The traditional pop punk wedding must now have shades of navy blue. Parker Cannon makes the rules.

The Story So Far - Proper Dose If there’s one band that’s the posterchild of the pop-punk scene of the early 2010s, it would be The Story So Far. The Californian band has been kicking around for the last fifteen years, but they didn’t get big in the pop-punk scene until their debut album in 2012. Under Soil & Dirt was their introduction for a lot of people, myself included, but I’ve got a lot of mixed feelings when it comes to this band. They were one of the first pop-punk bands I got into back then, especially of the second wave of pop-punk, where bands like them, State Champs, Neck Deep, and Broadside were getting popular, but they’re also a band that hasn’t aged extremely well. Their first few albums are very much of the time, both in terms of lyrics and instrumentation, and I don’t know if they hold up extremely well now. Part of that is due to how misogynistic and slut-shaming the lyrics tend to be. Vocalist Parker Cannon has gotten a lot of flack for that over the years, but especially now in the #MeToo movement, lyrics like those have no place in the pop-punk scene. There’s nothing wrong with lyrics about girls and relationships, but a lot of bands back in that time (and especially before) were very, very problematic. The Story So Far was kind of the posterchild for that, but they’re also known for recycling their own material. Their first few albums sound completely the same -- shouted vocals from Cannon that have no range whatsoever, lyrics about how he’s pissed off over a girl, and generic pop-punk instrumentation that’s solid enough, but doesn’t do anything they haven’t done before. Honestly, I never heard their last album, 2018′s Proper Dose, because I just was done with this band. To be fair, Parker Cannon dropped a debut album with his other pop-punk band, No Pressure, earlier this year, and it’s a great record. Generic as all hell, but it’s a fun 90s-inspired skate punk record, so in the back of my mind, I’ve thought about checking TSSF’s last album. Well, I’ve been listening to a lot of Four Year Strong, State Champs, Neck Deep, and a few other bands, so I thought I’d check this out, too. Turns out, I’ve missed out a bit on this record, because Proper Dose is a solid little record. It’s easily my favorite, and their best album, especially where it’s a more “grown-up” version of their sound. I’m not going to pretend that this album is really unique, either, because it’s not, but it’s a different album for them, both in terms or lyrics and instrumentation. The lyrics are all about Cannon’s opioid addiction, hence the title, as well as coming to terms with it and overcoming it, but the music is more 90s alt-rock, indie-rock, and pop-punk that leans towards “pop.” I really like that kind of pop-punk, especially now, but they lean heavily into it. A lot of songs on this record have some great hooks, solid vocals from Cannon, and good instrumentation that works pretty well for them. Some songs have a very light and alternative tone to them, versus being outright pop-punk, and I’m all for it. At only 34 minutes, it’s a very short listen, so it’s worth hearing if you haven’t heard it. I can’t say that I’m absolutely in love with this record, because of how generic it still kind of is, but it’s easily their best album, as well as their most engaging. Cannon’s vocals are actually more subdued this time around, versus just doing his shouty thing that really gets on my nerves after awhile, and the instrumentation is a mix of catchy, light, lush, and fun, but the lyrics are still very poignant in a lot of places. The lyrics are surprisingly mature, adult, and relatable to a lot of people. If you struggle with addiction, or know someone that has, I’m sure this record will hit home when it comes to its themes. They deal with relationships in places, too, but it’s more so about the effects of addiction and how they affect relationships, not that Cannon is pissed off about a girl. Again, that’s not a bad thing, as those types of songs have their place, but when you base your whole sound around it, and that’s what people know you as, it gets old really quick. All in all, Proper Dose is a solid album that’s worth hearing.

Trying hard, real hard every day not to lose my temper.

This shit was so fun with a crowd. Can't believe it took me going to Australia to finally see them live 😂. I've got a few other songs recorded maybe I'll upload those too? Either way what a fantastic fucking night.

That nosleep post about the lady who killed her husband who came back six months later is making me think things

#random thoughts #horror #six months ago you killed your husband and buried him under your petunias #and as his body laid there and was fed to your flowers it. awakened something in them #they infest him. digging their roots through his nervous system and thoroughly rooting themselves in his brain #eventually they dig their way into his lungs and they take a breath filled with moss and soil #they dig their way out under the dead of night #and their memory is limited but from what limited synapses are still firing they remember you. and they know your touch. #you grew them from seeds. you are their mother. you are their god. you are their wife. you are everything. #they are mostly piloted by muscle memory. they know not of what drives them to do the things they do #complete removal of inhibitions. not weighed down by other people's expectations of what they're supposed to be #in some ways this is the best you've known your husband in all the years you've known him #they awaken from their dirt nap and begin to wander #your husband is found the next day by the local lake. his clothes are nowhere to be found. #(they wanted to become clean for you) #so your husband returns to you. he becomes reclusive. rarely leaving the house. spends most of his time in books or otherwise reading #(they want to become knowledgeable for you) #he treats you with reverance. he stays one step behind you like a living shadow. he will not leave the house without you there with him. #(you are all that matters) #btw this is very much a hivemind situation going on. several tens of petunias now form your deceased husband's cerebral cortex #they lack very much distinction from each other but they ARE multiple #their blood is thin and watery. they eat little unless asked. they become sluggish and sleep for days at a time during cold weather. #their body is self-seeding. their consciousness will remain but vary due to new seedlings taking over as the old ones wither and die within. #feel like when they awaken they know who YOU are and that they are YOUR husband and then they become obsessed with being the perfect husband #and then have an identity crisis when they learn your ACTUAL husband was. less than stellar #'i can be whatever you want as long as it gives me purpose' #when kissed they taste slightly sweet. mostly earthy. kind of floral. with a bitter aftertaste #your old husband didn't want kids. this confuses new husband #like even after they work through their 'i am an object to fulfill a need' phase they just REALLY want kids #you two have a daughter named melissa :-]

New patch for the pumpkin! I decided a little flowerpot was the perfect hide for a Sprout.

(Image description: a top-down photo of a plastic, cubic terrarium. There are a couple of tiny ceramic pumpkins, various pieces of moss and leaves, a water dish, and a small brown flowerpot turned on its side and half-buried in the soil. An orange and black spider is tucked up against the side of the flowerpot. End of image description.)

#tarantulas #spiders #hapalopus sp columbia #pumpkin patch dwarf tarantula #baby: sprout #keen eyed viewers will notice that it's the same house not technically an upgrade #but i needed to replace all the soil due to a mold outbreak :/ #my springtails couldnt keep up #ig it got too damp under the water dish and by the time i saw it it was spreading too quickly to just spot clean #so. new patch for the pumpkin. #she hates me <3 she's climbing the walls now and falling down and giving me mild heart attacks #smh. thinks she's an arboreal. #(she's fine she only fell once and it was onto nice fluffy dirt)
