Have listened to the studio recordings and officially released live stuff like the factory show (my absolute favorite) and high wycomb. What are some other amazing concert or amazing sounding concert recordings? I know paradiso gets high praise
So I like to make mixtapes for my friends on CDs. I wanted to give them one and tell them it’s full of really emotional songs that mean a lot to me, but really it’s the weirdest songs I have in my library, here’s the tracklist right now.

What’s the new Mary Jane - the Beatles

I know it leans very heavily on the Beatles and the beach boys lol, but I would love some recommendations if you guys have any!!
I read yellowface first and really enjoyed how funny it was, then I read My Year of Rest and Relaxation which is probably my favorite book of all time. I absolutely loved the narrator, how darkly funny it was, and I really liked how the plot was very loose, it was just the narrator living their life. I think that’s what I value most in books, I really love the insights into a characters mind and life. Homesick for another world was great as well, and I just finished tender is the flesh and it literally made me a vegetarian😭. It was a very visceral read but very eye opening as well.
Anyway, I realized most of my taste and favorite books align with this sub, so I wanted to know if you had any recommendations on what I should read next? I have a little list of some titles I’ve picked up from this sub, but wanted some thoughts from you guys as well!
To my list I’ve added Nightbitch, Piglet, Lost Lambs, Earthlings, The Guest, Nerve Damage, The Lamb, and A Good Person.
The Unforgiven and Lapvona definitely caught my eye, but I’m not as big of a fan of the medieval or religious vibe of either, I much prefer stories like Rest and Relaxation that are more contemporary (I think that’s the right word)
Sorry for the wall of text, also, I might try and stay away from books about cannibalism for the time being😅
I like the version of the beat on cuck a lot more cause it sounds more aggressive with the synth and drums, but the mumble AI vocals totally ruin it. Someone help please🙏
Chill yall we’ll get it at some point this weekend it was never gonna drop at 12 exactly tho bro😭✌️if he won’t do it for the official album he def won’t do it for the deluxe
Interesting because I know for sure it wasn’t there as recent as a month ago. Wonder why it got added?
Seeing as how this is the only (?) song from that era that doesn’t talk about nazis, it seems more apt for discussion as time goes on.
How did you feel when you first listened to it?
What are your thoughts on the music video?
How has it resonated with you?
Cousins is a very interesting song for me. And it’s out of character for me as It comes from an era that I think should absolutely be left in the past and not talked about anymore. But something’s really different about this song. Of course on a technical level it’s shitty. The mixing is ass, it’s shitty AI over Dave blunts vocals, Dave blunts lyrics, and the second half is just a Dave blunts song (10 percs.) that being said, it’s such an interesting listen to show where ye’s mental state was at the time. I think the song, sonically, perfectly represents repressed childhood trauma. The music video is also very creepy and interesting, almost like an analog horror.
