The last track on Confessions II, L.E.S. Girl, I shit you not sounds like s/t / Devotion era Beach House. Obviously it’s different in many ways but the similarities are quite noticeable if you’re a BH fan. Not sure if there is much overlap in fan bases here but I thought it was very interesting and surprising.
EDIT: Bahaha pitchfork said the same in their review!
Just finished the book last night after reading it for the past five weeks. Loved it. My best friend and I meet up every Friday and drink and watch movies and YouTube and generally hang out. I’ve been telling him quite a bit about the book and shown him a couple of DFW interviews on YouTube and he’s really interested in reading it, so I’m going to let him borrow it. I thought for our movie night this week we could watch The End of the Tour, but I’m wondering it there might be spoilers for the book at all, or how difficult it would be to enjoy without having read IF first. Would it be better to wait until after he’s finished with it? Or will it hype him up and help him enjoy the book even more? Thanks y’all. Happy to be in this sub as I didn’t want to engage at all before finishing - there are some really funny memes here.
Currently feeling super anxious because of this guy I've been seeing for about a month. We just went on our fourth date earlier this week and held hands for the first time through my initiation. We live in a somewhat (though not super) conservative country so that was a little difficult to initiate. I was hoping he would come over to my house this weekend to go to a local festival and then spend then night, but he told me he had to pass but would text me yesterday. He's always been very good (although slow) about communicating with me and doing things when he says he's going to do them, so between not being able to see him and not hearing from him I'm just not doing so well. He very recently moved and has been very busy in general, so I'm trying to take that into account but I don't know...
My main issue is that every time I date someone it feels so make or break for me, like I am never going to meet someone again. I haven't had a ton of success romantically, but I've been in two relationships in the past 8 years and dated around a bit. So I know that logically it's not true. I just don't know how to break this pattern of thinking. I'm thinking of returning to my home country (the US) next year to start life back up there in the DMV area. But I never had any luck dating when I lived there in my 20s. So that's also a major source of anxiety.
Just wondering if anyone else can relate to this, and things you did that helped? I am on medication for anxiety and depression, but I really should probably be back in therapy.
