Exactly, out in fields, playing for the cows and the pigs and the elephants as the world crumbles around me.

Eyy im glad you loved those songs. They are so damn good!! I re-listened to Tranz yesterday and its still stuck in my head.

Do you listen to the strokes btw? Their album "The New Abnormal" is so fucking good!!! Not a single skip on that whole album, but my personal favorites have to be Selfless, Bad Decisions, Why are Sundays So Depressing and The Adults are Talking, in no particular order pfc.

Ooh thats such an cool design idea for a binder cover. And Blame has such a cool concept. Ahhh

Exactly!

I used to listen to the strokes in high school / uni, but now I just have a few on my song rotations! I have a friend who’s obsessed with Julien Casablancas so I get the occasional infodump about them haha

Is it meant to be listened to in order or just a compilation of good songs?

And yessss Blame has outstanding art!! There’s like 3 lines of dialogue but it still managed to be such a cool story !!!

I say listen to it in order, not that it has a story or anything...I can't remember if the songs flow into each other or not but the album is fire tho!

Honestly, I heard different songs at different times until I finally decided to listen to the whole album. I had never heard of the strokes before that, but it was actually such a banger album. Personally, I'd give it a 10/10.

And yeah, I love how Blame is so minimal in its text...that's so difficult to do :<
ik there is a competition for "silent" mangas, where you can't use any words. I could never, whenever I try to write a manga, i can't write minimally. Its a real talent fr to just rely on your pristine world building and illustration to speak for itself.

Duly noted! I’m excited to get more sounds in my system; it’s rare nowadays in mainstream music to have full albums worth listening to, rather than a couple promo songs that blew up online. I’m glad there’s a massive unending vault of existing stuff to visit!

I hear you on that; are you more of a death-note level of description in your manga making or fairly balanced?

I definitely respect the talent it takes to do silent manga!! Letting your art carry the full brunt of its interest is 100% insane people work (・∀・)

Right? I've been really getting into albums recently. And I have so much more to listen to, I'm quite excited!!

As of late, I've heard Bjork's Vespertine which was absolutely gorgeous, Aurora's What Happened to the Heart is stunning. Anything by twenty one pilots is automatic 10, except scaled and icy which I haven't heard yet.

OOH but, there is a song that I'm curious about your thoughts on. Its Mirele - Если бы Любовь. Do you listen to songs in other languages btw? Like even if you don't know the language?

As for the text volume, its not as much as Death Note, its still more than I would like though. I also feel like my panels don't flow as well between one another but I suppose I'll get better at it with practice.

I like the variety in your music taste; I've heard of all 3 of these people/groups, but haven't actually listened properly to them, so I'm glad to be getting some suggestions ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

I will listen to anything from anywhere, and am completely serious when I say this. I'm listening to the Mirele song as I type, and I like the spacey vibe; it's a good dichotomy with the natural melancholic tone of the language !! Like having a really fun time celebrating your birthday, even if no one showed up to the party.

Do you have Spotify by any chance? And if so, do you have any interest in doing a blend?

Have you tried doing smaller comic-style strips before? Doing ultra-condensed formats of your story ideas as a writing/drawing exercise may help your brain!

also, i should totally try to consolidate or make little parts of it at a time because I definitely struggle with motivation a lot of the times and procrastinate on them big time. Its weird how even on my hobbies I procrastinate...at this rate, the only hobby I actively take part in is "watching youtube videos" and that's not even a hobby -_-

I'm happy you do! I like listening to a whole range of music irrespective of the language, and whether or not i understand what the song is about.

And right? The Mirele song has such a cool vibe to it! spacey is just the perfect word for it. I think a friend of mine introduced me to her music quite a few years ago. The friendship fizzled out but my taste in music was forever changed.

Its so cool the small little ways other people can impact you. Often, even if they don't remain in your life, their impact lives on.

I got a whole playlist of russian songs but I'm not gonna bombard you.

I do have a spotify, and I'm curious to see what your playlists are like, but be warned I don't really use spotify much because I don't wanna pay for a streaming service and the ads are abhorrent, so I just use Youtube playlists and Brave (browser with built in adblocker) to listen to music for now. But my playlists on spotify still exist and are still quite up to date, my account on there is Junie Byo.

side anecdote; I actually had just gotten a link to share 3 free months with a friend from spotify today. If you are at all interested, I can give you it! That way you can just cancel it, but you'll still get the 3 months if ya want <3 I figured I'd mention it since it's a funny coincidence we're talking about that and I just got it today LOL

woa- the coincidence is wild, but are you okay sharing it with me?

also, I jsut realized but a lot of the songs from my side of the blend are also within my sleep playlist...lmao
like no surprises, call it fate call it karma, fourth of july...now that I think about it my sad playlist and "fall asleep to" playlist are quite similar...which is quite odd

Absolutely! I'd rather it get used instead of just sitting with it haha ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ If you have the app, there's a "messages" section on there; I just sent you the link on that, since I don't want it to accidently get used by someone else !!!

And hahaha I love that, there is no better time to feel sadness than the night time. That way you can feel fresh in the morning, and leave your feelings with the moon to hold them safely !

Woo! So many amazing international songs haha; I think even if you don't understand the lyrics, the feeling you get is what matters most.

It's crazy how much friends can influence music taste haha, I definitely understand the feeling of a friendship passed but the music that remains. Tons of songs I still listen to, I probably wouldn't have found if it wasn't for others.

This is the link to create the blend; I just googled it, and thankfully you can make a blend with a person, even if you just use the free version! It'll just create a mix between both of our songs, as well as any that may be overlaps !

https://open.spotify.com/blend/taste-match/f96f71ad3b587a52?si=whhWjY-xSCSJRe13vDJGRg&fallback=getapp&blendDecoration=5f9c38d2

I'm terrible at making playlists haha; I predominately hit shuffle on my liked songs and pray it fits the vibe LOL

Right? The feeling and the vibe of the song is what I operate on.
The friend thing is quite bittersweet, its like their ghost still lingers and depending on how the relationship ended, it may even haunt you. Luckily, my friendship just fizzled out so its more like a ghost that's just chilling and vibing.

also, does the blend take all our songs? Or just the liked songs?
Either way, can't wait to be introduced to new songs!
also, we seem to have quite a few songs in common. Didn't know you listen to Hindi songs too, that's sick!

I'm listening to black out days and that's already quite a banger!

lmao the playlist thing is relatable. I'm no good either, that's why my playlists are just separated by language or the genre of the song

Yesss, same here! I agree with the friends note; I'm glad that friendship ended in a way that still lets you absorb the vibes without the "FeelsBadMan" in the background haha (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) I got a couple dynamics that ended on a sub-optimal note; I like reminiscing though, so it's still fun to look back at!

And that's a great question; I'm fairly certain it just takes all the stuff you listen to and goes based off that. It also changes frequently, so if you get hyper fixated on a song of the week, it'll likely end up in there one week!

Phantogram has SO MANY BANGERS; I highly recommend them!!!I love your Radiohead inserts in there; quite possibly one of the best bands for solo-atmosphere songs ever
