Haha I appreciate it, man — and goddamn I can definitely ramble, so no shortage there

with music it seems like there is a few really popular bands and everything else is a blip on the screen that fades quickly. There's so much new music and with how streaming goes you don't buy a cd anymore. I often peruse new releases to see what's what and I can decide in like 30 seconds if it's for me or not. move on to something else if it's not. We aren't forced to like anything because we invested in a cd or online album purchase. this is an aside from rock specifically, but I'm "tired" of all my favorites from back in the day and nothing new has piqued my interest.
Currently trying to give the new Black Pumas album a chance but I don't think it'll stick around my rotation.
Pony Bradshaw is my new favorite country artist and I hope he stays relatively small.

Music fads have become as disposable as fast fashion too with this streaming music industry. This is partly why I've gotten more into instrumentals. Many of them are 10-20 minutes long and require a bit of patience to listen to. You don't have that hook shouting for your attention every 30 seconds. It's more of a vibe than something catchy and repetitive. I've also been listening to more country music than I ever have though. I think this old-timey throwback country is going through a revival right now. I've probably leaned more towards country since there's been less rock going around lately.

I find myself doing the instrumental thing a lot as well — the time we live in is such a constant assault of attention-grabbing spew that I find myself not in the mood to even bother with music with lyrics. I've always been all over the map in terms of what I like, but I've ended up listening to tons of jazz and electronic music over the past couple years, I think because it often just feels more meditative and is a nice break from the norm. Also as a musician myself, my brain is so songwriting oriented that it's nice to listen to stuff I don't particularly know how to make, because I'm not constantly thinking "oh, what pedal did they use there, or ooh I could use that chord progression."
I think more than anything though, it goes back to tuning shit out. It's a fucking howling din out there, haha. I need a break.
And I def agree about some of the country stuff out there — big Jason Isbell / Sturgill / Tyler Childers fan over here. Commercial country is the epitome of corporate schlock to me, and I love it when I see people rubbing against that in any way. Rant worthy!

@jordanscollected check out Luke Bell. He only had one album. And sadly he passed away very young and very recently. But that one album is a masterpiece of Americana country. I have it on steady repeat myself.

@popvulture I get you, dude. This is how I've been going with my own music too. It's just 'jazz', but more like Doom/Stoner jazz lol. We just jam. Nothing fancy, just for ourselves and our own entertainment. Most of the time I just layer my own shit. But it's a bit of everything.
...Sounds like we're thinking pretty much the same on a lot of the music stuff, especially country. Except maybe the Doom/Stoner rock, idk, not a lot of people get into that haha -
Oh I dunno, I definitely have been known to partake in a bit of Pallbearer, Boris, Inter Arma, etc. It's been a while since I've really kept up with any current doom — last thing I bought was probably that Thou/Emma Ruth Rundle albumm, which ruled. Throw some good shit up in the music thread if you ever feel like it, always into getting some new recs!

@T4920 that made me laugh. Woody had good taste!

@IrishHeart I’m pretty sure that shirt was nicknamed “The Woody” when it originally came out.
-
@Jett129 that makes total sense and thanks for letting me know. So much to learn on this site!

@T4920 I completely understand you
I had a similar issue with a pair of jordan 1 Laney, a collegue asked me if i bought the shoes at the LIDL supermarket...
I sold the shoes after that, i couldn't make it
Here are the shoes:

A pair of boots I returned to a shop in Germany from UK have been in customs for more than a month now.
Any suggestions? -
