  • Kinda re-discovered Mazzy Star last year, extremely good! Lots of melancholic nostalgia.
    I remember my mom listening to it a lot when I was a kid in the mids 90s, it was a hard time for her as she had just separated with my dad. Being a single mom, with me at around 5 years of age and my little sister at 3 years old she had found several female musicians with powerful music that helped her get through life at that point. These aren’t specifically musically related to Mazzy Star but they are closely related in my heart, and all highly recommend, some of my earliest memories:

    The Sugarcubes - Birthday (I turn to a pile of mush when I listen to this, in a good way of course)

    Angelique Kidjo - Agolo (the whole album rhis is from, Ayé, is so damn good)

    The Cranberries - Zombie (No need to say anything here other than “holy shit” at the view count)

    Thanks for posting!



  • What the fuck… Not only is this animal cruelty but it also shows the incredibly fucked up view that person has on what “family” means.

    Yes, very much not all Americans are “bad” and it’s dumb to generalise like that, but man are they good at proving stereotypes and being completely ignorant of it. Both via the Internet and having known some Americans in real life, most of the time it doesn’t take long to discover how shitty they are.







  • I don’t need it to be night to realise that. I have -13 on both eyes, near-sightedness (not sure about the correct terminology in English). I see clearly for about one centimetre right by the tip of my nose, everything closer or further than that is a blurry and fuzzy mess. To use my phone without glasses I have to press it against my nose and can only see about half of the screen width clearly.


  • I’m a Swede too and don’t get anxious at all. It’s very much not a common thing here, or anywhere in the world. It’s more common in some places (like the US) but that doesn’t make it common enough to be a thing to constantly worry about. Let’s take the event in this thread as an example, there have been thousands of days at that specific place where nothing happened, and the vast majority of people there weren’t even close enough to be in harm’s way. And then we have the millions of places like this all over the world where nothing happened today. The chance of you being at the specific place and time, close enough to be in harm’s way is extremely low. I’m in no way saying stuff like this isn’t a problem or should be ignored, just that it’s completely irrational to have any fear about it no matter where you live.
