Alcofribas

i just listened to this for the first time. pretty good.

omlol, how can i even reply to these posts?

oh thank god, obel, some one who gets me. ).(fribas

wtf? who wrote that last post??

i dunno, just seems like really amateur writing to me. sure, thinking it's a glitch could be a totally believable scenario in a good writer's hands. but the way it was portrayed just seemed completely ridiculous. they just got to this planet a few hours ago ffs. and now two dudes are lost in an alien cave while a super alien storm rages outside but they've got just one guy monitoring them and he's getting pissed and playing music and then after he sees indication that a life form is in the cave he's just like "nah, gotta be a glitch" and then bangs charlize theron??? i mean, yeah, that's what i would do but that's why i'm not a fucking captain of intergalactic spaceship destined for alien planets.

not an online recommendation but i would highly recommend julian young's recent biography of nietzsche. it's a great read and young writes a sympathetic and moving portrait of the man infused with his philosophy (young has published two excellent monographs on nietzsche's philosophy of art and religion). there's also a companion website with recordings of nietzsche's musical compositions which should probably be the basis of a watmm compilation.

lol, that joke genuinely never occurred to me!

Ok, sorry for the delay but at first i wrote an entire review about a legowelt album before i realized it wasn't even autechre at all. sean had to pm me and point this out. (i submit all my reviews to him before i post them so he can make any suggestions. actually, he basically wrote the entire oversteps review since i was in a bad mood that day.) first track starts off sweet, it's like stockhausen for 4 seconds. then my custom gameboy ringtone kicks in. can't believe ae made gameboy songs! wait, that's actually the album. lush. but then this just noodles with half-finished basslines and beep bops and stuff that i don't care about. i fucking hate electronica. the second track has this really cool beat. but here's the problem: it has lyrics. now this was fine on oversteps but there's something really wrong with lyrics like this: "have you ever" by bobby brown [rob brown] Smoked a penis? Cokes a dog? Drunk a drum beam in a firehouse hose? Cooled a chic with manly finess? Then took the trip to the little boy's space? Jewed a lawyer with a dollar campaign? Soiled an undy? Spoiled his complaints? *** seriously? that's fucked up! but the beat is wicked, kinda sounds like a wolf, pitched down really low so it sounds like a black guy on reverse helium, having a fight with a laundry bin inside a tunnel. pretty scary actually. mostly because i'm kinda afraid of wolves and black guys.ultimate fear: a wolf riding on a black guy's shoulders while hearing this song. the third piece is weird. so at first i'm just sitting in my condo jacking off. in the background candles are lit, they smell like jasmine. a stick of incense burns, also jasmine. i'm alone except for my pictures of the 'chre bros. in the oven is a heart shaped red velvet cake, uncooked. the oven is set to 1 degree. when it is done cooking, i will cum. i read two poems. the first is by me and it reads: *** (untitlted) *** like a jeweled opera in the penny lotus position i do anoint thee while kisses and fairy blushes all from the meat loins of my cloth are cut with a crisp pair of blades by a tailor in the womb *** as this poem is not enough, the second is in order. first i drink down a glass of wine, a mixture of both colors of wine. i call it "pink wine." it's delicious going down and i look forward to smelling it coming out (sounds weird but isn't). next, the second poem. somewhat longer in length. it is called Bambook Revolution born to kill, kill to born. Police attest to 101 dalmations. out of the smoldering ash of corpses come the corps of the New Age... and then they all drifted silently in the river ganges, the river thames, the euphrates and the easy-to-spell-M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I the whole race of corpses like brush down stream, lovers and enemies sittin in a tree D-Y-I-N-G; first cums love then comes marriage then comes death in an orphan's carriage wee wee wee all the way home. **** this poem aeffects me greatly and i have to blow out the candle. even then i am still quite worked up so i turn off my record player and put the legowelt back on which is comforting since i just heard it and reviewed it earlier. i decide it's probably not a good idea to listen to this part ever again. after a while i put on side three, the final side of the LP edition of lego feet. there simply isn't a fourth side which is strange. you flip over the vinyl and then you have nothing in your hand. fucking mental. the final piece. i'm excited, if not too excited. here's what it sounds like to these ears: 909 toms. they're playing along pretty good with a spring reverb going on too. stoked for what comes next. then it's really cool because you can hear them fade in the next part; an interesting technique. the next part is the kick. it's like, lower in frequency with a "thumping" "boom" kinda sounds. like a bass drum. sounds like when a big heavy thing hits the ground but wickider. then comes in a pad. or a bass. i can't tell. honestly, i don't know the difference. i think a bass is monophonic but a pad is a chord. lush. i couldn't figure out the next part but sean says it's "high hats" which i'm assuming just means they were stoned when they made this weird higher up sound on the 16th notes. the next sound litteraly sounds like farting. not sure what to make of it. a sample from brian eno's "an ending (ascent)" comes in and the whole piece gets emotional and i'm crying a lot at this point. i'm feeling nostalgia for a past that never was. i'm feeling nostalgia for the future. it's fucked. it feels sad, but warm and comforting. everything sounds so familiar and new at the same time -- nostalgia for the unknown. lush! then comes some other stuff, not sure how to describe it. some signature ae sounds: a balls and marbles dropped on the floor, a ghostly voice, weird modem sounds at a variety of pitches, 4/4 signatures that sound like 17/9. you can tell they hang out with rdj but still have their own sound. finally, i don't feel like listening till the end and turn off the music only to realize all along i only listened to the first song. it's 4 seconds. fml 10/10

*preorders*

haha

ha! now that's a reading of this film i can appreciate. I work TWO retail jobs, would love some giant squid presence in both of them. CUSTOMER: Do you sell [insert item from your retail job]? EMPLOYEE: *opens sliding door* CUSTOMER: *impregnated* Scott: BRILLIANT. BOSS: *enters* ME: *sends alien species to boss' planet of origin to eradicate entire species* SCOTT: dude, you need to get a better job

Lindelof: you do realize i'm not really a writer...buuut we can just make a trite movie, use our huge budget on sets and fx, get some celebs up in this, sprinkle in deep questions like "where do we come from?" or maybe "who created our creator?" toss in at least one abortion scene and people will eat this shit up and we'll be rich as fuck? Scott: BRILLIANT!

is that the thing with the apple logo on it??? i feel like whenever i don't recognize rack equipment it ends up being really expensive compressors and what not.

da suppa zole!

"purposefully anti-climactic and overdone," "masterfully disappointing" zole

does any one recognize any of those nice things in clark's studio?

HOLY SHIT, check this out: Prometheus, Alien, Aliens

quick questions: are there films that cannot be read as sexual allegories? what exactly is gained by pointing to a snake-like thing going down some one's throat and saying it looks like a dick? now that we said something looks like a dick in a film it's a sexual allegory?

so, any time something in this ("masterpiece") film is really stupid it was meant to be stupid to like show how stupid stuff is and stuff. and whenever there's like a penisy thing than it's like allegorical and stuff about sex and gays and stuff. basically, all of the trite, asinine b.s. in this movie is like a "quote" from another, much better film or an "allegory," or "archetype" of mankind and his foolish ways. also, phallus. *jots it down*

i care too much for baph to keep reading this thread

asymm that's exactly how i picture you listening to kraftwerk as a kid, yo!
