1. Self, sometimes stylized as sElf, is a rock band that is mostly the brainchild of one Matt Mahaffey from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Mahaffey began his musical career as a drummer, forming his first band at the precocious age of nine or ten with band members twice his age. Having gigged with punk, reggae, and pop bands, and even bluegrass square-dancing bands, Mahaffey went on to produce beats for rap artists out of his college dorm room. His diverse musical tastes would contribute to Self's unique sound. He later founded the indie label Spongebath with his bandmate at the time, Seth Timbs, and manager Rick Williams.
While Mahaffey has received nearly all the attention for the music, he is not the only member of the band, and not the sole songwriter either. Current members of the band include Chris James (keyboards, piano, samplers, guitar, backing vocals), Mac Burrus (bass guitar, keyboards, horns, backing vocals), and Jason Rawlings (drums). Past members include Matt's brother, Mike Mahaffey (lead guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Timm Nobles (bass guitar). Because Matt is proficient in almost all of the instruments that Self uses, he plays most of the instruments on the albums, but the other members do contribute occasional parts on albums, and shine when the band plays live. Seth Timbs has also played a small role in the band's songwriting and contributes vocals to a cover of the song Dizzy, but is not an official member of the band.
Mahaffey's debut Self album, Subliminal Plastic Motives, was released in 1995 on the Spongebath label. It was followed by The Half-Baked Serenade in 1996 and an album released for free via the internet in 1997 called Feels Like Breakin' Shit. An EP titled Brunch (1998) and the album Breakfast with Girls (1999) were co-released by the Spongebath and Dreamworks labels. Back at Spongebath, Self released Gizmodgery in 2000, an album notable for being created entirely with children's toy instruments. That same year, Self released two more free internet-only albums, Self Goes Shopping and Selfafornia.
In 2005, Self again released an album for free on the internet. Porno, Mint, and Grime consists of demos recorded during the 2001-2004 sessions for the unreleased album Ornament and Crime.
Their album Ornament and Crime is fully complete; however, Dreamworks (their record label) has declined to release the album for unknown reasons.
A DVD has also been completed, but due to legal reasons, may or may not be released. The performance includes a cover of AC/DC's hit song Back in Black, which has not yet been approved.
Self also did a cover of Ana Ng, originally done by They Might Be Giants, which is on the album Hello Radio, released July 2006. A new album tentatively entitled Super Fake Nice was announced in 2010 and released in 2014. A single, Could You Love me Now? was released in May 2010 and was later put on the B side for Record Store Day single Monogamy. Later in 2017 their previously never released albumOrnament and Crime was released on CD and vinyl but for legal reasons never put on streaming.
2. Self was a 3 piece melodic pop punk band from Columbia, South Carolina, active in the late 1990s. They released a single album named Codename: Spivey in 1996, which was re-released by Offtime Records in 1998.
3. SELF is the side-project of Brooklyn based True Crime Electronics project SLOGUN, in a dark ambient vein. Released one LP to date, titled The Mind and the Matter in 2004.
4. Self started as a solo project around 1999. Hennix (Demonizer) joined forces for the recordings of Searing Winds but left afterwards (2001-2003). Searing Winds was recorded at the home studio, except for the drums, recorded at Shumcot (http://www.shumcot.be/). Everything mixed and mastered at the home studio. The album never got officially released.

5. Self is an acoustic lo-fi project by Adelaide singer/songwriter Olly Byrne. He released his first album, The Bitter Cold recorded in his bedroom in early 2018.

I love my Mommy cause she fucked the shit out of my Dad

The lyrics to the song "NOW" by Self may at first seem provocative and offensive with its explicit reference to sex and incest. However, upon a closer examination, it is evident that the song is a satirical commentary on the modern culture's tendency to glorify controversial and shocking things. The first two lines of the song appear to be a deliberate attempt to shock and grab the listener's attention. Still, it is clear that the real message is highlighted in the repetition of "I'm your problem now."
The phrase "I'm your problem now" is repeated several times in the song, and its significance is hard to miss. It serves as a reminder that we are all interconnected and that the actions we take have consequences. The song seems to suggest that we cannot escape the impact of our choices and that sooner or later, we'll have to face the consequences of our actions.
Overall, Self's "Now" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that challenges its listeners to think deeply about our culture's obsession with shock value and the consequences of our actions.

Embrace my Destiny
Yes Brian this is the content we needed!!! Thank you for expounding upon the higher self and how it's really the "future" aspect of us that can see so much more than our current version.
My favorite topics
- soul blueprint / life planning / between life regression
- higher self
- Kundalini / raising frequency
- akashic records
I can listen to your channel endlessly and I'm forever grateful to you for expanding my consciousness. Thank you so so so much.
I'm curious have you heard of the "soul song"?
I've listened to people's nde and some have said they literally heard the song or sound of their soul.
I've tried to listen to meditations to completely connect with my soul in that way.
I love how you said we create these experiences for ourselves and we connect with our higher self through our heart and we get lightbulb moments through synchronicities.
I'm glad you mentioned the interconnected nature of everything. It all resonates.
I've heard that message many times of taking time for silence and reflection. I listened to someone's meditation session on a channel called ropes and wings and the lady described a healing place she referred to as energetic pods we can connect with that has great silence and peace for great healing. It is so hard to just be silent and still sometimes as we want to make something happen because of the ego? Training myself to be more patient and allow myself to surrender to the guidance of my soul.
I don't feel lonely when I hear your content because these topics are sometimes difficult to talk about with people physically around me. I'm forever grateful for your channel.

This title speaks profoundly to me. This is what I work on every single day and have to remind myself of multiple times a day. Looking forward to this one as with all your others Brian. I've never ever known a channel like this. Your work is like a hurricane of blessings, the amount of work you put out, several videos over a matter of days, it is quite astounding. I am SO grateful.

Your channel should have praises about god, and our lord Jesus directly. We both know the bible (word of god) is better and more effective help then these sentences that can have demonic energy behind them
