It looks so much like one of your illustrations walked off the page

Yeah? It was always a name I heard floating but never listened to. I think there was some popular goth rock in the nineties (when I was a kid) that ruined the genre for me.
This song they put on made me look up and go "holy shit, wait, really?" Totally not what I expected.

I guess this is how I discover I actually like Sisters of Mercy. Huh. Awkward 😅

Oh my god it's so so silly but like, at night when it's super quiet and somebody slams a car door. 😅 I know. It's ridiculous. It's just the best feeling

I debated between the motivational message, and the "tough love" one which goes "if you think every single story you write is supposed to get published, hahahahahahaha oh my"

The same kind of sound will always give the same sensation! (For example, deep thumps always go from toes up, under the skin.) Some are strong, some barely there. Stronger if I'm relaxed and actually listening, barely there if I'm not. The brain normalizes it like any other signal, really!

Only brainless things! Running, dishes, sure. Body is doing one thing, brain is listening to music. Putting music on while I work with my brain is pointless, I either stop hearing it or it drives me batty and I need to turn it off.

Definitely doesn't go both ways! Just sound to tactile. I don't know about distracting, because if I'm listening to music, that's the only thing I'm focused on. And if I'm not listening to it (like ambient supermarket) it doesn't really have that effect! Or it's so faint it's nothing

no no no you don't get to come to my house with Ohia, I come to *your* house with Ohia.
Goddamit, Sullivan. I'm not supposed to like you *more*.

I just said "I remember listening to that one on repeat for ages!!" Four times in like twelve songs, get this playlist away from unsuspecting victims 😅

Okay this first track made me smile. Maybe a little too cheery for right this minute but I'm saving it for tomorrow

on the other hand, I absolutely will refuse to even see something just because everyone is raving about it. I have no excuses on that one 😅

I don't know, you're kind of an exception! You like what many many other people like... who are nowhere near you in the slightest

Not in this email! But I did have a wee <3 at the end. Can't take ourselves too seriously, it's unhealthy

I just looked it up and using my house and that village's general store as end points, it would be 6k! Not at all unreasonable, the hard part is that there's a great big stonking hill between them.
