I agree with you by and large that what passes for "conservative" ideology these days is deplorable and wretched. And the GOP can go eat their own asses They'd like you to think it so, but the left ("liberal" ideology) and Democrats are not the same. And even if they're an order or orders of magnitude more shit than republicans, they're still shit. The fuck have they done for working ppl economically in the past 40 years? They're bought and paid for, just by a different groups of rich people and the bet-hedging M-I complex. If you want to see Democrat shittiness in all it's glory please come take a visit to my home state (RI). They're a hypermajority, entrenched in power, and run the state like a racket.

Republicans being pieces of shit and dems being pieces of shit are not mutually exclusive. Establishment dems don't like the twitter files because it exposes their seedy behavior also. Remember that piece of shit Debbie Wassername Shultz, you know, the one who railroaded Bernie on Hillary's behalf and loves to play the stock market on the inside? Seeing her with knives out for Taibbi at the hearing was a thing to behold. MSNBC carries all the water they can fit on their backs for the DNC. Both political parties in this country are basically RICOs.

No idea it devolved into this before tripping thru the acid house wormhole in this thread... lordy. Could've sworn just a few years ago the musics were mostly just live sets from a smattering of artists with fanbois into the tape-sharing scene. I'm about halfway thru reading Ficciones at this very moment (a $4 used paperback mind u), so I'm guessing a coincidence like this was inevitable - You can't just hold out another 18-24 months?

flol That the venue is (Big Tiddy / Prince Mothy Moth) Moth club

TBH I believe yr chasing the white whale. I gave into the whole phone-is-my-portable-audio a while ago now when foobar became available for Android. Best no-nonsense music app by a long way.

FINALLY April 7 yasss

I'm convinced a lot of the backlash has to do with Pitchfork successfully co-opting TH in the 00s, holding him up as a bastion to say "here, this is where electronic ambient IS AT," pulling him into their echo chamber, all the while having fuck all.biz to be arbiters of any technos whatsoever. Then the machine becomes self-aware that it's a Pitchfork darling and suddenly the art get watered down in a broth of based-deer/hoof-hunters and sufjan stevens flacid penis in lana del rays mouth while lil wayne watches & jerks off in the corner This post made Chris Clark look up from a hooker's ass, face full of coke

No thanks Rep the mans right!

P sure no human has yet to prove (by ABX) that they can discern between a 16 and 24 bit encoding of an identical source/reference. I'm happy to be proven wrong, because that's the idea. Sorry for your "loss"

i used to like these guys but the clownsmanship is too next level. please do not patronize this establishment watmm friends

I know a couple peeps IRL who know / know of Autechre. First was a kinda socially awkward but nice record collector guy that despite the aforementioned I often found myself in social situations with, and we'd eventually get talking about electronic music. I recall he told me he had the plain gold-cover LP by Aw Tek Ray and I was like cool I like that one too. I've been playing drums in a somewhat established local post-punk-art-noise-dance project for about two years now, and not one but two (2) bandmates familiar with Autechre. Our synth player is very much into Aphex, couldn't name another rephlex artist and doesn't like the 'chre for reasons you can easily imagine, but he's a few years younger so I cut him some slack. Our bassist is older and makes experimental electronica on his own with a pretty awesome array of analog and digital shit to programs and knob twiddle. He's quite good at it and it's impossible that he doesn't derive some influence from them, I mentioned the reverb on one track really reminded me of Oversteps and he was like yeah I like Aw Tek Rah. Anyway I'm doing my part by regularly blasting Warp Tapes (or the AMKS_1 skratchathon) TFO the whip at max vol whilst cruising the greater Providence-metro area.

Imagine someone questioning your 'chre fandom bona-fides IRL, and being able to pull one of those badbois out of your bullwallet. As for tees I wish they'd go minimal and make (re-make?) the one that's just the iconic æ front-center. A Draft tee w/ no Draft artwork seems a bit daft. More like Daft 7.30 amirite? Were you able to contain it, and are you safe?

And lo, apparently just this past Dec 27 they put up a 29-track release called "Solid State Compendium," which appears to be collected remixes, compilation trax, one-offs, &c. https://phoenecia.bandcamp.com/album/solid-state-compendium Not sure if this flew under the WATMM radar (or just mine), but whoa.

I get what they're trying to do, I just wished they'd kept the original artwork, and dunno, maybe put these new interpretations on the back cover or inner sleeve or summat. Seriously y would you fuck with this? If you check out the one they did for Harnessed the Storm, you might change your mind

Holy shiiiet I was gawdawnest caning this as I read your post (It's ackschually Physics N' Tricks - Meridian (Remarc Remix)))

Please tell me you understand how this works.

Nah makes sense totally, Confield is just the deepest of 'chre dives and (IMO) one really needs to be in a certain headspace to appreciates it. I went w/ Chaistic cuz it's where it all "clicked," yadayada, &c. and it's a close second favorite to LP5 which if you look behind you is busting thru the fucking drywall. And Nvane. key nell m88s. The bros squeezed the entire heat death of the universe into the 2nd half, mental

This page is brutalist danke, d-sho, qub

I don't like them either, but have gradually accepted them as a necessary evil in knockout competitions when there has to be a winner. If they've slugged it out for 120+ minutes and there's still no winner, then yeah the reward for both teams is a complete crapshoot. The psyops, nerves and dumb luck of it all is amusing in a way. Ordinary league football has draws (ties) which are IMO a completely acceptable outcome, esp. when nowadays for league table (standings) both teams come away with only 1/3 of the spoils rather than splitting it. I'm old enough to remember when the NHL had ties. They'd play a 5 minute OT and neither team would try since they'd both be satisfied taking the point.
