But if our culture is "other", then that means we have culture, which we don't. This is like Abba's absolutes all over again!

Oh, shoot, I didn't see this until just now. Bruh, I've heard so much good music since I've been gone. I've gotten super into My Bloody Valentine and Converge, one of my favorite sludge metal bands came back (Floor), one of my favorite sludge metal bands came back (Eyehategod), and that's all within this past year, I think! Music has been great to me.

What's the TV Trope for a guy who makes horrible, truly gut-wrenching puns? Do you have that yet?

I've listened to a little Converge (All We Love We Leave Behind), and they're pretty good. Haven't looked much more into them though, so you'll have to educate me. :BCaprizant wrote:Hello Jack! Heard any good music lately?

As for My Bloody Valentine, I'm wicked into m b v. You're probably gonna hate me for this, but... I like it better than Loveless :I
And as for the sludge metal, I don't really follow sludge metal, so I will ignore that part of the conversation so that I can make this whole shebang all about me. Huzzah for egotism!

JACK!
I DON'T KNOW YOU AND YOU DON'T KNOW ME! HI.
I'm an irl friend of Greece. I have been around for about a year and a half, so we just barely missed each other, I guess.

Oh, that's interesting, hi! I wonder what kinds of wild stories your friend has told you about me. I was a pretty debaucherous soul back in my prime.

Is that all the Converge you've listened to? Dude! They're just incredible, in my opinion. I think they're the closest thing I've found to Gojira (probably my favorite metal band), in that they're all really talented musicians, but rather than noodle around for no reason and wank on their instruments like "I can play even faster than this, baby, oooh", they combine their musical chops with really good song-writing in order to create music that captures this feeling of sheer despair and raw fury like no other band quite manages to do. I'm surprised you haven't listened to Jane Doe, it's pretty much their magnum opus.
You're crazy if you think anything is better than Loveless.
... Yeah, that's all I have to say there. Usually, I can find a silver lining, but no. Not this time. You're just nuts.
Oh, please, feel free to unleash your three-page filibuster on vaporwave or whatever the hell you're into right now. I'm curious. Do it.

Re: Look who's stopping by, VT...
Boy, lemme tell you about about post-neo-death-pop-fusion-core.
- Spoiler:
- Teenager Frank Zappa is an aspiring musician dating girlfriend Jennifer Parker in Hill Valley, California. His family is less ambitious; his father George is bullied by his supervisor, Biff Tannen, while his mother Lorraine is an overweight alcoholic who mainly reminisces about the past, such as how she met George in high school when he was hit by her father's car.
Frank meets his scientist friend "Doc" Brown late at night in the parking lot of a shopping mall, where Doc unveils a time machine built from a modified DeLorean. The vehicle's "flux capacitor" is powered by plutonium that he's stolen from Libyan terrorists. Doc tests the time machine by accelerating it to 88 m.p.h., sending it one minute into the future, and demonstrates the time circuits by entering an example date of November 5, 1955, the day he invented the flux capacitor. Before Doc can make his first trip, the Libyans appear in a van and gun him down. Frank attempts to escape in the DeLorean but inadvertently activates the time machine, finding himself transported to 1955.
Wandering in 1955 Hill Valley, Frank Zappa encounters the teenage George, who even then was being bullied by fellow classmate Biff. After Frank Zappa saves George from an oncoming car and is knocked unconscious, he awakens to find himself tended to by an infatuated Lorraine. Frank Zappa goes in search of the 1955 Doc, asking for his help to get back to 1985. With no plutonium, Doc explains that the only power source capable of generating the necessary 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning. Frank Zappa shows Doc a flyer from the future that recounts a lightning strike at the town's courthouse the coming Saturday night. Doc formulates a plan to harness the power of the lightning, while Frank Zappa sets about introducing his parents to each other to ensure his own existence.
Frank Zappa makes several attempts to set George up with Lorraine, but only antagonizes Biff and his gang in the process, causing Biff to crash his car into a manure truck and Lorraine to fall more in love with him. Frank Zappa also attempts to warn Doc about his death in the future, but Doc refuses to hear it, fearing it will alter the future.
When Lorraine asks Frank Zappa to the upcoming school dance, Frank Zappa plans to have George attend as well and "rescue" Lorraine from Frank Zappa's inappropriate advances. The plan goes awry when a drunken Biff shows up, pulls Frank Zappa from his car, and attempts to force himself on Lorraine. George arrives to rescue her from Frank Zappa but finds Biff instead; standing up to him for the first time, George knocks out Biff. A smitten Lorraine follows George to the dance floor, while Frank Zappa helps the band and ensures that his parents kiss for the first time.
As the storm gathers, Frank Zappa arrives at the clock tower. Doc angrily tears up a warning letter Frank Zappa has written him, still fearing it will alter the future, and a fallen branch suddenly disconnects the massive wire Doc has run from the clock tower to the street. As Frank Zappa races the DeLorean at 88 m.p.h. toward the clock tower, Doc climbs across the face of the clock to reconnect the cable. The lightning strikes on cue, sending Frank Zappa back to 1985 ten minutes before he left it. Frank Zappa runs to the shopping mall after the DeLorean's engine fails, but arrives too late only to watch Doc get gunned down and his counterpart escape to 1955. After a moment, Doc arises with a bullet-proof vest thanks to Frank Zappa's letter, which he kept. Doc then takes Frank Zappa home and departs to 2015.
Frank Zappa awakens the next morning to find his family changed: George is a self-confident, successful author and Lorraine is physically fit. Biff is now George and Frank Zappa's obsequious subordinate. As Frank Zappa reunites with Jennifer, the DeLorean appears with Doc, dressed in a futuristic outfit, insisting they accompany him in the future. The DeLorean disappears into the future with Doc, Frank Zappa and Jennifer.

Nuh-uh, that was the story of Frank Zappa and the creation of neoclassical punk zydeco rockabilly.

To be honest, I'm not feeling the whole "sheer despair and raw fury" kinda music right now, so I think I'll pass on them for a bit, but I'll definitely give Jane Doe a listen when college application comes around :BJacob Pschitt wrote:Is that all the Converge you've listened to?

I think the reason I like it better is because I can bypass the whole "22 years in the making after the greatest album ever" thing entirely, because I listened to them one-after-the-other (m b v came out sometime around when I listened to Loveless for the first time).You're crazy if you think anything is better than Loveless.
... Yeah, that's all I have to say there. Usually, I can find a silver lining, but no. Not this time. You're just nuts.
I'm not into vaporwave yet :I Honestly, I've found so many great albums over the past year and a half, it's difficult to relate it all. Would you prefer a chronological soliloquy on my actions throughout the year in relation to the music I listened to, or just a straight-up list of the main albums of interest and why I liked them? :BOh, please, feel free to unleash your three-page filibuster on vaporwave or whatever the hell you're into right now. I'm curious. Do it.
