Good morning! Start your day with @strwblondeluvsu's sparkly new pop emo LP 'No Past To Live In"! It feels like a walk through a park on a crisp autumn day. FFO: American Football, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Hodera, The Merrier, Bon Iver, Death Cab Links in replies

A couple of weeks ago I asked for recs of DIY bands which I've been slowly making my way through and GAUNTLETS was an immediate standout. It reminds me of the non-emo DIY stuff that used to thrive here. This EP Rocks! Link in original post. Give them a follow while you're at it

I love this. I'm a sucker for a synth interlude leading into some basement punk

it’s been 2 months since we released fix your heart, an album that truly blossoms in the fall i worked on this record for 2+ years putting every free moment i had into it a story of self discovery, loss of friendship, & being a paranoid little freak hope it means something to you

preventing trans kids from even dreaming of ever pursuing sports at any level is the point. these campaigns exist to ensure trans people don't participate in public life. we miss that point if we keep thinking of this as a mere grift or fake outrage.
what's annoying about the wnba trans athlete blow up is that no trans people are involved in it. no trans player is dominating the league, there's not a trans college player who might get drafted, no trans women demanded to play. all the trans women are purely hypothetical here

while i’m here i would also like to say i despise the chatgpt ads with the old ladies talking to it like a real person who’s their friend. as someone who knows a person hospitalized due to ai psychosis i think normalizing that shit is genuinely so dangerous
my friends and i would’ve killed liberty biberty with hammers i can tell you that much

As president I would make you submit proof of having riffs in E standard before being allowed to tune to anything below it. As dictator I would ban all tunings below C unless you’re in Meshuggah.
I think bands should only be allowed to tune lower than F if they can actually make their guitars sound good. Too many bands take the Sleep Token approach of having their guitars sound like shitty sludge tuned to drop z

“We could make these if we wanted to, it’s just not profitable” “We can win the war at any time, we just haven’t taken the gloves off yet” so many Americans live in a fantasy land where the US is still capable of anything besides debt trading and throwing poor people in jail
Can’t make rubber gloves, and these folk speak of reindustrialising.
