I like the song, has a vibe I can’t articulate but it’s on the tip of my tongue. Like punk, but later. Not new wave. Bleh, will bother me later.

1. anima had a hold on me, so many great cuts on that album and such ingenious editing (based on interviews it was all Nigel collecting and assembling the record from Thom’s loops—I don’t really care who did what, I love that album)
2. Haven’t seen ShowGirls since like high school, how does it hold up? Verhoeven’s the OG OTT…

Yo! This is super cool

Agree with ilzxc that the style seems to be on the tip of your tongue, kinda punkish, kinda dark americanaish, kinda newwaveish ... this is obviously a great thing

Love your voice on this, and the contrasted intensity of the parts, really gets super fun when it builds up, the vocal overlays are great too

Awesome!

You can never have too many cats in our friend group. We're all cat fanatics. We'd have more it my cat wasn't a solo kitty. She loves humans but, is too territorial to ease in new cats.

Yeah! I caught on to Anima randomly during the pandemic. I fell off of radio head and yorke's stuff entering into the 2010's. I watched the netflix version of the album and it made me feel things during a time when I was feeling fairly numb. I've have a real soft spot for it now.

I did hear that in some of the interviews as well. I had forgot about that tid bit until you mentioned it actually. The production is really top notch.

Showgirls was a wild ride. It's been having a re-evaluation recently so I've been wanting to see it. I remember it when it came out but didn't see it as I was too young. I remember a lot of adults being afraid we'd see it, because of the rating. It's fascinating as a commentary on power, corruption, money, and empowerment. My one complaint would probably be the sexual assualt scene. It was hard to watch for me and I think there were better, more poignant ways to move the plot. Over all though, I think it feels misunderstood and in inline with most of his work themes and style.

I pick up a guitar maybe 4 or 5 times a year so I have to fudge these things with some skills I am more secure in. Stylistically, I was pulling from the hodgepodge of post rock, post hard core, post punk, midwest emo, and indie rock bands I used to listen to in highschool and college (early-00s and late 90s). I don't play guitar or follow those scenes much anymore so my sonic tastes are all kind of locked to that time period un-evolved and simplified for my lesser remaining skills in that area

I am glad you enjoyed the vocal stuff I had a fun time with it. I think the song being a joke between friends gave me permission to play with that stuff a little more and keep it raw without fussing too much. I tried to keep it to a single take for each of the 3 passes with one or to minor punch ins to clean up a word or two. It's easy for me to want to overlay a lot with the daw so I tried to keep the vocals atleast locked to old 4-track machine rules had to abide to when I was first learning to record via tape.

Thank you The drums were stock ableton ones that I tried to spruce up to digitally imitate a room sound and a  studio mic with board processing. A thing I learned from electronic music production is that playing with midi velocity and really livens grid drums up, no matter how flat your samples are. I think there is a lot of magic in that.

Thank you haha, I am glad it made people laugh, I think that's the ultimate goal for this stuff. I watched that Daniel Johnston documentary when it came out and also felt sad after. I have some family that suffer with similar issues so it's kind of a familiar space. On rewatch, it is sad but I also find it inspiring as there is a lot of humanity that comes from the people in his life and fans that rallied together for him and could see his talents.

Haha we hung out with him on his B-day. His kid got sick in the morning so the original plans went out the window and we had a more low key evening. Happy to report, he did seem to have a good chill birthday. We all had a laugh at the song too. Mission accomplished I'd say despite the moodiness of the song's tone

The disillusionment on display perfectly fits the recent world events. Fucking grim. Fuck ICE.

And thanks for the reminder, gotta sit down with The Incal soon!

Kind of like a kooky no wave track.  Always awesome to experiment with different ideas and workflows.
Big Jodorowsky fan here btw.

If they don't perform this at my birthday I'm not going

Ryan's kid is doing well now. He is really into trains and horses right now. He can't quite speak yet but that didn't stop him from showing off his new rocking horse when we visited.

Skaterdater was a cute short It's a very wholesome coming of age type story. I like that there is no dialog. Apparently it used to play before movies in southern California theaters. It's interesting to see skate culture's original tie to surfing rather than the attitude driven extreme jumping stunts I knew from 90's.

It been a fun gag between our group. Good excuse to laugh as we get older

The Incal has been great. I've been slowly making my way through it. The story telling is a bit impressionistic but the art and direction really paints a vivid vision. The imagination on displayed is remarkable. It's my first read through. I haven't really had any direct experience with Jodorowsky or Moebius's work before. I've been quite impressed with it. It's been a real eye opener. I love the abstraction.

hahah

i need to ask my mom if she ever saw this before films - she's from that region & was about the age of these kids at the time this was made and used to skate to school she was fascinated by how big boards became when i had one in the 90's & kinda laughed at what skating was becoming as it was just transportation for her - i think about how tiny those boards were and the evolution to the 90's size boards and then in the aughts longboards were the rage - my friends children were doing thison longboards! this is how kids in the midwest go surfin' i struggled to skate or surf but had fun tryin' & by the time longboards became a thing i seem to have lost the ability to balance on any skateboar let alone a long board - they are so bouncy - the teens and tweens right now that are in my life seem to be into skate culture of the 90's vibe - it's pretty cute
