    stupid first world achievements and successes

    After almost a decade of casual searching, this morning I finally located a copy of MINDFUCKERS that I can actually afford.

     

    Not the album, the book.

     

    Later this summer when I have more free time I think I'm going to produce an audiobook of it, just because that's something that should exist.

     

    I'm not a book collector or anything so I'm only after a handful of very specific, esoteric things (although if I happen to find something cool for cheap I grab it). In the last 12 years or so managed to track down underpriced copies of the Boo Hoo Bible, The Wizard of Op, Raymond Pettibon: The Books, Fletcher and Zenobia, and now Mindfuckers.  The only rare book left that I'd actually want to spend any sort of money on is I Seem To Be a Verb, but my hopes aren't high for ever finding an affordable copy of that

    shii. hella keen to read this, I've been diving into Acid Dreams a lot recently.

    Have you seen Into the Spiderverse? I really enjoyed that one.

     

     

    spiderveres is the only marvel film I've enjoyed (I was gunna say recently but looking at the list on wikipedia list) literally ever.

     

    edit: and thats mostly because of the visuals + soundtrack. story was mediocre af imo.

    also the animator did that episode from Love Death + Robots which is cool.

    man i've have 2666 on my shelf for like 5 years and i just can't begin. it's a mastodont piece. had a period of reading thicker books, with the first part of the man without qualities being the culmination. after that it's most often been 3-400 pages maximum with a couple of exceptions

     

    regarding deus ex, it's MD. never played any of the other ones so i can't really compare. but am having fun nonetheless :)

     

    how's the southern reach trilogy? wanted to read annihilation after having seen the movie, but decided not to. can't remember why though.

     

     

    2666 is worth the time imo. pretty harrowing to get through around the middle but it's a fkn beautiful novel in the end.

     

    ah wicked, I thought the art in MD was pretty amazing at times and Ed Harrison's work on the soundtrack is absolutely stunning. felt like the story was pretty weak in the end but i did still have fun. HR was pretty fantastic so def recommend it if you enjoy MD.

     

    really loved the annihilation book! I was also a bit sceptical going into it for some reason, but it was a really rewarding read after watching the film.

    I honestly had never read anything like it before, even just the descriptions of the world around the character's was really interesting haha. The second book is meant to be a bit of a drag to get through, but I'm enjoying it so far.

    'ere's something new:

     

     

    Enjoy!

     

    wow.. this is really beautiful.

    reminds me a bit of Jóhann Jóhannsson's sounds in some ways.

    what do you use for all that spectral fuckery? sounds lovely.

     

     

    Very flattering, thanks!

    It's pretty much just a Tele, and Old Blood Noise Dark Star and MurF overdubbed straight into the computer. Some minimal editing to create the intro and the "B" section.

    Glad you like it!

     

     

     

    interesting! would have never guessed it was a tele before haha. that dark star pedal looks fun.

    I got invited to some "boomer" gamer discord server a few days ago, so I joined. But today it went full retard for some inexplicable reason. So I left voluntarily.

     

    I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the modern gaming community as a whole is full of autistic edgelord assholes. I need some kind of psychological detox.

     

    (BTW no offense intended towards folk who have an official autism diagnosis. I'm talking about all the shitbirds that don't have second thoughts slinging around the n-word or being anti-Semite, knocking "libtards" without any prior political context, or referring to females as "thots" by default. They're pestilent scabs as far as I'm concerned.)

     

     

    can confirm this is not controversial, the gaming community has always been mostly yuck n fucked. also wdym boomer, I know shitbirds my age who act like this.

    Abba - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) is pop perfection.  Ditto for Take A Chance On Me.  If I were to ever buy a greatest hits compilation it would probably be Abba.  When they hit, they hit hard.  Those arrangements.   :catsupine:

     

    what the fuck. I was no joke just about to post about gimme! gimme! gimme!

    just spent like four days trying to remember where that melody was from and finally found it tonight.

    I think I was thinking of Hung Up by Madonna which samples it.

    watched Children of Men for the first time. its aged horribly well ay

    Nah, how?

     

    seemed like a fairly realistic depiction of where Britain, Israel, the USA, and Australia's refugee policies has/is leading towards. The nationalist propaganda, squalid refugee camps, and hints at state orchestrated terrorist attacks.

    Oh yeah, ok. I read it as “it aged horribly” and I thought, “I like that movie though”

     

     

    horribly as in fuck its actually not unthinkable that this could be real.

     

     

    aye. i loved children of men (only seen it once around when it came out) and haven't watched it since cos i imagine it'd be a real bummer of a movie today, for the reasons you're talking about. 

     

     

    I think it would be interesting to watch again now, I'd imagine it wouldn't appear as shocking as back in 2006.
