    Likewise! I hadn’t heard One Step Closer before but just checked out the most recent single and this is great stuff!

    Lament is far and away my favorite record of theirs, I’d recommend that as a good starting point!

    This is how I know Tilderinos are my people. Currently excitedly anticipating for the rest of the mewithoutYou live albums from their final tour. Anyone also enjoy Touché Amoré?

    Funded by a Kickstarter. That’s the first time I’ve heard of a scientific study funded that way, that’s kind of neat.

    Season 2 feels more episodic and slightly less cohesive as a whole, even though a few of the individual episodes are very cohesive within themselves if that makes any sense. There’s almost more high moments in season 2 but they feel slightly less connected together. That’s not necessarily a critique, just a difference I noticed. I still enjoyed each season equally.

    Severance is fantastic, expect a slow burn but the last episode of the first season is the most gripping 45 minutes of television I’ve ever watched. Second season is great as well.

    Oh absolutely, I picked up the vinyl yesterday and briefly combed through the rest of the album’s lyrics. Definitely dealing with the theme of abuse and childhood trauma and a loss of innocence in quite a few of the songs. I wonder if the woman and Doberman are representative of parts of himself?

    Like @cloud_loud said, ABQ is a much smaller airport than SLC. SLC is one of Delta’s main hubs while ABQ is definitely just a spoke. DEN is a United hub and is larger than SLC as well.

    It all depends on the mix to me, sometimes the Dolby Atmos mix was done really well and sometimes the stereo sounds way better. I have noticed that having AirPods gen 2 with a good ear tip seal has improved Spatial Audio a lot over my poorly fitting gen 1s.

    A favorite mix of mine where I think Spatial Audio sounds better than the stereo is Turnstile’s Blackout.

    It’s pretty good! I’ve enjoyed it enough to go learn the rhythm guitar part for the title track. I’ve never been a huge fan of Anthony Green’s vocals although I did really like the 2016 Saosin album and he’s pretty good here. The instrumentation is a lot of fun with lots of cool moments. Overall probably a 7.5/10 for me!

    The helicopter responded using a UHF frequency which is normal for military aircraft while civilian aircraft use VHF. Tower controllers typically “simulcast” on both UHF and VHF so when only the VHF frequency gets recorded or transcribed you tend to see what appears to be a one-sided conversation with military aircraft.

    Soap: I rotate between Barrister and Mann scents. Recently I’ve been a huge fan of Miur Wood and Le Grand Chypre but I love trying the seasonal scents, they also recently updated their soap base formula to a vegan base. I’ve also used Noble Otter orbit scent and enjoy it a lot.
    Bowl: Depending on how much time I have in the mornings I will either face lather or use a shaving scuttle which keeps the lather warm for when you apply and really enhances the whole experience.
