 | Avagantamos i'm glad at least someone checked out techdog after seeing my comment! techdog 4 was my personal favorite, but maybe that's just me being a total nerd for IDM. what kept you from rankit it as highly as other parts in the series?
|
 | Ryus sounds good thx fam
|
 | AsleepInTheBack Nah though thank you for reminding me! Can you resend me them somehow I can?t remember where you rec?d them. Techdog is lovely so far. On number 3 today. Gonna try do the full set over the next 5ish days.
|
 | hal1ax ayyyy thanks bro i am bookmarking it as we speak. ill circle back soon!
|
 | ThyCrossAwaits s*** it?s like we?re playing shoutbox telephone lol. Sorry mate, just been busy as **** moving everything around. We?ll find a time to meet up for sure, I?m gonna be a permanent resident so
|
| ThyCrossAwaits Sup brother, I rented an AirBnB in Brooklyn Center while I finalize stuff for my new place.
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell So if you inspect the text box for the entry you want to bust while on the edit page, you should be able to find the character limit (ctrlF "1000" if you're stuck). Replace with number of your choice, ctrlS continue. this once you've got it to work lol
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Heya, so you're gonna need to screw with the developer console - do you have discord?
|
 | SomeCallMeTim Hmm, I haven?t yet. The LP collection list I most recently made was my first attempt at it and it worked out fine. Maybe try clearing cache/cookies/whatnot and trying from another browser
|
 | brainmelter oh yea that?s the hardest part/most time consuming, good luck and take your time obvi ? very nice channel balance rating, I?m going to jam that one again tonight
|
| SomeCallMeTim check the URL Ghandi sent me in my shout box for how to make lists over 101
|
| brainmelter to wait long for the new one. I think they announced their last album like 7 months in advance lmao
|
| brainmelter hell yea finally! ill keep an eye out for it, or you can just tell me when you done lol. new ulcerate song is good of course! It sounds like they are still doing the more melodic approach, I was hoping for something more particular/disticnt from theproduction but thats hopeful wishing because theyre not ones to be drastically changing their sound from album to album. besides especially when it comes to ulcerate the singles are always better in context of album. I?m just happy we dont have
|
| brainmelter and are you still going to make this ultra 2023 list you?ve mentioned iirc or has your endeavor become to daunting at this point? lol
|
| brainmelter You are truly wild if you go thru with it lmao, that?s too tedious. bro you and I should just collab on a whole new project instead.. you play the styrofoam and I?ll jam the bubble wrap
|
| brainmelter 1. I?m not going to buy 5 boxes to make a box album2. Even if I wanted to I don?t have that kind of time lmaoand thanks :] I?m surprised I got promoted with the little reviews I have
|
| hal1ax yea lol that was prob a super vague request. ill just make sure to check your 2023 list when it pops up!!
|
| SomeCallMeTim in my noise list you rec'd me a Viodre album, anywhere or any platform I can find that on?
|
| SomeCallMeTim LOL. welp, I listened to it. totally understood why you hate it. I didn't like it, but it shares a list with TOTAL XANARCHY which was pioneering in that it significantly pressed the bar closer to the earth's core
|
| SomeCallMeTim how high do I need to be for this Polly Bradfield album
|
| hal1ax thanks bro, and yea im all about the recs. shoot over whatever you have on rotation. ill do the same!
|
| brainmelter heya I think I gave you a follow on BC? and I?ll check that one next! and lol it?s really a soft 3 but its just not it for me. Also on the box album, I only heard the sample track but curious how the rest of it sounds. I really like the diy aesthetic and spirit of it. I also think the possibility of contributing to another box album if you purchase this one is equally funny and endearing lol
|
| hal1ax oh that's awesome, congrats on the place//job. i've been the opposite as far as music goes lol. i was bendering on new sh1t in 2022-2022 and slowed way down in 23'. trying to pick things back up though to sate whatever random music cravings ive been having lately. and im in an MBA program concentrating in date science. ive been working in healthcare for a while on the programming / operational side but got pretty over it recently and decided being more of a reclusive data hermit was more my vibe
|
| brainmelter yoo nice Taku Unami 5 you got there. Le box
|
| brainmelter ooooo so I have heard him before.. I checked the album and the production is definitely interesting. the flies buzzing on cum outside kind of has this weird reverb-y dread to it. His flow and cadence over the beats are another layer of oddity on top of it all that is cool. thanks for putting me on him, ill check some of his other stuff 4sure. my free time as of late has been consumed by Tekken heh. are you on bandcamp?
