Just take the word “piss” out of the question and you’ll get the idea.

“Two Faces” is my go-to “I’m full of self-loathing and can’t stand myself right now” song.

“It’s Christmas so We’ll Stop” is literally the reason an estranged friend and I patched things up. We’d seen Frightened Rabbit together years before, and I set them the song, and they just wrote back “ok.” And that was it and we’re closer than ever now. This one really stings today.

I’ve been listening to his work all morning and finally broke down when “Floating in the Froth” came on. Jesus. It was all right there. Just terribly sad.

shit. i’ve never heard this one. watching it was something else. i’m sitting here in tears.

I just put a bunch of Frightened Rabbit stuff on shuffle because I couldn’t decide which album to listen to. And a ton of the songs have added weight now, but hearing him say “I’m dead now/check my chest and you’ll see/the life has been mined from me/burned for the heat” was sorta devastating.

Frightened Rabbit is one of my absolute favorite bands, in part because of the way their lyrics resonated with my personal experiences - especially depression. “Not Miserable” in particular was a song that helped me through so much.

I’ve been reading at the AVClub for 10-12 years. Long time reader of extended comment threads as well as content. I’ve never felt the need to comment myself until today. This news is absolutely devastating. I learned about FR and picked up Midnight Organ Fight way back based on the strength of the love and affection…

Chiming in from Scotland here: CineCraft is right about western society in general as people in Scotland (and the UK) as a whole gloss over mental illness. Things have gotten better over the years (the Scottish Government have pushed more for mental health acknowledgement), but there’s still a long way to go. RIP…

I’m devastated by this. Frightened Rabbit has been one of my favorite bands from the last decade. One of the ones I have listened to the most, always coming back to The Winter of Mixed Drinks and The Midnight Organ Fight. They wrote my favorite Christmas song “It’s Christmas so We’ll Stop.” It was always exciting to…

Awful news. RIP

I’m just crushed by this. Suicide took a family member just weeks ago and now this. I’ve never listened to an artist who could articulate the internal battle with depression so clearly, that instinct to withdraw, still yearning for connection with people, yet confronted with the truth that other people can’t solve the…

Very sad to hear this. It was clear from the music that Scott had some struggles, but I’d hoped that the release of subsequent albums meant he was managing. A reminder to get help if you need it.

I was just listening to Swim Until You Can’t See Land, which has now taken on an eerie and sadder meaning. This is so depressing. RIP.

How to make a Predator movie:
1. Establish a small cast of beefy sweat monsters as ridiculous over-the-top badasses, emphasizing characterization and destructive power over backstory.
2. Watch their egos crumble as they are picked off one by one by an invisible killing machine.
3. In the final act, the tables turn as the…

I bought a box of those ironically back in college, then used them to keep the two 40s in my messenger bag form clinking together as I carried them downtown for a party. I (unsurprisingly) spilled malt liquor all over myself a few hours later and the shamwows were actually incredibly competent at cleaning up the mess.…

“My wife hates crisp edges on fried eggs...”

“The worst part? All the utterly incompetent one-dimensional stock characters that wandered into my house to gawk at me and feign surprise at how affordable this cheap plastic crap was...”

If he’s calling AA a cult then he clearly isn’t studied in it at all. It’s just a group of people with a singleness of purpose: to stay sober. If you’ve never been an addict, you can never understand that voice telling you it’s ok to fuck your whole life up. AA is just a bunch of people who get it, and god doesn’t…
