I love the short film for Axiom, I rewatch it every couple of months. Just an absolute banger of a music film. Baptism is such a raw and visceral track, and the accompanying video just elevates it.

Holy shit Archive mentioned!!! Controlling Crowds is perfect. Dangervisit and Come on Get High are some of my favorite Archive songs post-Londinium

No way BoC GYBE and Mogwai my beloved

Glad you enjoyed them!

Yeah it’s usually classified under trip-hop. Such a good album and the sound is so diverse. You would not think guns blazing and lonely souls came off the same album

Fuck me I forgot to add “You Can’t Stop The Prophet” off of Sun Rises in the East, that’s probably the best song on the album.

You should check out Psyence Fiction by UNKLE, I think you would enjoy it based on your taste for Gorillaz, and maybe Mezzanine by Massive Attack and Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps. My top picks off each album would be “Guns Blazing”, “Bloodstain” and “Rabbit in Your Headlights” off the first one and “Black Milk”, " Inertia Creeps" and “Mezzanine” off the second, and “Tesko Suicide” , “6 Underground” and “Spin Spin Sugar” off the third. But honestly I feel like these are just albums you gotta do a sequential listen of. Let me know if you enjoy any of them!

Actually one last one, I’d throw in The Sun Rises in the East by Jeru the Damaja, “Mental Stamina” and “Jungle Music” are solid

Hello old friend

Any old smartphone with an audio jackand/or bluetooth capability will work TBH. Assuming you will just use spotify, the internal storage would usually be enough to save playlists offline for roadtrips without wifi. You can find MP3 players which are essentially stripped down smartphones to be exactly that if you really want something new though. Here’s one on amazom https://a.co/d/8DIz1Qq.

🏴‍☠️, come get your 🏴‍☠️!!!

Emancipator fucks heavy. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an artist capture the feeling of misty forests and snow so perfectly. Just nature really. Safe in the Steep Cliffs and Dusk to Dawn are so evocative.

Motherfucker…

I don’t (or at least try not to) swear around my ma. She doesn’t like hearing them and that’s enough reason for me. Of course every once in awhile I may drop one purposefully, for the little kick of annoying my ma. I share some of her sentiment though. In general I think swearing can be a bit vulgar/unpleasant, so I don’t necessarily try to swear at every opportunity, but I do when I’m not around her.

I tried to keep posting, but it definitely felt like more people unironically hated it than anything so I stopped. I love him so much and his ability to keep impeccable time, don’t let the meme be a dream

I actually haven’t even heard about this tbh, usually I just see another massacre of civilians in the news and go about my day feeling like shit

At this point I’ve just kind of realized that there is no argument to be had with them. Not that their stubborn, but genuinely. It’s not that they can’t be critical of Hamas that they’re arguing, but that their criticism is responded to by “whataboutism” (so says them). Which isn’t even an argument so much as a statement? Like I guess yea, if you say so? But the original article is talking about a bombing in a civilian safe-zone that may not even have killed Hamas militants, so criticism of Israel is expected, even in replies of criticism if Hamas. If anything they are just complaining about the way they were responded to, which I don’t even know what the response they want is? I’ve concurred with said criticism, but that doesn’t seem to be it either? I genuinely don’t know what there is to say, or what they want if it’s not agreement with their criticism. Maybe that the criticism should be unchallenged? But again this is a thread about IDF bombs killing civilians in a “safe zone”. Either way I don’t think it’s worth your time, as they can’t even commit to ending conversations that aren’t “worth their time.”

I’m saying that you are bringing back a discussion had many times over and trying to claim that no one has had it. It’s redundant. The article is about an action by Israel, of course the discussion is gonna be about that action.

That’s really it? I thought it would actually be something important. I actually even agreed with your criticism of Hamas. Like, it’s been needless to say that criticism of Hamas has been had already, since way before this thread. Since October 7th even. Your time is being wasted because you wasted it yourself.

Again, what is your argument?

Where is your answer?
