  1. Jaden & Willow Smith NYT interview. very IDM.

     


    THE CONCEPT OF TIME
    WILLOW: “I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please, and that’s how I know it doesn’t exist.”
    JADEN: “It’s proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It’s relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it’s also such a thing that you can get lost in.”
    HOW THE BRAIN WORKS
    JADEN: “So when one thought goes into your mind, it’s not just one thought, it has to bounce off both hemispheres of the brain. When you’re thinking about something happy, you’re thinking about something sad. When you think about an apple, you also think about the opposite of an apple. It’s a tool for understanding mathematics and things with two separate realities. But for creativity: That comes from a place of oneness. That’s not a duality consciousness. And you can’t listen to your mind in those times — it’ll tell you what you think and also what other people think.”
    WILLOW: “And then you think about what you think, which is very dangerous.”
    ON THEIR COLLABORATIONS
    WILLOW: “Me and Jaden just figured out that our voices sound like chocolate together. As good as chocolate tastes, it sounds that good.”
    DEEP THOUGHTS ON FASHION
    JADEN: “Willow just dropped a song (Cares), let me quote the lyrics: ‘I do not care what people say.’ We both don’t really care. I like to wear things that I make, but I throw it on as though I was throwing on anything. It looks cool, sometimes.”
    WILLOW: “I like to go to places with my high-fashion things where there are a lot of cameras. So I can just go there and be like, “Yep, yep, I’m looking so sick.” But in my regular life, I put on clothes that I can climb trees in.”
    WHY THEY’RE ANTI-SCHOOL
    JADEN: “You never learn anything in school. Think about how many car accidents happen every day. Driver’s ed? What’s up? I still haven’t been to driver’s ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I can’t see how driver’s ed is really helping them out.”
    WILLOW: “I went to school for one year. It was the best experience but the worst experience. The best experience because I was, like, “Oh, now I know why kids are so depressed.” But it was the worst experience because I was depressed.”
    We just … can’t. #Flatlines

    midseason finale is such a crock of shit too. why does every show do this now? a season is now now 2 mini seasons? come on already.

     

    but for sure. a big hospital show down. no doubt.

     

    ugh

     

     

     

    It's gonna end with a closing shot of Daryl entering a hallway in the now secured hospital.

    Carol is standing there. Their eyes lock & Daryl & Carol both make their signature happy smirks.

    Beth then walks out of a room behind Carol.

    Daryl stops smirking. Camera pans from Beth back to Carol.

    Shit just got real.

    End credits.

    GAWD!

    I do not give two shits about mr Handlebar. There's nothing interesting about him apart from his hair color. And then they drag us through a flashback that is so damn predictable. In Lost all the characters had secrets and were mysterious which made their flashbacks interesting but this could be any random guy on the street telling a random ass story about his past.

     

    I can't wait for next week's episode.

     

    thoughts on finale?

     

     

    Yea, only 3 episodes left for mid-season finale. Probably just gonna end up at the stupid hospital for fuck sake to rescue Carol.

     

    why are you all still watching it? :shrug:

     

    I watch it for shits and giggles (and for the backwards of it all).

    Also, every now and then there's a slight hint of something that's almost cool. For instance, the last shot in the opening is of a zombie walking around alone in the field. I think that shot is from one of the earlier seasons but it's probably one of the coolest shots in the show of all times. Nothing happened in that scene. It was just Shane looking out of a car window staring at this zombie walking around doing nothing and for some reason it was very atmospheric.

     

    I'm surprised no one has pointed out how fucking terrible the blood splatter looks? Worst compositing ever.

     

     

    :beer: truth in every word. I love that clip of the lone zombie with the setting sun.

    An accurate description of Syro from the man himself, which explains why Syro isn't as dark as some of the stuff he put out in the past.

     

    "Also like i mention below with tunings, mankind needs as much positive/trippy/awakening/next level non dark thought provoking vibes as possible right now, we are living in a mega dark spiritual age and its 2easy to channel that into our music but I think we have to try really hard to drag ourselves out of it and dream up new mind expanding music & art, thats definitely not boring nu age yawnsville."

    doesn't relate to syro, circlont14 is darker then bloody hell

     

     

    Your darkness is my light, then. :) You also only quote a song, I was talking about SYRO, the album. I don't think Syro is dark and evil, but it has that positive, trippy, awakening, next level non dark vibe going on. I think he's right in saying that it's so much easier to make dark and evil music in this day and age while making positive music that's not cheesy is the real challenge.

     

     

    I don't know, I think there's a lot of positive music out there that isn't cheesy across many different genres. Music really runs the gamut right now.

