I've never been one for lyrics, but there's just something about Headache that I love, a mix of the profound and absurd. Vegyn's production is so good as well.

It was quite the bizarre realisation that most people actually can mentally visualise things, it stunned me to be honest and definitely felt weird for a while. I’ve read of some people becoming super depressed after finding out, I was bummed for a bit, mostly about how I imagine most people can dwell on fond memories aided by visual memory. On reflection I think explains a few things about me as a person and my preferences. The main two being that I have always loved music and film but struggled to get into fiction writing. I also seem to deal with grief quite quickly and always have done. The crazy thing to me is that it is such a recent discovery scientifically, you’d have thought this would have been known about for 100’s of years and well studied. I can definitely relate to a lot in the article, thanks for sharing.
Right, I’m off to sleep… where I do actually see things in my dreams!
Kinda feels like there should be an equation to work out optimal numbers for a social media site to gain traction, over what period and then what is the limit before it degrades to some sort of lowest common denominator. As it is, I’m a very happy lurker on Tildes and used Digg for all of a few days before giving up.
I trust content on Reddit less and less every day, and it honestly feels like a lot of the real users feel the same but can’t quite extricate themselves from it. There are some very useful subreddits I still follow, but anything big is pointless.
Niche is best.
