    lol I just realized that I accidentally cut out the "don't" while editing my post. Now it just looks dumb.

    Vaporwave is about more than that. It's about consumerism. It's about aesthetics. I care about vaporwave and neither does the person who made the album. I just care about the music. Consumerism has nothing to do with art and "aesthetics" is just a word used for art that relies on its image instead of its inherent quality. I'm not trying to argue with you or attack your tastes, it's just that none of that appeals to my taste.

    I'm very happy that his suffering is over. He was not a happy cat in the months preceding his death. He had so many problems going on that I just didn't know what to do. Even the vetrinarian couldn't figure out that was going on. I tried to make him happy, but there wasn't much I could do.

    Isn't this a fairly common item?? I'm glad you found some if it's not. I don't particularly like it lol. Not here. It's hard as fuck to get it in the U.S.

    Cassettes are a pain in the ass to record. I'm more of a vinyl guy, anyway, and I think it would be really cool to hear that album on a vinyl record. I don't care what's "hip" in the "scene" these days, it's easier to just pay someone to make records for me rather than buying a ton of blank cassettes, recording them all, and then printing out the J-cards and the labels.

    I actually managed to acquire some leberwurst in the United States. Today is a good day to be me.

    He's dead now but there was a time when he looked like this

    I can't get past the fucking darknuts protecting the recorder. Fuck those guys.

    My father's had a lot of those Pioneer receivers over the years. He would buy them off Craigslist, do some restoration on them, and sell them for at least twice as much as he payed. I remember them being heavy as hell. He could probably tell you how to fix it, as well.

    pretty damn good - vaporwavers would dig this, sounds like a good "mallsoft" release I'm thinking about putting it on vinyl as the first physical release from my new marienhaus quasi-label. I need to save up a bit more money first, though. I'm not sure what mallsoft is, but I think it's some great ambient music, vaporwave or not. Unfortunately my friend who made it doesn't like it as much as I do.

    If you think you have it bad with electronic music, you don't even know what post-industrial fans like myself have to go through. I've only met two other people who listen to my favorite artists. Nobody has any interest in that music these days. Thank god I at least know someone who listens to Autechre, or I wouldn't be able to take it anymore. I've thought about making a prilgrimage to Heaven Street Records in Brooklyn, but I don't have money for records.

    My friend's vaporwave album is legitimately better than any vaporwave I've heard. Go here if you want your proof. I wish vaporwave actually were all as good as this shit.

    Wow, these are gorgeous. Sorry about the late reply, but I didn't see these until now. They hit me right in the aesthetics, in a perfect way.

    You'll get there.... what exactly was your fuckup? failing a fuckload of courses lel, was doing just fine, getting grades in the 5-7 out of 10 range till last semester, when I had a couple personal problems (nothing really important but I'm a bit of a pussy) and failed way too many courses. Lesson learned though, this was a nice wake up call That happened to me in my junior and senior years of high school. I would get depressed and skip classes to take long walks outside when I didn't feel like being near other people. And now I have to take classes at the community college here to get my GPA up.

    It baffles me when Muslim immigrants choose to go to Europe because they hate their country so much, and then get angry because Euope isn't their country. There must not be an Arabic tranlation for "beggers can't be choosers." Seriously, how can people who have experienced war and destruction and sacrificed everything for their own safety and the safety of their families be so offended by such dumb bullshit? Like when Brian Eno had to un-release one of his tracks because it had a part of the Qur'an in it. That's the sort of thing that even the most extreme first-world SJWs would have a hard time being offended by, and third-world immigrants surely must have bigger problems than that. You don't see Tibetan refugees in India protesting and refusing aid because they're being helped by Sikhs instead of Buddhists. That's just unbelievable. If you go to someone for help because nobody else wants to help you, you shouldn't expect them to change their entire culture and society just for your own comfort.

    It takes more than a pinch to cure possession. Talk to a priest about having an exorcism. The police wouldn't know anything about it, don't talk to them. You need an expert who knows how to deal with these sorts of things.

    I still consider myself an Alaskan. Once and Alaskan always an Alaskan. Even if I'm more of a German.

    I think part of the problem is that I never have more than one character. Everything I've ever written has only had one central character and their thoughts and perceptions of their surroundings. I just don't know how to introduce a second character and still have it make sense. My antagonist is always just the universe, basically all of the character's surroundings. That makes it kind of hard for a complex plot to develop, I guess. Well, now that I noticed what the problem is, I can start working to fix it.

    I'd buy it if I saw it in a record store simply because of how weird the cover and the title are. Something like that has to be interesting.

    I think the problem is that I usually don't have an ending, or even a plot, decided when I start writing. I just write out whatever my thoughts are, and they usually don't go anywhere, which I think is probably a reflection of how my life is right now. I have tried writing something that already had an ending in mind, but even that usually fails because I can't figure out how to get from the beginning to the ending.

    I do write poetry more often than stories, so maybe that's why I can never get far. I always write my stories as if they're prose poetry, which gets annoying because sometimes all I want to do is write like a normal person (or at least at a normal pace). Stories two page or less in length are referred to as flash fiction and is indeed a genre Also some poems can be so long as to fill an entire book (or books) by themselves: i.e. Divine Comedy Also you smell Oh yeah I forgot about flash fiction. I guess that's just what I do, then. I can never get past the two page hurdle. Still, I'd like to be able to write a novel or something one day

    I've been getting much better at writing lately, but I also have a lot of trouble doing it for more than an hour or so. I get really inspired, put all of my soul into a few paragraphs, and then I'm done with all of the ideas I had. I wish I could write less densely so I could make developed stories, but that unfortunately just isn't how it works for me. I need help.

    Great Russian Novel, you mean.

    Does this even need to be pointed out?

    Yeah, that's definitely a 'safe' beginners OPN album. If you can get past the super noisy intro (which actually works quite nicely as a comparison/segue to the next track desipte the fact I don't usually like noise artists) Returnal is grand too (was actually my first OPN purchase) I'd say it's all about Rifts 4 beginners Rifts is definitely the easy train way to get into OPN - great melodies, lush 70's vibe, non-repetitive for the most part, good range of styles to pick from Ummm...
