Visual decay just killed me...

[Cross666]

Hey guys..

the last 48 hours has been one of the most testing and mind-numbing moments of my life. Last night I checked out of the hospital with a "severe inner-infection" diagnosis and was prescribed some real Hard Core antibiotics (no big deal, I like living the "Hard" lifestyle :P)

But I was held up in the waiting room for 5 hours until they were forced to check me into a room due to my vitals suddenly becoming irregular.. and today I had to trekk out into the urban reality that is a decaying mess, twice. Emptying my bank account to afford this prescription was easily the more heart-wrenching thing I had to do... fucking health insurance.. what is that? Whatever it is, I need it. Looks like I wont be getting FL 9 after all.

The best part was dealing with some haggard fucking burnout on the way back to my accommodations, and I mean haggard. This guy makes the grizzliest NGers look like little girls... then after just dealing with this belligerent bloke, I started to notice how everyone around this area is part of a hopeless decay.. I have lost my mind and inspiration gentlemen. I sat down soon after my return.. in hopes of taking my mind off this miserable filth I call my community by making some raunchy music... only to find I feel it's lost its purpose.

How can one make music when the very people we are surrounded by thrive to be nothing more than leeches and users (like opiate-addicted users)

So I ask you all, anyone .. whoever .. give me something to listen to, be it your music.. or someone you've discovered, because I am at a loss for all inspiration. For how can one be inspired when he sits upon a throne of trash?

That's a shitty day man, but do we really need another 'i need inspiration' thread?

Listen to it, now.

But really... You're in the same boat as a lot of us now. Welcome to the party.

[nubbinownz]

can I have your stuff ?

SRSLY though. I know exactly what you mean. Truth be told this is the best time to make music. If you can capture that hopelessness and desolation that you're feeling right now and toss it into some music, you're going to find a whole different style of music you didnt' even know you could make.

And you can take that to the bank.

The time will come IMO. You know it's sold online as a license right? Free updates etc?

Sorry to hera about the shitty situation.
When I'm own there are two options for me:
1 - Nice calming, soul healing music.
2 - Extremely powerful and energetic metal.

For the first option I would go with Pat Metheny Group, albums like "Offramp", "We Live Here", "Secret Story", "Map of the World", "Imaginary Day" or "The Way Up".
For the second option I would go with Testament, Pantera, Korn, Static-X... etc.

Oh man, to me it sounds like you need to get out of here. Stop trying to crank out music and go enjoy the world. There's a lot of really awesome stuff out there that people miss, just because they're not looking for it. Try getting to a park, go on a hike, find the complexity of the world that we take for granted.

Don't forget to pack sandwiches, and maybe bring a close friend along with you.

[LogicalDefiance]

I suggest using your situation to your advantage. Try to write music to emotionally capture what your going through WHILE your still experiencing it. Some of the best music is made this way...

damn dude. that blows.

listen to some radio head (listen to the song "there,there" its amazing)
or maybe some classical!

Radiohead - Nude (Spor Remix)

Always a song that gives me inspiration.

Hahaha, actually Nude is a really nice song, but I think Stompbox is my most preferred remix Spor has done.

:D Thanks guiz, I am feeling better. I think I'm going to take a small break from audio and explore some new paths for inspiration.

[JackRocker]

i recommend the band 311. mix of rap, rock, reggae, and funk. it's really relaxing.

And eventually, some people realize they are the only thing keeping the decay of our civilization at bay.

Listening to these albums always cheers me up a bit:

Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place
Monster Movie - Last Night Something Happened

And you might want to check out this very hard to find World's End Girlfriend song that was part of a Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind cover album:

World's End Girlfriend - Kira Kira Gibri, Nausicaa Requiem and Kimi wo Nosete

I had to download a Japanese p2p program to get it.
