it sounds like a poorly recorded cassette on an iron tape. but it's good. it adds this dark climate when you listen to it. most of the tapes from that firm were the same quality. they probably thought ''quantity over quality'' when they were making them.

i decided to have a new avatar
i typed in kurt cobain fan art and something like this showed ![]() so i used the most proffesional tool - MSPaint - to cut out the head and then resized it in online image resizer. it also had an option to add filters so i added one |
i feel like i look like an edgy person with that image

You're sixteen years old and listen to Sonic Youth. That's the epitome of edge.

So I'm at this cafe with my laptop to work on some projects and assignments and basically in front of me there's this guy with an actual fucking typewriter. Typing away, making noise. I mean, I'm all for using old-timey technology to do cool stuff every now and then. I have a good amount of analogue SLRs and general 35mm cameras. But come on, that's just showing off. What's a goddamn typewriter gonna do for you? In that setting?

i love the physicality of a typewriter. it’s got a rhythm like drums. IT’S A LOVELY THING. you literally can punch the shit out of it as you let out your writerly rage and it just goes and goes and goes like a locomotive plus the noise of the thing itself creates its own space. it is transporting. but yeah that butterfucker is there most likely just for the showoff. or maybe im fucking jealous because i’ve wanted a typewriter back since forever and i can’t find a respectable one. by respectable i mean one that actually works well and it’s easy to buy good ribbon for it. but no, it’s plastic made in china crap and the ribbons are cheap and dry and as rare as quaaludes these days. so, basically, i can’t have one and so i’ve been looking for keyboards (the keyboards are the thing) and the “steampunk” models are a bunch of overpriced gimmicky shit that nope. so i’m looking at mechanical keyboards now. maybe a compromise. but yeah, to be able to punhc the living shit out of a keyboard (mechanical typewriter is better than electric) = orgasmatronic |
I read the newspaper and this is what I learned:
1. Meatloaf has been a vegetarian for the last 11 years 2. Wombats shit in cube shaped form |
Sloths also poop out cubes...

PoopCube could be the name of a shitty YouTube knockoff.

So I dreamt of another song concept. It had this driven, almost Garage/Surf-Rock guitar riff, only it was a lot dirtier than you'd imagine. Thing is, being awake now, I can only remember the ending. It would end on the drawn out lines "Nob-oooody, Nob-oooody, No-bloody Ever. Falls. For you.". I can still remember the key of that, but somehow the guitar sound and the rest of the arrangement only remained with me as a vague description. In my dream it was the shit, maybe it would've been just shit when I actually consciously got to think about it. But I'll never know. Damnit, I wish I could remember the songs I compose in my dreams. The only one I was able to remember somewhat accurately was some vaporwavey tune with lyrics that weren't actual words.

Working through death's pain
Last night I swear I felt your touch, gentle and warm The hair stood on my arms - how, how, how? Show me the way, show me the way Show me the way to shake a memory Show me the way, show me the way Show me the way to shake a memory I flipped my forelock, I twitched my withers, I reared and bucked I could not put my rider aground All these fine memories are fucking me down I dreamed it was a dream that you were gone I woke up feeling so ripped by reality Love is the king of the beasts And when it gets hungry it must kill to eat Love is the king of the beasts A lion walking down city streets I fell back asleep some time later on And I dreamed the perfect song It held all the answers, like hands laid on I woke halfway and scribbled it down And in the morning, what I wrote, I read It was hard to read at first but here's what it said: "Eid ma clack shaw zupoven del ba Mertepy ven seinur cofally ragdah" "Eid ma clack shaw zupoven del ba Mertepy ven seinur cofally ragdah" Show me the way, show me the way Show me the way to shake a memory Show me the way, show me the way Show me the way to shake a memory "Eid ma clack shaw zupoven del ba Mertepy ven seinur cofally ragdah" Show me the way, show me the way Show me the way to shake a memory Show me the way, show me the way Show me the way to shake a memory |

As much as I love the Dirty album, my god it's a top heavy album. I reckon you could get rid of anything past track 9 (YAF) and you wouldn't lose anything. Sonic Youth never did a more top heavy album.

man you crazy. On the Strip, Chapel Hill, Purr, and Creme Brulee rule all. If any tracks should be removed from DIRTY they are Youth Against fascism and 100% (I find the 100% riff and structure to be weaksauce, and BORING compared to the amazing shit found elsewhere on Dirty. Also, Lee's GENETIC, maybe the greatest track ever, was left off because Thruston did not think a song about Lee's love for his son "fit in" with the rest of the record. |

i fucking love crème brûlée! certainly not a hit, but it’s secretly glorious — and yeah YAF is not the best — and nicfit is gonna come after you for dissing nicfit :D which, again, so short, not a radio hit, but it’s great and i love kim on the strip U CRAY it’s okay. we live in stressful times, sometimes a quick brawl with friends brings relief, hahaha ![]() listening to on the strip right now, such a great break into noise, again, not “radio friendly” - chapel hill would be better if thurston didn’t sing hahaha. same with stalker, lol. same with purr!! (but great guitars) - jc = tyger, tyger, burning bright... (love it, kim rules all.) |

An Australian drug dealer has pledged 10% of his profits over the weekend to bushfire relief funds. So do the country a favour and snort it up.

Haha! Didn't realise there'd be such a strong reaction. I honestly feel like they're b-sides at best. However, I agree that Genetic should have been a shoo-in to be on the album. I'm sure I read on here or mustang that Lee nearly left the band because of the arguments about the track. |

Ahhhh Why Spambots Exist! Kill It With Fire And Hang It On A Cross!

The apocalyptic air quality has subsided (for now). I think I can breathe tonite.

Thinking I should make a little 'roadtest' holiday over the next school break, just to make sure pushing out on my own is okay. Can't decide where in Australia to go, though.