|
| hal1ax hey there!! i know, it's been forever. how are you? you been listening to any good new music? and im pretty well. ive been preoccupied with grad school for the last year or so but still finding time to listen to and occasionally rate music lol.
|
| brainmelter YO ALSO, I almost forgot. Efflu just released a physical version of their last one (CD and Tape) and it has a bonus track!
|
| brainmelter I dont want to overwhelm you with 24? stuff now, you?ll get to it later
|
| brainmelter huh sir e.u. I haven?t heard of that but will check. He has two albums out in 23? which one you referring to? I see he is also on bandcamp! I actually just got back on Spotify after being off of it since August of last year(I let it expire for no particular reason) And hell yea man your list is going to be amazing, specially since youve been holding off this long. Ive actually found a lot cool stuff after making my list that I would have def included ;__;
|
| brainmelter thanks dude (: yea its a hard artist /release to talk about lol. I felt I really needed to do it justice because there is barely anything written about Efflu online. but anyways~ this year has been pretty solid so far release-wise.. what have you been jamming?
|
| brainmelter I actually used some of our talking points in the write up heh
|
| brainmelter sorry for the delayed reply friend, been busy. yes makeshift crematorium did go into some weird places, I remember songs like Embarrassment of Riches omitting the guitars completely and going buck wild with tapping bass. but then yea.. the follow up was disappointing lol. I was going to write a lil sound off for the new Effluence because after hearing it a bunch more I realized it was peak and a little words turned into a lot and I ended up s***ting out a review
|
 | Havey yup, hope to see it on your year-end list then!
|
| Havey definitely prefer keeping it simple and not listing the collaborators: they're already encompassed by the name anyway, because if i'm not mistaken the plus sign essentially means "and others"
|
| brainmelter Effluence since the beginning, have been experimental first, metal second. And I can?t see the two previous bands mentioned ever getting close to the parameters of what Effluence have progressed to. Tldr Effluence is next lvl and they make me excited for the future of extreme music like no other
|
| brainmelter yea I?m honestly hopelessly obsessed with this artist, the music never fails to put the dopiest smile on my face! Psychocephalic Spawning is still my favorite because the particular combination of brutal death metal and free-metal have never been done more perfectly than on that release imo. Effluence is the most interesting even amongst their peers, bands like Encenathrakh and Trichomoniasis (while great) I feel are locked in and can only do so much with what they have if that makes any sense.
|
| brainmelter I absolutely adore it though, truly otherworldly. I was thinking of writing up something for it but I have a feeling we?ll see a full length later this year from Effluence (this is supposedly work recorded before Liquified, so like 2021-2022) so I?ll prob give that a write up if anything
|
| brainmelter oh yea that last track is so harrowing. I think it?s the darkest track by Effluence yet and that?s seriously saying something .. it sounds like a mind unraveling and that sample looping ?I let the devil in my house? and then it ends with a gunshot.. like damn lmao
|
| brainmelter that was me, idk why it came out like that lmao. sputnik music dot com amirite
|
 | henlo fellow free-death enjoyer! new Effluence babi https://effluence666.bandcamp.com/album/destructive-transfixed-incorporeality
|
| AsleepInTheBack Will do! I tend to overcommit with these rec month things, so suspect I won?t get around to checking additional recs like yours until 2024 (assuming that?s when I stop with the monthly format) but fear not when I next want NOISE ima go to your suggestions first.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Lol you inspired me to throw down a few words on blurred in my mirror while it was on my mind - stuck it up on the front page just now
|
 | SandwichBubble Hey, sorry I got Tujiko Noriko's Ud. Didn't know it would our ratings on it too.
