Beginning bellicose bourbon benders.

PancakeBrah · 10-09-2014, 10:52 PM

Bellicose is a Top 10 word.

It is great

It's one of my favorite albums, full stop.

'A Pot in Which to Piss', 'Theme From Cheers', 'A More Perfect Union', and 'To Old Friends and New' (in particular) are all perfect, really. No lousy tracks.

Very nostalgic album.

Certain · 10-09-2014, 11:33 PM

@Split, you asked for folk suggestions. That's more PancakeBrah's genre, but here are a few:

On the more alt-country side:

But I would point you to the old school above all else:

Says a few, posts 9.

Oh Certain.

My best friend from Ohio got divorced. They were married for, roughly, 6 months. They have a son together. They split because he was flirting, some rumors say more, with some other woman. He had been since before the wedding. Or, there were hints of discord because of his constant contact with the other woman. They separated, he got the other woman pregnant, wife found out, now they're divorced. From what he's posted on Facebook, and my text/chats with him, he's beyond happy, and contented. Has child support and now a second mouth to feed with a duplicitous woman who doesn't mind fucking a married man. His wedding, where I was a groomsman/gave a speech, kind of fucked me up. Beautiful ceremony, their son bringing the rings down the aisle, etc. Got me all depressed. I'm not one to blame others or situations on my own problems but it did cause a slide (started smoking again that night but that was a confluence of the circumstance and the fact I was in a warm situation contrasting the dearth of fulfillment here in NoDak) that I haven't really recovered from. So my whole existential/emo bullshit seems for naught, as I'm competitive and it was based on me feeling inadequate because someone, who is indeed a great friend, that I think of as 'lesser' than me being happy, and fulfilled in a marriage. Which is almost queer. But speaks to my family situation, which I won't get to on Netcees, more than anything. So to see him fine with a fucked situation now, seems to have me more mad. Happiness is an almost impossible state for some people, just due to genetics and life history. I'm resigned to that category, I think.

I don't believe in God or any fairy tales but I feel like inside people there is a freedom and a peace (I guess in some way a happiness)) that is not based on worldly matters, but on complete surrender to their true self, which is difficult because it's the opposite of what we are told to be.

just a feeling, i dunno, i'm depressed as fuck most of the time.

I agree. I think a lot of your neutral posting in Discussion is a bit off, no offense. But this is something I agree with. If you accept that religion is just a false construct, which it seems we both do, then the point of life, besides children, is to be happy. That's about it. It's just finding that equilibrium. Knowing yourself and having the means to arrive at the minimum plateau you need, individually, to just be fucking happy moment to moment.

Or whatever.

No offence taken, I just say things I think, the things that make sense in my life, I am sure I am wrong often.

I hope things get better for you, and yo, write about the shit.

Certain outdoes in me in any form of musical reference. I don't know most of what he listed. So here are some cool, if not known, songs

^you can smell the patchouli

^posted this before. album version isn't folk. and this probably really isn't, either. but this is 10/10 stuff.

Certain · 10-09-2014, 11:46 PM

Some of what I posted wouldn't be called folk. It's such a tough genre to define, since some people would say only acoustic counts. And I have absolutely no interest in Cat Stevens or Donovan or the Guthries.

Split · 10-09-2014, 11:49 PM

Cat Stevens>>>>

Will check all these out when I'm not on my phone

Certain · 10-09-2014, 11:54 PM

If you like Bob Dylan, The Tallest Man on Earth is a must-listen.

Split · 10-10-2014, 12:00 AM

What words mean to you is the exact balance of every human relationship. That is it and there is nothing more. It's sublime in the classical sense.

It's a mindfuck to realize that balance is always changing, shifting.
