    Neckbeard

    This is the worst thread since my share your racist poetry thread.

    Neckbeard

    Stop trying to make me angry and answer the question.

    Neckbeard

    Yes, shaved on top to make penis look bigger, underside of balls left hairy to catch my excreted musk.
  4. I've always considered a neckbeard to be this i.e. face clean shaven with hair on the neck. Popular with 19th century intellectuals and 21st century basement dwellers alike. However, I keep seeing it being used to refer to people with full beards which aren't neatly trimmed. The problem is overly coiffuerd facial hair does not work for 90% of people and is the purview of spivs, unsophisticated americans, social media haircut spam cunts, eurotrash in tight jeans and arabs who want to pass as eurotrash by having overly coiffured facial hair and wearing tight jeans so that eastern european prostitutes are slightly less repulsed by them, or roided up jizz monkeys who really should know better, but are overcompensating working in a call centre in a northern post-industrial town by looking like a twat. This post was prompted by @Extralife's comment in Post your most recent picture about the Yek montage and there being 'many neckbeards'. I can't see any that would meet the above definition. I want watmm to have a consistent definition of neckbeard or it's going to tear this community apart. So which is it?
  5. This is shit news. Watmm's sexiest member.
  6. When I was looking recently I settled on a newish motu 16a. Which doesn't meet your criteria. And in the end I just got a second steinberg mr816 and daisy chained them. So I can't really comment on the motu either. But if I was in your position I would probably look at the motu 16a and fill missing features like midi separately. Also not the cheapest option. In fact this post has probably been next to useless.
  7. I think this was Luke Fucking Hazard who is now @Meadows and Labyrinths.
  8. After his reworking of the Purpose of Peace he released on his bandcamp a year or so ago I was hoping he might return to his earlier more lyrical style i.e. Works and Circular Forms, but on first listen this is definitely more towards Above All Dreams and Kimberlin. Still sounds good and undeniably AM though. Might treat myself to some codeine and blast this through the monitors later. Also there's an AM tshirt up on the ecstatic bandcamp. If he comes back to London I will be wearing it and waving at him across the road from his flat.
  9. Planet Who? Feature length documentary following Mike Paradinas as he pursues his long held dream of walking for Margiela during Paris fashion week. Half of the film is Lara Rix-Martin in Warhammer 40k cosplay in Waitrose, child in one hand, mobile in the other, as she gets increasingly exasperated with various fashion PRs. "Yes, Paradinas, let me spell that for you." The remainder is montage shots of Mike working out in a home gym to a motivational Planet Mu soundtrack.
  10. I dont know about the 1770 but when I needed some extra headphone juice, I got a RME adi2 FS (not one of the dac/pro versions with the screen) and justified it by also using it as my main stereo in/out via adat attached to main interface. It was about £500 for a bit but seems to have gone over £600 now. If money is no object then the dac/pro versions have an even better headphone amp.
  11. I replaced my trusty sony mdr7509 (the superior originals from 20 years ago) with Audio Technica r70x which is their studio open backed model, and I'm pretty happy with them, although build quality isn't anywhere near the old Sonys, they're not going to last 20 years. Got them for 250 and I think I'd have to spend closer to a grand for something noticeably better. I may purchase the HEDDphones at some point for the simple reason I have HEDD type 20s and love them. But the opportunity cost of £1,500 headphones when I already have a perfectly workable pair is significant.
  12. I've known that face from so many women over the years. Just to be clear that's a penis joke.
  13. Just because you've had lots of dads and uncles over the course of your life doesnt mean mom is a celebrity.
  14. What most people don't know is that back in 2003 Joyrex made a quite moving post on the forum about his difficulties growing up in Texas trapped in the wrong body, and his regrets about not taking hormone blocking therapy when he had the chance. For some reason the name that he'd chosen for his post transition life has always stuck with me, Shakwella. He said that it was a portmanteau of Chaka Khan and his favourite hair care product, I never really knew whether he was serious. Don't worry, the story has a happy ending when a few year later he met a sexually dominant but heart of gold roughneck Texan oildriller and they adopted two beautiful african babies together. One of the legacies of this was that there was quite a high ratio of both post and pre transition transexuals in watmm's early days, especially among the moderators. It doesn't get mentioned much, but they've been open about in the past. ChenGOD, MadameChaos and mcbpete all used to be men. Ironically Squee named himself after the sound of delight he imagined making when he would finally wake up and find his testicles removed, but he stopped halfway through the transition process when he realised he was more than happy with a penis that was complemented by a really great pair of tits. Anyway, petition to rename Joyrex 'Shakwella Goddess of the Eternal Amen' and for watmm to be renamed 'Gaia's Music Womb'.
