Lots of really interesting juxtapositions both lyrically and musically. I'm going with 7 of my friends and we're gonna be in the pit! That's so exciting, I've always wanted to see them! Having something to look forward to is really important for morale for sure
Bopie5 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 @The Wordsworthian RIGHT!? It's gonna be the best night ever--I've seen some pics from this tour and it's visually so wild and beautiful. @SomeoneAcceptMe I have too! I've loved them since like 2013-2014, and I didn't go the last time I had the chance to see them, and have been regretting it for years...I'm just trying to put more and more good things on the slate for March-April.
jadeisokay Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 i am so jealous you get to see the 1975. they're my go-to jam music. Bopie5 1
Bopie5 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 @jadeisokay Same for me! Their music really just makes me happy and gets me amped up. I can't even imagine what it's going to be like in person. jadeisokay 1
havemybloodchild Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Congrats @Englishtea1!!!! I'm so glad the first result on here is an acceptance. Looking forward to hearing what other programs you get in to! Have fun, @Bopie5, I've never heard of that band, gotta check them out after seeing how much my fellow gradcafs love them.

Bopie5 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 @kendalldinniene You definitely do! I really recommend I Like America & America Likes Me, Love It If We Made It, I Couldn't Be More In Love, A Change of Heart, Paris, Robbers, Me, If I Believe You, and Inside Your Mind. That's like a million but yknow. The most famous ones are probably Chocolate, Sex, and The Sound, and those are all really good too! This gets me wondering--what kind of music do you all like? We've talked about books and movies, but not much about music yet.

We've talked about books and movies, but not much about music yet. I like classic rock, especially bands like ELO, and Fleetwood Mac. I also like folksy stuff like Fleet Foxes. When I'm studying and writing I listen to classical music, I can enjoy it without being distracted by it. Honestly though, I rarely listen to music these days, I mostly listen to podcasts. I'm super in to My Favorite Murder, and shows about medical history like Sawbones and This Podcast will Kill You. I also like Last Podcast on the Left and Shittown. I'm a huge true crime fan. victoriansimpkins 1

Like George Clanton, Nicolas Jaar, James Ferraro, etc. I’d highly suggest Clanton’s recent album, Slide. Also, i thoroughly enjoyed the 1975’s new album! velvetcactus 1
mandelbulb Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) miniature rant incoming aka reasons to hate academia #23894728934 i signed up to review for this interesting journal when i was in my MA program figuring i'd never be invited. of course, now that i'm not in my program anymore and i'm this weird transitional place called applying-for-PhD-programs we all know and love (ha), i get a request. i wrote to the editor asking if it was appropriate for me to review it, and while he said yes, he called me dear: "yes dear Jane." (my name isn't jane but i'm using it here as an example.) UM? now i don't want to. part of me wants to tell him it's rather patronizing and not to do that again, but the other part of me wonders if it's worth the confrontation. also i think i'll listen to the 1975 while at work given the recent convo! Edited January 15, 2019 by mandelbulb clarification!

Well that’s just disappointing then. I probably wouldn’t be able to resist pointing out how completely inappropriate it was ??♀️

When you said "(my name isn't jane)" I thought you meant that he'd called you by a different name haha. Still weird as hell to say "dear," and super uncomfortable imho.

Ooooh I love any music-based discussion, I have literally been spending all my anxiety-ridden time making Spotify playlists to match my neurotic array of moods. I'm really into Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Arcade Fire, Beach House, alt-J, Sufjan Stevens, Sharon van Etten, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, to name a few... but I'm missing a ton in that little list. mandelbulb, velvetcactus, havemybloodchild and 1 other 3 1

I have been doing the exact same thing! I think I make a new playlist every couple of days. Also, so with you on alt-J, Sufjan, Sharon van Etten, and Joni Mitchell--all faves of mine too!
