  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    Hm, I'm in a bit of a pickle.
    I was in a meeting with my best clients. The stuff I do for them is so much fun.

    We were chit-chatting and they mentioned that there was more stuff around the corner and they would tell me more at a later point. I then opened my mouth and without thinking said, "Let me know if you ever need a full time sound designer". They went quiet, looked at each other, and after a couple of seconds one of them said, "hm... interesting...".

    Fuck. Why did I say that? I didn't even consider what I was saying and I didn't consider how they would react. The team lead is already checking up on if it's possible to hire me and I don't think I want this.
    Even though it's tough as fuck being a freelancer - especially since having a kid - I still love it. I hope this doesn't work out, haha. Fuck.

    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.

    teslas killing in similar (higher) numbers than the infamous Ford Pinto. Pinto was recalled i think. basically ford cheaped out on putting a part between the bumper and the gas tank so if a Pinto was rear ended it would catch fire/explode. an inexpensive part.. a piece of metal that shielded the gas tank was added after the recall. but ford knew about it for ages and didn't do a recall. but it was a long time ago and i forget about the details. it's probably more complicated than my memory. 

    https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-deaths

    Fun Fact: Teslas have killed over twice as many people as the exploding Ford Pinto did at a roughly similar level of sales. the Pinto sold ~3 million units & killed at least 27 people. Tesla is now creeping up on 5 million total vehicles & 95 deaths from battery fires or autopilot crashes.

    American Fiction, i was a bit slow to the party on this one, loved it, great to see Jefffey Wright nail the lead role on his first big such film, kudos, best comedy I've seen in a good long while although it's not a genre of film I watch too often any more

    decent film that provided a few chuckles. Jeffery Wright is indeed a good actor but I enjoyed the affable but unscrupulous literary agent the most. Thought the white characters were completely broad and unserious, which I took to be a sort of not-so-subtle inversion of cinema's long racist history of black roles being dehumanized and existing as negative stereotypes (or the "magical negro" ofc) That is a fine directorial decision, but it sort of ruined the otherwise sensitive and nuanced feel of the film and unintentionally less funny.

     

    Keith David remains a king, my other thought.

    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.

    they've been reissuing a few of the side projects on vinyl recently, Acid Horse & Pailhead come to mind

    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.

    Listened to Ministry's Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Taste and Psalm 69 a few weeks ago. They still sound great to these ears. Might give Filth Pig another spin but I never really vibed with that one.

    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?

  8. 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.

    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”.

    I was planning on going to this but I had a social anxiety freak out at the time and being at the Standard with the cool kids was too much. Still wish I’d gone. 

    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.

    Finished Slow Horses season 3. Still great, though the comedy side of things may of got slightly too silly at times, verging on the ridiculous. However I still think it's the best thing I've watched in ages. 

    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 .

    when i see this new trailer, it just seems completely senseless. it makes me feel like our culture is so degraded. there is nothing compelling about this remake, no reason for it to exist. throwing post malone or fka twigs into the mix just accentuates its emptiness compared to the original where the music was born from the book's creation. the original experience had depth and relevance. how can this remake do anything like that? it's just gonna be another reboot that can't hold a candle to the original. and our culture is awash with this kind of thing, just worse versions of experiences we've already had. so much endless reproduction, replication. it's maddening. 

    i realize this might come across as old man back in my day type stuff. i will say i do not think the 90s was some pinnacle of pop culture or anything. and i have not seen the original crow in decades so i'm not speaking to its significance as a work of art per se. more as an original pop cultural artwork with layers of comic, film, music. but i absolutely think contemporary culture is really crude and degenerate and this obsession with remakes and rebuying the same "content" that just fils space in a senseless way is quite depressing. 

    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. 

  13. Watched the first half of Oppenheimer. Wtf? I thought this was supposed to be a good movie. It’s like someone sat down and said “I want to make a movie where the viewer feels nothing for any of the characters and everyone’s dialogue is interchange because nobody will speak how people actually speak… and I want them to think ‘Wow. Some snarky writer wrote a pretty witty line. Cool.’ after everything everybody says.”

    It also feels like they shot the script and it felt like a really boring soap opera in the edit so they added a bunch of swirling stars an particles every 5 minutes so that it would feel a bit more arty and experimental. 
     

    edit 

    Finished it last night. The second half was worse. :facepalm:

    I seriously can’t imagine anyone ever choosing to watch this movie more than once and it’s probably gonna win best picture.

    This one became my definitive version when it was out there. All the tracks (and more) in tippedytoppedy dark and dank quality

    Dang! After following your link I realized that Richard writes track descriptions for some of the songs on his website. Pretty cool. 

  15. Just finished Killers of the Flower Moon. It was better than I expected, largely because I had been told by a couple people it wasn’t good. I thought it was possibly Scorsese’s best since Wolf of Wall Street, though not as good as that one.  Lots of really great production design and phenomenal casting, especially for the bit parts.
