  • Random thought of the evening: "Luvstory" by 500won Project is a great song for when you need music to fall asleep to. There is just enough going on to keep it interesting as you're listening and fading in and out of consciousness, but the repetitive main riff is just hypnotic enough to relax you and make it easier to sleep.


  • I was pointing at Naney's post, but I would like to add that were one to comment on "farm emo," Wovenhand would be a perfect example.

    Ah.
  • does anyone ever get that feeling where, like, you want to post in a thread

    because it is interesting to you, and you wish to make this known

    and then you wonder why and realize you have nothing intelligent or meaningful to contribute

    Yeah, much more often than I'd like to. And I already mentally filter post of my posts anyway, since about 75% of the time, I'll start writing a post and end up deleting it because I think what I'd written is stupid and not worth being said.

    Court, Lark's Tongues, Starless and Red are all musts.  Lizard is also great, tho often overlooked; i've heard it called challenging but it really isn't if you keep in mind that they originally set out to play jazz-rock.

    i wouldn't say KC really have difficult albums so much as difficult individual tracks ("Providence" on Red is arguably one such track, for instance).  The live albums (which i'm afraid i don't know nearly as well as the studio albums) tend to feature more in the way of freeform improvisation; THRaKaTTaK is a good example.  Of the later studio albums with Adrian Belew, Thrak is nice because it contains a fairly even mix of memorable songs and experimental instrumental pieces.

    actually if you like their more experimental stuff the albums the various Projeckts recorded might be the place to start

    i'm not sure if they're actually 'more difficult', but they're certainly the last thing i'd ordinarily recommend as an introduction, while by no means bad albums, which has to mean something

     This wasn't aimed at me (since I wasn't here when this discussion took place anyway, but thanks for the recommendations. I've been meaning to delve further into King Crimson's Discography for awhile.

    power metal is very silly in a good way, even if it is not my thing

    Pretty much how I feel about the genre.

    and JZ's avatar is from a KC album cover

    this is called "synchronicity" or maybe just "coincidence" to more grounded peoples

    y'know I tried watching Red Dwarf once a long time ago

    couldn't get into it

    Huh. Personally, it's one of my favorite TV shows of all time, right up there with Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and The Prisoner(I still need to finish that show).
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Then again, TV in general hasn't ever been my thing very much.

    red dwarf is one of the few tv shows i care about now
  • The sadness will last forever.
    that and american horror story

    Isn't really for me either. The only thing I watch nowadays on mainstream TV is educational stuff (mostly on deep space stuff) and occasionally watching the TV series Castle with my dad.

    most of TV is so boring

  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Castle was decent, I remember.

    I am currently staying somewhere with TV, but I basically never turn it on, save for occasionally checking PBS and MSNBC or getting shanghaied into watching Jeopardy.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    PBS is really the only channel worth watching.
  • Castle was decent, I remember.

    Yeah, it's more enjoyable to me than most crime drama/murder mystery shows, but that's not really saying much.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    PBS! PBS! PBS!

    It's my favorite TV channel.

    There is a modicum of wit to it, a self-awareness if you will. Also Nathan Fillion.

    Yeah, that petty much sums up why I enjoy it.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Castle is an ABC Inc property

    But really it does look more fun than most of CBS's procedurals; my mother likes it

    Buzzcocks or Boredoms.

    The eternal question.
  • Apparently Sonic Youth and Yamantaka Eye collaborated on an EP. I did not know that until just now. I'll have to make a note to see if I can find it.
  • it's 3am and no one will speak to me again whee whee wheeee

    I guess I should go to bed.

    it isn't 3 am *yet* though for you :D

    Yep.

    I have heard it.

    It is... random.

    Oh dear. Please do not say that...

    Sleep well, Mojave.

    ten minutes til. Small difference.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    Disasters can happen in under 10 minutes. ;)
  • I would argue that most can't? I mean, most disasters require something to happen to cause them to occur, and be that shifting of tectonic plates in case of an earthquake or someone making a stupid comment in case of a political PR disaster it usually takes more than ten minutes for a disaster to "occur" fully, but that depends on when you count the start of the disaster at.

    I am a fucking maroon.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    You are correct about the first part.

    I doubt the second.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    I can think of:

    -a vehicle crash, especially a plane
    -a building collapse
    -an accidental explosion
    -a machine gun massacre
    -a nuclear bomb exploding
    -a volcanic eruption (maybe?) idk
  • I can think of:

    -a vehicle crash, especially a plane

    that requires some kind of flaw to exist in the vehicle and furthermore, for the vehicle to be started and moving first.

    -a building collapse

    Same general idea really. A building must be built before it can fall.

    -an accidental explosion

    Vague.

    -a machine gun massacre

    Gotta get the machine gun from somewhere.

    -a nuclear bomb exploding

    bombs must be assembled before they can explode things.
    -a volcanic eruption (maybe?) idk
    takes a long time for those to happen. Thousands of years really.
  • there are now roughly 20 minutes worth of original footage of a man dressed as Adolf Hitler engaging in a rap battle with a man dressed as Darth Vader in front of a greenscreen available for public viewing on Youtube.

    the world we live in is stupid and silly.

    like idk you could say that a 10-second song is really long because it took 5 billion years for Earth to produce something that produced it

    Counting the construction of the building as part of the "disaster" of its collapse seems a bit of a stretch to me, seeing as how all buildings must be constructed but the vast majority of them don't collapse.

    Though one could argue that a building collapse is symptomatic of structural deficiencies, which would likely take more than 10 minutes to form.

    one could also argue that I'm omnipotent and am right by default.

    all hail the mighty pomp cloud.

    I'm thinking too hard about this now and it's very confusing

    I hereby decree that Ludmila shall be sent to the dungeon for at least 10 minutes
  • You can't put me in the dungeon

    for you see

    I built the dungeon

    and the railroad you shipped in the parts for the dungeon on

    thus, I can simply order the dungeon to begone, and it is so

    such are my immense powers.

    NO HEAR ME? YOU GET MC RIDE IN FACE.

    YOU WANT MC RIDE IN FACE?

    ...that's what I get for accepting the lowest bid for dungeon contractors, I suppose

    I knew I should have gone with Advanced Dungeons, LLC
