Esmee Denters 2: I'll buy you a jet plane, baby

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:

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.

it is not about folded irony?

it's about advanced chords

shapely advanced chords and an obligatory post about cupcakes

Oh, and we listened to a lot of Art of Noise and the Shangri-Las.

we went out to dinner, went home, watched episodes of Season 4 of the Wire for possibly the fourth time, and I fell asleep on the couch. We were full from dinner so we didn't eat any snack food while engaged in this activity.

My brother and his wife keep it like a cave in this house. The opaque curtains are always drawn, even when it's overcast outside, even though the porch kills a lot of the potential direct sunlight, and now, in the middle of November, in one of Central Florida's colder autumns, they've got the air conditioning on. Not the only reason I'm moving out, but I'm moving out. Fuck those two.

sounds like it would be better for you ... plus you could avoid canned tuna.

Something like this has potential, but I hate that area. It's all asphalt and shopping centers.

Single MOMs OK

i talked with one of my non-profit bookkeeping clients yesterday about the breakup and the business stuff that's up in the air, and how I'll need to take on more freelance work to be able to live alone, and she said she'd refer me to other people who might need someone, so the financial challenges are seeming a bit less challenging.

That's good. I keep thinking of financial challenges in special classes.

when I think of special classes I think of my friend Jen's students, and how part of their curriculum is social adjustment, so she'll take them to McDonalds or Walgreens and places like that.

OH. I'm unpacking all of this.