|
| hal1ax surprised u disliked Grim that much man. and good mariah / artery eruption rates
|
 | platnum KOTO is closer to tradition j-pop but more energetic than most with some bit pop undertones
|
| platnum good point but it is a shame there is soo many intriguing moments that can easily be missed on first listen, oh well, can't win em all. c: and yes i've always had a sort of soft spot for trade off gang vocals. if you're ever looking for similar sounding pop music maybe check MOSAIC.WAV and IOSYS but be warned their album covers are even more weebified lol you would probably like KOTO as well
|
| platnum Its a bit of a grower and certainly a lot more frantic than traditional j-pop, i can def see your point. I'm glad you seem to be enjoying it so much though, a lot of the time it doesn't seem like the type of thing that would vibe with like 90% of the user base. a while back brainmelter straight out told me it sucks lol.
|
| platnum whoaow, you actually like dempagumi that much? :3
|
| hal1ax yo new organ tapes is rly good. some pretty minimal, very dejected trap --- https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bpTacg2OWcQIn_hpZILbRCD6L6vjF3Pq --- also if u like Uli k i uploaded his Elusivo ep, cuz it's kind of hard to find as it's not on slsk and costs like 8 dollars on BC --- https://drive.google.com/open?id=13p4R7AU0T9MqpEDmFTSDnTmz2ENjiAvq
|
| hal1ax lol ya best buy is sort of getting in the way of me 4ing it
|
| hal1ax Lmao. Sach and I were talking about that too. Best Buy is a fcking joke. Also I feel like Cherry Bracelets should be better but for some reason its just not very good.
|
| hal1ax Redlight moments , D925 and Gatekeeper are so good
|
| hal1ax oh also, i bought the new bladee tape. here is a dload --- https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zPiAYQc9tUUSZDSdGjtD-cRvVQRJWaj7
|
| hal1ax yea this is pretty nice. i'm usually pretty amenable to these minimal synth pieces. gotta be in the mood for it tho. this is p good tho i can dig
|
| hal1ax i knooo man. this came out on xmas. not really sure how i feel about it yet --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DJKVu8oA8s
|
| hal1ax https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK7mddSRsmY
|
| hal1ax check Much to my Demise man
|
| hal1ax ah yea there are some amazing collab pieces out there, particularly in the eai / free improv domain. have u listened to any of lescalleet's solo stuff? i really like him.
|
| hal1ax yea man i've heard 2 lambkin / lescalleet records. photographs and the breadwinner. they're both awesome. umm i don't think i've heard any of lambkin's solo stuff tho. should i check???
|
| hal1ax haha dude this is awesome. um i would say drone / field recordings / tape music .. maybe a tinge of concrete in there as well, kind of hard to say. i like it though. how did u find it?
|
| hal1ax ayyy watchu been listening to lately
|
 | slamlord since you've made a mission of droning my taste, bump this: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=178774
|
| hal1ax https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH9ateVuWcI
|
| hal1ax yea np. should be in the db under bladee x ecco x thaiboy as well
|
| hal1ax ayy cool. i'm glad you like em man. uli and ecco are both amazinggg. have u heard the new drain gang compilation from this year? has some rly good bladee / ecco / thaiboy digital. i bought it and uploaded to Gdrive. here it is if interested (listen to GT-R by ecco. it's so good!) --- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-nykaDPbH-YRC10d0d0NXg2UTQ
|
| hal1ax ima connect u with some singles i rly rly like in the bladee-esque sphere --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He-lTfKG_Mw --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb1TKnwUyrY --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr5vieDG428 --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1drR-fLvds --- tell me what u think!!! they're all in our db
|
| hal1ax sort of like freudian dream content in a way -- like u have the manifest content, which is what's actually taking place in the dream, and then the latent content, which is the symbolism//representation of that which is taking place.
