Swans' Thor Harris Discusses His Depression in Documentary Short

Swans and Shearwater drummer Thor Harris is the subject of "Major Depression", a short documentary produced by the Mental Health Channel. In the film, he reads excerpts from his book, shares stories about how depression has weighed on him, and discusses how he manages his clinical depression by making music and art, exercising, and being with friends.

"When I started taking these pills, I hated the idea of taking pills for the rest of my life, but it's no big deal," he says about anti-depressants. "We all have to eat every day. We all have needs. We all need Twitter and Instagram, and some of us need to eat a pill in the morning."

      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
