“I wanna watch them burn it down
So I can breathe again”
Yelling along to this song in my car has been the catharsis I needed this week.

i value repetition & loudness (volume & atmosphere) for my meltdown music . both of these songs (by julian casablancas & the voidz + sufjan stevens) have almost meditative flows that you can tap into especially when listening loud & on repeat , building until they are all encompassing .
the heavy distorted riff in sadness & the mantra of i want to be well (i‘m not fucking around!) have been steady accompaniments to many of my meltdowns , spiritual & otherwise .
tbt to scream/crying i want to be well in the car on calgary highways 🤘🥲

“You can find me drifting slowly
Sinking beneath the sea
Try to catch my breath
A silent struggle drowned in my apathy”
I‘ve only recently gotten into emo music, and this is a perfect depiction of the resigned frustration so many people suffering from depression have. Not to mention an amazing switch up towards the end. Watched it in concert in Berkeley and the crowd surfing was insane.

This song picks at my anxiety while also validating it (would not rec if you’re actively spiralling!)
sometimes you’ve just gotta try to headbang the neurotic feels away

📍
Log off Amazon prime and step into the real world. Go to a local physical store in your community. Look your neighbor in the eye and put money in their hand.
Go to a local venue and hear what musicians in your community are creating. Talk to them about it afterwards. Buy a T-shirt or cd or whatever they’re selling, they’ll make more money from that than from thousands of streams. Seriously, Spotify pays a fraction of a penny per stream.
Forget about Starbucks. Check out a local coffee shop instead. Learn your barista’s name and tip them.
Go to your local book store and library. Look around and see what book covers catch your eye. Ask employees for recommendations instead of just reading whatever’s trending on #booktok.
Go to your local museums, farmers market, theaters, restaurants, whatever your community has going on.
When you go local, you see your community in a new way. You make friends and feel more connected to the people around you.
You will discover new things organically instead of relying on an algorithm. You keep your money circulating in your community instead of making billionaires richer. You will have a greater appreciation for where you live.
P.S. Pay In Cash
