Twin Peaks

I'm pretty big Coen Bros fan, so I started watching Fargo today, a series based on the movie of the same name.
Enjoyed it so far, recomendable.

Damn this thread makes me thirsty. I should try some of these. I usually only drink ordinary german beer. Only thing less average that I've tried is Murphy's Red, which I love and Guiness, which tastes like soy sauce in my opinion, pretty nasty.

Vampire Girl vs Frankstein Girl
Honestly the funniest trash movie I've seen in my life.

This past year has been difficult for me. I've been feeling really lost and lonely, like nothing good is ever going to happen for me. I feel stuck in a crappy job that I've outgrown, with a dumbass boss who has no idea how to do his job and it's really insulting to me. I have had no luck in finding other work, and every day I sit at my desk getting so angry and I worry that I'm going to do something stupid. When I get home, I can't seem to concentrate on creative endeavors or classwork (I'm currently working on a Master's), so I just sit here and either screw around on the net or .... just stare at the screen. I'll play a video game or like an hour or something and then get bored. I'm always alone and my phone never rings. My family doesn't give a fuck about me unless they want something. There's just a lot of crap going on and I feel that I need to break out of it somehow. I just don't know what to do.
To me it kind of sounds like you're lacking balance. I don't know what your private life looks like, but I'd suggest you to socialize more or exercise.
I know this sounds like shitty advice but everything changed like me when I started running . I lost weight, got more confident, had more self control in other things as well and I just became more optimistic. I hated sport of any kind but the now the best feeling I know is when you run for over an hour and you feel like you could continue for the rest of your life. It also inspires me and motivates me to get shit done, which might help you with your lack of concentration.
Hope this helps.

Well, that "You'll Never Get Anywhere By Spending All Day Playing Around With That Bloody Drum Machine EP (2001)" (awesome name) was the last thing he released under any alias. The thing with those small indie musicians is that the internet doesn't know jack shit about them.

I got a shitload of money from my grandparents yesterday and I don't know if I should spend on my birthday party, or put it all on my bank account...

101 Rainbows is a favorite here too, I could probably listen to just the first loop for a couple of hours, all the changes are a bonus. There was mention of a "not so ambient" mix of it appearing in one of his live sets, anyone got a link?
No live set, but track 11 from the "Joyrex" tape has some similarity.

Can't stop laughing at this one... Andy is awesome

The more this album grows on me the less I actually care about a new afx release. The guy has already released so much good music throughout his career, I sometimes feel it would be greedy to ask for more. It took me like 4 years to listen to most of the tracks available to the public and some of them I wouldn't even recognize anymore, because there are just so many...
So, because he's made so much great music, you don't care if he doesn't release new stuff...? I don't understand this reasoning to be honest. "I don't need more great music." Does not compute
Jeez, just trying to be grateful, that's all. There's nothing I would be more excited about than new material, it's just that I don't /need/ it, because every time I dig through his discography I can find something new, unnoticed before.

In short, in my opinion CWLP is one of his best works
Yeah, I was expecting that reaction... One of his best does not mean top 3, more like top 10-ish.
It's no match for ICBYD or Drukqs, but I think it competes quite well against against most of RDJ album and SAW 1. It just deserves a better quality.
My view might be distorted by how excited I am to be able to listen to this in the first place, though. ;)

At first I was scared that the tracks we knew were on the LP would be the only good ones, but now they're actually my last favorite...
Fingertrips is amazing, that part at 1:30
Fluety, Squidge in the fridge, Airflow and Revpok are also pretty neat.
Mumbly isn't bad, but a bit overrated in my opinion.

In short, in my opinion CWLP is one of his best works and it was absolutely worth the money.

Sooo... Where's our Autechre world tour?

I love how with exai, autechre shattered everything I thought to know about music. It's the most innovative music heard in years.
However I think the songs are a little too unemotional. How I perceive the music depends a lot on the cover art, though. I thought that the tracks on L-event had a lot more color, but maybe that's because the cover art is colorful. Also, I listened to Exai in winter, in school. No wonder I associate blandness, boredom and stress with it.
I would love if they would mix what they're doing atm with move of ten or tracks like Rae, so I can actually listen to it without being depressed or questioning my existence.

I never really liked SoSW tbh.
I've listened to it a dozen times, but I can't help but think it's pretty bland and uninteresting.
I think it's the only RDJ album I don't like except maybe some of the anal lords.
-
Maybe it's because i listened to Exai in school and I can't listen to music that's negatively connoted, but I think I like these 4 tracks better than all tracks off the album.
They're not too complex in structure but I think they do a much better job at pulling you into the ambience, especially the last track. I'd definitely buy it, if I wasn't broke.

Kind of off-topic, but I didn't want to make a new thread.
Probably jazzband, but I just found this nice little thing. Does anybody know what the song is? Sounds a bit like Tears for Fears to me.