  15. I haven't wanted to say anything as I love Joyrex like a father, but come on. Nothing screams toxic phallocentric western masculinity like 'King of Joy' does. Let's kill him.
  16. I've always found We are the Music Makers problematic. The idea that somehow music is made and that 'we' can claim ownership to this thing we made, that identity comes from the things we do and make, seems very patriarchal.
  17. Unhide the thread from everyone but omnii
  18. Proof that your peachy arse is subordinate to my magnificent penis.
  19. He was in Washington until quite late yesterday, surprised he found the time.
  20. On Neon Genesis: Soul Into Matter² Meemo Comma (a.k.a. Lara Rix-Martin) takes Kabbalistic text and Jewish prayer and guides them through twinkling ambient synths, breakbeats and cranking industrial noise, full of strange wonder and drama. You can hear soft synths transmuted into choirs of seraphim and moments of occulted dancefloor rapture, from Aramaic chanting and ravey breakbeats to readings from the Zohar. It is quite beautiful at times. The album is the follow-up to her well received 2019 Ewok concept album Sleepmoss. Jewish mysticism is at the root of Western esoteric beliefs and therefore has formed the structure of many films and books that explore the question of humanity. Inspired by the visuals of Evangelion and nineties anime soundtracks such as Ghost In The Shell (and its later Stand Alone Complex series), the new Meemo Comma album is a soundtrack to an imaginary anime that, like its real counterparts (e.g. Full Metal Alchemist), takes the beautiful parts of Kabbalah and sets them to science fiction stories. When asked about the themes that inform her new album, Lara Rix-Martin says Judaism is filled with many tales and teachings that prevail in science fiction to this day - whether consciously or not. Sci-Fi is the genre best equipped to explore the immensity and challenges of human experience. Something that Judaism has also been attempting for over three thousand years. I watched Ghost in the Shell when I was 14 and it was so striking, visually and sonically. The soundtrack has acted as a backdrop to explore my Jewish identity, and my cosplay as the leader of a Jewish space marine chapter in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. I have been reading the Talmud since last year, discovering a deeper love for Jewish stories and teachings. There are some beautiful, hopeful ideas in Kabbalah too, which were a central inspiration to this album such as the idea that the first human was non-gendered and just this form made up from the qualities of HaShem (God) who performed 'Tzimtzum', contracted their form using their Ein Sof (eternal light) to create 'Adam Kadmon' whose form split into all human souls. Lara playfully subheads her album: “In the year 40,000 humanity is ever closer to becoming a singular consciousness. A team of humans are forming an android, Adam Kadmon (CODENAME: UNIT KADMON). First, humans have to gain higher consciousness guided by the Sefirot.“ While you don't have to know about these influences to enjoy the music, it stands true that the intention is an irreverent love letter to the way grand myths are birthed into the future through new forms, retaining their beauty and elegance.
  21. I foresaw all of this 11 years ago with the LTM debacle, but America didn't heed my warning. And now you weep like teased vaginas.

    Thai Food

    I cook vegan and vegetarian thai from time to time. Usually its a root veg substituted in if its a thicker oilier curry like a massaman or panang, any other veg if its a soupier curry, but be careful of brassicas. Broccoli and cauliflower is fine, but I once added sprouts to a green curry and it was the worst thing I've ever made. You have to be careful when using root veg too as the starch will come out and change the consistency of the curry and sometimes act as a homogeniser for the split coconut milk as well and you just end up with gloopy wallpaper paste. Sometimes it's best to roast separately. Used celeriac for first time over christmas and worked surprisingly well.

    Not without its own problems, but this gives you a good idea of how distorted the Mercator projection is: https://thetruesize.com/