|
| hal1ax yes visual noise, absolutely. i like stuff like that a lot. there is a dualism about it too. there's its face-value aesthetic, just assessing the composition itself, and then there's this sort of subterranean call to the viscera and the unconscious. like there have been abstract pieces that have made me straight up cry before.. and i couldn't even tell u why. and ahh cubism is pretty cool. tbh i haven't been drawn to a lot of it but the one u linked me was phenomenal
|
| hal1ax yea abstract art is really interesting to me. i find the psychological implications sort of fascinating too. like how someone can become to emotionally evoked and invested in some jumbled up maelstrom of colors and shapes... like it almost taps into something primal and subconscious. and omg i love that last one u sent... what is that style called?
|
| hal1ax ya idk where some of that abstract art comes from. must just be very visceral. i don't imagine much thought or premeditation goes into it lol. i could be wrong tho
|
| hal1ax yea subtlety is just so important. otherwise, to an extent, u are removing the viewers ability to view in his/her own context, through his/her own filter.. you're almost throwing a veil over their eyes insofar as their ability to perceive and interpret is contaminated.
|
| hal1ax eh idk the first one just wasn't interesting at all to me. the other two are really nice tho. i need to delve deeper into abstract expressionism for sure. so far i think expressionism is my fav style but there's still a ton i have yet to check
|
| hal1ax ahhhh ok very interesting. hmm, i don't rly like the first one at all, but like the second one a bit (the moose-esque one) and looove the painting. tbh i;m more into paintings (but i'm sort of an art pleb tbh). u prob know a lot more than i do about that stuff. damn now i'm interested in quarrying more into physical art stuff. i rly don't like stuff that's trying to hoist some sort of deliberate message over my head tho. like the really didactical ones u know.. like LOOK INEQUALITY
|
 | butcherboy accomplished might be too grand a way of putting it, but yea, i'd love to give it a read..
|
| hal1ax eh yea i hear yuh. i'm sorta in the same boat. and yea it's prob my fav sutcliffe record. and hahaha. that's sweet ! a blue cock
|
| hal1ax that victim as beauty rate is a thing of beautyyyyyy haha
|
 | nocuffin i'd say a 4 just because it made my computer freeze after ~an hour the first time i set it goin
|
| hal1ax The art convo? Hell yea.
|
| hal1ax new PE my homie showed me last week. it's good --- https://contradictiontapes.bandcamp.com/album/aggression-principle
|
 | BlushfulHippocrene That's very fair, mate, I understand. Let me know if you ever change your mind, but I look forward to reading your stories regardless. (:
|
| hal1ax i think kiss is like 6 different recordings compiled into two long tracks, yea. and yea phlegm back is pretty breathtaking. just sumptuous and enthralling. somehow it manages to stay really interesting throughout its entire duration. pe records can often sound pretty homogenous
|
| hal1ax Haha hell yaaaaaaa. Atta boyy
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Hey Spencer, do you use discord? Connor (Conmaniac) has this server for writers, for people to hang out and help each other with their reviews and stuff. It's kinda a general writing place, so I'm sure they'd look at your fiction-based stuff, too. But yeah, let me know if you're interested and I'll send you a link/invite, it's completely cool if not, though.
|
| hal1ax sickkk. ya u prob know way more about visual art than i do. i've only rly been into for the last few years. trying to learn more tho
|
| hal1ax yea man Redon has been really connecting with me lately. what types of art do u typically enjoy?
|
| hal1ax ohhh wait sry i meant neo-expressionism. yea it's basically abstract, modern expressionism, yea. i don't know a ton about it either but i've been getting into it lately. https://www.wikiart.org/en/artists-by-art-movement/neo-expressionism /// and as for format, mostly just online lol. but luckily i live in LA and frequent museums as much as i can. prob once every 2 weeks.
|
| hal1ax na lets move onto the art convo haha. i've actually been super binging on visual art lately. been really into post-expressionism and symbolism stuff. Odilon Redon is so incredible ugh
|
| hal1ax Haha naw u were being more open than I. Yea the gut-wrenching thing was a bit too much pathos , not enough logos--perhaps too dramatic haha. I've just had so many awful encounters with people in my life who just tout political buzzwords at me , presuming to know my life based on my color-affiliation to the power structure. It was a good convo tho. I totally see ur point and think it's mostly true. Thanks.
