Medicowesome secret project: Substance dependency

What is the secret project? How can I participate?

Name: akautomatics

Passion: Music

Disease: Substance dependency.
4 music selections, each approaching the topic from its own perspective.

1) The libertines - What a waster: What I would describe as a generalized and uninformed mainstream public view of a stereotypical drug addict's character and lifestyle.

2) Third eye blind - Semi-charmed life: An upbeat pop song with a super catchy hook describing the experience and some especially seedy behaviours of meth users, straightforwardly but with a superficial/sugarcoated bent on the explicit details.

3) Of montreal - Heimsdalsgate like a promethean curse: A look at organic neurochemical pathology symptoms and the parallels that can be drawn with symptoms of psychoactive substance use

4) Lil wayne - I feel like dying: Takes a cold hard look at the darkest moments experienced within an addiction, when the sickness shows it's potential for morbidity and mortality and some insight into why and how addicts relapse; how there's an acute as well as chronic pathology to a substance dependency.
