Rozalla - Everybody's Free. Either that or something by Autechre.

thought you'd nominate some of the homoerotic fascist kitsch.

tbf no idea if this charted but it is so fascist, way more fascist than any rap could be. obviously with the proviso that affixing the characterisation of fascism to music is silly. But listen to that hyper portentous militant aesthetic. A bit like fascists and their overinvestment in saving the capitalist state.

i reckon posh english people got therapy in 2001 whether it was essential or not

There's the whole Woody Allen kind of thing of having a psychoanalyst in 70s New York, so that sort of thinking's been around for a while. You go to your analyst/therapist like you do your doctor or dentist, part of your schedule.

Hes drawing fine distinctions between coldplay and snow patrol. Hes writing dissertations about the kaiser chiefs. He knows natalie imbruglia deep cuts.

I know they are. What I'm saying is it's not inconceivable that there were people in England in the 90s and 2000s doing the therapy as part of a lifestyle thing we're on about as you already had people doing that at least as far back as the 70s in New York. It's not as recent a development as today's discussion online would suggest.

Probably a good thing as a lot of people are struggling, but sometimes feel it can make people worse and get them overthinking things which otherwise wouldn't have been an issue or bothered them.

Its infected everything. You dont need to have had it, just being introduced to the language and concepts is enough

I think it's a signalling thing on there. You're showing that you're 'working on yourself'. It's a 'green flag'.

It definitely doesnt help. May well make it worse

the weird thing is, i often have the impression it's usually the people that least need therapy. and it's just something that's part of their healthy lifestyle. but yeh that's only my intuition.

He does it with books and films too. Indiscriminately wolfs it all down. Whatevers in waterstones. Everything at the cinema.
