38 minutes and I still can't post *sigh*

Becka sighed today two seats back because the class was discussing a poem and poems are boring. I can't even place her voice from the breathiness of a sigh - it's just the only way that sigh fits the narrative of class.

i've often felt that i must be boring because I think poems are often boring.

Well, they often are.

my gf *hates* poetry

which is perhaps why i have turned to novel-writing - altho NaNo has been ignored; it will be a longer-term project

so I shouldn't think that i'm boring because of that?

xp LJ - no offense, but that abbreviation/acronym makes me cringe.

no

you shouldn't think yr boring

that guy would always show up at the most miserable moments - like when me & my bf were having a fight, he would walk up and his perky voice say, "Hey what's up!" I actually saw him a couple weeks ago while I was working in SF taking a smoke break and feeling shitty about my break up. And sure enough, perky voice, "Hey what's up? How's it going?"

what guy

sarahel do you like dodheimsgard

xp - the guy that started N@tional N0vel Wr1ting M0nth - he lived in the same apartment building as me - across the hall - for about 9 years.

what a paragon of all that is unholy

if I think about him too much, I'll remember more annoying but trivial anecdotes about him, that are pretty much just trivial shit that isn't worth being annoyed by, much less dwelling on the memories of the annoyance.

i don't know what dodheimsgard is.

probably the best opening 5 seconds of any album ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqzuZuKjuV4&feature=related

i hate Na No guy

nano sounded promising and i bought into it - but i want to write as good a novel as i can, so i have rebelled against its principles

obv quality >> quantity to some extent, and i don't feel snobbish saying that

you shouldn't feel snobbish - plus the guy regularly attended Burning Man.

anyway listen to that song and then afterwards listen to DISCO BLACK METAL:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmSLtSAg6lw

seriously this tune slays AND bangs...would mosh/rave

the first one reminds me a bit of Depeche Mode and Skinny Puppy - actually more like Skinny Puppy as it goes on.

the second one reminds me of a lot of the industrial stuff I listened to when I was 18 and a sophomore in college, before I took that electronic music class and discovered Xenakis' concrete stuff and before I went and saw Front 242 in concert and the lead singer was wearing spandex bike shorts, and I became a bit disillusioned with industrial.

oh well.

hang on, what?

oh wait you posted that with an image earlier

so ... somewhere between 45 minutes and 2 hours.

About industrial music? I listened to some nine inch nails when I was a teenager, but I skipped everything else until Cab Volt, Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Foetus, &c. Then I worked my way forward by a bit, but not by much.

That bird is drinking out of a birdwell, by the way.

dodheimsgard are one of the most hated black metal bands ever because they flagrantly fuck with the formula and basically piss EVERYONE off - they are amazing, and like Ulver see the glorious link between campy electro-industrial rock and BM

however it is a bit cruel to be so reductionist...they are genuinely original AFAIC

some good bands there bryce

I was trying to see how long it would take before the system stopped giving me the duplicate message error. So it was actually an "oh well" to Mr. Que's post about changing the board name.

"remind me of" doesn't not equal "sound just like" in the way I meant it.

I'm listening to New Order right now btw

perhaps the attitude of the music is redolent, i can understand you perceiving that

and new order are apparently good, i shd listen to them more maybe

they sound a bit like Skinny Puppy to me - they don't sound exactly like Skinny Puppy or sound completely derivative of Skinny Puppy.

no i get that...music always sounds like different other music for different people...reference points are useful

I didn't want to seem dismissive of something you obviously like.

no that's cool - i've noticed that when you don't like something so much that i adore, you say it isn't for your tastes, which is very pleasant of you :)

what

i try to be pleasant. though there are some musical things i can't be pleasant about - like Hall & Oates and Phil Collins - so I generally don't say anything about them.

rather than saying it is flat-out bad or terrible music - positive attitude imo xp

yeah exack

I don't understand the Alica Key's ass thread.

Maybe it's because when I open that thread the post that is dead center in my field of vision mentions cupcakes.

IT'S ABOUT ALICIA KEYS ASS WHAT IS THERE TO UNDERSTAND

that's what you said about the Smoke Persian, and I didn't understand.

It's more straightforward than the Smoke Persian.
