Solid recent birthday weekend, heart is full

Met a bunch of kittens yesterday and it was one of my life’s greatest tragedies not taking this little guy home

SEO and self-aggrandizement suggest we should have used "best" in the headline, but after doing this for 20 years I don't feel like playing that game anymore. We made a list of our 100 favorite rap albums of the 21st century. We stand by them! But it's also highly subjective. Anyway, enjoy!

Saw Slowhole last night, I wish all the love in the world for them as they were just fantastic.

1. I’d prefer it if alternative/extreme music genres stayed underground. The semi-clandestine nature of it is what makes it a joy to me. Happy for others broadly enjoying these things, in my own way, though. 2. Big Tobacco is evil, but I admire their marketing teams in a Bond villain kind of way.

It’s wild to me that people are romanticising the early 00s online now

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

I'm asking that we all raise our political expectations. We deserve good things.

I know a lot of the metalcore revival thing bands have been doing for last almost 10 years is veering to At the Gates-mid-00score, but I still think Renounced should get their flowers for being a good while ahead of the curve in the genre

go ahead. post another "take." tell me that not liking AI is elitist. accuse Dril of sabotaging Harris's chances at winning the election. say that it's "white male privilege" to not vote for Newsom. come up with a woke way to support genocide. call me gay for liking corn dogs.

So very tired of the current state of the internet and apps where search results for what you’re looking for will spew out about 3 results of unrelated nonsense before you find word for word what you’re looking for. Literally nothing functions well anymore.

New & Notable: Black metal mysterioso Këkht Aräkh is back—a towering stack of lo-fi riffing that hisses and snarls.

Been waiting over a decade to see them live, and Youth Code were well worth it

me (bursting open my apartment window like ebenezer scrooge): you there, boy! did it happen? boy (gloomily): no sir

the fascism we see is global, includes much of a turning tide in Europe, and is the result of decades of post-WWII collusion of imperial states. America is obviously some big bullshit but don’t act like this isn’t a global pandemic of fascist ideology

Same, buddy. Same.

Crimmas

in the war against AI music scrapers bedroom black metal artists will be our greatest ally by releasing demo after demo of unlistenable dogshit

They had comments disabled and still the power of mass hating prevailed. Only goes to show: never stop hating.

i need millennials (my generation) to stop being cringe and forgetting how old zoomers actually are. my little sister is a zoomer and she *grew up* with the DS as her first gaming device. come on what are we even doing here with this?

Seems like a good time to drop this here www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/a-complete...

The album ‘Heathen’ by the band Thou

I think we’re long overdue a James O’Barr conceptualised and written Batman film where he’s smoking bare Marlboro Reds whilst shooting bad guys. Photos for reference.

nobody ever puts both their palms over their mouth to do a really loud fart sound anymore, just something i've noticed about society

lmao

I feel like there’s a round table discussion dedicated solely to making everything more fucking miserable at every opportunity in this country

I miss my favourite grumpy baby, Boots. She had a wonderful and long life, so there’s no sadness there, but I do miss having my cynical shadow and sidekick around to judge others and only let me - and no one else - feed her and give her a belly rub.

Saw Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean this week, well worth the wait and forever faves

The section on how bad faith the ‘democratisation of art’ argument sums up a lot of my views. Art, in all mediums, has always been for all people. If you don’t care to practice to get to a level that passes quality control then it’s on you, for a plethora of reasons that serve no excuse.

Deeply wishing for another Hellish Form album, top tier band

Is there a more tired topic in music formats than ‘the death of CDs’? It’s just blatantly not true.

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

That first week back to real world shenanigans after a holiday is awful, truly doo doo feeling

How it feels when entering album of the year list season 🍂 For those amongst us who love a list, don’t let the usual discourse and gripes dampen your spirits. Compile that little list of your faves and revisit a couple of releases you might’ve forgotten, it’s fun and it need only serve your loves.

Spent a week in hater mode, predictably, I feel no better for it. In an effort to pivot back to what I actually care about, here’s some recent music I’ve enjoyed… Lamp of Murmuur - The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy Rosalía - Lux Anna von Hausswolff - Iconoclasts Pupil Slicer - Fleshwork 1/2

Blaring some vampyric black metal would go so hard here

everything is garbage and yet everything also costs infinity dollars

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

BREAKING: The White House has officially endorsed all NSBM groups.

It’s deeply infuriating to me that employers don’t financially compensate you for your commute. It’s taken me an hour and a half yesterday and today to get to work from home and vice versa, it should only take 35 minutes. Bullshit on every fucking level.
