Yeah, it's a modified version of an older (also fake) news story originating out of satirical irish "news" site. . . in the original one, the story had NK claiming to land a man on the Sun (so, you know, more obviously ridiculous . . . but just slightly). More info here.

What TV series are you watching at moment?
Tessier Ashpool replied to Npoess's topic in General Banter
Curious, did you like Cowboy Bebop? Think Samurai Champloo is a bit more of a long, slow burn - but it does start to pick up a bit after a few episodes (if memory serves) Oh, right. Just finished Hemlock Grove S2 (not bad for bro-mance supernatural fluff). Starting American Horror Story S3 - great so far. Also, just finished a Twin Peaks re-watch in advance of S3. Good news? Not as awesome as I remembered it, which I actually think means I won't have ridiculous expectatinos for S3. Better news, the best episodes of TP were truly the ones where Lynch was directing, which means I've got a serious hard-on for what he'll do with 18 episodes next year. -
i can't imagine the x-files resurrection being any good considering chris carter's writing relies on 2 things: aliens and starting stories he can't possibly finish lmao . . . yeah, well said. . . kinda like Lost writers, yeah? (except for the Aliens thing . . . OR IS IT) No. No it's not.

In case anyone is interested, here's a video of the interviews where this info is stemming from: [youtubehd]cFlDoM9gXSY[/youtubehd] Main highlight (so you don't have to sift through 20 mins of video): Audrey Horne says that the push for more $ from DL may have come from his realization that he would need more episodes to fully capture what he has in mind for S3. Specifically, she mentions how Twin Peaks (the place) itself is part of a larger universe, and DL wanted to wrap this all together, and realized he needed more time to do so. I.E., 9 episodes would cost X money, but then he realized he needed 18 episodes, and quoted the folks at Showtime 2X money and everyone was like WTF? 2XXXX!!!! So, somewhat surprisingly (I was very cynical originally, believing this could be just DL throwing a tantrum) it actually sounds like the push for more $ was legitimately in service of the story itself (rather than a $ grab for DL alone). Personally, 18 sounds much better than 9 - seems like they could wrap up a lot of things with 9, but it might feel rushed - makes me afraid of the X-Files resurrection being only pegged at 6 episodes . . .

I think, regardless of the how's and why's, it's hard to be happier about the outcome. More TP and more Lynch (for fans, at any rate) is a great thing. One of the best parts of this whole experience (i.e., Lynch walking away and the kerfuffle it caused) was the huge groundswell of comradery from the cast. It genuinely seems like these folks care deeply about one another, Lynch, and Twin Peaks itself - which, again, is about the best one could hope for. Pretty cool that they still seem to stay in touch, remain friends, etc. after all these years . . .

You know, just wanted to take a second and appreciate how incredibly generous this is. After such an incredible drought of music (that we know of, at any rate), it's truly mindblowing that Rich has decided to open the floodgates and give us a peek inside the vault. It's even a bigger treat to hear the various versions/stages/developments of tracks - some of these kind of feel like sketches, some of them feel more like fully fleshed tunes. It's like getting a chance to look at the private journals of Keats or something. Absolutely fascinating - not to mention it's like offering a man who has been dying of thirst for a decade an entire lake to imbibe - my belly's gonna burst! Three fucking cheers for the man. Fucking AWESOME.

QFT - a very nice explanation of why the cheese here is both intentional and also serves as a great counterpoint to the more brutal/serious/vicious aspects. . . 2014 has become, like, the best year for sudden bombshells of awesome out of nowhere for things that it seems like they would never happen: No Aphex Twin for 13 years? BAM HERE'S AN ALBUM. Oh, wait, your favorite show of all time is coming back after 25 years? HOLY BONERFEST!!! Prediction: It will be revealed that science succesfully cloned a human being. . . . 18 years ago. That clone? Michael Jordan, who will be suiting up next week for his first game where, incidentally, he will also be hand delivering a free copy of Dr. Dre's DETOX to all fans in attendance. . . .

Lol my friend just emailed me about this. . . nice

Wow. . . just listened all the way through for the first time. Couple of thoughts (i know. nobody fucking asked you T3 but god DAMN i feel like I need to put some words down about this album - and, gosh, there is like 1 dude in the "real world" i know who likes Aphex and/or will even want to listen to this. Be my shoulder WATMM. Be my mental breakdown mind vomiting words into a keyboard and onto your screen receptacle*): Drukqs has LONG been my "island CD." You know, that one CD you would take with you if you were stranded on a desert island and had to listen to for the rest of your life as the ONLY music available. So. Much. Good. Sound to discover, even a fucking DECADE+ later. Ziggomatic, Mt. St. Michaels, Avril, Vorbodhosbn (sp is wrong fuck off). . . so, so much goodness there. My only problem is that it is not an album (other than very rare occasions) I can sit and listen straight through. I always end up skipping around, cherry picking the tracks I like. Flipping past the tracks that sound like Bjork is getting tortured in some dank corner of Richard's bank vault. Arousing? yes. Do I always want to hear it? No.And now? Christ Jesus - this album already has that same sort of depth of sound that means it's going to take ages to really digest. But it's also something that I could totally see putting on and playing from beginning to end. Now, I know - Rich cherry picks tracks from the different stacks and gives us all a taste of all different stuffs. But, damn, does this not feel like a real, complete "Album" or what? I've had this on at work and I swear to fucking god I spent several minutes just laughing and giggling at some of the shit here. If I did not have my own office to hide in, I think they would have sent in the guys in the white coats. I mean, there are these musical moments that, rarely, make me cry or make me laugh with unreptetant joy. I've already experienced, literally, minutes of the latter today. So much grinning my face fucking hurts. Over the past 13 years, there have been a lot of fake Aphex leaks. I've listened to a lot of them and at points thought, "yeah, that could be Aphex . . . maybe? . . . yeah, could be him." Even some of the Syro fakes (like that fake preview set that had minipops at the beginning and fake tracks after). Then I listen to this and I could take any 45 seconds out of it on almost any track and it just SHITS all over the fakes. I'm not saying the fakes are bad tracks, (necessarily) - I'm just saying that NOBODY sounds like this. Or maybe nobody CAN sound like this. There is just so much fucking information there, layered so delicately, but still so HUMAN. EGADS. SICK. LUSH. MENTAL. GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER!!! Alright - vomiting over - just biked in to say how much this just MADE MY YEAR. It's going to take so long to get my head around and through this - I'm going to need a few extra islands. Pce, T3 *Just kidding u know I love you WHAT EM
