Is there such a thing? Are there any particular hallmarks of style that are required or is it just some niche slice of a more general electronic music subculture? Is IDM or electronic music culture ever subversive or essentially, because of links with technology (synths, drum machines, daws) just part of the mainstream commercial music industry? The spectrum from making music for car ad music to diy electronics noise makers. I don't really know what I'm asking tbh Humour me.

I huge majority of my food budget goes towards sweets (which is a problem in itself). While my girlfriend is away I generally live on celery and peanut butter (healthier than ramen), but I keep spending ass-loads of cash on candy bars and other pre-made desserts. So, do you know of anything extremely cheap I can make? I remember reading in Little House on the Prairie that they'd drizzle maple syrup on ice and freeze it. I think that's worth a shot.

A thread about pans. I'll start with a cocotte related question. I've been looking for a good deal on a Le Creuset or Staub casserole. But I was too late every time. For all you panpassionate watmmers out there, are they worth the money? Or will buying a 30 euro Ernesto cocotte from Lidl sort me out just as well? Thx

Psychedelic Fantasy Films 1 2 3 4

I've been really enjoying fantasy films recently. Particularly animated ones with a psychedelic tinge from the 70s and 80s. And since I trust the tastes of forumites, I thought it would be cool to discuss some good films and get some recommendations too. For instance, I absolutely loved the visual style of Ralph Bakshi's Wizards, even if ther acting and plot was a bit honky. Necron 99 should go down in history as the character with the most wasted potential ever, he could have been a fucking boss character. Seriously, robot assassin... Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind might well be one of my favourite movies ever. No particular reason, I just love it. …

Aight, so, the other night I said to my wife: "Hey hon, I'm going to the store later, do you want anything?" It seemed like such an innocuous request. Little did I know it would turn into my own personal Kobashi Maru. "Oh, yeah, could you pick me up some cookies?" Ok, so far, so good. "But, um, don't get me any of the cookies you usually do." Ah... ok, so- "Oh, and don't get me any of the types of cookies I usually like." I could feed my brain beginning to lock down, the equivalent of asking a robot in 1980's sci fi to resolve a paradox. I thought about asking for additional guidance but I knew what that would result in: a ball withering stare of scorn and a loudly …

I'm considering digging a 90ft deep hole in my garden and building an apocalypse ready bolthole for me and a few select members of WATMM to hide in for the foreseeable future. The question is - which WATMMers should I take with me and why?

If he is, he bought a very rare copy of Data Language Systems - "I Just Wanna Give You Headphones" there's 5 copies that exist, maybe 3. I hope cos i only have a 320kbps copy. "In My Head" was a hope that i could get a ctc scan. Natural Disasters was made witht he idea of having a heavy metal band cos i play the guitar instead of this painful music that i love. recording music on the computer is harder than picking up and instrument and having someone else do the recording/mixing and mastering yourself as well. It's all very stressful but if you have others along the journey of the music creation process, more power to ya friend! i'm in a rampant rant of histo…

How do you guys deal with it? Any suggestions would be excellent as I don't have much experience with it. I'll go into more context if need be, but I really would just love some help.

So I'm living in London now. Great. Whilst I sift through all the job rejections (because there's literally thousands of people applying for one job listing these days), I thought I'd let you all know that I'm available for photo shoots, press shots, album artwork photography, etc… I would offer gig photography too, but since live music is dead now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If you want to see my photography style, please check the below https://vsco.co/oscillik/gallery https://www.flickr.com/photos/oscillik/

(this is a cross-post from the first world problems thread. mods feel free to delete one of these, i can't decide which.) so i have a new turntable and i'm fully into collecting records for the first time since 2012. i had a reasonably spicy collection back then, but nowadays you can go over to Bleep and get reissues of things like Geogaddi and Tri Repetae. it's an exciting time, not to mention a new Autechre LP being on its way. now Actress (Darren Cunningham) is one of my top-tier favourite artists - ahead of Boards of Canada by now. i got into R.I.P back in 2012 and i've followed everything since then. last year i even bought a copy of the Silver Cloud 12", n…

Didn't see a topic on this. Here's a breakdown of the crazy footage of the first protester being shot. Sorry for posting a graphic thing. It's just crazy. I think they had the biggest protest ever, with maybe a million people? Why are these protesters acting so nuts? Chasing down cops with pipes, wrenches, and hammers? Then throwing molotovs into a group of cops? Of course I wonder about agent provocateurs, but I don't see anything too obvious in that video. Be safe, if you're over there, please.

I just recently got BIG into this show. I think it's so, so great. The 1 hour Pilot movie is on youtube for free. The pilot is so much more gritty than the show, but so far I love it all. A lot of the other episodes are on youtube, too. I suggest watching the pilot and a couple episodes from the first season to get a good idea whether you like it or not. The show has solid humor and is very well done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h90oxDBFLA0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaF23CT51vc There's quite a bit of time between the first movie and the first episode. Here's the wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_Park_Boys
