lol i didn't block anyone. i knew "fite time" was a joke. as were a lot of the things i said. i've always been a bit of an ass on these boards, just look at my user notes.
it's fine lol, i spend more time on my black metal & shoegaze discord channels these days anyhow. |

the elitist attitude is central to the art world unfortunately. art is usually made by outsiders who after being marginalized by society have no better idea than to create exclusionary circles off their own marginalization. then come the students, and the aspirational middle classes, and the rich patrons, to signal their aesthetic virtue to the rest of the herd by participation in these circles, and kurt eats lead pellets. the anthropological question for me is—do the elitists enjoy art for whatever they find in the art itself? or is it more for the ego gratification of thinking they are one of the special few with access to the secret society of esoteric knowledge? i think probably both, but there are also a lot of people for which it’s mostly the second—the precious precious posers. either way, humans are insufferable apes. can’t way till they’re all extinct. :D |

That's actually a lovely assessment. It sorta blows my mind just how superficial nearly everything about society is. Like you could say, "Yes, this painting is absurdly photo-realistic." That painter would truly be validated by the perfection of their craft, and objectively a better artist than most, but where is the emotion in a realist landscape, yknow? On the other hand, someone like Captain Beefheart farts into a tin can and everyone gathers around to sniff it, inflating their ego by getting high off his butt fumes. Is it because they're able to appreciate something which others are not? Does the same feeling apply to guilty pleasures? Are all art fans just failed intellectuals, or are they onto something more? What matters most, objectivity or subjectivity? Fact or emotion? Black/white or shades of grey? Emotion or logic? Yin or yang? Does any artist truly not do it for the money? Aren't all advertisers failed artists, and all artists wishing to make it big? I just don't get it lol. Consider me a philistine also, I guess. |
consider me a palestinian.
i was just coming to edit the original post. i said “it’s probably both” but i think it’s more of the second than anything. the human hunger for status is as voracious and ruthless as any other appetite after all. so that basic human need is gonna take precedence over the more “refined” impulses 9 out of 10 times. the #1 impulse is always “what hot shit i am, look at me looking at this”. lol. join the elite, shun the rest, look for the next level. and then, if true refinement is achieved—what is refinement, but more of the same? art is pornography, ha ha ha. we’re just machines. anyway, speaking of refinement and status, did you watch fox and his friends yet? posted you a note in the movie thread cuz my inbox is packed to the gills 50/50. |

To be fair to Stark, the Cap cannot get drunk due to what they did to his, uh, molecular structure or summat, so... |

Laurel Halo released a new 12"/EP/3-track thingumybob last month, Tru/Opal/The Light Within You: Quote:

Also last month, Housewives released a new song, "Speak To Me". Blank Editions' blurb is rather... heavy-handed:

I think you misunderstood me — what I meant is the guy literally cannot get drunk, no matter how much he drinks. It's on The First Avenger, goddammit! |
Quote:
No, I understood because I know more about Captain America and all comic-book characters than you or anyone in your family will EVER know... But Movie Cap’s inability to get drunk doesn’t negate Stark’s dumbasssloppy drunkitude. Ya feel me? |
I was the one who misunderstood indeed. :o But it's that bloody phone of yours, man — I thought you had tried to type "is" but you tried to type "it's" but your phone typed "its" but fuck it.

Yeah, I’m hating the phone thing. But I’m always fucking running around, so it’s the only way to do anything. |

All right, that's progress right there. :D By the by, the fact that you "know more about Captain America and all comic-book characters than [ I ] or anyone in [my] family will EVER know" (which I don't dispute) is a pretty small feat — I mean, my family doesn't know jack about Captain Rogers. They don't even know the guy fought the Nazis. Hell, forget that, they couldn't even pick him out of a lineup even if the rest of the lineup were all Hulks. ANYWAY, before the year ends, let's acknowledge how crazy fucked up it is that we never even mentioned this one on this thread:  I for one dug it. I know you're probably gonna say YAH WELL where's my 10-disc Sign "☮" The Times box, but this is such a spirited performance, the Purple One running through songs brilliantly in a situation which could otherwise have birthed a completely bland and irrelevant recording since he's not even trying to fill a B-side or anything. Top shit, man. ETA: Plus, Joni cover — what more can you ask for. |
Yes yes yes re: Code Girl

Best new/most anticipated albums 2018
Stalker. Sometimes they get confuzed but for the most part they try and flank you and take cover when needed. They also call for help when injured.
