Four bands that I helped release through Dadstache Records were included on a list of the 20 best tracks in 2014 from the city we all live in, which is pretty rad. We're also releasing a new EP from the first band we ever released, Skirts, this Friday. Should be a great house show, those are always a lot of fun. Edit: Are any of you spiritual? I'm not particularly religious, but sometimes I feel like things happen for reasons that are beyond me. I watched Senna tonight, and the entire time I couldn't help but relate parts of the movie to things I have experienced. Except, instead of carrying on, I quit and moved on to new occupations. Now I'm feeling an intense wave of regret, and a desire to reignite the competitive spark I once had in a sport. It's almost as if watching that movie was a way to say "maybe you should pick this back up" and continue the pursuit of being somebody great.
Sometimes I feel that we (you and I) are either connected by being of a similar age, or are connected through something else. Because sometimes you describe thoughts that I just recently had. Like never sticking with something and always chasing what is new. By the way, if the latter is correct (we are connected by something else than being of similar age), then maybe I should think a little more about spirituality... We had a podcast about spirituality and a good discussion below it some times ago.
Thank you for sharing that, it has been quite a while since I have listened to it (about 96 days, to be exact). Yes, I agree that it is possible to feel connected to people on a different level, even if it is people you have never met (such as you and I). While I think some of that can be ascribed to personal experiences, past lessons learned, and an outlook on life, sometimes there is more to it than that. The human condition is a weird thing, and I agree with you about thinking more about spirituality. What you have described, I have felt about numerous people on this site and others, and I think it's something worth thinking (and talking) about.
