Lamp, broken circa 1988

DJ Rashad blew my fucking mind last year and just inspired me to start rethinking about how I approach my own compositions and highlighting a middle ground between dance-able and technical that made sense. Not ready for this. Damn. Rest in peace.

Would it be cool if I participated in the discussions but didn't have a book suggestion? All I've read for the last few years is philosophy and things shaped like political manifestos, so I don't have any good recommendations otherwise and I don't want to force anyone to deal with that stuff.

OH GOSH BONUS STREAM NPR- I think her last album is absolutely brilliant, clever, and incredibly impressive given my usual distrust of whimsical pop shit. I think it will take quite a while for me to have a coherent opinion of this record. "Nikki Nack" by tUnE-yArDs 1. Find a New Way 2. Water Fountain 3. Time of Dark 4. Real Thing 5. Look Around 6. Hey Life 7. Sink-O 8. Why Do We Dine on the Tots? 9. Stop That Man 10. Wait for a Minute 11. Left Behind 12. Rocking Chair 13. Manchild

Dark Souls 2 can eat me. EDIT: Now that I'm a day removed, allow me to be more articulate. I don't regret the purchase, and I knew what I was in for. The first thing they ever said about the game was "yeah, we're making it so you're fighting a bunch of dudes all the time." It is exactly what they said it would be and it is exactly as infuriating as I expected it would be.

Chad's a favorite of mine. I endorse his whole back catalog: just full of just surreal songwriting excellence. Although I'll say that Shrink Dust is a more roots music kind of affair than the rest of his stuff.

and some teen wolf dude, I think? regardless, yeah, that picture is magnificent. zach hill can barely contain his confusion.

you know those flash toys/iphone apps that are like a big touch screen matrix and when you touch squares they play notes? And then a time line will scan across and it'll hit those notes, and you'll have a little song without having to learn theory or anything like that? Okay, now what if you played an adventure game that happens underneath the little square thing that as you progressed, you slowly powered up the little square thing to do stuff like chords and play multiple patterns in a row? FRACT OSC: now on steam. (i am enjoying it, to be clear.)

Just got a bunch of grant money for SDSU. Hit me up if you want to get emotional to big blurry rap songs. Still alive, so I gotta be the chosen one...

STREAMS have been kind of w/e for the last few weeks, but that's over now! NPR- Brainfeeder (Flying Lotus' Warp imprint) is one of my favorite labels. This guy is on Brainfeeder. Come understand what I mean. (sorry about the tiny cover) "Good Times" by Jeremiah Jae 1. Sunday (Intro) 2. The Heat 3. Palm Trees feat. Isreal 4. Witch Hazel feat. Oliver the 2nd 5. That N---- feat. Tre 6. Good Times 7. Father's Day 8. Mountain Rise (prod. by Oliver the 2nd) 9. Making S--- (prod. by Jonwayne) 10. Bad Times 11. Survival feat. Oliver the 2nd 12. Good Leaf feat. Tre and Oliver the 2nd 13. Get Mine feat. F.A.B.L.E. 14. Chocolate City feat. Beans da Poet and Tre P4K- Like singing koombaya with a bunch of robots and both you and the robots are on acid. Small cover because this cover is magnificiently insane and not worksafe. "Shrink Dust" by Chad Vangaalen 1. Cut Off My Hands 2. Where Are You? 3. Play 4. Frozen Paradise 5. Lila 6. Weighed Sin 7. Monster 8. Play 9. Evil 10. Leaning on Bells 11. All Will Combine 12. Weird Love 13. Hangman's Son 14. Cosmic Destroyer

There's no joke I could possibly make that would match the what-the-fuckery of this picture, so all I can do is stare at it in absolute awe. welcome to being an action bronson fan. it's weird. (that's bronsolino in the center with the pizza and the piece)

I was going to post this in the dad zone thread but that seems like more of a positive, helpful, cohort-like thing than anyone who needs to hear what I'm going to say. I have this friend, and we talk basically every day. Today she had to talk to her father about him claiming her as a dependent (she is absolutely not). So I sit down to watch Dallas @ Anaheim to see if I can successfully will the fucking Disney Ducks out of the Stanley Cup. I make it to the end of the second period when my IM goes off. Turns out that the conversation went so well that he told her he never wants to see her again. This is because of maybe $1000. So FUCK you If you're a father and you think you are capable of saying a thing like that under any circumstance other than malicious, destructive antagonism. You deserve every kind of cancer you fear.

MC Ride, Death Grips Daveed Diggs, clipping. Carla Bozulich Boog Brown Hellfyre Club I was gonna post an Antwon picture but I'm probably just gonna fill this thread with Antwon pictures once his new album is out. He's just too cute to share a post with anyone.

Preordering of the new Swans record, To Be Kind, is now open.

remember when the discussion thread was called the omnibus thread and before that, how it was called the "comments that don't warrant their own thread" thread I dont know why ian rotten stiffing someone on pay reminded me of that just can't seem to figure it out

Future's Dungeon Family, so, not that weird. Although I did have to look that up after I heard it. It's also worth noting that the people on Coachella's mixer boards are notorious dillweeds. Andre was probably expecting professionalism, bless his heart.

This will be too late by the time anyone sees it, but I'd just like to say that Outkast's set at Coachella has been the most surreal meltdown I've seen in years. I think the reason it's been so long since a new Outkast album might actually be that Andre hates all of us.

Tabe is wrong. Anyways. If it makes you feel any better, this feeling never went away and I made it to the end of the early access progression. Every time I passed a mission, "I can't believe that worked." It will get slightly easier when you start getting different ammo types. I wish I could tell you what I learned through my months of playing but I am currently drunk and they wiped my save anyways. So I guess the surface level version is "constantly stress test the gun construction system."

Gang of Four as fuck in here. I am basically always down for that.

Another silo full, another dark dawn Bending the air, love is so small Visualize dark thoughts it was in a dream Internet as a self-atomizing machine I designed it, reset, she's the cure Underground, search for more Returnal - You've never left, you've been here the whole time Returnal - You've never left, you've been here the whole time Another silo full, another dark dawn Bending the air, love is so full My desire to see the light, my desire to be pure Underground I visualize sighing ocean dream Returnal - You've never left, you've been here the whole time Returnal - You've never left, you've been here the whole time You've never left, you've been here the whole time Returnal - You've never left, you've been here the whole time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoWhTP8VCcU My personal favorite match for both guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEXiCtTubcg Favorite Norton match. Basically Hash had my favorite match of almost everyone he wrestled. Yamazaki, Takada, Mutoh...

Zeke in the back part of WWECW was pretty good w/ Regal & Kozlov, but it seemed like the clock was ticking when Cesaro and Big E (both are younger and better with the same gimmick) came up, and then once Bray started using his finish as a cutoff spot it seemed like it was going to be sooner than later. Just unlucky to get hurt when he did.

"NO NO NO NO NO." *DING DING DING DING DING* magic.

Ray Rice punched his girlfriend out and dragged her unconscious body from a elevator. What is this country coming to??? the same country but with cameras everywhere?
