    Yeah I would say almost everything they release divides fans to some degree, but I haven't seen a word of negativity regarding these.

    drillkicker said it was "the worst thing sam & ron have ever done" or something

    Has drillkicker ever had anything positive to say?

  2. Seems to be a fairly prominent sample in old school hip-hop, perhaps already common knowledge, but 6:33 in this:

    is at 0:23 (and throughout) in this:

    Little easier to tell it's the same sample in something like this (0:27):

    I pay 2200/16/8 = $17.1875

     

    lol

    Ha well I might more like street price for just an eighth. Obviously buying larger bags is the way to go!

    In that case, I pay $15.23 lol

    Haha well damn, guess we know who's smoking everyone up at the ae show

    I would not be thrilled if I got sold an eighth that looked like that haha. Just out of curiosity, what does everyone pay for an eighth of dank? Here in MN they go for $50-60, 45 if you got that friend price!

  5. Yeah I too have somehow managed to sleep on this one! I probably saw people on here talking about it and just assumed they were referring to the original. But sick! Glad I finally get a chance to. Only, why is the DL only at 192??? Not that I mind THAT much, but I can legitimately hear some differences in clarity between 192 & 320. 320 vs. lossless on the other hand, no fucking way. My ears can't tell the difference,

  6. I've smoked weed everyday for the past 5 or 6 years (with intermittent breaks for pre-employment drug screenings, tolerance breaks, etc.) I love it. It makes me happy, relaxed, friendly, inquisitive, creative, appreciative of nature and art, and generally levelheaded.

     

    It does not make me:

    Depressed, angry, violent, anxious, physically impaired, unmotivated, alienated, regretful, hungover, a danger on the road, or addicted.

     

    In my time habitually smoking I've also earned a bachelor's degree, landed a nice job in my field that I love, dieted and exercised my way into the best shape of my life, worked toward my artistic and musical ambitions, maintained healthy personal relationships, and laughed my ass off the whole way.

     

    And yet if I get caught with over an ounce on me I could go to jail. America is a strange place.

  7. Yeah, but everything that's good about Twin Peaks is done 100x better in Lynch's films afterwards.

     

    And I said NES, not SNES. And Mario Kart is shit Wipeout is better.

    People in today's current gaming generation are just spoiled. They can't handle legitimately difficult games from the NES era. Nowadays you have constant checkpoints, unlimited lives, endless health pickups (if it doesnt automatically refill for you by sitting still) and requires little to no practice in order to beat a game. Throw a modern day CoD player a copy of the original Ninja Gaiden and watch them rage quit in the first 5 minutes. They just can't handle truly punishing gameplay.

     

    But, I digress. Twin Peaks is the shit and I can't wait to see what Lynch does with the new series.

  8. Entirely unrelated, but Backdoor.Ranky.S from Analord 11 reminds me a lot of this:

    Many late nights struggling through terrifying dark caves on my NES got this ingrained deep into my subconscious. Kind of creepy too, every time you went down a level deeper into the cave the music slowed down and got one step lower. If you were in a long enough dungeon it would get to sound like this:

    highly doubt BOC has anything near the amount of unreleased tracks as these guys

     

     

     

    unless they're lying in their interviews, BoC have been making music basically full-time since the late 1980s ... they lived in a commune (for most of this time) and made a ridiculous amount of music. i'd guess they have roughly as much stuff as RDJ.

     

    and even if they have less, i'm guessing it's higher quality than a lot of this Aphex soundcloud stuff ... I worked through most of it today and obviously 2/3rds of the tracks are crap (which is fine, that still leaves ~100 quality tracks; thanks Richard!).

    i find that incredibly hard to believe, and I've read those claims in the interviews. It's true though that when i first read it about Richard I doubted it too, so i guess anythings possible. Im curious to hear some of their early live recordings, I remember reading they would do these epic psychedelic rock jams with drum solos. Sort of ironic that pretty much entire sub genres of music later appeared which were essentially people putting a psychedelic alt-rock spin on the BOC aesthetic

    Any examples on the psychedelic BOC alt rock?

    Black Moth Super Rainbow springs to mind off the bat.

  10.  

    he did but its sort of a widely held 'belief' among comedians that Carlin's work for the last 10 years became essentially rehashes of not only his earlier work but pretty typical 'non-pc' reactionary stuff (that people like Dennis Leary after stealing Bill Hicks act already turned into an almost self parody). people who consider him a genius usually look to his actual standup comedy from the first 2/3rds of his career, not as much his later bitter lectures (when a lot of them feel like he was just phoning in)

    Yeah this is kind of what i wanted to say. He could be funny as fuck, but his material got tiresome in his later years.

    Oh I disagree entirely. I think his material just got better and better as he aged. His really early, less cynical stuff I think hasn't aged nearly as well. But overall I'm in the "Carlin is God" camp. Seen all his specials, read all his books, only regret having never seen him live. I think for me the main appeal is just his brutal honesty about life in America. Even today, a lot of people might say they agree with him, but you never hear people just lay it all down as hard and unabashedly as he did, particularly on religion. Everybody is just so terrified of being quoted saying something politically incorrect now. Carlin clearly did not give a shit what anybody thought about his words. The man lived entirely outside of society, but stayed on the sidelines, spectating and critizing. A true comedic genius.
