It is an unbelievable album (and the Antlers are incredible as well). The alternate song titles are so harrowing. I am a huge fan of Bright Eyes ("No One Would Riot For Less" is one of my all-time favorite songs off their album Cassadaga), Bon Iver, Keaton Henson (have you ever listened to Soko? She's sort of similar and they used to date), and Florence + The Machine as well. Wow, we are kindred music spirits! It's truly unbelievable! I used Bear in a theatre piece last year and I almost cried every time--"We'll make only quick decisions", ugh. Wow, we truly are! Love to find that. I haven't listened to Soko, but now I'll definitely have to check her out. Keaton is another great option of music for crying, haha! The Wordsworthian 1
jadeisokay Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 bright eyes are one of my top faves. lifted is the soundtrack to my emo high school days, haha. and the mountain goats are a treasure. The Wordsworthian and illcounsel 2

Have been lurking here for a while and y'all seem like really nice people. Does anyone have any idea what the interview is supposed to consist of? The DGS emailed me and said there'd be dinners, social events, a city tour (??), and interviews with faculty. It's a four-day thing and that feels like a super long time. Let me know if anyone knows anything about the interview process. I'm super anxious about it. Maybe search the previous threads to see if anyone talked about their Emory experiences? If it's 4 days they're probably investing a significant chunk of coin into putting you up, transportation, etc. so they're really trying to impress you as much as you'd like to impress them--it's yours to lose at this point, so no need to be super anxious! There are usually events to show you what life is going to be like in the area, hence the city tour. EDIT: And, of course, congrats on the interview!

pdh12 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 yea, that sounds like less interview, more recruitment—super congrats! mustmatatus 1

From my understanding, Emory does make its decisions on who to admit based on the interactions. They tend to accept from that list and waitlist the remainder of applicants from those invited. mandelbulb 1

The Wordsworthian Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 @mandelbulb I'm SO jealous that you've seen Death Cab and The National in concert! I feel as though I have not seen enough live music as I'd like. Luckily for me the artists I tend to listen to the most have affordable tickets when they do tour.
mustmatatus Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Thank you everyone! Yes, it does sound like a recruitment weekend, rather than a formal interview process. Excited to visit Emory though! mwils15 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! I love listening to stuff like this while writing, reading, etc. so thank you for these recommendations! All new to me! The diverse music taste in this group is awesome; I'm happy to see so much more than huge pop artists haha. My music tastes are all across the board. Any Ásgeir fans? Or maybe because you guys seem to know and love the National...Dismemberment Plan? lyonel_ 1
jadeisokay Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 the dismemberment plan! AHH, i listen to them pretty much every day. "ice of boston" is the only holiday song that exists in my world.

Lots of fun and interestingly enough Ice of Boston was the song when they chose to call people up on stage to jam out. jadeisokay 1
sad_diamond Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Anyone else here obsessed with Rosalía's 2018 album El Mal Querer? It's all I can listen to...
jadeisokay Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 ooh, haven't heard of it but i officially trust everyone's taste on here. @velvetcactus i am so jealous you got to see them. lately also jamming a lot of Thursday because i finally get to watch them perform next month playing my favorite album of theirs in entirety. my punk heart will sob. illcounsel 1

I’ve just been reading her poetry since I found out this morning, feeling very sad but also grateful for her talent and outlook on life.

I woke up this morning with a notification in the group chat from my abroad semester with the news article announcing it. Oliver was such a compassionate genius and her words have been so comforting to me at so many points in my life. It's a sad, sad day. ?
