Discussion I’m going to a Halloween themed singles event tonight in my city and this is my costume Inspo, do y'all think people will understand?

Found this on Pinterest after a friend last minute invited me to a Halloween singles event tonight. I haven’t dressed up for Halloween in many years and then this seemed like a great idea.

My worry is I’m not sure anyone will understand the reference. but, I suppose if they do get it that could be a good talking point?

I dunno but I only have several hours to come up with something and I already bought the Alice in wonderland costume at spirit Halloween I just need to find chains somewhere but where ?? oh and I have black hair and didn’t want to get a blonde wig.

edit- I’m 21 so I don’t really expect my age to get it, but I’m not going for men my age here

Picture Update- Sorry to disappoint but the Halloween singles event got canceled so a friend and I went bowling but I did put together this AIC outfit in lieu of no costume to share.

I know my last post got a lot of feedback and I went and bought the costume and everything and then the event my friend and I were supposed to attend got canceled.

i do still plan to wear that whenever I get the chance but didn’t want to disappoint and still wanted to wear something alice in chains related tonight so went with this.

so basically I’m still single but did get to bowl

Anniversary Free codes in celebration of album's 30th anniversary🎊

0 Upvotes

Our debut album "The Scapegoat's Agony" turned 30 last November so we are giving away some free codes to celebrate this anniversary just a little bit longer🙂:

https://comabeach.bandcamp.com/album/the-scapegoats-agony

The album title "The Scapegoat's Agony" is an allusion to the play "Waiting for Godot" by Irish playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett and points towards the – for the most part – painful and excruciating emotional odyssey of the unnamed antihero.

Our musical influences range from Sex Pistols, Ramones, Hüsker Dü, Joy Division, The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain to Guns N' Roses, Therapy? and Bad Religion, with our songs frequently straddling the line between punk rock and alternative rock.

Discussion I got stoned and figured Kurt out

0 Upvotes

I sought this out tonight. I don’t know why but I just needed to watch the MTV unplugged out of the blue. Actually I wouldn’t say totally out of the blue as I had been listening to music for a few hours. But I didn’t plan on getting into this. I LOVE a handful of Nirvana songs and all of my favorite bands are influenced by Kurt. That being said I’m pretty naive when it comes to Nirvana as a whole. Which is why I think you may appreciate my observation.

Not only do I appreciate the music he created, but as a human psyche and a true crime junkie I happen to also be interested in his death. Having watched several of the songs from this set dozens of times over the years I still have not watched the whole recording. I was not exposed to Kurt’s mannerisms. I’ve only known Kurt from the start of a song to the end. And I just got to within the first 11 minutes and Hooo boy did I notice he was whacked out before this set.

As an alcoholic I know the slurring all too well. You end a word but the rest of it keeps on going. You think about how to start saying it so much to not seem wasted you forget how it ends and it smashes into a barrier. Inebriation can take multiple forms and severities. For example I can drink a 26 of alcohol in a comfortable setting but I feel like I can’t operate at all after having 3 drinks after work with my colleagues at a bar.

Kurt never wanted his songs to be a popular thing and he can’t cope with it. He has to get high as hell to play them to a crowd. He’s completely uncomfortable in his own skin.

The fact that he can be higher than giraffe pussy and feel comfortable playing this live on set is a testament to how high he must have been ALL OF THE TIME. The guy is an anxious wreck with no self worth and is completely uncertain of who he is in the mirror. Couple that with having a daughter and it’ll turn your life upside down. He was completely alienated yet in his own head yet oh so popular and handsome and “successful.” He didn’t commit suicide because he couldn’t handle who he was not; he took himself out because he had no idea who he was.

He would have been fine being a recluse making music for himself. And he should have continued to just do that. He wasn’t uncomfortable with fame and demands and he was unable to live without knowing who he was and couldn’t fake that any longer.

If this is common knowledge my apologies. Just have to write stuff down sometimes.

Local/own band Vocal melodies

6 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the right place for this but to any grunge musicians here, how do you come up with vocal melodies?

I can write good riffs and everything but for the love of ketchup I just can't come up with good vocal melodies

How do you do it?
