  • Thanks, that’s really helpful.

    I agree that giving all homeless people homes isn’t just going to fix any underlying mental health problems, but I think there’s an argument for recognising that in some cases mental health conditions are a response to environment, rather than having a purely pathological cause. Addressing those environmental factors (like no access to stable housing) can make a huge difference.

    And even if access to stable housing doesn’t resolve the major cause of someone’s mental health issues it’s still going to be of benefit alongside other treatment options.

    Edit: also I’m glad your friend is doing well in her treatment. I’ve seen how difficult it is to treat.





  • The snare sounds on White Pony are incredible. I remember reading that Abe Cunningham spent a lot of time experimenting with different snare sounds for each track and I love that kind of attention to detail.

    My snare drum obssession is the snare on Isis’s album “Oceanic”. It’s perfect for the style: it’s boxy, and the mids and bass aren’t scooped out. The result is it sounds really full and big in the mix. I love it!









  • No, they have not.

    From an article on a recent boycott of the group at an Australian music festival:

    Organisers of protests across the country have called for a boycott of the duo, with activist group Stop War On Palestine in particular alleging:

    1. That they have publicly supported “every major assault on Gaza in recent years - including Israel’s current genocidal war.”

    2. The cover of their 2023 single, ‘Dance Forever’, "featured an Israeli flag blanketing all of historic Palestine.”

    3. One half of the duo, Amit Duvdevani’s claims that supporters of Palestine are “brainwashed”.

    4. A regular collaborator Skazi’s comments that his fans should “dance on the ruins of Gaza”.

    5. Continued donations by the duo to the Tel Aviv Foundation, which has ties to the IDF, along with Tribe of Nova, whose co-founder launched an intelligence platform that supplies intelligence to the Israeli military.

    Links to sources for those points are in the article.
