  1. Wounded orangutan seen using plant as medicine Before after https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-68942123
  2. Aphex Twin - Syro Alvvays - Alvvays Alvvays - Antisocialites Alvvays - Blue Rev Ryuchi Sakamoto - Async Dungen - Allas Sak Dungen - Häxan Wolves In The Throne Room - Celestite Ty Segall - Manipulator Belle and Sebastian - Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance Man, looking at this, you’d think I was on a different forum. if you were talking eps, it’d be almost all jungle … if it was the last 11 years Ceephax - Cro Magnox of Montreal - young froth / taypiss My Bloody Valentine - mbv but those 3 were on CONSTANT repeat
  3. Watch. The interview will be with some rando and the vinyl will have tracks from the SoundCloud dump.
  4. Hey All! I had this vision for a while and finally made this thing. I've attached the file so people can download and print it out or whatever. I'm not much of a capitalist so that's why haven't put it on etsy or whatever (plus I obviously down't have the rights to do so). Maybe I'll try to get a custom plastic one made, we'll see. Feel free to rip and share. ALSO, If you end up getting a decal or plastic sign made, please share pics and how you did it.
  5. Jesus Christ. That cnn footage at the end of @Nebraska’s link was intense. That dude was pretty prolific, as well as deeply troubled/confused. I don’t think I believe that we were all brainwashed by Matt Groening, James L Brooks and the simpsons but I could be wrong.
  6. The Kennedys endorse Biden, not their family member RFK Jr. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/18/1245530551/kennedy-family-endorse-biden-not-rfk
  7. I feel you, dude. Freelancing for a good client has the perfect balance of commitment/non-commitment. You never have to worry about being “fired” and things getting more uncomfortable than them finding someone else. However, full time is full time. Benefits can be great. But they own you.
  8. I really wanted to like this one. I thought the concept of the movie was brilliant (not a spoiler: black author having trouble selling his intellectual brand of fiction anonymously hate-writes a book based on white-guilt-fed “urban” stereotypes and fails up to massive acclaim, sorta a la The Producers, but unintentionally defying his own act of heart-felt protest) but the whole thing felt a bit loose in execution. Lots of unlikable characters in general except for his criminally underdeveloped female love interest. Granted, I’m also not normally a big Jeffrey Wright fan.
  9. Sorry, I was referring to Ian MacKaye (pailhead) as Mr Straight Edge.
  10. That partnership has always been one of the more surprising ones I can imagine. To be a fly on the wall with Uncle Al and Mr “Straight Edge” himself. I could be wrong but I highly doubt they remained buddies afterwards.
  11. LORAH and TMIATTTT are both classics. To me they almost feel like parts one and two of a double album. Consistent wall to wall bangers. this one slaps the hardest… In Case You Didn’t Feel Like Showing Up is also probably my favorite live album of all time of any band. You really feel the vibes so hard and everything is as tight as can be, considering that it’s all made by a bunch of tripping junkies. I think that tour may also have been the genesis of pigface?
  12. Listening to High On Fire’s Art of Self Defense album for the 500th time today. Damn damn damn. What an album! Shit slaps as much as it did 24 YEARS AGO! So many stinky grooves for a metal record. Stoner classic gold. Gotta bump the bass way up on these bad boys.
  13. RIP BTW, I loved that movie when I was a little kid. We used to put hotdogs in the microwave and when they split open we would eat them and call them “Drac Food”.
  14. Oh man. Sorry to hear that. I hear what you’re saying about the standard. Usually that is the case but luckily, nobody there was that cool… except Andy. If you are at a ceephax gig in America, you’re probably a massive music nerd.
  15. Thanks! I’ve been waiting for the wattm seal of approval on this one before digging in. Looks like it could be a good one. I’m a sucker for Japanese anything. Hopefully it lives up to this cultural high water mark .
  16. my wife sent me this video. It is a bit “well duh” but also a good reminder of how we can all get stuck in our heads… and should feel ok to not give fucks sometimes. I should maybe read the RR book.
  17. 100% additionally, I watch that trailer and think “why do we need more films about alienated young males killing tons of people?” because IT IS AN ACTUAL, VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM IN AMERICAN SOCIETY. All we need is another film that will provide a tangible fantasy that will resonate with someone who is teetering on causing harm. Yes, it’s a slipperyish slope to say “artists need to create and we shouldn’t censor them because of our fears, etc” but this is definitely not that. It’s a fuuuuucking remake cash grab. What good can come out from such a tasteless cocktail? I also remember how the first crow resonated with pre-emo male youth. As far as my memory goes, that was ground zero for the “trenchcoat mafia” phenomenon. As a matter of fact, wasn’t that film the singular inspiration for the all black trench coat on millions of sullen teenagers? It was basically: the crow came out > a handful of kids who already wore black on a daily basis came to school wearing black trench coats the following Monday. Like you, I am finding myself sounding like an old fart right now, but at the time, I was technically a gen-xer who identified more with the punk rock / heavy metal brand of nihilism so in 1994, even as a teenager, I could actually identify the younger kids (probably within the first crop of millennials) having a strong resonance with the themes in the crow and knowing that it was manifesting in a deeper reflection of their tortured identities and pre/proto-columbine nihilism. Add late-stage capitalism and it’s fairly objective that this whole fucking thing is the crystallization of our society in free fall.
