    I want to watch Look Back again :blob_pat_sad:

    but like, in theaters. I don't want to watch it on a small screen. I want to hear the sniffles from the audience as they experience peak and get the sudden urge to learn to draw.

    I actually watched the movie 3 times in theaters and folks were bawling every time.

    Swans are a band as interesting as they are imposing (I swear I don't get my musical opinions from Anthony Fantano)

    Each song has its own freaky ecosystem, like the Galapagos Islands. Each instrument fills its niche and does little else outside of that. That typically means the guitars playing a chord 150 times while Michael Gira moans.

    One of the sickest rap track I've ever heard, coming from Thomas Jefferson himself.

    Musical meter is an element that is seldom ever touched in the genre because rap just thrives in 4/4. As a result, it's fascinating to see the folks over at clipping try a song that makes time signature changes the point.

    Masterful storytelling too.

    I will always believe modern settings are better than medieval settings because in a medieval setting, you can't have a scene where the cold-blooded antagonist unceremoniously shoots some guy in the head with a gun as a show of wickedness. Even though that's the best part of any self-respecting story.

    Yoshimasa Terui often foregoes the twinkly alt guitar work of his mathy J-rock contemporaries. Kyoumen no Nami is the perfect example of that, focusing much more on complex interlocking keys and strings. Undercutting that rhythmic tension is YURiKA's serene vocals. All this makes for one of the most striking pieces in the genre.

    The section after 1:40 especially is a monstrous groove that hurts just right. Terui's a master of those wonky rhythms.

    I'm translating a scientific document right now with ChatGPT open to compare translations afterwards, and my writing is almost identical to the AI's.

    I produce AI slop naturally... :blob_pat_sad:

    This song is a through-composed masterpiece. It perfectly encapsulate what I feel defined the Y2K era of the band: alienation, psychosis, misanthropy, paranoia, Androids.

    I can't even really talk about it because it speaks for itself.

    It really is Bohemian Rhapsody for people who can't order a coffee by themselves.

    I've been obsessed with Horse Race Tests music edits lately despite never watching the actual "series". I have no idea why.

    The most common form of English you will see used by Indonesians on the internet, especially on Instagram, is AAVE.

    It's bizarre. I suspect it's mostly a result of Indonesian gen Z being really into brainrot content and thus adopting a lot of the black slang associated with it. And also they think naked black men are just the pinnacle of comedy.

    Someone needs to study this phenomenon.

    Naked black men? Like in meme jomok?

    This is some revisionist bullshit. Both Indonesian men and women despised yuri.

    Indonesian fujoshis didn't suffer persecution and great sacrifice in the 2000s just for the country to be labeled part of "yuri Asia". Sure, yuri has seen a rise in modern times because of vtubing, but let's not forget our historical roots here. This country was built on yaoi.

    At this point, I'm grasping for songs to post. I've never listened to any other Peter Gabriel or Genesis song, but I like this one. Incredible nostalgia vibes, but maybe that has nothing to do with the song itself and more to do with the main guitar riff basically being the Rugrats theme in 7/4.
