I'm here listening to frakking Kidneythieves and thinking... "This is awesome. Why can't people appreciate music for its creative influence." and I miss that. Bruce Somers delivers a percussion-focused rock in a melodic/rhythmic sense, heavily reliant on electronics most but all is likely possible with a kit. The guitar is light and takes less attention when desired from the deeply apparent ambient synthesizers. The singer Free Dominguez, demands attention during most of her singing but when she wants to fall back in priority, her voice is softened and actually sounds distant. There are soft, reverberating vocals and hints of piano throughout the album Taxicab Messiah, as well as the use of violins and it all comes together to create a deeply thought-provoking and slightly disturbing musical experience falling under the category of light industrial music and it could easily be considered a good way to take a step into industrial music.

I highly suggest you take a listen and see for yourself. There are strong lyrics and language used and hints of a subdued solitude that to me, actually reminds me of how the world is. There is no life without inherent loneliness at times. You can also find strength and determination, so there is no shortage of reasons to take a few minutes to listen to some tracks or maybe play through an album to form a solid opinion.

We may feel the temptation of giving into stress over COVID-19. The virus will act just like any other. During cold and flu seasons, you should take appropriate steps to shield yourself from exposure.

Avoid unnecessary public appearances and giving into overactive fears. When people react aggressively, they can act without thinking. This is something we need to avoid in order to slow down any socially transmitted virus.

All we can actually rely on at this point is our ability to wash up and count on our immune systems. Stay with a handful of trusted friends to keep yourselves busy and happy. Cheer yourselves up and be sure to avoid crowds.

Don't isolate completely and if you are alone, stay busy and cheerful. Paraphrasing Yoda... Loneliness leads to sadness, sadness leads to discomfort, discomfort leads to anxiety, anxiety leads to fear, fear leads to ... well, not hate or the Dark Side... but it does lead to people acting against common sense.

If you have a question or a thought you can't clarify, don't necessarily count on the internet. If you do, check at least 3 sources. Talk to your friends and think pragmatically. Wash your hands often and try to buy less expensive food in case this lasts longer than you may expect.

You may want to think about downsizing your meals if you are on a budget or have lost work. In fact, if you expect the possibility, you should consider it as well. These are all basic, but important things to think about

If you do lose work, try to find another source of income from home or another place that's still open. If you must, look into filing for unemployment. It may seem a little severe, but every little thing can help, especially when you have a family. Just be sure to cancel when the situation is resolved.

In all honesty, your two best defenses in this situation are a positive attitude and keeping yourself and your environment clean. Be nice to the people you meet and keep your distance at the checkout when buying groceries.

To help keep you calm and happy, give yourselves a movie night more often than usual. If you never do, now is a wonderful time to start. Keep them cheerful unless you're like me... I'm a bit odd, but I always end with a comedy special or something of the like.

If you're playing video games at a friend's house, bring some hand sanitizer or alcohol wipes and maybe your own controllers. I'm not telling anyone to hunker down just yet but take appropriate precautions.

Change the filters in your HVAC systems... the heating and air conditioning units in your house. Dust off your air purifiers, grab fresh filters for those and put away your humidifiers. Viruses like to chill in humid environments.

If you absolutely need to go out, while pumping gas, wipe the pump handle with alcohol, or simply grab a good bag or backpack and walk or ride a bicycle.

These are just a few steps we can take. Above all stay calm. We'll get through this.