|
| hal1ax but ya sry for the hyperbolic tirade lol. some of this stuff hits a nerve or two
|
| hal1ax i mean i understand what u are saying and can stipulate to it for the most part, sure. i'm just trying to expound how i haven't felt any of these privileges and i'm sure there are other ppl like me out there so.. i would prefer it ppl didn't act like 100% of white's in this country experience this.
|
| hal1ax like the people who write these things forget that sometimes poor white ppl live in minority neighborhoods and it's fcking hell. but ya it's cool i guess i'm livin lavishly or something
|
| hal1ax has benefited me. like sharing ethnicity with the power structure somehow helps me in life. maybe it does for a lot of people but it didn't help me... in fact it made things worse for me. look i don't really care about this. these claims are prob mostly true, but it irritates me when ppl act like they're axiomatically true for every white person.
|
| hal1ax so then we are privileged based on association? so my whiteness is associated with the power structure then, and i don't have to deal with faulty, bigoted perceptions like minorities do.. how do u know this? i grew up in south LA, went to USC,.. i was a minority in my neighborhood and at school my entire life. i've been called all sorts of horrendous things for being white.. doing exactly what u are doing right now. ppl have associated me to the white ppl who run the country like it somehow ..
|
| hal1ax i can go thru and give rejoinders point-by-point. i would have to do it in a word doc tho and upload it to Gdrive cuz this is very cumbersome
|
| hal1ax and i think most ppl are already aware of the white-skew in politics, and the fact that minorities on average struggle much more. but when u incessantly see this white privilege thing on tv and in the paper and at school, i think it can sometimes alienate and seem unfair to white people who have not been the benefactors of such privileges.. the only problem i have is with the blanket claim. i will agree that the large majority of white's are more privileged..
|
| hal1ax it is radical to paint an entire group of people as privileged based on their skin. it is absolutely radical. and how else am i supposed to perceive these claims other than thru the lens of my experiences? should i discard them and looks at this externally? the fact is, i don't agree with most of the supporting claims in the article, or they haven't applied to my life. but i need to accept them so as to let others in? i don't understand.
|
| hal1ax what? i'm aware it's typically easier to be white in this country but that doesn't justify assigning "white privilege" to every white person. why can't privilege be assessed individually? what do white people dominating the political sphere in this country have to do with my privileges? my problem isn't with the fact that white's generally have it easier, it's with this sweeping generalization that all white's have it easier. it simply isn't true. it's basically social marxism
|
| hal1ax i will stipulate that MOST white people are more privileged than are minorities... but i will absolutely not capitulate to these sweeping, absolutist claims. they are so illusory and counter-productive it's unreal.
|
| hal1ax nearly every claim is false or misrepresented. the entire thing reeks of out-of-touch white, guilty, well-off liberals who have never experienced poverty in white neighborhoods. this sh1t sickens me. take a tour of low-socio-economic areas in rural middle america and tell me these people are more privileged than african-american's who grew up in Manhattan with parents who are doctors and lawyers.
|
| hal1ax it isn't empirical. it backs it's claims up with either partial truths or conjectural anecdotes. you can't possibly think that coloring an entire ethnicity of people as privileged by dint of their pigment is correct? how does that help assuage racial tension in this country. it's myopic because it doesn't view the panoramic image of this country. i am speaking from experience... my life is a living refutation of that entire article. it's propagandized nonsense meant to foment racial tension.
|
| hal1ax lol i'm sorry but that article is a joke. it isn't the least bit empirical and is rife with misguided presumptions, blanket claims, and a smoldering, yuppy metropolitan bias that is actually gut-wrenchingly myopic and faulty. every claim made in it is either subjective or equivocal or eminently false.
|
| hal1ax oh i forgot a few of my favs actually -- marc chagall , marianne von werefkin , anselm kiefer
|
| hal1ax and yea by munche i mean edvard munche, the norwegian expressionist painter who did the scream. expressionism is prob my fav style in visual art.. from what i've seen anyway. there are many styles i'm still unaware of
|
| hal1ax ensor holds a special place in my heart. prob the first artist i ever rly connected with. his work is so ... mordant and freakish and fiendishly sarcastic and grim. basically everything looks like a joke but a very sick and disturbing joke--a joke that isn't very funny. as far as surrealists go, i like: duchamp , dali , tanguy , ernst .. eh and i'm forgetting i few but those are the main ones in visual art. i like a few surrealist writers as well.
