content aside: this thing is a visual monster. such great imagery, so many stunning scenes. lots of creativity here. i appreciate this movie a lot because i dont give a fuck about marilyn monroe but for some reason this movie made me give a fuck about her. ana plays her part pretty great, i didnt mind the spoiler: click to read, i think they are shocking for a good reason. its fictional also. i dont know why people are saying this is some stain on marilyn's legacy, description literally says fictional. but even if it wasnt i also dont really see this as glorifying her suffering. its a very emotional portrayal of it, hardly any kind of corrupt capitalization on it. amazing ending.

had band practice, then my friend and i recorded some noise and watched this. pretty cool stuff, i only superficially looked into sun ra before, so there was a lot of new insight here that i appreciated. i liked his message a lot. his concerns were political but in a way beyond what humans are concerned with. lots of great clips of performances here too (particularly the organ solo).

what a surprise! i was really not expecting this to be as good as it was. brendan fraser does a really wonderful job here, as does the rest of the cast. i dont really mind ellie's character at all, i know a lot of people are complaining about how forced the "edgy teen" thing is but i didnt really see it as a problem. to be honest i thought it was done rather well. i also dont really understand how this was 'fatphobic' in any way. yeah hes fat, thats kind of a big part of the movie, is it just supposed to ignore that? i dont really think hes made out at all to be a bad guy or anything for being fat, his size definitely is contributing to his heart problems, but its not really like the message of the movie was Dont be fat go work out stop eating. whatever. also caught me off guard how religious this movie was. not a bad thing at all though, i liked it. the ending was stellar. reminded me of spoiler: click to read. i hope eventually we can get some alternate posters though lol

aube: pretty cool mv, a nice more relaxing song to start things off. incapacitants: inspiring, i love these dudes so much. while there isnt much visually going on, the spirit and energy poor through the screen. i dont even think all the knob turning and pedal switching is doing anything but it doesnt matter. dislocation: its okay. video was cooler than the audio. masonna: goated ass performance and stellar editing here. what i would give to see him live in his prime. seed mouth: creepy audio, creepy video. not too substantial but it wasnt bad VOG: it was okay. probably my least favorite here. i see it as a silly interlude i guess solmania: equally as inspiring as incapacitants. reminds me of quarantine too. i really should look into this guy more merzbow: fucking ridiculous lol, and to top it off theres a mf just pissing 💀 cccc: wished it was a live vid, but the music is great and video isnt bad either hijokaidan: awesome ass performance, good music. forever following in their footsteps.

now that ive finished like, all the music i wanted to listen to for this year, i decided maybe in my extra time until the new year i tackle some of these 2+ hr releases i have saved.
pretty fun album. if you know any of the remix originals then listening to the remixes will be really fun. you can kind of hear cosecant get more and more comfortable and risky with these remixes. first one is rather basic and about what youd expect, but the last one is way left field crazy. my fav was ftl, its just such a banger and they kept looping all the good parts. honestly my least fav was the original piece in the middle.

i forgot to rate this a few days ago. my friends band. really fun poppy stuff. lots of lore here but i dont feel like typing it all out. theres a few songs i wish were on here that arent.
also, you may have noticed (im writing this a day or so later), but i changed my scale. its centered around 3.0 now. ive been feeling like i needed to do this for a long time, but i wasnt sure until now i guess. i needed some kind of rating above 4 and below 4.5, so even though i dont like how 3 as a center sounds, it makes the most sense. this means ill also grade a bit harsher on average. 2.5 is sort of a neutral, before it was a negative score for me. i also now have a 0.5! i was really tired going through the changed ratings, so theres a chance i didnt readjust something. be patient while i continue to finely sift through my new scores to get stuff looking more appropriate

i was originally gonna just wait to get to this and work through their discog first, but that cover is way too fire to ignore for any longer. also they lowkey got a big discog so ill do that later.
about what i expected, but way more addictive than i was anticipating. while the opener is cool and crazy, i wish it was like 1 minute. skip every time. the next three tracks though are really catchy creative and technical songs that i like a lot. starting at crumb the middle section of the album is kinda whatever but it picks up after that and ends on two great tracks, one weezer sounding ass one and a dope little remix. overall really great, though im hesitant to give it a crazy high score, we’ll see with relistens

when will she miss. massive runtime, but feels quick thanks to lots of shorter tracks. also wildly entertaining so it never really drags. that said it is kind of front loaded - a lot of the tracks towards the end are more noisy droning experiments rather than danceable flashcore jams. i still like noisy drones though

overhated, certainly the worst in the series so far, but far from a terrible movie. i liked ben's character, he was good comedic relief, and i think that there was still quite a bit of creativity for being 4 films deep into this. as big an ad as the kinect placement was, it was kind of cool to see how it was used. there are glaring issues though, but honestly my main problem is that it kind of felt lazy/didnt live up to its predecessor's scare potential. its more thrilling, really. ending was cool af tho

i really didnt expect this to be as bad as it was. pretty hollow shit. about as thin as it gets really. sfx were cool, fights were cool i guess, and i think jared did the best with what he had. i dont think hes a bad actor, he just chooses the worst roles to play.

