Yup, we're reading it right now. I don't mind, because I like the story, however, part of me wishes we had gone with something not as well know. Just because I, and many others, have read it before and I just like reading different things. Ah, tis but a non issue.
Also today in class I overheard two girls talking about Germany and one of them mentioned the former East Germany and the latter replied, "oh, that's the one who hates us, right?" Where the fuck have you been since 1989, holy shit
just got back from a night of djent bands weirdly bookended by a friend's band (much more straight prog metal than any of them) and an alright metalcore-ish band who nevertheless sounded as though they'd walked out of 2004
one of the acts had a singer who is supposedly a member of the BNP which must be pretty awkward considering theres also an indian guy in the band
Anon: Yeah, I dunno. Maybe they didn't submitting them because I worked less then what I agreed to (because there were no labs for me) or it was a bungled error.
How does that make you a hipster? I thought walking around in cargo shorts, a thundercats/transformers/etc t-shirt and a fucking fedora made you a hipster (synonymous with goon (synonymous with redditor))
Hipster is a totally meaningless term anymore.
I mean, you can make it mean quite a few things, but no one agrees on what it means anymore.
Unrelated: Bought Transformers: Fall of Cybertron today. Played it a bit, tad more scripted than the first game but it's pretty good. Plus, y'know, robots, lasers. The good stuff.
re: local bands, I have a friend named Mark who has been in four bands in as many years (Dynastic Fire, Skycanopy, Serpent Landing, and The Templemen) and none of them have ever recorded anything.
I don't feel so strongly about it as I once did, but "hipster" always kind of bugged me, because it seemed like a pejorative that mainly existed to pigeonhole people and dismiss anything they might say or do. Same with "chav" actually.
doppelganger is a really startlingly consistent album, all of the songs are very very good. i would actually say fcpremix is one of the lesser songs on that album
I really don't care at all about people who review music on youtube. I never even see or, for that matter, know of the existence of them or their wacky shenanigans.
I don't mean any of the "big name" (as big a name as one can be in the field of....online media critics) people like that Todd guy or whatever, just random people who think that other people care about their insistence that Earl Sweatshirt is totally ripping off MF DOOM, and that this is somehow relevant to the latter's latest album.
oh yeah. fcpremix is still a great song with an amazing hook and very good verse riff, but then again i get that 'with a black heart undercover...' part of macauley stuck in my head all the time. the whole album is a brilliant balancing of spaz-out time signature-bending warp speed guitar work and insanely, insanely catchy hooks, and somehow the quality is consistently amazing over the whole album. one of my favourite proggy albums, doppelganger.
it's made all the more remarkable when you consider that thomas erak wrote FCP, mouths like sidewinder missiles, the album opener and whacko jacko when he was 17 years old
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: "Dr. Pepper" means "cough syrup."

It's kind of depressing.

I really, really hate all the self-important people who do reviews of indie rap albums on youtube.
I just want to spam NO1CURR in the comments, but that would require giving them the time of day.

Apparently "mojo" is Japanese slang meaning something along the lines of "creepy virgin girl".
The things you learn reading obscure manga.
If you're ever at a Wegman's, I recommend our Coca-Cola ripoff, it's actually pretty good. Also the Wedge sodas, especially the grapefruit flavor.
Stay away from our Dr. Pepper stuff though, shit tastes like cough syrup.
