    A few albums recently listened.

    I'll have to listen to all of the 10/10's ya'll are listing.

     

    Deerhunter - Microcastles: 8/10: The majority of songs are fantastic, though I get pretty bored with the middle of the album. Some of my favorite deerhunter tracks are on this album, but Cryptograms has far more album cohesiveness.

     

    Lilacs & Champagne - Lilacs & Champagne: Good/10: I've only listened to it once so far, but from what I've heard it's pretty great. It's beat driven psychedelia with occasional vocals and such. I can't really explain it. Calling it Psychedlic Trip-hop doesn't really do it justice.

    Merzbow - Merzbeat: 9/10

    It's Merzbow, but it has beats. One of my all-time favorite albums. Only one shitty track, and it's the shortest one.

     

    Radar Bros. - Illustrated Garden: 6/10

    Quarry is a fantastic song. The rest of the album is mediocre. I think their genre is called "Slow-Core". I saw them open for Modest Mouse once.

     

    The Alps - III: 7.5/10

    Nice psychedelic music, minus the nasty saxophone drone on one track.

     

    I think this thread is going to end up being made up of my posts.

    -Was supposed to fly home today, flight was delayed 30 minutes.

    -It was 97 degrees Farenheit as we boarded the poorly air conditioned plane when we were told another 30 minute delay was occurring due to weather. We were to dodge it by flying over Canada.

    -Another 30 minute delay, due to bad weather over Canada, we were to dodge it by flying under Tennessee. We were all very sweaty and unhappy at this point.

    -Flight was canceled, we all unboard the plane.

    -I wait in line with several of the other disgruntled passengers for 40 minutes, only to be told that we're in the premium customer service line, and that we have to go in the other line.

    -I wait for 2 hours in the other customer service line, lugging my luggage around. Luckily my laptop was charged, so I spent 1 of the hours listening through Merzbow's Merzbeat.

    -Now I leave tomorrow. Wish I could've speant that 7 hours in the airport doing something else though.

    Not a burger, but I finally had my Grease Truck Sandwich with the scrambled eggs in it.

    It was okay.

     

    Later that day my mother grilled up some garden burgers for me, and we slathered them in a mixture of mayo and chipotle peppers. There was also a side of fresh grilled corn on the cob, which we also slathered with the mayo/chipotle mixture.

    Eleanor Friedberger - Last Summer: 7.5/10

    Nice pop songs. Eleanor's voice is beautiful as usual.

     

    Matthew Friedberger - Good-bye Forever: 5/10

    The piano works in the beginning are fantastic. I can't tell if he's programming sections or playing it himself though. The synth works at the end however, are pretty weak compared to other things he has done with a synth. Some beats would have probably helped. I subscribed to his 8-LP series and I'd say either this or the Organ one are the weakest of the 8 (for those who have any idea what I'm talking about).

     

    DJ Rainbow Ejaculation - LP: 10/10

    I've listened to this album far too many times in the past 2 years. Extremely happy homo-erotic breakcore. The sample switches every 4 to 8 beats so it keeps it interesting.

    I am yet to buy any of his stuff released as Leyland Kirby - but I'm going to. 9.1/10

    Love the album you mentioned, definitely recommend "Sadly the future is no longer what it was" and "Eager to tear apart the stars".

    boards of canada twoism

    i prefer hi scores, good stuff tho, especially the 2nd track.

    That's my exact opinion.

     

    Picky Picnic - Picnic Land! (Experimental, Zolo, Dada) I was absolutely in love with a song from this album, but sadly the rest of it isn't very good. It's all very experimental, but done in a shit way. There's one track where a guy is making a gargling sound all of the way through it while a shitty synth is played.

    3/10 - Here's the song I liked

    Dunno if this has been done or if it will work. Same thing as the film thread, except with albums.

     

    Rule: You must've listened through the whole album recently. Don't talk about some album you had heard a year ago, or an album where you've heard a couple of tracks out of from some playlist or whilst shuffling your library.

    Also, it'd be nice if you gave us some sort of idea what the genre is, or what it sounds like.

     

    Anyways, here goes.

     

    Oval's Wohnton (1992): 7/10

    It's essentially Oval's later glitch sound mixed with Trip-Hop and a German vocalist. As a result, it's a lot more accessible than Oval's other work. I'll have to give it another listen through.

    At my girlfriends campus I put together a Veggie Burger with lettuce tomato barbecue sauce, mustard, and cucumber. Hadn't had cucumber on a burger previous, but it gives it a "fresh" taste. Amazing.

     

    Currently in Jersey. So far have eaten a Veggie Indian Fat Sandwich, an 18 inch Sub, a big-ass omelet at a diner, too much pizza, some buttermilk coconut and sweet potato pie. I've lost over 30 pounds since my last trip to Jersey, but I fear it's all going to come back now.

    Now Reading

    Second time I read it. Read it sophomore year of high school and I converted from Atheism to Agnosticism as a result of reading it.

    One of my all-time favorite books. Multi-Dimensional coolness coupled with hilarious satire.

     

    Though I hadn't picked up on the satire when I read it in high school, was just baffled by the way upper dimensions were explained.

     

    Edit: Flatland should be a required read of every watmm-er imo. The 4th Spacial Dimension is pretty IDM.

    I hate my major and there are no majors I'm remotely interested in taking at my school. Forestry sounds kind of cool, but I'd have to transfer to another school which is farther away from my girlfriend. Plus, I kind of like where I'm living so I don't want to leave the town yet.

     

    Glunk, instead of sports (which probably sound like an undertaking when you're sluggish), just walk somewhere. I found a nature trail near me that helps me clear my head. I always find that I can think clearer after a walk. Hope you feel better relatively soon. I've been down the anti-depressant road a few times and I wasn't a fan.

    The Ig Nobel Prizes are amazing

    Was reading a cracked article and ended up reading this wiki page.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ig_Nobel_Prize_winners

     

    "Biology – Presented to Peter Fong of Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, for contributing to the happiness of clams by giving them Prozac."

    "Computer Science – Presented to Chris Niswander of Tucson, Arizona, for inventing PawSense, software that detects when a cat is walking across your computer keyboard."

    "Peace – Presented jointly to Claire Rind and Peter Simmons of University of Newcastle, in the UK, for electrically monitoring the activity of a brain cell in a locust while that locust was watching selected highlights from the movie Star Wars."

     

    There are scientific experiments for everything I guess.

     

    Cognitive science: Toshiyuki Nakagaki, Hiroyasu Yamada, Ryo Kobayashi, Atsushi Tero, Akio Ishiguro, and Ágota Tóth, for discovering that slime molds can solve puzzles.

    Shit, slime molds are so cool. They've used them to pilot simple robots and map highway systems. Look that shit up.
