It’s had the slight unintended consequence that I have no idea how to rate anything anymore lol. It’s a very different style of music and approach to listening, v difficult to compare to more songwriting focused albums or music that’s more obviously meant to be concentrated on rather than forming an environment or evoking a particular feeling, and therefore pegging it against my folk and hardcore 4.5s is headache inducing. More to the point of reducing art to a numerical value being dumb ig, but still. I am struggling to put this into words I am tired but hopefully you get me (I suspect I’m stating the obvious to more learned listeners than myself but it’s cool and exciting for me at least eek).

songwriting is just a means to an end and the end is not a place that exists in your head
i think listening enough to music that runs off more or less the same methodology (esp if this leans heavily on dopamine/adrenaline/pathos/nostalgia hits that you're already v accustomed to) can you give you a slippery sense that you straight-up Get It
but you don't Get It because it can't be got that easily and that's why so much of the best music in the world sounds awful back to back to the rest of the best music in the world
so idk open doors and make more rooms

and actually, i think the thought-behind-the-thought there is that a ton of people originally get drawn into music as teenagers/young adults looking for a way to process their own emotional spectrum, to which end Personal Narratives in watertight songwriting, preferably with big fuckin riffs/cris, are obvs a godsend
but at a certain point i think it's kinda inevitable that you realise music is situational to so much more than your own headspace, or that what you're interested in is actually attuned to so many more externals than you originally thought, or just that the world gets bigger and more diverse and maybe more interesting the longer you spend in it, and this brings a whole load of different ways to listening to the material and abstract shit contained in it
maybe some of this is accurate

this is all part of your long con to get Colton to 5 Slint, isn’t it?
or on a more serious note yes much of that resonates with me yes

Malone’s Living Torch is my AOTY.
Really like her works. Need to have time to check this.

Interesting exchange above Johnny and Asleep (and thanks to other folks again)
Definitely make some time for this Zig. It’s quite different than Living Torch but should still appeal. Malone is certainly building quite a catalog.

god tier summary

Disappointed that this isn't Karl Malone. Wouldn't be surprised if he made an album in his old age living off the grid in his log cabin mansion.

nice to see you branching out boney, and cool to see the process documented! there are literal fucking worlds within ambient--reading is a great pairing, although the best ambient may just gently tear you from your book for a blissful moment or twelve
