor, but not the most recent one.
To be fair, the concept of mitochondrial Eve still trips me out.
That’s a nice haul!

There are a lot of reasons, but I think this article does a good job of listing the main criticisms: https://www.themarysue.com/the-autism-speaks-controversy-explained/
But in a nutshell:
I’ve always thought “separate the art from the artist” should be a conversation, not a hard and fast rule. I’ve never heard White Freckles so I don’t really have an opinion on this. But if the track is meaningful and brings beauty to people’s lives, that’s valid despite the artist being a piece of shit.
There are some artists where I feel the artist’s behaviour does not outweigh the impact of their work on my life, for example Eric Clapton, but there are other artists where I feel their work stands up despite the artist’s actions (Prince, David Bowie).
Thanks, this was a good read. I’m glad there’s growing resistance to the fash/nazi scenes in black metal.
This features one of my favourite misheard lyrics: Give me a light beer!.
It’s really good to see this. As a long-time metalhead who will never tolerate fascism and bigotry in this scene or anywhere else, I’m always enthused to see others push back against that bullshit too.
I didn’t intend to be dismissive and if my response sounded that way then I apologise.
I agree it’s difficult to be on the receiving end of vague signals, but my perspective is if there’s any annoyance or frustration it should be directed at the violent/angry men who have caused women to feel unsafe.
Helping women feel safer by tackling the violence and misogyny directed at them by men will benefit everyone.
While it might feel rough for you, it’s worth remembering that a lot of women have faced very real threats of violence for their upfront honesty.
If you’re only getting vague signals then maybe that’s the sign that she’s not fully into you.
I thought that was just so the pocket didn’t sag during storage/display. Aren’t you meant to break that stitching? I have been 😂
I had a music teacher who would read sheet music like this. He said he could hear it, and he prefered it to actually listening to a recording because his imagination was so much richer than what could be captured by a recording.
I thought it was amazing and really envied this ability.
You know, I love those albums where they fucked around did things like hard-pan all the drums to the right channel. I’m here for the experimentation.
