  1. Safari on iPhone 6s... but works on Chrome I think - I think it's intermittent on Safari, sometimes works
  2. I’m pretty sure he does stuff with portable cabinets too, I feel like I saw something like that in a live video with Daniel Lanois. Fair enough you don’t like snares, but that doesn’t mean using the equipment is wasteful - you wouldn’t like it regardless. Who knows what elements were inspired by the huge wall, maybe he made stuff he wouldn’t have thought of otherwise, even if breakcore is not to your taste.
  3. Surely you can be just as creative with physical gear? It just gives a different kind of interface and a more predetermined scope of patch/sound creation/signal manipulation.. She Began To Cry Tears Of Blood.. Traditional Synthesiser... and the Daniel Lanois albums are some of my favourites by Snares, and the Analord stuff fucking rules Have you guys considered that maybe their interests just changed musically and it's not like modular synths are like the One Ring magically corrupting their minds? And also approaching middle age, they might have chilled out and their veins are not coursing with adrenaline and cortisol?
  4. Actually it was through the whole album - just so felt so grateful for the beauty
  5. I dunno to me they look like healed razor cuts - I had a friend that did them like that The boundary between subculture behaviour and mental health issues is probably a bit blurry - I can say that as a goth and a watmmer
  6. https://serendiplab.bandcamp.com/album/ser010
  7. Seems quite performative, but still probably not very mentally well (I realise the hedgehog is someone taking the piss)
  8. this one I know, but not where it came from.. sounds like something someone would say pretentiously about listening to noise music
  9. Ok, you're all making good points... I dunno I think most of my friends and family could cope with the disparity, most of them have way more money than me or are the sort of people who would never ask, I'm 99% sure, even if I was mega rich. Acquaintances and strangers aren't getting anything unless I decide it's a worthy cause and seek them out of my own volition, but I wouldn't entertain begging from strangers, I'm sorry. But yeah I wouldn't tell everyone how much I have. I definitely see the benefit in that. Damn, imagining having money gets more and more depressing I still don't get it, it's like a threat on your life based on a jungle MC throwaway line..? I guess in jokes are hard to explain, at least without spoiling the fun Edit in response to the edit: Ohhh stay alive and watch the ride makes more sense... I think haha
  10. site doesn't load on my iPhone 6s - Error 1000
  11. Is that like saying "watch the car, you cunt"? Or are you just insulting me? I've heard that phrase on here before but I dunno where it comes from If in the hypothetical scenario I'm meant to be saying that to my long lost cousin.. I don't like cars and I don't drive and I wouldn't have chauffeur, so it doesn't make sense
  12. Ooh just thought of something else - would give all my trans friends money for all the surgery/medical treatment they want
  13. It can't be both correct AND boring hell fucking no
  14. kinda bugs me when people think the speed and difficulty is what makes Snares good (I feel like the blindfold and the rigid presentation kinda suggests that), when to me Last Step is just as amazing - I'd love to see a drum cover of something from 1961, maybe Triple Self Portrait - played with groove and dynamics and feeling
  15. It's Aphex Twin, please paypal me your winnings I remember feeling similarly about TV making people dumb by addicting them to inane blathering, and sucking all the conversation out of a room, and how parents would use the TV to get their kids to shut up, or would ignore them while they watched it
  16. Nymphomaniac vols 1+2 - Enjoyable, curious, in a way Seligman is the most interesting character, because he represents the most disappointingly unable to connect to Jo in the end, despite being the most capable, in being as much of a sexual outsider as her. I liked that Jo actually genuinely turned out to do some genuinely bad things, especially in her grooming of P, as it challenges Seligman's wilfully ignorant defence of Jo, though in other ways, his defence of her makes a fair point in that a man in her shoes would be viewed as less contemptible. The BDSM scenes are my favourite part and make me feel like a rank amateur in that area holy shit.. taking a much lighter blow to the face gave me an headache which was in no way erotic, and she does it with a glove with coins in the fingers... those scenes were the most convincing part to me, and I appreciated the seriousness of the dom and the unceremoniousness of his instruments. Would be curious about other aspects of Jo's story which weren't included by her, such as her relationship with her mum. I'm not sure Charlotte Gainsbourg was the best actor for the film, though she does have a certain von Trier appropriate style somehow.. maybe Olivia Colman could have done this story justice? There are a lot of dicks in the film, shown in unflattering light, which makes them seem slightly ridiculous and unsexual, kinda like they do in 99% of dick pics. One of Shia LeBeouf's weakest performances, among many weak performances. Nice to see Christian Slater in something, I feel like his character lacked the capacity to really empathise and be genuinely involved in (the more intelligent and introspective) Jo's inner life - would have liked to see more of this dynamic explored because it's not something you often see in films. Jo's sex life seemed pretty joyless and not much fun, which seemed weird, I feel like that's an aspect of sex which is hard to avoid, but I guess it makes sense in the context of the Jo's compulsion. The Craft - one of my favourite films, was curious to notice that while I used to admire Nancy, I way more admire Sarah now. I still feel bad for Nancy in the end, despite her murders - although she was a spiteful person, she couldn't help being that.
