  1. I made the mistake of responding to a "wave" on facebook to someone I... might not know, and they followed it up with "how are you?" I don't have time for this bullshit.
  2. My city has no trains. ? My old school colon/bracket frowny face was usurped by an emoticon.
  3. D'awwwww... can you imagine being sexually brutalized by that lil fella? Adorable.
  4. The way Gahan's voice consistently breaks in the chorus of Strangelove is a good example of the cool thing his voice does that Gore's doesn't. But in every other way Gore's the better singer. Controversial thing: I think roast meat of any kind is crap, unless it's covered in sauce/spice of of some kind - and not just some thin layer of brown sugar that gets absorbed by less than 2mm of animal flesh, nor gravy. Roast ham, roast turkey, roast beef, roast chicken - all crap in and of themselves. Those animals died for nothing. Put it in a sandwich and maybe it'll become passable.
  5. They do a brief meet 'n' greet with the prospective jury members in front of everybody who's called upon. So all you have to do to avoid official selection is behave/respond in a way that's questionable. The one guy I knew who got called up did just that. He acted completely confused when they addressed him, and then muttered "ah to hell with it" to himself before responding proper. He got a firm "no" from the attorney. I was quite impressed with how he manipulated the situation. He did not previously strike me as the sort of person who would do that so skillfully. Strange guy.
  6. ... Gore's voice is too smooth for the grittier deliveries tho... that's the only area where he really needs Gahan to step in. What does Gahan do when Martin sings lead, anyway? Always wondered that. Martin sings lead on like half of that Black Celebration album.
  7. Martin Gore has exceptional control, a unique vibratto, perfect pitch, and really connects with whatever he's singing on an emotional level (or at least sounds like he does). Gahan has a little bit less of all those things, though is still a remarkable vocalist. He just happens to be in a band with that one in a mil person who's even better. Kind of crazy to think about. He must be pretty humble to let go of the reigns for lead vocal duty. He clearly could be doing it all (vocals in addition to songwriting).
  8. I got facebooked by this nice lady who seems to really care about my needs, but I'm worried she might be insincere. I think she could be "the one" but idk
  9. I think Martin Gore is a better singer than Dave Gahan.
  10. Just had a few sips of my first moka pot coffee after 2 weeks + of being away from home. I forgot coffee was supposed to be this satisfying. Fuck Tim Hortons/Better Crocker/Folgers forever. That one cafe in Montreal with the excellent Americano may live. Holy shit this is a good cup of coffee.
  11. I was stoked when I got jury duty. Thought it would be really interesting. Unfortunately i was not one of the dozen who got selected (there was a group of what seemed like maybe a hundred people all waiting around to see if they'd be selected... seemed pointless to have us all there really. Why not just call the actual dozen with a few potential stand-ins?)
  12. I would visit whatever city that is just to use that bathroom. So much convenience.
  13. ....album listening loses. Put on Coil's Unreleased Themes for Hellraiser - can't believe how corny this shit is. No wonder it got the ax. Were they taking the piss? I mean, the Coil/Hellraiser combo should have been amazing, if it were even remotely close to the material Coil had released up until that point. /smh
  14. I'd like to see a top 10 list of the most illegible metal band logos. That green scribble's got to be pretty high up there.
  15. I was hoping to unwind with some music so that sleeping could commence, but then some stranger started messaging me on okcupid and I feel obliged to keep the dialogue going... which will kill the album listen/unwind combo. Ah fuck it, their responses are slow af. Album listening wins.
  16. Had a bit of a coffee conundrum. I'm staying at a friend's place, which has one of those Betty Crocker drip coffee machines where you pour water into the back and it does all the things. Today I decided to make double the usual, since my friend's gone all day and I'll be here for a while. Well... I forgot that the carafe was not underneath the dripper, flipped it on, and fucked off. Came back to the kitchen: COFFEE EVERYWHERE. Also - no paper towels. So I'm using stupid amounts of toilet paper to sop it up. Yep. I'm good.
  17. What the hell is that supposed to be if not a dick? Presumably the artist had something else in mind, but I can't see another logical interpretation of it.
  18. Sweet - thanks for the rec! Yeah this is definitely up my alley (20 minutes in). Pretty much any industrial music from Vancouver is going to be good, seems to be the rule. I like that they use the vocals very sparingly - allows me to get better immersed in the mechanized dystopian goodness.
