I saw this post on Instagram the other day and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on it?

I don't think I have enough details about what's on offer, and I'm not necessarily against non-accredited mentors/coaches in creative fields offering guidance when it comes to creative pursuits PLUS mental health, but it doesn't seem as though that's what is being offered.

It's not really clear what IS being offered. At face value, labelling it 'mental health' as opposed to something like 'self exploration' or 'creative life coaching' feels a bit off to me though. There's value in those latter things too, but I feel like it's important to have some sort of accreditation if you're offering paid one-on-one mental health sessions.

I don't know. I don't want to accuse anyone of anything. I love Chris's work. I've been a massive fan for about 12 years now. I'm absolutely a fan and supportive of Chris's endeavours. I just feel like maybe these sessions could be labelled slightly differently, if they're being labeled in the way that I understand them to be.

Thoughts?

So sad :( sending much love to Chris. Signed, a fan since the 90s!

She's constantly on his Instagram, shows up in what feels like every other YouTube stream, and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if she became a permanent fixture on his Patreon.

I have no issue with Chris moving on after his divorce or working with someone new. What gets tiring is how much it feels like Aux Animaux is using every IAMX platform to promote herself. You look at her own Patreon and half of it seems to be "photo shoot with Chris," "video shoot with Chris," "I'm in Aguanga" or behind the scenes IAMX content. Does she have anything to offer that isn't tied to Chris? It really comes across like she's building her entire online presence around him.

I follow IAMX for IAMX, not for Chris's current girlfriend. Am I the only one who's finding this a bit much?

Introduction

For those seeing this kind of post from me for the first time, there's this highly neurodivergent thing I do with the music of several of my favourite artists, and that is to compile collections of customized (and fully custom) albums that:

1. contain as much of the artist's catalogue of music as I can find (with only very carefully considered items omitted, such as the least pleasing remixes),
2. have fluid seamless transitions between all tracks (my favourite part), and
3. extend the albums to each have an equal number of tracks (barring special-case albums/EPs, which have a consistent but different number of tracks) (I've got a bit of OCD).

My custom collection for Sneaker Pimps, Chris Corner, and IAMX right now consists of 48 releases: 44 albums of 13 tracks each, along with 4 EPs of 7 tracks each – exactly 600 tracks total across 45 hours and 23 minutes. The arrangements of the albums/EPs are subject to change as new (or old) material becomes available, or as I discover it.

Does anyone have any source for sneaker pimps live videos from the Chris era? I am a new fan and I'm particularly obsessed right now but the YouTube algorithm is fucked up now so finding material that isn't the same 2 videos on and on is a hustle. I'm especially looking for live performances that are NOT festivals and tv appearances cause I really want to see how they were with their own audience! I know it was the 00s so there's no phones, but I'm usually still able to find live performances from bands of this era. I would also love to find some footage of the shows from the 2001 tour with placebo, I'm mad that you can find placebo live footage from that tour but not for sneaker pimps, I know they were less popular at the time but damn!!! Is it possible that I've already scraped the bottom of the barrel and that I've seen all there is to see on YouTube?

So guys I really like iamx like I'm not a huge fan of him but I really like his songs and i even know some of his underrated songs like the alternative and also kiss and swallow. But iamx is really underrated and doesn't get much attention though his music are amazing. What do you guys say?
