Thank GOD for Comic Sans

 

[Axver]

Why had I not listened to Streetcleaner by Godflesh before today?

 

[Reggo]

It's like you're speaking a foreign language when you talk about music of late, Axver, man. I have no idea what you're saying.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Axver's becoming so obscure that he's listening to albums that haven't ever been made.

 

[Axver]

Uh, Streetcleaner is the album that practically invented industrial metal. It's not obscure in the slightest.

Godflesh is the band Justin K. Broadrick was in before Jesu, too.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Industrial metal? Wowee.

I hope they play in steelworks factories.

 

[Axver]

Underground industrial metal: gigs in coal mines.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Who needs dump trucks when underground industrial metal can move the earth!

 

[Alisaura]

Maybe we can just have a playlist exchange without it turning into a competition.

I could be interested in this. I can't play the whole ratings game.

Underground industrial metal: gigs in coal mines.

Yay!

I like some of these albums.

 

[bono_212]

Also, I can't believe anyone in this thread hasn't heard Doolittle.

 

[Axver]

You have no idea how many years I've been meaning to get around to it.

 

[Alisaura]

Also, I can't believe anyone in this thread hasn't heard Doolittle.

I'm afraid I must profess complete ignorance of this.

 

[cobl04]

I've heard it. I just couldn't buy into the whole talking-to-animals thing.

 

[Reggo]

That joke was so lame, it killed itself mid-sentence.

I'm not 100% sure I have the whole album of Doolittle. I know I have random DI tracks. Let me consult the Almighty iPod.

Nope, I don't have Doolittle. Got a couple other Pixies albums. i wonder how that one slipped through.

 

[Alisaura]

Ye gods... there was a fluff item on the WIN news about two Galapagos tortoises who are having a marital spat after 115 years of being together, and both the local news reader and the American syndicated story called them turtles.

 

[bono_212]

As much as Bonnie, Travis and I talk about Doolittle, this news takes me by surprise.

 

[Reggo]

Ashley, ask traviud why random people from Maryland are calling me at 11 goddamn 30 at night, when I had finally just gotten to sleep.

 

[LemonMelon]

Uh, Streetcleaner is the album that practically invented industrial metal. It's not obscure in the slightest.

Duh!

 

[LemonMelon]

Ashley, ask traviud why random people from Maryland are calling me at 11 goddamn 30 at night, when I had finally just gotten to sleep.

My parents still check up on my friends.

 

[Axver]

So I'm listening to melodic death metal from the Maldives.

 

[Reggo]

My parents still check up on my friends.

Well, calling me at 11:30 (which would be 1:30 Am their time) is not the proper time for such a call. I'd be happy to discuss things with them during regular business hours.

 

[IWasBored]

I still want to unleash my Metal DI just to see the reactions ... not sure I ever will though.

I will probably like it.

Um, I think I'm in the wrong thread.

 

[Axver]

I will probably like it.

Um, I think I'm in the wrong thread.

I'd consider it an achievement if just one person listened to it in full. Cobbler's reaction will be priceless.

And this is always the right thread! Or was once. Or something.

 

[bono_212]

I like Radiohead. I think I'm safe admitting that in here.

 

[Reggo]

iDub was here!

I like Radiohead, too. I'm glad I finally decided to give them a chance. I was missing out on some great musics.

 

[Axver]

Think I found the exciting new-to-me release I was looking for a couple of weeks ago when I was feeling a bit musically listless.

Medicine. Shot Forth Self Living.

Fucking heavy shoegaze. Kind of like The Telescopes stole My Bloody Valentine's gear and decided to predict A Place To Bury Strangers.

Also, I finally bought a distortion pedal yesterday. Cranking it up and playing our bass through it and the phaser is just so much of wonderful. Great, just what I needed when I really need to focus on my research and writing.

Ya I only post on this site from the iPad app anymore (which is why I now type with capital letters since it's too much work to tell the keyboard not to auto do that for me), and I accidentally hit some button that put me in this thread, which as I was reading it seemed pretty much identical to random music, minus laz plus axver. That was actually where i thought I was posting, til I posted and saw it wasn't. Although its terribly hard to find with Carek constantly spamming every single thought/smell/taste/sight she has in the 90million other threads in this area. I blame twitter for making people think that others really want to know that stuff. Wtf. This is why I do not have Facebook.

 

[Alisaura]

You made the right decision, there... I sometimes wish I had the courage to un-facebook myself, but I am tangled tight. I think leaving FB is the modern equivalent of becoming a hermit.

 

[IWasBored]

E-hermit.
