  • Imagine your standard memetic dance song ("Party Rock Anthem", "Gangnam Style", whatever) but replace all of the charm and funniness of the people in those songs with a pair of cartoonishly misogynistic fratboys who actually think they have a rapping career, and you're in the general ballpark.

    Hearing them be dissed is literally the only reason to buy the Flobots' second album.

    Pair of singing bird pistols handcrafted by Frères Rochat, 1820.

    Handcrafted by Frères Rochat, a Swiss watch maker who specialized in creating clockwork automatons who worked out of Geneva.  Each of the pistols are encrusted with diamonds and other precious gems and inlaid in gold, silver, and platinum.  Utilizing a complex clockwork mechanism, the user wound it with a key and cocked the hammers.  When the trigger is pulled a bird popped out of the muzzle, dancing, singing, and flapping its wings until the mechanism powered down. 

    Only four other examples of singing bird pistols are known to exist, and these are the only matching pair in the world.  The pistols were put up for auction by Christies, Hong Kong, on May 30th, 2011.  A fierce bidding war developed between two passionate collectors, lasting for over ten minutes.  When the smoke cleared, the pistols were sold for $5.8 million.

  • Brokencyde, better than 303

    yeah

    I won't say my stance on that issue
  • I think the most horrible thing about Brokencyde is that they had the nerve to name themselves in tribute to The Pharcyde.

    I would so use these.
  • 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."

    When it comes straight out of the can, it seems to be better in cooking than it is by itself. Kinda like coconut milk.

    I mostly drank it because it was almost empty and I didn't want it to go to waste. The result was kind of a derp moment.

    Evaporated milk tastes much like regular milk if you follow the instructions on the side of the can and then properly refrigerate it.

    Like I said in my last-second edit, it was straight out of the can. That's more than likely not following the instructions.

    Yeah it's pretty gross-tasting like that

    In other words, context.

    Also, I tried removing the link to embed it.

    Now, now, let's not start a fight over this.

    I try to put the video URL into the source code if it's not embedding properly. It usually works.

    Personally, I find the Song of Healing to be more melancholy than scary.

    When it's reversed, it's a little eerie, but mostly because it's very alien-sounding.
  • edited 2012-10-21 22:10:24

    what is the song of healing.

    it's a shock video of goatse interspersed with 2 girls 1 cup while handel's water music plays in the background

  • in case you were wondering what the worst sound in the universe was.
  • I don't believe you.

    But anyway.

    "This is more than a tidal wave. It is more than an avalanche. It is here. Now, that is where the problem is...We are going to bleed and bleed and hemorrhage, unless this Congress at least protects one industry that is able to retrieve a surplus balance of trade and whose total future depends on its protection from the savagery and the ravages of this machine."

    This quote is about VCR recorders.

    More seriously, it's from Zelda, which I know you're not a huge fan of.

    For context, it's sorta the theme song of a mysterious and somewhat creepy traveling salesman who's trying to recover a mask with the spirit of an evil god. In the game, you can play this song on your magical instrument to heal tormented souls. For some reason, this turns them into masks that turn you into that person when you put them on.

    hehe I remember this story

    funnily enough, I went to school that day and wore the crown all day without a hitch, despite its nebulous dress code status (they banned hats). Must've been cuz it was my birthday or something, or the fact that it didn't actually, yknow, cover my head.

    Back when I was in high school, seniors were allowed to wear Burger King crowns during homecoming week. I think there was also an event in the spring semester when they were allowed, but I can't remember what it was.

    wow so there's an entire underground culture with these burger king crowns

    sounds like the perfect seed to sow conspiracy

    I need to revisit this store.

    Last time I was there (July of this year) they seemed to be in the starting stages of remodeling it, and I find myself wondering how it's coming along.

    (Note in that photoset it still has its original 1996 freezers, I imagine they've replaced those by now)

    I need to get some Halloweeny avatars ready
  • ATM I'm working on some Raster Norton-y ambient glitch, and that's going pretty great, sounds pretty abstract and whatnot.


    But then i have these 3by3 style power electronics/dubstep tunes as well.