    And music is such an abstract thing that is really dependant on the listener. My positive, is someones negative & vice versa.

  5. Had my first Richard D. James themed dream last night.

     

    He moved into a duplex in an old subdivision I used to live in. It was sky blue & the architecture was that kind of Southern California stucco faced home. This type of house is not indicative of the home style in my old subdivision. I have no idea why Richard moved in, but a group of people including myself somehow got invited to his home as a "meet-and-greet". Vaguely thinking it had something to do with the Joyrex imminent announcement. He greeted us, hair tied back to ponytail, t-shirt, baggy cargo pants & sandals. Not pretentious by any means & pretty chill. His place was sparsely decorated & I only noticed a massive record collection. We talked wax for a little bit. I don't remember details of the conversation. There were no wife or children?!?

    He put on some hip-hop record, where Greenkingdom (old watmm member) & myself started doing the "Kid-N-Play" dance. It was pretty sloppily done & my equilibrium was off. There was a section of more discussion, but I don't recall what was discussed again. It seemed like many of the people I came with had now left.

    Richard then setup a series of small crystal like blocks in a straight line. Very much like a row of dominoes. The first & last block were completely clear. The blocks were all wired electronically at the base. He fired a blue-green laser through them which revealed an image on the wall much like the appearance of a topographic map. If you moved a block, it would change the shape of the map. He explained that the laser was vibrating the crystal in a certain way & was recording the frequency. He would then move the blocks to slightly different positions; thus making different sounds & different imagery. I could not hear the sound in my dream.

    At this point I was alone & went to the restroom. An old lady came down stairs & was complaining about the noise Richard would make. She was a neighbor in the duplex I thought in my dream. When the lady got closer to complain, it turned out to be Phyllis Diller.

     

    *woke up*

  6. Three Floyds Dark Lord. The sweetest stout I've ever had. Possibly the sweetest beer I've ever had. Like drinking Fudge. Definitely malty. Some flavors I couldn't quite put my finger on. Very chewy. Glad I tried, but the sweetness was too much for me.

  7. I'm about half way through American Horror Story S1 and not sure whether to continue. Its OK but a bit all over the place.

     

    The only reason I started watching that show was for Alexandra Breckenridge. She's a mink. And yes, I know it's shallow.

     

    No need to watch anymore than you have already. The show has gotten progressively worse & the only redeeming factor to it is the title sequence for each season.

  8. just wrapped up fargo.

     

    amazing show. my friend and i were constantly verbalising how fkn good the show was as we watched it each week. the ending was great, everything about the show is near perfect and constantly intriguing. bravo.

     

    Been banging on that show since it aired. Season 2 is supposed to be the backstory of Lou? going back to the murder case he worked in the 70s. Pretty excite.

    Where did you get the Westvleteren, olo?

     

    Is it actually significantly better/different than St. Bernardus Abt 12?

     

    My buddy knows a brewer at a local brewery in MI. This guy made a pilgrimage to the actual monastery by a scheduled reservation & picked up an undisclosed amount.

     

    It was quite good. Very unfiltered, but don't give a shit about that. I didn't think it was heads & shoulders above anything really. Very much in line with the plum/fig notes & other taste profile like most Belgian/trappist quads ( Bernardus, rochefort 10, etc.)

    edit: my friend, who I drank one with, is working to be a cicerone & we share similar tastes. He kinda felt the same I did. Great quad, but really nothing above & beyond. Bare in mind we just drank that quad & didn't have others on hand to compare to. Just going by memory.

     

    Actually out of all quads I've had. I prefer straffe hendrik. That one speaks to me.

     

     

    Thanks maetl; always wanted to try the Westy given its reputation, and was personally getting fairly hyped when it went on sale in the States briefly a few years ago, but it seems like I should just happily accept one if ever offered to me (or if I find myself in Belgium) rather than pine away for it over here. It's a Trappist Quad and it tastes like one, basically, hah.

     

    I've never seen Streffe Hendrik in the wild in/around Los Angeles, for some reason. Will remember to grab one if it should turn up.

     

     

    Gladly take a westy, but no need to let it eat at you. You'll be just as fine off with the names I mentioned. I think just the mystique, somewhat rarity of it, makes people who are lucky to grab one, think it's the best beer eva. A psychological thing. Same thing happens with Three Floyds.

     

    Straffe Hendrik Brugs is tasty. Kinda has a port like quality to it which I enjoy. That one definitely has a different feel than abt12/ rochefort 10. Knab one if you find it around town. Seems like a great beer state like CA, you should be able to find one. Depends on distribution I guess.
