Emotionally Drained... but feeling a hell of a lot better

Dec 06, 2009 00:00

A solution in multiple parts. I'm going back, now that I have gotten my head screwed on right again. Depressed Whogeek is going away, hopefully forever, and I'm gonna try again.

( This is what I've figured out: )

worried, found, college, confusion, rant, ramble, weirdness, lost, recentered

*rubs hands together* Muahahaha--okay, fuck it. You people are awake this goddamn early every day?! Yes, it's 11 AM, but this is the motherfucking middle of the night for me! Why can't doctors' offices be open past fucking 5? *is in cranky cat mode, hunching shoulders and going 'rrrrrr' at everything that moves*

Anyway. Was gonna leave you with this last night. It's another song for you, this one by Assemblage 23, called "Lullaby." I love Assemblage 23 to bits. Just... just don't ever listen to "30KFT" or "Disappoint" on your bad days, okay? Because once you do, you will fucking put them on repeat and never stop crying and listening to them. But anyway, "Lullaby."

"May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep ( ... )

Yes, most people are awake at 11AM. And hey, remember, I'm an hour ahead of you. I do cranky cat too! First time people see it really freaks them out.

Thanks for another song! Not my usual style, but I like the lyrics.

"Lullaby" is a song that's uncharacteristically quieter and smoother than Tom's usual stuff. Assemblage 23 is a one-man band and Tom Shear usually does almost-trance, almost-dance techno with (sometimes) some oddly depressing lyrics. But it's good music. Grab "I Am The Rain," "Awake," "Naked (the God Module Mix)" and "Let Me Be Your Armor" before you decide whether or not you like has stuff.

I like the lyrics, but, sadly, most techno tends to give me a headache. The pitfalls of working a sound-system. Feedback, squealing, and mic-buzzing pretty much ruined all techno for me. I know on one level that that's what the artist is going for, but certain sounds make me grind my teeth. Hence the headache.

He's quiet and calm techno, almost soothing with some songs, and it plays like it's meant to be listened to quietly. Not a lot of squealing.

And do you not own earplugs, or are these the vibrations that point and laugh at earplugs and go straight for the gray matter?

Earplugs do nothing for some of the major feedback and squealing I've dealt with. The kind that sends a rusty cleaver through the front/top of your brain. And make your entire skull vibrate. Most of it is that my brain has learned to associate those kinds of noises with "AH! NOT GOOD!!" Because usually, when I'm running a soundboard, it'll be for a play or a musical or a spoken event.

Mostly it was "I Am The Rain" that was making my head hurt, and was the one I was talking about. The buzzing on that one I associate with someone having a body mic under cloth or a beard. Which just makes me do my cranky cat routine, and whoever's working with me ends up getting shoved to one side so I can figure out how to use other mics so that whoever's wearing that one will still be heard, but no one hears the scratching on the mic.
