I had the two strangest experiences whilst reading this. The first one was that I was listening to a song that included the lyrics "next to me" as I got to the "next to me" artwork, and the second was that those lyrics are in a song by a band called Broadside who I was going to tell you about in my comment, but then I got to your "my remedy, your reverie" piece to discover that you already know them!!
I only knew Broadside's song "The Raging Sea" for the longest time, and then today I tried out the rest of the album and I'm in love with it. I also listened to their new album and goddamn are there some catchy songs on there.
I love the fonts you used in this post, particularly with the first and the last one. They're super unique, and are really memorable.
I just listened to Don't Come Down and it's so good. Another easy addition to my playlists. Keen to check out the other songs too!!
I'm glad you liked the Broadside song. It sounds like you've listened further than I have. This one song featured in the playlist is the only one I've listened to so far. But I'm definitely going to be listening to more, and I'll be sure to check out The Raging Sea.
I discovered the fonts recently through a website called Fontstruct, which I discovered from Mitchell Volk's newsletter here on substack. The site is for creating yoru own fonts, but a lot of the people who create fonts there make them available for public use:
For sure, The Raging Sea is worth checking out. I also feel like you might enjoy Dazed and Confused and How to Love, How to Lie on their newest album, for something a bit more upbeat. Or, at least, they're the ones I've been gravitating towards.
I'll check out FontStruct!! I imagine it could be really interesting to use when building images/stories from words. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks so much! I'll add these to my list. Hope Fonstruct is helpful or maybe at least inspiring, looking forward to seeing more of your image stories!

You may want to check it out. It might be something you can use in some of your text work.
I'm definitely glad you enjoyed the Maine song. I'll be sure to keep peppering them in.

What a beautiful line: "we are creatures who are born to transform pain into beauty." Never thought about it that way, but it certainly rings true!
I know right! It was such a good good interview! I highly recommend it!
I might just have to check it out!
Great sentiment, always loved his travels shows, but a sad ending. Have another earworm for you, might be fun. My name is carnival by Jackson S Frank.
I miss him dearly. Thanks so much for the song recommendation! I'm not familiar with, definitely looking forward to giving it a listen!
