Joyrex is suspiciously quiet...
He's standing by WATMM's servers with ten buckets of water and a multitude of fire extinguishers

Comments may have to be moderated too, so there's perhaps a delay from when people post them to when they actually appear.

edit: if people start posting weirdo creepy stuff moderation is bound to happen

Will we be allowed to comment on tracks?
Each page has this at the bottom.
CommentsTo comment on this you have to bag at least 1 track.Not trying to sound like a dick but doesn't that kind of answer your question? or maybe it's not working for you, considering the site is crashing left and right. Basically, if you buy at least one track from a certain release then you should be able to drop a word in that release's comment section.
I can comment on the music I just bought, funnily enough I have been given a username, 'user159811'

I just bought two tracks and I'm downloading them now. I guess you people are so crazed you're typing in your passwords backwards and shit.
edit: I am listening to Acid Windowlicker, all flac like. What's the prob?
-
lol at 'two mixes not for cash'
But this is pretty ace, looking forward to getting a few extra tracks.

Charles Dickins' Tale of Two Cities. It's long-winded in descriptions as these old novels are but my god could the man plot a plot!
Also just about to finish Being Dead by Jim Crace and it's good. Shout-out to Spiral for the rec.

Congrats, Squee!
A lazy coworker states that the reason he does little work is because he'll never get a raise, so there is no point in doing more than he needs to (which is jack shit, and everyone hates him for it). Little does he know that, a few feet away, a certain worker gets paid more than he does because he worked hard last year, doing a job that wasn't his. In fact, the lazy coworker even used me as an example (in a conversation with someone else) of someone who is being dumb for working hard (honestly, the job is easy) and earning the same money for working hard.
= me whenever he rants (again) that everyone gets paid the same -

Hollow Knight: good, wonderful art
Everspace: dying in space endlessly, sort of kinda runs on my laptop
Tempted to buy NieR: Automata in the Steam Sale but have bought two games already. HMMM

A peculiar piece of Isis related info is that Aaron Harris (along with two members of Deftones) was in the Paris venue the Eagles of Death Metal were playing in moments before a terrorist attack occurred in 2015 (although he left before it happened).
Basically, a former member of Isis the band was in the venue before Isis the terrorist group shot the place up.

Perhaps a travel agency could do a package holiday based around a journey to get the record. 'See Michigan! Buy an Aphex record! Go home again!'

The problem with that method is that the mouth is above the front legs and that's usually the most dangerous bit(e) of any dog
Also I am not fond of dogs either, they are brainless morons

Bought Underworld and Don Quixote for cheap in a charity shop. More huge books to read. Whoop!
-
Cloud Atlas was good, not perfect but braver work than most try to do. Look forward to reading Bone Clocks, which I also have.
Starting on The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. I want to see whether or not it really is a turkey (some say so).

Has this image been efseen/explained/debunked, from Suction Records - who are releasing old reflex stuff
I think that's the DAT that was on ebay years ago.
It was a one-track DAT, that Richard sent to some spanish record studio guy.
Phlaps if I RC?
Aphex bought a tank, but should have bought a new ballpoint pen

Figured out how to rip the pre-gap tracks on certain cds. Hooray! Now I can listen to songs that weren't really worth the effort of ripping or hiding to begin with.

Clearly a masterpiece in music journalism
I'm sort of impressed they've let those reviews stay up, although there are reports they often retcon certain reviews if they want to keep someone sweet. For example, I could've sworn Aphex's Computer Controlled Music got a 6.9 on release, but the other day I saw it had a 8.1.

I started reading a Pitchfork review of the new Fleet Foxes album, which contained the sentence "at times, Pecknold threatens to be the most misanthropic, nontraditional student to wander an Ivy League quad since a bearded Rivers Cuomo hobbled through Harvard." I hate music journalism so fucking much. But it serves me right for still periodically visiting a site like Pitchfork.
Pitchfork doesn't review music, it reviews context. They're sort of documentary writers, where the score is related directly to how much of a narrative they can wrap around the music being reviewed. Plenty of good music gets sub-par scores because the reviewer can't find 'the story'. Just making a good tune is not enough: it has to be representative of some part of the musicians life, otherwise why bother?
That said, ignoring the 'shimmering shards of icy glass through lasers' type of writing, I often agree with their reviews. Even if they assume way too much into the music-making process.

I believe nothing and no-one, not even myself

Top unboxing. Even so, would be neat to own them on wax. Maybe if I ever end up passing Houston on my way to work somehow, I'll remember to get a copy or twenty.
Also Lopez, if you receive any crazy offers from people could you post them? Would like to see how batshit some people might go to get a record they can buy from a store.

Finished Being Dead, the ending was quite touching. Will definitely try more Crace.
1q84 was my first Murakami, and I liked it but man it's the worst one to start on lol
I think the point of all those boring sections where they're exercising and making salads and editing a novel manuscript is brought into focus when they finally meet and the narrator says something along the lines of 'It was then they realised just how alone they've been'. All the boring stuff is to make you realise the lives they are leading and had led are empty, but only become aware of it when they meet each other and find the happiness they last experienced when they held hands briefly at school. IMO, anyway. I experienced the previous three volumes rush through my mind in a blur when that line was said, and made it worth the slog (because it was a bit boring in places lol).
That said, when I got to to volume 2's end, I was incensed. Like 'that's it?' Definitely glad he continued. The most boring parts was all the cult stuff, didn't really add much to the story imo.