|
| hal1ax stuff outside of music? hmm, i'm trying to get more into film tbh, i know a bit but not much. i really like philosophy and psychology. those are prob my fav things aside from music. as far as art goes i like a lot of gothic stuff, lots of charcoal sketch stuff. i like som renaissance stuff, some byzantine, some impressionist stuff, surrealist, uhh grim / morose stuff like Munche , uhh.. oh i love James Ensor too.
|
| hal1ax hehe yea i know what u mean. ya it's a super niche, esoteric movement man. i mean, i think a lot more people could potentially like noise but, as you know (or are finding out) it takes persistence and assiduousness. a connection to this music burgeons from usually morbid curiosity or interest in the beginning, and if people are willing to nurture and cultivate that curiosity, it can end up in adoration but it's a process. it's very acquired... like u have to work for it hehe. v rewarding tho
|
| hal1ax fck ya man. well said. it really is just a faceless melange. and it is so exhilarating ... and it doesn't try to be overtly clamorous or bombastic. just a maelstrom
|
| hal1ax lol ampersand's don't work in shoutboxes. it's a bug
|
| hal1ax hell yea good to hear. just takes time and exposure. and yea check more whitehouse. they have several good records. birdseed / mummy and daddy / erector / great white death / new britain
|
| hal1ax ya knees and bones is good and distress signals II is rly good as well (compilation). uhh yea it was the first noise album i fell in love with. very compelling and enlivening and riveting. one of those records that can kind of feel like a strewn hodgepodge but somehow when it's over it feels so coalescent and oddly nebulous. it's honestly leagues beyond their other stuff imo
|
| hal1ax haha ya some pretty hilarious titles
|
| hal1ax lol ya same here man. love that severe disconnect rate too. u listen to any whitehouse? also i see u have listened to some controlled bleeding but haven't yet heard their best work! i included it in my upload links. phlegm bag is a masterpiece
|
| hal1ax and yea i'm not rly into the synthy PE stuff except for atrax. oh check this as well. harsh noise that goessss --- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-nykaDPbH-YOWs1Y0NLcnVENWs
|
| hal1ax haha why would i mind? scour away bruh. i've discovered lots of new shi since i made those lists tho so when u find something u rly like hmu and i'll try to match that sort of style with newly acquired stuff
|
| hal1ax ehh i may be the wrong person to ask. i've never rly liked genocide organ. i've listened to their first 3 and didn't like any of them. Psychology of Love by Alberich is rly good tho
|
| hal1ax ya atrax is cool. italian synth-laden noise. more akin to the german stuff. if u like atrax u prob would enjoy some alberich and genocide organ as well
|
| hal1ax i understand it can feel awkward or uncomfortable sometimes though. that's normal. i used to get nauseous when listening to the track on whitehouse birdseed that is just a re-recording of rapists and rape victims espousing their explicit and grim experiences. at this point i'm desensitized to it enough where i can listen to it without getting queasy (although it's still bothersome) but now i've built the tolerance to appreciate it for what it is: provocative. to feel important negative emotions.
|
| hal1ax lol no i don't rly care about ur rates, i was being facetious. and that's sort of the point of PE. to piss you off or repulse you or make you feel unsettled. it's intrinsically provocative. the racist stuff doesn't bother me, just as the sexist stuff doesn't just as the rape stuff doesn't. it's just music, a medium, an art form. you're allowed to listen to and appreciate something for what it is and how it affects u without being a devotee of the cause
|
| hal1ax i will be needing feedback

|
| hal1ax Yo sh1t I ended up being super busy today sry. Tmrw I'll upload u a few records via google drive.
|
| hal1ax totally agree. im gonna have to give u a few more recs after work today.
