'I have not slept more than 6 hours since I had my first kid and at this point I would kill somebody to have just one midday nap.'

I sometimes 'sleep' (okay I'm in bed) for 10 hours

this is not a boast, as it sometimes doesn't even help

Whoops. Got two already (5 y/o boy, 3 y/o girl).

Two is surely enough, though. Once the kids outnumber the parents, trouble is abound.

Considering bumping my rating, this is very rewarding on further listens and has an overall warm sound which I'm just not finding in much else from 2024.

This album/band is pretty much a soundtrack to what not being fun at parties vibes as

Although that does remind me of a weird exchange at the second to last party I was at - was a housewarming that had wound down to 8ish people, all sitting on the floor in a boxlike unfurnished room with a Bluetooth speaker in the middle, and the inevitable someone play something plz prompt came up. I passed (hardly knew anyone there), but the guy next to me was suddenly madly vocally keen for LCD Soundsystem, which seemed like one of the more uncontroversial options in the whole book gj case closed, nex-

Girl next to him gives it 60 secs and then comes in with the hardest fuck this shit this is boring how can you jam this clapback I've ever heard levelled at James Murphy, and really animate about it. I openly said that much as I dug LCD, the amount of hostility she was generating was far better value than sitting through any of their tracks and that I was all for it, but who should we switch to, at which she says (without hesitation and absolutely adamantly) that we needed CMAT, of all people

and ever since I've been puzzling over whether this is a clash of apparent opposites anyone anywhere has ever experienced

I’d rather listen to CMAT (her previous album anyway) over LCD Soundsystem… by myself that is

At a party? Hmm, yeah that’s not the best of choices. Lack of awareness of the situation for sure. The reaction probably spiced things up a little tho by the sounds of things, lol

I'm just thrown that CMAT is even a word-of-mouth discussion point to begin with - did not strike me as the kind of artist people would rep like that irl (girl's friend was right behind her) lol

Had a similarish FAK THIS WHITE NOISE SHIT guy trying to rain brimstone when I was with a bunch of girls trying to get waved to Cocteau Twins years back in Aberdeen, but that's the risk you run with that one

The category of good nap album is a lot more precious and delicately attained than many would have you believe, and this sure af isn't worthy
