    Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)

    I like the message that Carter sent out on the Voyager probe

     

    This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human beings among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet Earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization.

    We cast this message into the cosmos. It is likely to survive a billion years into our future, when our civilization is profoundly altered and the surface of the Earth may be vastly changed. Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some--perhaps many--may have inhabited planets and spacefaring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message:

    This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.

    I can't imagine Trump signing anything as sincere and vulnerable as that.

    For the "blackgaze" fans (think Alcest, Amesoeurs, Les Discrets, etc...), there's a cool album coming out next week:

    added to my long list of music to check out

     

    when it comes to "blackgaze" lately I really dig the stuff that's still pretty heavy on tortured vocals and depressive black metal influences, like that KZOHH song I posted earlier. I liked the last Alcest album Shelter ok but it was too dull and mellow, I would of rather just listened to straight up shoegaze

     

     

    Can't top this (shitty youtube quality tho):

    What TV series are you watching at moment?

    Deadwood. I don't like to say too much about a show until I've finished but after watching season two I'm pretty sure it's genius. Line by line it's a marvel...I've never been so impressed by a show. The whole thing, every aspect, is just stunning. Swearengen's monologues hit hard.

    Absolutely! I've always been listing it in "what's your favorite series" threads and was pretty much alone in that. Definitely in my top 3. Such a shame it got cancelled.
