hi nobody here remembers me or cares but here's a life update entry cause it's been a hot minute and things have been pretty big a little over a month ago some stuff happened and I ended up alone and jobless and checking myself into a hotel with the intention of hanging myself from a doorknob then I started seeing a psychiatrist and got diagnosed with PTSD and borderline personality disorder and started therapy and took up meditation and got put on like three more mood stabilizers fast for
remember my hatred for those CD packages where the disc just slides into a cardboard sleeve, which causes them to get scratched and scuffed way too easily? SOLUTION:
every time I have a long, well-thought-out and important reply ready before I can post it, either somebody else says the same exact thing or the entry gets locked for precautionary purposes :<
on this day six years ago I made my first foray into the world of heavy metal music with the album As Daylight Dies by Killswitch Engage. up to that point I'd really only listened to generic radio rock and alternative bands. I heard their rather misleading single “Starting Over” on the radio and really liked it, but the album that was from wasn’t out yet, so I picked up As Daylight Dies from Walmart one night instead. as soon as the first song started I was floored. I’d never heard anything li
..is a great song by Machinae Supremacy, the world's premier video game-themed SID metal band, which is who this entry is about. roughly 3 years since I got into MaSu, I finally ordered physical copies of all the albums they've released since signing to a label, after previously only owning them digitally. still hope to find copies of their first two independent albums someday, but that's looking unlikely since those are ultra-rare and highly sought-after. from top to bottom: - Redeemer
two albums. one day. 09/03/13. Pain Is Beauty - Chelsea Wolfe third standard studio album from the gothic alternative singer-songwriter, promises to have more electronic and industrial elements along with her trademark dark blend of folk, experimental music, and trace elements of doom metal. absolutely psyched for this release, especially considering her previous album Apokalypsis is one of my favorite albums of all time. Hesitation Marks - Nine Inch Nails speaking of all-time favorite album
just three days after ordering it, I've got a copy of M83's out-of-print second album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. normally this goes for anywhere from $30 for a used copy to $150 for a new one - but I lucked out and got this complete "Used - Good" copy for only $7 plus shipping, likely because of an automated price-matching bot dropping the price to match an incomplete "Used - Acceptable" listing from another seller. I actually feel like the seller underrated it, too, because bo
normally I post complete collections, but I'm very quickly running out of those so here's one that's only mostly complete. I'm currently missing the original 2002 version of Nothing, the EP I (which was just reissued last year, but I haven't been able to find it yet), and the Rare Trax compilation. from top to bottom: - Contradictions Collapse (2008 reissue with 4/5 of the None EP as bonus tracks) - Destroy Erase Improve (2008 reissue with the other 1/4 of the None EP as a bonus track,
took me like a year but I've finally gotten into this band Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time, and about half of Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow is spectacular while the other half is just pretty good. ordered In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 off of Amazon today and I'm planning on snagging The Second Stage Turbine Blade, Year of the Black Rainbow, and t
welcome back Weezer. Everything Will Be Alright in the End surpassed my expectations and lived up to the hype. best album they've done in at least a decade.
in honor of the late Scott Weiland, last week I ordered the remaining albums I needed for my collection by Stone Temple Pilots, the band he was best known for as well as one of my favorite bands of all time. the final album arrived today. from top to bottom: - Core - Purple - Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop - No. 4 - Shangri-La Dee Da - Thank You (CD+DVD limited edition; greatest hits compilation also featuring an exclusive track, of which

no, you cannot. because it's not a choice, it's not open to debate or opinion, and if you """disagree""" with a harmless, intrinsic, unchanging part of who somebody is, you are not only objectively wrong but also kind of a bigot. it's like if I told you that I "disagree" with your race and it makes me uncomfortable for you to be so "overt" about it. that would be a little thing called racism, just like what you're talking about is a little thing called homophobia. please take your harmful,
