As a musician, you would think I listen to a lot of music very often, but I actually do not. I find that i’m incredibly sensitive to music, like emotionally sensitive and also very easily distracted by it so it’s difficult for me to have music on in the background because i start listening too closely and thinking about the lyrics, instruments, melodies, etc. too much haha. This album is my most played album since like 2014. It’s the only thing I can listen to regardless of whatever mood i’m in (especially if i am in a bad mood) and helps me channel the darkness into something good. I guess Electric Wizard could be described as “stoner metal.” All of their music is extremely slow, dark, sludgey, repetitive. The riffs bend in very evil yet very soothing sounding ways that I find quite comforting! Historically, I don’t smoke weed but I feel like this music gives me the positive psychosomatic effects of weed without the paranoia. Their album “Dopethrone” also fucks hard and has a sick cover lol.
something/anything happens in public, and you glance over to the closest/whoever person next to you, and it's a "did you see that" kind of eye contact that incites an emotional response, sometimes leading to a conversation, sometimes just a smile, the kind of connection that can spontaneously turn the mood of a day around and i find that so so fun and beautiful
gotta visualize and build what we desire, and writing for me is a good test of actually knowing and grounding myself through the whims of distraction i find myself engaging with
