      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!

                            @IrishHeart I’m pretty sure that shirt was nicknamed “The Woody” when it originally came out.

                                @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:

                                    Any suggestions?

                                          Unless you correctly shipped them back declaring them as previously shipped from Germany but being returned, then there will be VAT and Duty to pay.

                                          So customs could well be waiting for either correct paperwork or some form of payment (or just being pricks, because they can).

                                          So you need to find out why they are stuck to start with.
