  1. Keep us posted Sadie, love a bit of drama.

    Got out of the hospital. It was a shit hospital. They decided to stop letting me do makeup halfway through my stay. I met a couple cool trans dudes who helped me out.

  2. Oomph! oomph! oomph!

     

    bit of a brief tangent but just to let you know the motherfucking masterpiece Commissions Volume 1 (just for the record my favourite OPN release, though currently on rocky ground) is up on Spotify after disappearing from Bleep (and if you'd bought it from Bleep as it had gone from my account)

     

    OPN comes correct, as most Warp artists seem to do, on the EP format

    What about commissions II?

  3. I was diagnosed Bipolar I in like... 2003, but honestly I think I outgrew it. The whole time I was with my last girlfriend (11 years or so) I was pretty even keel, though there were occasional moments where that *other* frame of mind appeared, and each time I would just say no to it. Like... the mental switch would present itself to me, and then I would make a concentrated effort to remain "normal". That's my take on it anyway. There was a period where she worked on a cruise ship for 6 months, during which time I made a lot of music obsessively, which would occasionally result in periods of euphoria and weirdness. That still happens very occasionally, but it'll only last for an hour or two. I think if I were isolated those bipolar symptoms would come back in full force. I'm just too focused on various projects for that to happen right now. I really think I've just channeled all that mental illness into making music, and that's kept it at bay.

    Fuck I hope I get to a point where this happens. I though I had done it with stand up comedy but everything came rushing back. Still, comedy is a nice thing to have.
  4. What is with everyone hearing inaccessible experimental music that doesn’t resemble pop music in the slightest except maaaaybe by having an auto tuned vocal or one recognizable chord and calling it pop? This isn’t a pop record at all. Nether is a lot any of this experimental shit coming out. Especially music journalists, Jesus.

  5. diagnosed with tricyclic hypomania (form of depression), been on lamotrigine for a few years. feel pretty numb most of the time tbh.

     

    obel: 100% with you. coulda written that post myself. especially the last sentence.

    Interesting. I’m constantly emotionally fucked up (or like, half the time; bipolar, so the other half is fine) but I’m super extroverted. I do stand up comedy so I’m around people all the time.

     

    I was actually low key in crisis when I wrote this thread. I was hospitalized twice in the past month or so and should have been hospitalized a third time but didn’t wanna go back. It’s quite literally been the worst and hardest time of my entire life. I’m actually applying for social security disability at the moment.

  6. Feel pretty sure a major crisis is just around the corner, but who knows? In any case I think it's unfixable at this point. Oh well, could be worse.

    This is awful man, I’ve been going on 9 years and it’s hard to see life getting any better. But I’ve heard it takes some people decades. Try not to give up if possible, but I know that’s a lot to ask.

     

    Also I assume you know yourself so please be careful. When I think a crisis is around the corner, it is. What resources do you have to take care of a crisis?

  7. Couldn’t find one, so here goes! Warning: talk could become candid and triggering. Proceed at your own risk.

     

    Got a mental illness? What’s it like? Are you okay right now? What drugs are you on?

     

    I have bipolar disorder and it’s pretty awful. I’ve been hospitalized 11 times for suicidal problems and even though I made it through college my life is sort of a mess in general. On the plus side I get a bunch of shit done when manic! Any other bipolar kidz in this zone?

     

    If you’re in an emotional or suicidal crisis, please call your regional emergency line (911 in the US, 999 in the UK) or your regional suicide hotline (800-273-8255 in the US).

    I love Last Known Image of a Song. The absurdly high double bass? is amazing.

     

    yeah I could use a whole album of just stuff like that track

    I asked DLo on Twitter for a 20 minute version. He did not respond.

     

    I’m so mad that high pitched solo ends so quickly at the end argh. That part is so good it makes me angry.

  9. The fork gave it a 7.8.

    Not his best work but not a disappointment in any way, unlike god. He’s still progressing, and these songs are different from anything he’s done before. I already can’t wait for his next LP.

  10. I thought this might grow on me, but listening to DLo's older stuff I realized that I really don't like this album as much. I don't hate it, but when compared to Rifts, Replica, and R+7 it just doesn't hold up. For me, at least. There are a few great moments, Ezra is pretty good, and so is Freaky Eyes. Overall, though, it just isn't my thing.
