I can't seem to ummm legally read that article. 12ft and the hold x didn't work...

I can’t seem to get it either sad.

Probably just another reason to be cynical about things anyway. The news is quite fucked up today. I'm listening to eastern European goth music to calm my nerves.

I don’t watch or read news but do take a personal interest in art and the business of art so it’s kind of killing me I can’t read this story right now lol,

now tell me more about this eastern European goth🙂

https://russianpostpunk.bandcamp.com/album/--43

This is the album I played tonight.

If you enjoy that, progress to here.... https://youtu.be/WPBmUh5Q-dU or https://youtu.be/iYhtwRZVEiM Then youtube search russian doomer music

then simply allow youtube's algorithm to take you places and find these bands on bandcamp.

I should add, it's hit and miss. But there's so much good stuff I've basically ignored western music since about 2018

Hey thank you. I’m always searching new music and there are some nice things here. I wish I could understand Russian now lol.

It;s a pretty deep rabbit hole and you get used to hearing the words it's just melody, darkness. Some of the bands are from ukraine, georgia, belarus etc. so they're stuff is in their own launguage also . I've learned to read cyrillic not very well and it matters not when you don't know the language

Ye, I tried that, didn't work for me. Probably ok not reading it. I've got something on at 7 then it's star trek / cat cuddles and bed. Thanks for the tip, I'll probably work out how to use it another time :)
