Re-reading Lord of the Rings at the moment, and I'd forgotten how relentlessly Gandalf drags Hobbits.
"Of course, The Enemy has overlooked one thing: dipshits such as yourself, Frodo. Buffoons with fat feet and shithole burrows. Yes, perhaps your painful loser energy may surprise Sauron yet!"

You know wine/food pairings? What about feeling + riff pairings? New album has the following:
- Imposter Syndrome + Weird 7/8 riff
- Grief + drop D riff in 15/4
- Emotional Risk Taking + twisty drop D riff in 4/4
- Suspecting you might be a psychopath + driving chromatic bass riff

- Suspecting you might be a psychopath + driving chromatic bass riff
Today is release day for To Risk Your Heart by my band High Wire Act.
It's 9 songs about feelings and loud guitars, and possibly a secret alien but that might be a metaphor.
Please have a listen over on bandcamp (or wherever you like to stream music)

Title track is about taking emotional risks, I Have A Mask is about imposter syndrome, When The Lights Go Out is about ... Erm... Psychopaths. Probably.

This is a very wholesome satisfying thread. I would be bad at all these jobs.
As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.
