At home, my kids will sometimes play Have a Nice Life on the Amazon Alexa to bother me. That's the extent to which it's encroached on my life.ĭAN BARRETT My work life intersects with my musical life exactly zero percent of the time. TIM MACUGA This year was sort of a milestone - in that I was asked to sign copies of it by students at my school. DOES THAT MILESTONE RESONATE FOR YOU AT ALL - AND DOES THE RECORD POP UP IN YOUR DAILY LIVES AT ALL? A LOT HAS HAPPENED FOR YOU BOTH PERSONALLY SINCE THEN. Still, music always has continued to be a mainstay in both of their lives.ĭEATHCONSCIOUSNESS TURNED 13 EARLIER THIS YEAR. Their path out of the darkness also included starting families and getting "big boy" jobs, like Macuga's full-time high school English teacher gig or Barrett's running of a real estate marketing agency.
For the two of them, musical catharsis was just one part of their personal maturation.
13 years since it appeared, the record has become a beacon for a whole community of ageless (and at times empty) souls fumbling around in the dark seeking catharsis.īut 2008 was a long time ago, and both Barrett and Macuga have built full lives outside of Have a Nice Life. It has inspired everyone from the late rapper Lil Peep, who pulled from "A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut" for his track "Shiver," to 4chan's online meme lords who mine its themes to create macabre moments. Over the years, Deathconsciousness' depressive themes have struck a chord with many outsiders. ***Note: If you need the list in Microsoft Excel format, I have it nicely listed out and I can e-mail it to you.Video of Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness Pick up in the Staten Island, NY 10314 area at my location only!

I haven't tested them, but I believe most will play just fine on modern equipment (or vintage for that matter) I don't recall anyone playing them in my lifetime, but according to my now 75 year old uncle, some were his, but he'd rather see them go to someone that would enjoy them.I took some photos that represent SOME of the records in there. They are all in pretty good shape and were sitting in a rack/storage cabinet at my grandfather's house for years. With the passing of my grandfather earlier this year, my family says that they have to go. This is a vintage record collection of over 40 record albums that belonged to my grandparents and uncle.
