I’m going to talk about some serious stuff here so move along if you were trying to keep things light today.

Scott Hutchinson from Frightened Rabbit died by suicide in 2018. Throughout his music Scott often talked about anxiety and depression and suicide. I highly recommend Frightened Rabbits 2008 album The Midnight Organ Fight. I want to link every song from that album but I’ll limit it to just 3.

The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit

In this song he compares anxiety and depression to leprosy and asks the question to his significant other why would you love a modern leper? Are you a masochist?

Scott often said that he openly wrote and sang about his illness hoping that it would help someone else.

Head Rolls Off - Frightened Rabbit

In this song you’ll hear the lyrics “when my blood stops someone else’s will not” and “while I’m alive I’ll make tiny changes to Earth” indicating his desire to help others by sharing his feelings and his pain.

Floating in the Forth - Frightened Rabbit

In this song you’ll hear him ask the question “is there peace beneath the roar of the Forth road bridge?” and then make the somewhat hopeful statement “I think I’ll save suicide for another year.”

His body was found near the shores beneath the Forth road bridge near Edinburgh. Making this song so much more powerful knowing that he predetermined his death more than 10 years in advance and those thoughts were constantly with him.

You mean you’re about to die

Ooo thanks for the heads up. I liked their previous album.

Good mention. Love this album!

I know I’ve heard their “shitty” album and I liked it. I can’t remember if I’ve heard either of their first two

Breadcrumb Trail - Slint

Slint’s 1991 album Spiderland is one of my favorite albums ever. They haven’t done anything since and I have no idea what those guys are up to but I’d definitely be intrigued if they popped up again

Aquemini - Outkast

Outkast is one of my favorite hip hop artists and I would definitely be excited if they decided to do something together again.

I can’t argue against this. It’s an excellent album

FYI I see a typo on the short list. Frankie and the Witch Fingers. (Awesome band by the way)

Awesome picture! And I love how you transformed it for your album art
