  • Kinda re-discovered Mazzy Star last year, extremely good! Lots of melancholic nostalgia.
    I remember my mom listening to it a lot when I was a kid in the mids 90s, it was a hard time for her as she had just separated with my dad. Being a single mom, with me at around 5 years of age and my little sister at 3 years old she had found several female musicians with powerful music that helped her get through life at that point. These aren’t specifically musically related to Mazzy Star but they are closely related in my heart, and all highly recommend, some of my earliest memories:

    The Sugarcubes - Birthday (I turn to a pile of mush when I listen to this, in a good way of course)

    Angelique Kidjo - Agolo (the whole album rhis is from, Ayé, is so damn good)

    The Cranberries - Zombie (No need to say anything here other than “holy shit” at the view count)

    Thanks for posting!


  • I don’t think there will ever be a place like the old web again. Lemmy is better than reddit, but lots of the crap from there is just as common here, stuff that really wasn’t as common before. I’m absolutely certain a disturbing amount of people say dumb shit, make spelling mistakes and stuff like that simply to get “interraction”.
