Orbital, Pusher soundtrack -- the great washes of synths and delicate plunky-wunkies are a nice break from the other great washes of synths and delicate plunky-wunkies (Namlook fan contributions)

Pfff...have you checked out pens or cameras or microphones...headphones are still a pretty decent deal. Oh, wait a minute, you were talking about father's day gifts...which are pens and cameras and whatnot....never mind.

Skinny Puppy, Weapon (new studio album, came out about a month ago)

Rawk on, let your freak flag fly. Me: moar Helloween -- goddamn, I love good power metal. Also Lollers @ Unarmed -- the version of Dr. Stein, in particular, is particularly silly fun. And they still "got it", IMHO -- they still write good tunes, they didn't start and end with Keeper...

So you're one of those people who actually try to catch fish, huh?

Yeezh, dude.

Happy Motherfucker's Day!

Helloween, Straight Out of Hell \m/, motherfuckers, \m/

Namlook tribute comp fan submissions Almost 12 hours of music. I'll be in my bunk.

Yeah, I can see how that'd be the case. I do most of my listening in the near field, and (in your cases) it's could be the exact same amount of treble, but for some reason when it's diffuse (which even 10 feet will do), it's more tolerable.

That made me laugh inordinately hard.

I'm a gonna listen to it on streaming...

's'truth -- I have a friend who's no longer a diabetic because she got a pancreas transplant. And: what everyone else has said -- kudos for doing documentably positive work. Makes my eyes well up.

If it's just a slight uptip in the treble, won't you consider just a smidge of EQ?

Do I look like I give a flying fuck about wine? Does this penis look like it gives a flying fuck...okay, that's probably the wrong way to phrase that question...

Or climb up the cell tower and monkey with it yourself some. I'd actually call the carrier.

I just ate entire thing of strawberries. So...alphabet soup then?

"Child of Vision" is a great song (I love songs like that, that are >50% instrumental -- also, "Crime of the Century", title track), but too bad it follows those two (relative) clunkers, "Just Another Nervous Wreck" and "Casual Conversations". Sorry. I think it's that lull at the end of side two that takes this album out of any kind of Top X list for me. Crime of the Century and Even in the Questest Moments... are much better albums. And "Rudy", a live version on the bonus disk, is such a great song. I think it might be their best song. So epic, with all those parts...

This show is the best. I can't even type that without breaking into such a fit of giggles that my eyes water. And Jeff's right -- Isla Fisher is hawt.

[siri voice]I'm sorry, was that a question?[/siri]

She looks cold. Or aroused. Dude, I know what 'aroused' looks like -- she's cold. What are you saying, that I don't know what 'aroused' looks like? No, I'm saying you watch so much porn, and they make nipples erect with ice cubes, that you wouldn't know the difference. Dude, fuck you. Seriously. Also, she's standing in a natural body of water. Yeah, natural body alright. (snickers) (snickers)

Negotiated the price for my next vehicle, which I will be purchasing on Saturday -- $3.50 and a cookie. Seriously. Will post pics if I can. A question for legal -- what's the monetary equivalent of a cookie? Virginia doesn't have a space for non-monetary values, so they're going to want to know cash equivalent value. I get $0.20 based on a "typical" Pepperidge Farms container of cookies -- three buckets of approximately 5 cookies each for $3 -- ye?

Well because of MOA East. And because MOA Proper sounds funny. And ackshully, now that I think about it, "MOAE" sounds a little too much like "meowy"...

Timeline Symmetry and Telluric Manifesto are available on Spotify.

I think we need to call it MOAW4 now.
