Well, this time, you could also include a carrot you actually stuck in your ass inside every copy?

sludge./stoner metal was HUGE in Houston Texas around 1990-1996.
the recent shit is just boring for the most part. the new thing will be Tejano Metal. metal shredding with tejano Umpa-Loompa polka tuba beats. |
my nose itches.

Rob, you have just blown my mind. :eek: |
From R. Crutch:
Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes." This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one. |

I hate houston. |
I'd love to see stoner rock/ sludge metal bands take the scene over.
|
what scene?
|
The noise scene.
|
how can stoner rock or sludge take over the "noise" scene? Only noise could take over the noise scene.
|
Ugh, forget it.
|
I wish this would take over every scene:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/gce01d It's a song I did for Robe.... it's all bass, organ, and hum from casette tapes... it kinda sounds like stars of the lid playing doom drone... Terry Riley's in c played by wolf eyes... you know, nothing as cool as I'm saying, but you all should listen to it, it's only like 17mb, it'll make your day. In fact, if you download it and don't like it, I'll laugh. |
I got over noise, but have the urge to listen to it again.
|
you'd enjoy the link i posted then :)
|
Self-promoter. Have you met Madonna?
|
no one else will help me promote.
|
Well I am just listening to it now, will let you know when it's over.
|
cool thanks.
It's no biggy either way, I just figured someone would enjoy. I KNOW HOW TO GET FAMOUS! |
Hey Adam, that was pretty good. I just think it ended too abruptly. It should have had a segue to finish it. I don't know, the ending needed something.
|
Cool thanks, um, I was thinking the same thing and actually my bandmate Kyle is going to add some stuff to it anyway so it'll probably end up being pretty good. haha.

Funny you should mention that actually. I was reading a review only today on Vital Weekley (of Goh Lee Kwang) that complained about the packaging. Frans De Waard obviously has a thing about packaging. |
Well one guy emailed me (not the vitalweekly guy) and said, "Well, we like to mention the packaging in our reviews." And I replied, "Well, even though this a promo, the actual copy won't have fancy packaging either. Why not review the music instead?"
I just didn't know the noise/experimental/avant/etc scene was so.. um... package-obsessed. But I guess it makes sense.. when you hear 100 albums of interchangeable drone, static, and feedback, the only way they'll stick out in your mind is if they have pretty packages. |
look at wolf eyes releases. ost of it is horrid turgid shit, but theior albums look great. it makes people like it when the music sucks ass.
see YES, ASIA, BOSTON etc for previous decades examples of shit music hidden by "cool" cover packaging |
I dunno, I've just never understood being fetishistic over packaging. It makes Fight Club that more relevant, which is a silly thing to say, but people obsessed with their cars, their clothes, their tables in the shape of a yin yang?
That's the noise scene.. obsessed with their "etchings" and their "cd-covered-in-slime-and-put-in-a-bag-of-fetuses" and "hey who knows if the music is good or if it'll even PLAY once you buy the album - 10/10!" |
frankly, besides the die hards here on this forum, I do not know of anyone who listens to any noise release more than once really (I listen to it more than once)
it makes the fetish attitude even more heightened when the packaging is freaky plus it ensures that you will "sell" all 50 or 100 copies of what you put out, and in twenty years, if you are MISFITS-lucky, those crap ass items will cost $400 on Ebay |
haha.
|
well, my thing is, noise can be the best thing in the world when it's done right.
but most of the time, total bullshit will get recognized for having "good" packaging. |
