I'm taking a bit of a trip down memory lane at the moment, and re-listening to bands from my formative teenage years. I came across this band back in the early 2000s, when I would stay up all night scouring forums for new music. The name caught my eye and I very much enjoyed their first few albums.

Finding out they're on Bandcamp means I get to enjoy their music all over again, and actually get their full discography.

I saw this band play a few days ago and it was such an uplifting experience. I could feel their joy as they played and I'll be thinking of that performance for a long time.

I'm slowly backfilling my record collection with my favourite albums, and I got this one a few days ago.

For some reason the hot summer weather makes me want to listen to death/doom metal.

I've been coming off citalopram really slowly. My doctor prescribed me the liquid form and I've been reducing my dosage by 1 drop (2mg) a week.

Thursday was the day I stopped completely, and unfortunately I've started having withdrawal symptoms: brain zaps, feeling like I have influenza, struggling with a very sudden depressive/anxious episode.

I'm following advice I've read about returning to the last dose before I started noticing any withdrawal symptoms (which, in retrospect, was 4mg) and then reducing from that even slower.

Does anyone have any advice for managing the withdrawal symptoms while I readjust to my dosage?

I'd forgotten about this track until this evening.

It makes me ache.

I've been enjoying a lot of hardcore punk lately, and this release mixes that style up with metal and electro-industrial elements.

Anyone got any more recommendations for similar crossovers?

This song, and the album it's on, remind me so much of being 15 years old and hungrily devouring any new music I could get my hands on.

I found out about this album on Napster: I was chatting to someone in Australia and we bonded over a shared love of NIN. She suggested I download this song from her and I was immediately hooked.

I've loved this album since it came out. It's a really well-crafted synthpop album, and this song stands out as one of my favourites.

We've had local elections in my country and the racist, far-right party has won an upsettingly large number of positions.

So I'm gonna be blasting this song all day. It's sad that it's just as poignant now as when it was released 34 years ago.