|
| hal1ax hell yea man sever disconnect one of my favs. it's just a dense, pummeling miasma. love how belligerent it is too. and sick i'm glad u liked sister iodine! it's pretty interesting indeed. kinda angular and dissonant. i'll have to point u toward another few prime jamz on that list tmrw morning. and fck u gotta make your way over to Strict one of these days haha... it is the pinnacle.
|
| hal1ax the first 60 seconds of kiss are nuts haha. it is sublime.
|
| hal1ax haha. yea it's one of my all time favs tbh.. it is so fcking loud and caustic. vocals are perfection.. yea it's incredible. strict - kiss is prob my single fav piece of PE though. it's one of the most abrasive things i've ever heard. sends shivers down my spine.
|
| hal1ax that machismo rate :[[ if u give severe disconnect anything less than a 4 im gonna fck u up
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Yes, I thought the present tense was incredibly effective. Will give you some more feedback, probably this Friday, having to read quite a bit for Literature the next couple weeks. Your last couple reviews have been killer, btw. Do you mind if I call you by your first name on here?
|
| hal1ax ohhh yes: Taint (US)~Misogynist Lust // Machismo~Bodies In Perfection // Scatmother~Purulent Sublimity // Bagman~Welcome To My ****ing Misery // Deathkey~Totenkopf // Magmax~Magmagenome // SHIFT (PE)~Altamont Rising //
|
| hal1ax haha. yea ... desensitization is in order. there is much worse out there. but yea the victim as beauty is best imo.
|
| hal1ax hehe yea as you mentioned before, at a certain point, for the avid, ravenous music goer, the typical musical precepts can sometimes turn stale and as a result, the eccentric and unorthodox and outlandish can be the antidote. and hell yea sutcliffe ! listen to the victim as beauty next. i think it's maybe a tad better than 'when pornography... '
|
| BlushfulHippocrene ...some criticism if you like. That was a short and very, very sweet read, and I look forward to re-reading it.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Mate, The Given Away was fantastic... Just got to it, but as soon as the girl approaches him I was glued, and the bandana man was extremely fascinating. I think it concludes perfectly, too, that blunt acceptance feels tragic but real, and I love that line about the main character's masochism. Felt so snapped back to reality by the man in the ticket box, too. All of the story's elements work incredibly well, I'm not too sure what else to say. I'll definitely read this one again and give you...
|
| hal1ax But I started out with death industrial and then gradually eeked over to the more bellicose stuff. Ramleh's hole in the heart popped my cherry
|
| hal1ax hmm. i don't think it had anything to do with mindset tbh. just... became desensitized i suppose. i think once you pass the initial shock and bemusement , it becomes more permeable
|
| hal1ax exactly man. fck yea. doin the lords work nowwww. i like how provocative it is. it seems odd but i am sometimes very attracted to music that is capable of evoking negative feelings and emotionality, disgust, anger, angst, melancholy, malaise, pain, etc etc. too much art is vapid and impotent. good noise music can be extremely affecting and i love it
|
| hal1ax but maybe i misunderstood u idk. i get feeling like u need to acclimate to something before diving in too deep tho
|
| hal1ax got it for yuh actually --- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0eIXikgt-xCdzV0X0ZUZENRcHM
|
| hal1ax hmm i'm actually not super familiar with labels. i just did a lot of scouring rym lists//charts and doing research on certain artists. and yea constriction is pretty awesome. this is my all time fav piece of PE tho http://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=193080
|
| hal1ax check this PE bro. it's only 8min long in full --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUgY0AmWgbw
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Oh, sweet! Gonna see if I can read it tonight, thanks. And a master of production indeed... She makes the most familiar sounds seem foreign. Dunno how it took me so long to listen to her, I hear her influence in a lot of my favourite artists.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene You mean when I asked what you were reviewing? Nope ! I don't think I even knew what it was when I asked, haha.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Fantastic to hear, mate, and looking forward to those write-ups. What are you covering? Hoping to review the new Waxahatchee and billy woods myself. And been doing well, thanks for asking. (:
|
 | Relinquished it all depends on my mood, the material, and how much I'd like to retain what I'm reading. for example: I listen along to philosophy readings, cook books in the kitchen, non-fiction, and basic factoids. all especially since I know many records and what fits the moods of what I'm reading to. other than those instances I too like to read in silence. in cases of stories and fiction, since they create their own atmospheres and worlds, I can't just appropriate any record to them.
