Austin City Limits 2017
Well, it’s OFFICIAL – I’m going to Austin City Limits this coming October (weekend one)!!! *internally screams*
Who else is going? Who are you most excited to see?
it’s finally here.
that’s right, this is not – i repeat, NOT a drill. the war on drugs released a new song this past friday in honor of record store day this past saturday, april 22. adam granduciel + co. are back at it again after a 3 year hiatus, and i smiled to myself for 11 minutes straight through the entirety of this beautiful song.
check out “thinking of a place” below. what do you think?
The War on Drugs return with new song “Thinking of a Place” — listen
frisson
learned a new word today to finally describe this feeling i get when i listen to certain songs.
wikipedia definition: frisson (french for ‘shiver’) is a sensation somewhat like shivering, usually caused by stimuli. it is typically expressed as an overwhelming emotional response combined with piloerection (goosebumps). stimuli that produce a response are specific to the individual.
frisson is of short duration, usually no more than 4–5 seconds, usually pleasurable.[1] typical stimuli include loud passages of music and passages that violate some level of musical expectation.[2]
my definition: “scorn” by portishead (a remix of glory box that i discovered from watching an old favorite movie, the craft). this song gives me serious frisson.
i’m really into this right now.
“kathleen” by catfish and the bottlemen. check it out.
