for the last time, this is NOT something that is open to opinion or disagreement. there is NO CHOICE involved here, it is NOT just a "lifestyle". you cannot disagree with cold hard facts - not without being objectively WRONG. additionally, people telling you why you are wrong is NOT oppression. how dare you continue to insist you know or face oppression over this. you DO NOT. please educate yourself.
I got Payday: The Heist from a friend and then I crafted some cards and got a backpack expander and an item and a name tag in TF2 that's it that's all I don't buy video games much
hey yeah why not so I have a new job, and that's been basically consuming my life it kinda sucks but it pays pretty well for what it is I guess I just got my first paycheck and I already spent like 1/4 of it though, probably shouldn't do that lol also I had to call off work a couple days ago because I've been sick. still feel pretty bad but hopefully I'll be fine to work tomorrow not really closer to any of my goals yet but I guess this is a start at least so yeah that's that. that's
"For Those of You Who Kill" by Aftershock! Aftershock was a pioneering underground metalcore band active during the late 90s/early 2000s and perhaps best known for featuring several future members of Killswitch Engage, including guitarist Joel Stroetzel, former drummer Tom Gomes, and most notably lead guitarist and primary songwriter Adam Dutkiewicz. in addition to Adam, however, Aftershock also featured his brother Toby Dutkiewicz on vocals - who, as I detailed here, is now known for being
since I mentioned the Pumpkins in my last post, I figured why not. top to bottom: - Gish - Lull EP - Siamese Dream - Pisces Iscariot - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - 1979 single (the B-sides on this are fantastic) - Zero EP - Adore - MACHINA/The Machines of God - {Rotten Apples} Greatest Hits (my first Pumpkins album) - Zeitgeist (Best Buy exclusive deluxe edition) - Oceania owned but not pictured: - MACHINA II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music (digital-only release) -
no jokes this time and I'll probably keep it relatively brief and casual cuz I'm just too tired lots of great new music came out in the past couple weeks. there was the new Katatonia last week which is currently my AotY, and then this week new Architects and Thrice both of which are pretty killer. dude at the record store sold me the former a day earlier than the release date which is pretty cool. meanwhile I've been trying to work out a new organizational/storage system for my 750+ CDs and th
instead of a full collection update, this is just something I got that I find particularly cool. about a month ago I ordered a pair of CDs by the Japanese rock band The GazettE, imported straight from Japan. today, they both arrived. on the left is Dim and on the right is Division (the Batman symbol isn't part of the artwork, that's just the reflection of my shirt) the coolest of the two is definitely Dim, which I got in the 2-disc limited edition. it comes packaged in a hologram slipcase
goes for like $50+ on Amazon and eBay, got it for five bucks because of saved-up Kmart rewards points. last one they had in stock in an otherwise completely cleaned-out section of Star Wars merch.
no pictures yet, but last night I picked up Michael Jackson's double studio/compilation album HIStory: Past, Present and Future Book I on CD for $4 from a local music shop, thus completing my Epic Records-era Michael Jackson collection (with the exception of 2001's Invincible which is non-essential and frankly not very good). here's one of my favorite tracks from the studio album portion of HIStory, titled HIStory Continues, which is Jackson's excellent cover of The Beatles' "Come Together":
upon receiving A Taste of Extreme Divinity in the mail today, I've pretty much completed my Hypocrisy collection. I'm still missing some things - like their first three albums which are different in style and just not as good in my opinion, and both versions of the band's horrible attempt at cashing in on the nu-metal craze with Catch 22 - but all of the core albums in the band's discography that display their unique mix of death metal, melody, spacey atmospherics, and lyrical themes obsessed wi
everything I hoped it would be and more. definitely met the 2+ years of hype I built for myself around it and definitely the best movie I've seen all year.
I said I'd pop back in on special occasions and I think this counts a couple weeks ago I dropped $40 on a copy of Machinae Supremacy's rare, out-of-print Redeemer (Underground Edition) CD. this was an independently-released limited run version of their second album that was only available through their website and has long since been discontinued, featuring a different mix and an alternate tracklist to its more common major label retail counterpart. they rarely ever show up for sale anywhere s
every time I listen to this song by The Cure, I feel as though all light and joy is drained from my very soul like seriously how can one song be so full of complete and utter despair

so my 2013 Album of the Year, Seattle alternative hip-hop artist Sadistik's phenomenal sophomore album Flowers for My Father, is available to download for free from the Fake Four label Bandcamp today only. I encourage everybody to check it out, regardless of your feelings on the genre. it's an incredible, beautiful piece of work and one of the realest and most emotional albums I've ever heard.
