    I remember at the time I didn't like him at all. A mopey, mega depressed, oddball junkie. In the last 10 years or so I've done a complete reverse on that. I can see he was deeply sensitive, obviously highly artistic and misunderstood, and delved deep into drug addiction because he couldn't handle it all. And of course like most of them who ended up dead, never had strong loyal friends and family to protect him from the parasites, bloodsuckers and vultures that always seemed close by. Kurt went way too soon and I also wonder about what music he could of created. He didn’t leave a big catalogue of music behind.

    At the time I was into different stuff. Didnt pay much attention to Nirvana.

    I look back and love his shit now. I think heart shaped box might be one of my favorite rocks songs ever,

    The Russian war against the Ukraine is probably a CIA operation and so is the attack on the Nord Stream pipeline. The idea may be to destroy the economic bonds between Russia and Europe and seeding division in the region to increase American influence in Europe and maintain supremacy, weakening the EU, secure American economic influence and shift dependencies. It all serves the interests of a finance elite and war industry. Russian oligarchs and power elite don’t actually care about ideological reasoning and their domestic propaganda, their personal lives aren’t affected by such a war or the suffering of their population, so the economic sanctions on Russia European countries are now doing won’t have any effect other than attacking the wealth of European and Russian citizens, which again will not necessarily influence any decision made about the continuation of the war. It’s all orchestrated by a global elite of industry and mainly American controlled secret services that have their own interests and influence on the media coverage, not a conflict between nations or peoples. The fact that we pay so much attention to this particular war and ignore other wars and topics is a result of that. In the end it is impossible to know the real reasons for anything happening in the world without some historical distance but usually, when it comes down to it, the diagnosis is concentration of non-democratically legitimated power pursuing capitalistic interests. Any ideological differences are just a tool. I suspect that the Russian and the Western elites have planned the conflict in accordance with each other, ignoring the interests of their own nations and people, and maybe even governments. It’s usually really a war between classes, everything else that we are led to believe it is is the result of years of propaganda and indoctrination by an elite that controls every aspect of our information culture. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we are or aren’t directly lied to, it just means that the real incentives, reasons and agendas are completely hidden and impossible to see through for any of us.

    I think I agree w/ you. I think I'm turning into Russell Brand. 

     

    The President doesn't actually have a huge amount of power except when it comes to the military. So, if Putin wanted to really win this thing why didn't he go in when Trump was in office? I mean, really?!!

    The real number in financial aide to the Ukraine from America is suspected to be 40 billion. But give a guy some food stamps and you vomit

    It does sound very similar but I’m sure Kurt kind of made amends for stuff like this…

    Kurt was a lovely dude. I regularly think about him and how such a waste it's been. He had so much more in him.  Depression wasn't really talked about back then.

  4. Ive been in enough psych wards you'd think I would have seen one flew over the cuckoo's nest. But I haven't. I need to get around to it. I used to fill air freshener machines for my Dad's company in state facilities all up and down the east coast of the usa. These places don't exist anymore. Most of them at least.  I saw some crazy shit. Wow, what a nightmare.

     

    I was admitted to one later in life as a patient, but it was just the one in the whole state.  Now they are just wards in general hospitals. 

     

    Regan got rid of them, Hence the huge homeless problem.

  5. I heard a Louis CK story about Larry doing stand up way back before Seinfeld. And he would yell at the audience. Like "hey, where are you going?" kind of stuff.

     

    Some of his act ended up in Seinfeld. 

     

    And thank god Louis CK is coming back btw

    Thanks friend ! I'm learning as I patch, and make some nice progress everyday so I'm thrilled. I'm now getting satisfying melodies with generative sequencers I can freeze/unfreeze on the fly, totally or partially, which is something I've been dreaming of for 2 decades now. I rely a lot on some of the new 8.3 objects, lovely stuff : audio rate sequencing is awesome, so sharp and flexible.

    While I loved my monomes, I don't regret selling them one bit. All my gear is easily replaceable if needed, I appreciate that. I was getting paranoid touring with my then super rare / hard to replace monomer(s).

    Did you change your message. I could have sworn you said buffer manipulation:. I wanted to ask what you had planned for that.

    inside n.9 s07e01 - pretty good innit? cheerful dark comedy... I love British cursing... shame how it wrapped up...

    inside n.9 s07e02 - way better than kill list... also quite funny...

    inside n.9 s07e03 - here the comedy fades away and all that's left is drama... neat premise, poor delivery, well not really but... metamindfuckery... goes too far into the rabbit hole ending up suffering from what it exactly depicts...

    inside n.9 s07e04 - same as above, too many twists over twists...

    inside n.9 s07e05 - nahhh, too cheesy, it's been done a million times before...

    inside n.9 s07e06 - too much drama for a dark comedy show...

    Torrents?
