It could also be the fact that the band I saw most recently before Earth was Swans. That would have an effect on how I remember it. They definitely weren't as loud as the Devin Townsend show I saw just a couple of months later, though.

What's wrong with RBMA?
-
Classic. If they're still like they were when I saw them, ear plugs are recommended.
I saw them last year and they weren't that loud at all. Pretty quiet for the band that invented drone metal.
-
Good luck. When I saw them in DC, Dylan was rocking out about a foot in front of my face. He kept swinging his guitar down at me and almost hitting me in the head. The music itself was alright, but not much variation in sound. You'll love the live version of There Is A Serpent Coming, though. It's fucking incredible, and the off-key shreds that Dylan does are absolutely brilliant. Much better than the studio version, even without the vocals!

I'd be surprised if he doesn't, considering how important this place is in IDM and Warp business in general. (I know it's difficult to seriously read about WATMM being imporant, but in the context of Aphex and friends, it actually is to some extent.)

Dude you need to eat some shrooms immediately
Actually I don't. What I need to do is change my lifestyle. That's why I'm preparing to leave my current sedentary location and go on a journey to South America. I'm not ready yet, though. I'm going to a job interview on Wednesday, so I'll hopefully have enough money saved up by next summer to head off.
Yeah, I have contemplated suicide many times in the past. Right now I'm just sort of waiting around for death, and that's the way it's been for a while.
this will be a great post to read in the morning to start a brand new day
Whatever makes you happy.

I appreciate your honesty, man.
Depression is evil. Robert Sapolsky said that "basically, depression is the worst disease you can get."
Don't worry, I'm done with depression. Right now I'm just sort of apathetic toward life and everything else. It isn't quite depression, just indifference. I decided that since I'm going to die anyway, I may as well stay alive until I die naturally. Maybe there's a reason why I haven't died yet. Thank you for the concern, though. It means a lot. People weren't as concerned during the worst times.

Mushrooms really are as magical and therapeutic as all of its many advocatates suggest. Drillkicker, track some down if you can, man. They break your deeply-ingrained pattern of negative ideation and give you a huge, literally life-altering dose of perspective.
Also, consider checking out a psychiatrist. (Currently, I'm on a low dose of setraline. I haven't had a major depressive episode in a long time.)
But whatever you do, don't resign yourself to thinking that "well, this is just my personality, I guess." You didn't reason yourself into depression, and you can't reason yourself out of it.
A friend of mine took shrooms in California a few months ago. The way he described it doesn't sound very pleasant, and it completely changed his entire personality. He's now against any hallucinogenic drugs, so I'm not sure that's what I want. I don't trust anything external that promises spiritual hapiness, anyway. That's something that can only be found alone.
Also, @drillkicker, depression, mostly a physiological problem. Get healthy, supplement properly, exercise. Depression will diminish greatly. Heavy and purposeful supplementation is a good way to begin to overcome this issue. You can build from there with altering nutrition, if necessary, and then once in a more stable healthy state you can begin exercise. Other good options for starting and maintaining this process are regular visits to the sauna and cold shock therapy, be it cryo or ice baths.
If you are going to use psychedelics to disrupt deep depression and suicidal thoughts you need a guide/chaperon/friend while you do it. Please don't do it alone.
Thanks for the advice. I've been considering vegetarianism for the psychological benefits, but I'm also a bit unsure of what to eat to adequately substitute meat. I know pasta is not the way to go, since it only worsens depression. What exactly do sauna and shock do for the mind that helps it? I've never heard of doing that to treat depression before.
I'm not exactly depressed, by the way, I just feel somewhat pointless and unsure of what to do with my life.
I'm perfectly fine with the way my life is. I've been emotionally stable for once and that's more than I could ever wish for.
Right now I'm just sort of waiting around for death, and that's the way it's been for a while.
Sounds like a blast, man. Whatever you do, don't smoke pot. You might accidentally enjoy yourself a little.
It's a bit too expensive for me. I'd smoke marijuana with pleasure if it were free and easily attainable, but it's neither of those things. None of its benefits are anything that will bring me closer to spiritual hapiness, though, so it isn't worth spending time and money acquiring, at least not the time and money that it currently demands.
Also weed is about 1000x better without alcohol. Alc's actually a surprisingly shitty drug considering how popular it is.
I wish more people would smoke marijuana instead of drinking alcohol. High people are much more fun to be around than drunk people.

Looks like my cat who died recently, but with a slightly bushier tail.

I really like the shapes in that one. How do you go about drawing something abstract like this? I usually get lost pretty quickly and don't know where I want my lines to go.
Where were these taken?
-
I'm kind of pissed they released it so far ahead of the album because now I listened to it too much and it's going to mess up the flow of the album for me.
That's what happened with Problem Areas in R+7, but it actually created a pretty good effect. The way Along builds up to Problem Areas gets me excited every time! It's just unfortunate that they're separated in the vinyl version of the album.

