SONG RECS!!

For all of y'all TDH fans looking for more music. While ofc there's no other artist quite like them, I do have a compilation of others that remind me of them in some way.

Idk anything about music, so this is just a dump for my personal thoughts and not actual reviews. I tried to focus mainly on smaller artists here ^^

Adjy

I love Adjy so much. Please go listen to The Idyll Opus, especially if you're reading this in the summertime. It's such a rich, ambitious album with so many layers to unpack and it never fails to make me tear up a bit. It's so beautiful and melancholy and it perfectly encapsulates the feeling of summer.

Black Dime Cabaret

Another criminally underrated artist, Black Dime Cabaret is absolutely worth checking out. If you're into rock operas, this is your jam. My personal favorite of theirs is The Man Without Morality. I'm also really obsessed with Knock Knock right now. Such a fun and unique sound (and a cool story, too!)

The Republic of Wolves

Their music really messes me up. But in a good way. I don't know what else to say other than that you should definitely go listen to them because damn. I LOVE their work and if you like Shrine please go check out the rest!

Dispirited Spirits

Lush and a bit surreal? Not quite sure how to describe Dispirited Spirits but their music is definitely an experience. It sounds like outer space and it's very fluid and extremely cool. I'll leave it at that. Former Living Things might be my favorite from them.

Pete Davis

This one's very folk and a capella, but I do really love Hapax Legomena and I hope anyone who reads this post does too. A short album (just 12 1-minute long songs!) but it crams in a lot of emotion and cool sounds. I'm obsessed with Before The First Shelves Fell especially.

Southern Empire

I haven't listened to this one as much as the others, but I really love their style and I've been enjoying this album a lot lately. Would definitely recommend Another World to any Antimai fans out there.

The Morgana Phase

Science fiction albums my beloved. Awesome albums, awesome sound. Delightfully surreal and immersive. 10/10. No complaints. I love The Morgana Phase. They deserve so much more love.

"What if it means nothing?"

[loveandknowledge]

[To reestablish the role of lawyers as servants of society and the bond-servants of justice, we must] recall lawyers to the service of the nation as a whole, from which they have been drifting away; to remind them that, no matter what or how great the necessity for specialization in their practice of the law, they are not the servants of special interests, the mere expert counsellors of this, that or the other group of business men; but guardians of the general peace, the guides of those who seek to realise by some best accomodation the rights of men.

Woodrow Wilson in ‘The Lawyer and the Community’ (1910), as quoted in ‘Our Bicentennial Crisis’ by Pete Davis

Pete Davis: Why do we love committers?

“Why do we love committers but act like browsers? I think it’s because of three fears. First, we have a fear of regret: we worry that if we commit to something, we will later regret having not committed to something else. Second, we have a fear of association: we think that if we commit to something, we will be vulnerable to the chaos that that commitment brings to our identity, our reputation,…
