  1. he's taking it pretty well actually https://twitter.com/classiclib3ral/status/1026508918934171648 https://twitter.com/classiclib3ral/status/1026516158172880898 Solid discussion from a left position about why it's not actually that good at all: very solid analysis as usual
  2. he's a nostalgist who peaked in the late 90s. he's obsessed with gear now and has been for the last decade. if you're looking for innovation there are other artists. i think aphex has settled nicely into making extremely good electronic music that is still built around a pop framework, which is what he's always done well. his days of pushing the genre ahead are probably over.
  3. yeah I agree, it's pretty heavy-handed the track is pretty good but does it really feel different / like an upgrade from what he was doing in the mid 90s? the sound design is kind of distinctive but surely not any more than it was before he had a massive collection of rare, expensive synths. honestly maybe even less so. I don't think richard actually has any "next level beats" in store for us--at least not until he finally decides to release them 100 years from now. I'd love to be wrong though where is there for him to go? unless he starts making autechre tracks i can't see him ever progressing beyond the sound he has. for all his experimentation aphex is still a fairly accessible artist.
  4. this man eugene give up life in 2006 when discover the torrent service oink pink palace. he spend all his time living off israeli welfare in condo made of palestinian child bone, downloading thousand of movie and tv show and write review on obscure internet forum. he bottom feeder like my child, never satisfy by endless content. he remind me that fat vampire "pearl" in blade movie who allergic to uv light and sit all day on bank of computer, listen to grouper and drone music.
  5. unreleased 1993 EP, calling it nowowoWOWOW woah nice find Or 1493 days after Syro. that makes the release date for collapse october 24...
  6. rave dyuki was in a post-rock band called emotional kreskendo. he was half japanese, half techno. at night he cruised the scorrier area for prostitutes. they called him "the duke".
  7. i'm listening to his new ambient record. it's alright, nothing spectacular. also been listening to the first manic street preachers record. i don't get why this band was so hyped in the 90s. other than motorcycle emptiness, which is a great song, they just sound like a very generic rock band from the late eighties with leftist lyrics. maybe it gets better.
  8. So a guy I know personally through family, Jim Morhard, is trumps pick for nasa chief. This guy literally was a lawyer and then worked as a senate aide. He knows NOTHING about the space program. He isn’t a scientist, a manager, a problem solver or anything that would qualify a person to be second in command for the entire us space program. I can’t wait to see how he embarrasses himself.
  9. sam really showing he's moved on with his life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NO7D5-fmB8
  10. what i think i look like listening to idm what i actually look like listening to idm
  11. that is far beyond the scope of a first world problem
  12. watched all of mad men over the last few weeks. I’m not sure how I feel about it. the fifth season was probably the best, but the sixth was extremely uneven to the point of derailing the show. it seems like that was intentional, 1968 being a confusing time, but it lead me into the final season in a bit of a funk where I didn’t feel all that invested anymore. felt like the status quo was upset only to be reinstated over a couple episodes, and then don’s actions near the end didn’t ring true to me. but still, probably in the top television dramas, maybe even better than the sopranos for its examination of the spiritual death of America, even if it at times feels like a soap opera.
  13. is this the vid?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxWSCZqx1FE
