Is this an old person thing? Do people actually do this?

    Well first of all, cool username.

    Secondly, this is crazy… I have thought it a complete waste of time for most of my life, up until 35ish. I still think it’s useless, but I do it and I find the comfort of those tightened well arranged bedsheet a solace. A relief from the hardships of a life of modern slavery.

    Anyway, Dead Moon’s great and I’m an old person.

    Post scriptum: my SO adds that making the bed in the morning gives strong feelings of accomplishment, order and power over their life, that are needed to face a new day…of slavery under the tiranny of injustice…

      Thank you! You’re the first person to catch that song reference. Dead Moon is way underrated.

      I will admit it’s very comfortable when I make the bed after washing my sheets. I just don’t like making the bed, especially in the morning. Maybe it’s me being, tired, busy, or lazy. In any case, it gives me something to look forward to when washing sheets.

        The person who introduced me to Dead Moon said something like “they inspired a lot of great bands but few people know/like them”. And it’s terribly true, isn’t it?

        I’m lying in bed and I’m glad I made it this morning

          I remember reading somewhere that Kurt Cobain was a fan, so much so he invited them to open for Nirvana in 1992. Dead Moon was touring New Zealand at the time and didn’t want to cancel a gig for a better gig.

            Hahaha great story! I love how their lack of success seems like a self inflicted mediocrity plague. I really love “bad” music.

            Kurt Cobain also helped bring attention to Daniel Johnston by wearing his shirt on stage at his big mtv appearance. Another great “bad” artist I love.