I never do any psychoactive drugs and I rarely drink alcohol. Never enough to get drunk, though. Mind-altering substances seem kind of pointless to me. Not worth it, anyway.
Eat an eighth of strong mushrooms and realize that time is experienced subjectively and that your buzzkill attitude is merely a pattern that your synapses are desperately clinging to in order to reinforce your fragile ego and sense of self that is hanging by a thread over a bottomless fractal of abstraction before plunging into a waterfall of love while your ancestors teach you how to start a fire on a floating island in the sky.Bitch.
Fuck off and don't tell me how to live my life. I've seen what shrooms can do to a person and I don't want it.
I'm not angry about drugs, I'm indifferent about them. What I'm angry about is people telling me that my life is meaningless unless I'm on drugs. It's never acceptable to preach to strangers about how superior your lifestyle is compared to others. I'm perfectly fine with the way my life is. I've been emotionally stable for once and that's more than I could ever wish for. I haven't told anybody else how they should spend their time, so I don't appreciate others doing so to me.
so, a guy walks into a "drugs are fun!" thread and says drugs are pointless and "not worth it"... then another user tells him what the point of tripping is and how one might appreciate it... then the guy tells the second user to fuck off and that shrooms can mess you up.
the next day, the guy returns, posts again saying he's indifferent about drugs, not angry at drugs. he's only angry at people who tell him that his "life is meaningless unless I'm on drugs" (which no one said). he says he doesn't tell anyone how to spend their time (but he did say that the way they spend their time is "pointless," not a subtle diss exactly).
based on these series of events, i have to ask, drillkicker, what are you even doing in this thread at all? what did you expect anyone to say to your statement about drugs being pointless... in a drugs thread? people didn't agree, and you took that as some personal attack, that someone was telling you how to "live your life," which was a huge overreaction in my opinion. not to mention, spilling all this personal information, like someone you know got fucked up on shrooms, you're emotionally stable for the first time in your life, etc... ok? how is that relevant? do you want us to comfort you after you're telling us to fuck off and that our interest/hobby/lifestyle or whatever is pointless?
what do you see coming from this exchange? because, from my perspective, you're just filling this thread with negative, pointless shit that isn't advancing any discussion. if you want to talk about how drugs are bad, maybe link some studies, some research done on the outcomes of drug use, and i bet people will be more than willing to engage in a discussion. if you want to talk about how drugs have affected you or people you know, i'm sure users would be willing to listen if you didn't take comments so personally and respond in such an aggressive manner.
but i don't think you're interested in doing that. you dropped in to vent, maybe provoke people a little, or act the victim. that's not cool, productive, or interesting, and i want you to be aware of that.
I can see now that it's going to be pointless to try and explain to you what's really happening, because you are obviously a very narrow-minded individual and can't think with an unbiased mindset. I'll keep that in mine for future reference. My advice is to read the OP, because you apparently only saw the word "marijuana" and nothing else.
My post was meant to be light hearted and humorous but I sincerely mean that unless you have tripped, there's just no way of imagining what it can reveal to you. This is because we only come up with ways of communicating for the state of mind we are in during our normal everyday lives. Words can really fail us here.
We're walking a very narrow path right now.
It didn't have a light hearted tone at all. It had a strictly imperative tone, so you can't expect me to assume that you weren't being serious. What you fail to take into account is that you don't need to have drugs to experience different states of mind. But different states of mind don't mean much because ultimately everything is meaningless. Everything that we experience with our senses and conceive of with our minds is veiled with a flawed "wall of words", for lack of a better phrase. Not until the mind and the body are completely destroyed will anything have any meaning.

I just finished ripping the fourth record of my 18-LP Merzbow box set. I feel slightly more relieved, but I've still got a lot ahead of me before this ordeal is finished and I can celebrate. It feels like an impossible task, like I'm climbing the Chomolungma of records.

Well it's better than the Kaoss Edge tracks, that's for sure. It's slowly growing on me, as well, but I was really hoping for something more ambient, or at least atmospheric like Problem Areas was.
-
Vaporwave was never even a real thing.
-
Nothing beats your good ol' trusty Max/MSP standalone.
-
I really don't get how anyone could like those Kaoss Edge tracks. Those vocals are so shitty and the lyrics are cheesy as hell. They sound like very rough and unfinished drafts that Daniel put together in about an hour (or less). At least Bite Through It obviously had some effort put into it.
It's all about the a e s t h e t i c s . They sound sort of like cyber goth/industrial from a videogame.
But it's shit. Why would I listen to shit? And industrial music sounds nothing like those Kaoss Edge tracks. This is industrial music:

I don't think I like this new stuff. At all. I was hyped to hear Kaoss Edge and a track from GOD, but this just... isn't good. I guess I'll listen to Returnal again and try to forget any of this recent business happened. It's kind of ruining OPN's vibe for me. At least the chords at the end of Looking Glass were kind of cool. I actually thought that song was fake, though, until I saw it on DLo's Twitter. Heartbreaking.
Also, to whomever it was who posted those R Plus Seven promotional loops earlier, thank you. I really enjoyed those when I was waiting for the album to come out. Those loops ended up actually being better than the album itself. I was massively disappointed when I found out that the Along loop only appeared once in the entire album.

what's a quintessential track of oneohtrix for someone who hasn't gotten in to him?
This is his best one
It is amusing he bought it for such a specific and fairly "traditional' sound.
Yeah, an actual accordion would have been much cheaper. (It wouldn't have sounded as good on Returnal, though.)
lol
well weren't many users of synths and keyboards with presets session and live band performers? like, the appeal being they could play a lot of different sounds and "instruments" with one piece of equipment. I think that was his dad's mentality, especially if he wanted to play accordion parts of songs without actually learning how to play an accordion - which is a tricky instrument to play and learn
man im probably looking way too much into it
ITT we analyze Daniel Lopatin's father's psychology and career to determine why he decided to get a Juno.

Is this a joke?
Edit: Apparently RBMA is actually owned by Red Bull. I was not aware that they were actually associated with one another. That is quite a dubious thing for an energy drink company to do.
