I am not trying to be a hater here, but we are getting a Gaspar Noe's Girlfriend blu-ray boxset before we get a Gaspar Noe blu-ray box set.

anytime anybody asks me how I'm doing:
could not think of a better Marty Supreme casting decision, tbh
Silo-nuke #25: Opus III, "Guru Mother"
Verdict: LIKE IT
Thoughts: not quite as good as Mind Fruit, but there's still some fun stuff on here.
Silo-nuke #24: Opus III, "Mind Fruit"
Verdict: LIKE IT
Thoughts: sounds like something that would have been released in 1999 vs. 1992. probably a little ahead of its time? good stuff.
Fitzcarraldo (1982)
NEW SONG! another bedtime destroyed for the books.
Silo-nuke #23: The Hope Blister, ".... Smile's OK"
Verdict: NOT FOR ME
Thoughts: 4AD low point. features one of the worst covers I've ever heard, which is kind of insane given that it's a cover of a great and honestly very simple song that leaves very little space to cover so badly
Silo-nuke #22: Mojave 3, "Ask Me Tomorrow"
Verdict: LIKE IT
Thoughts: more of a revisit than a discovery. if you've ever wondered what a Slowdive country album sounds like, well, it exists.
Silo-nuke #21: Born From Pain, "Siege Mentality"
Verdict: LIKE IT
Thoughts: nice little kicker of an album.
Silo-nuke #20: Converge, "Love is Not Enough"
Verdict: LOVE IT
Thoughts: TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT
Silo-nuke #19: Exhumed, "Red Asphalt"
Verdict: LIKE IT
Thoughts: great to listen to if you need to get a bunch of shit done at work quickly. Exhumed pretty much always sounds the same to me, but that also means they are always consistent.
Silo-nuke #18: Clan of Xymox, "Clan of Xymox"
Verdict: LOVE IT
Thoughts: probably the best thing I've discovered in my exploration of the 4AD catalog.
Silo-nuke #17: Modern English, "After the Snow"
Verdict: LIKE IT
Thoughts: more 4AD catalog stuff.
Silo-nuke #16: Blonde Redhead, "23"
Verdict: IT'S OKAY
Thoughts: still going through the 4AD catalog. a little too twee for me but it's not bad.
also, I composed this a couple weeks ago. I am extremely proud of it. would love for you to listen.
let the Youtube algo bless you every once in a while.
Maybe Starship Troopers was too subtle
I’m so tired of everything. but I can’t give em what they want, so I run on bile and spite.
Jesus god Met-Rx is not fuckin around calling itself a “meal replacement” bar
I've officially been off Facebook for over a year. feels good, man. and honestly, I cannot imagine trying to tolerate living in this country with that fucking shit going on in the background on top of all this. no regrets
I’m a huge fan of MP3 players. used my Zune HD right up until it went through the wash in 2021 (😭). once I’d grieved, I bought another and kept going.
in this economy, one must serve as their own Dominatrix
the crisis of impunity will continue until consequences