|
| Relinquished cool! I thoughts it was a really solid record but not one I'd return to outside of reading tunes.
|
 | Sniff Super rad dudes keeping the minimal scene alive where i'm from. Glad you dig even though it's not entirely what you asked for ;)
|
| hal1ax Ayyy np np. They have a pretty consistently good discog. Glad u liekk
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Haha, I'm not even sure what it is for me. I do this to IRL friends, too. Longer I wait to respond to something, the less likely I'm going to respond; it's never I don't want to respond, so it's really just a bad habit. Like, your conversation's always interesting, so there's no good reason. :P Just focusing on school, to be honest. Been looking for work, and hanging out with this girl that I really like; university's a lot more intellectually fulfilling, too. And I'm watching The Office. :x
|
| BlushfulHippocrene No problem, man; if I give it another read, I'll most certainly make sure to take some notes on it. :] And can't wait, actually pretty excited to hear what you've got. And you proud of it? Dude, listening to the first song, Equality and Death, and it's damn good. Hopefully the rest of the album keeps up the energy. I understand, dude, I hope things get better soon, but I'm glad you managed to finish that story. Is it something you're going to be sharing do you think?
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Sorry man, whatever thoughts I had about Neighborhood (except for that I liked it a lot) have kinda dissipated, it's been a while. How's it going? Sorry for the slow responses, too, I think that's just a bad habit I've gotten into. :P Have you given the new Angles 9 a listen? What's it like? :]
|
 | EliteTaste i'm not being rude to you lol i'm just doing that thing where i make ambiguous posts without context lol "_:)
|
| EliteTaste i'm sach man, i comment sometimes to try and alleviate the constant feeling that i want to die
|
| hal1ax i would honestly have to go back and listen to it again to give u a thorough answer. i just listened to it once and i think i remember it just being flimsy and insubstantial and wasn't super thrilled with the sound in general. ill give it another listen today after work and give u a proper answer
|
| BlushfulHippocrene You kinda inspire me to write more. And I think there are times in life where things can become a bit stagnant, or even a slow a painful comedown, but in most cases, things'll start to fall into place. It's all time and effort. You can't see what's coming, but the chances that's it's good are optimistic.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene All our problems are first world problems, but if it matters to you, then it definitely matters. You'll get through it, though, mate. You deserve to. :] Whoa, that'd be amazing if I could see something from that EP. Dude, and I'd be so excited to be able to read a novel from you in a few years... Have you worked much with much long-form before? Are these short stories practice since you said you're most accustomed to poetry? Knowing your past work, I know it's accomplishable.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene International Relations. (: I'm most passionate about Literature I think, and it's what I find most interesting. But I also have a passion for Law and IR, so I figure it'll be alright to give up English for the sake of being practical. Yeah, that's the problem... What sort of thing do you want to be doing in around a decade? Do you know yet? I'm so unsure. :P
|
| BlushfulHippocrene I can't imagine that. You seem good, though, so keep it up. You're doing well. How's the writing going? Are you still going down the fiction route at this point? How's the blogspot picking up, mate? Do you write a lot of music? And I get that, Facebook's very rarely a good distraction. You realise after a while things would be better without it, I might try getting rid of it, too. :P
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Hi man, happy March. How are you going? Just started uni and been writing a lot more. :] I really want to study English and Literature,but I'm doing IR and transferring into Law/IR next year. I do have a Lit elective though, so that's been cool. Been listening to Injuries and I'm liking it a lot. Probably in the 3.5-4 range for me right now. Cheers for the rec.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Thank you so much for all of the recommendations, man, I'll be sure to check them out. :3 Excellent review as usual, too. :] It sounds like a fun record, I might give it a shot though I'm unfamiliar with the genre.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Would you mind recommending me some jazz in the vein of perhaps Fire! Orchestra, or something similar? I like Niechec, too. If you have any, that is.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Understandable, man. Can't wait to see some more reviews on this one. :] How's it going?
