    Poor Mavvy, he suddenly showed signs of illness - lethargy, not eating or drinking for 2 full days. I took him to the vet this morning and his bloodwork is off the charts for acute kidney failure. He goes back for fluid infusion tomorrow morning, but if he doesn't look any better by Sunday night I'm going to have to put him down on Monday :sad::sad::sad:

     

    I don't know why I'm telling this to WATMM, I'll proabably get a bunch of negative replies but for some strange reason I have to say something to the group...

     

    Wish him luck!

    My cat survived liver failure after having stopped eating for a couple of days (her skin had turned all yellow!) but we had to take a lot of care of her, force-feed her, etc. I hope your buddy is ok!

    Tomorrows Harvest - Today

    in Boards of Canada

    Posted · Edited by poblequadrat

    Tomorrow's Harvest is slightly cheesy but it grew on me. The concept was disappointing and the campaign bordered on the grotesque but the album is still solid.

    I have to say, though, that the weakness of the concept negatively affects any interpretation of their previous albums. I thought they were serious about memory, about how what appears as background noise is a part of the reproduction of the world as it is, and about how the presence in an artistic work of the possibilities of another time makes said work have a powerful impact, but in the end I wonder whether their techniques aren't contrived and cosmetic. They've also turned techno anonymity into teasing celebrity tactics, which is disgusting.

     

    Anyway, Palace Posy and Jacquard Causeway are great tracks. No way they're worse than a piece of insurance commercial fodder like Dayvan Cowboy.

    I read somewhere Uli has extreme OCD. Can you imagine the pain inside his brain as he thinks "I have to say 'this particular day', I have to thoroughly describe this pizza, I have to say 'I have to put the pizza on the back, not on the front as usual', I have to measure the pizza is really 30 inch, I have to label this experience as 'level 30'"...

    What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

    Dude the controller infogram on the back is beyond confusing, I'm still not sure if it tops out at 4 players or 5?

     

    Once again the Gamepad screen is useless, even looking down at the map is a death wish.

    Turned out I was being a numpty and you don't need any motion controls at all for this game - not even a sensor bar, since the Wiimotes pair via Bluetooth...

     

    Nice game, but I don't think it (or Smash Bros.) will save Nintendo at this point.

     

     

    The thing is what will save Nintendo? WiiU has got Pikmin, Mario, Mario Kart and now Smash Bros. I think a couple more big name games should be enough to make buying one worthwhile.

    Anyway, I hope Nintendo doesn't go down, because the 3DS is almost the only place where I recognise the gaming I grew up with. I don't picture myself ever getting an XBOX, which is funny because the original XBOX picked up on the Dreamcast's legacy at first, but sadly gaming ended up following a different path...

     

    tbh this generation is pants, nintendo, sony and microsoft alike

    Dry - A 46 year old man wakes up one day to finally realize that he's not a man but an umbrella. The movie chronicles him being blown around for 2.5 hrs on various adventures - finally ending up happily ever after landing into the home of a woman with an umbrella fetish.

     

    There's a Michel Gondry short that's basically this, a girl who's very unhappy until she becomes a chair and is picked up by some musician who sits on her. Lol.

    Dave Monolith - Welcome

    in New & Upcoming Releases

    Posted

     

    So is Dave confirmed to be Photodementia? Because some of the synth sounds are remarkably similar.

    Yep, him and a few 'friends' is all he's said about who else may be involved

     

     

    My theory is Dopplereffekt themselves had a hand. Basically it's what it sounds like: early Dopplereffekt songs with Dave Monolith synths. Plus someone posted that the guy who took the cover pictures has a connection with Gerald Donald, but maybe they were joking.

     

    I really hope it wasn't a one-off and more Photodementia is eventually released... I've been a bit obsessed with Fig04c lately.

     

    ps. i'm digging that beatwife track too!
