Ha! Me too to ramp it up to 303.

Wait, is that the renaissance fair guy from Love on the Spectrum? If yes, that's quite the reinvention. The things we do for love, eh?

I dunno, I have to say it didn't blow me away as much as I thought it would. Maybe it was the preliminary pics that looked so nice and crisp and colorful leading me to expect something different (the old middle school face-and/or-ass-on-the-school photocopier gag taken to dizzying new heights basically) and the Aphex/Weirdcore combo in general raising unreasonable expectations (especially after I was totally gobsmacked by the "Collapse" vid and love the live stuff) so that the end result felt a bit too close to those X-Mix videos from the 90s or some clever foobar visualizer. Don't know if I'm alone with this, and maybe it was a conscious decision to go for a sort of retro look, but it just didn't really gel with me. I've only watched it the once though, perhaps it needs to be digested a little more and will become a beautiful friend in the long run like the track itself already has.

Glad to see I'm not the only one

Thanks! I never figure anything out. I've now downloaded the first four tracks three times.

Interesting, hadn't noticed that track 5—8 are 16bit. So that's why the others sound better to me. Wait, those are the omc tracks. Now I'm confused. -
He's done that several times before.

Thanks for the heads-up, but does anyone know if there's an option to downsingle single tracks from your purchases? Looks like I can only dl the whole package every time. Maybe I'm just too dumb. Edit: I see all you nerds in the store comments

I've watched all six Scream movies so you don't have to. Ranking looks like this: Scream (1996) Scream VI Scream (2022) Scream 4 Scream 2 Scream 3 Don't trust anyone who says different. The most horrifying part was helplessly watching Courtney Cox's face cycle through increasingly ghoulish iterations. I will now go listen to loads of Autechre to restore the lost IQ points.

That would be your headphone's drivers or transducers, and yes, I think I hear it too. A bit more on the right side, maybe? But I never know what's deliberate with him and what is just ... laissez-faire? There's also noticable hiss on a lot of his tracks and a ridiculously high noise floor. I guess it's just the analogue equipment, but sometimes I think he toys around with it a bit. I dunno, I'm clueless when it comes to production. I do know that these tracks felt especially "dirty" on first listen, and I thought he was going to address this with the new masters, but I don't know that he did. Edit: Subbass is incredible though, sooo juicy.

Fuck yeah. I hadn't even known about this. And Kyle McLachlan's starring? Count me in.

I'd think, well, someon's biting Richard's style pretty hard. Come on, those voices and that lead melody on track 1, those cowbells — it doesn't get any more Aphexian than that. I actually thought that OP was taking a little jab at AE — you know, that whole AE vs. Aphex feud, which is utterly ridiculous.

You might want to try some Autechre, they're gud.

Well, one of them's right.

^^ Love the Aphexwolf tardigrades. Incidentally, tardigrades also featured heavily in the new Futurama episode, which aired on the same day. These buggers are up to something!

^ Funnily enough, I just put the Blu-ray in the ol' Amazon basket about an hour ago when I realized I don't own it. Looking forward to rewatching it, it's been a couple of years. Absolute milestone.

Yeah, that ending hit me right in the feels. Didn't know his mother had passed away. RIP Lorna.

Did Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends in one sitting last night, after watching the original and H2O a couple of days ago (skipped all the rest). Expected to hate them more actually. Even though the first one of the latest bunch got the best ratings, I think I liked it the least. Make no mistake, these flicks have nothing to do with the original and its spirit, but somehow it made sense to me to manoeuver the franchise in an almost anthology-like direction, getting to know the fine citizens of Haddonfield a bit better and so on. A tiny bit of world-building there, which made the town feel more lived-in. These movies really lend themselves to a good binging, since they're all interconnected that way. I was especially glad to see that Michael apparently had the chance to hone his craft in prison. Let's face it, he was actually one of the more lousy serial killers before, but now he's upped his game and had thrice as many kills under his belt in the 2018 movie alone than in Carpenter's Halloween (all of the sequels have apparently been retconned), to which I tip my hat. Each movie had a dozen jump scares, none of which worked on me. Maybe I'm getting too old for this shit. Oh, and Anthony Michael Hall has definitely seen better days. That's all.