idrg the release, is this literally just a playlist that alice put out through a label and called a va comp? i mean i doubt she got any kind of agreements between her label and any of these bands to be purposely featured on this. i forsee this being removed from rym. alas, i will rate it anyway.
lots of really great tracks on here, little glimpses of teenagers and kids making emotional shitわ and having fun expressing themselves in serious, sometimes silly ways. its got a lot of colour i think. great track picks.

another noisy guitar record. i dont remember much of grandeur of hair - i plan on relistening soon - but from what i do recall, this is much different. way closer to sludge metal/doom metal stuff, honestly sounds a lot like dopethrone at times lol, especially with the vocals. i remember the drums being pretty weak, and thats still the case here. very fun record, and honestly im considering a high ass score, but i think i wanna hear grandeur again first, to gauge which of the two i like more or equally think they are both worthy of a 4.

really cool stuff. very stimulating.
allegedly the info on this is totally inaccurate (just read some rym comments). got me thinking about the ethics of these western releases of african "field recordings". ive read that that one very famous label (cant remember name rn, brian chippendale got one of their records in lightning bolts Whats in My Bag) doesnt pay any of the artists they 'field record', and then i read from the label that they do everything they can to, but its really difficult cuz they just have the recording and they cant exactly track down the artists. but then im thinking, recording without consent? do the artists you record even realize what is going on? surely it cant be that hard to record them and ask for their names. i would much rather know some kind of name or something for a track that obviously has a huge number of performers rather than just "v.a." whatever

going in i kind of suspected this would be the worst so far, but it was still good no doubt. set in the 80s (with very very little care for being historically accurate...) its a prequel to the... prequel? lol, but its actually still a worthy entry into the series. still brimming with creativity, the oscillating fan technique and ever so slight foray into special effects (i promise they do it well - it doesnt suck) keep up the spirit of low budget high reward found footage horror. this movie does lack what i mentioned earlier, though: historical accuracy. seriously, digital HD on cameras in the 80s? the house doesnt even look like an 80s house, only the babysitter and randy looked at all like they would be from this time period, and there is no way in hell anyone that only works a wedding camera guy job would be able to afford this much of this shit.

so glad i finally treated myself to this. obviously daunting given the runtime, but really i just didnt care much for ag cook ever. i liked some of his work on other artists' stuff, hannah diamond, the 100 gecs remix, but he wasnt really compelling enough a figure for me to do 2.7 hours of work on. the other month though my friend played A-Z and 2021 from here and those alone were convincing enough for me to check it out.
quite the crowning achievement i think. i could probably write a short essay about this album. its brimming with "fun"; listening to this all i can think of is the music making process; i can so clearly see him just having fun writing songs and fleshing them out. this album to me feels like a testament to the joy of creation, for your own sake and no one elses. a 50 track album at almost 3 hours long? whos funding this but ag cook himself? the format says something too to me. its got a shyness insecurity to it. "heres 50 tracks" so you dont pay attention to any of them too closely: youre just looking at the runtime and giving up. its captures that fear of criticism, which is so important in music as an artist. but whats so great about this release is how consistently great it is, despite his insecurities and its exhausting length. so many great gems, electronic and rock alike, hidden throughout this thing. presents for anyone willing to look hard enough. a lot of comments on this mention how unfinished songs sound, and while i do agree that a lot of tracks on here arent as fully realized as some of his more popular works are, i think that just adds to it. because the tracks are still GOOD. its like, this exciting potential hearing all of this, like your best friend showing you a ton of tracks they're too scared to release and they never get around to fully finishing them. i dont know, i find it quaint. im definitely going to be looking at his other releases after this, though. along with gupi, probably the only other genuinely talented artist to come out of the 2020 hyperpop explosion.

two of harsh noise's most absurd figures battle it out (or join forces?) in the dopest split of all time. the most interesting part about this alternating track set up is that you get a really good idea of the contrasts between the two artists styles. masonna is much bigger, closer to full on harsh noise, while prurient stays a lot closer to his lofi power electronics roots. super great stuff, much better than the prurient merzbow release we got earlier this year.

overall story: its okay. i dont really care about it, id rather it be a bit more straightforward. why do they say the n word
first: great casting for the girl, cool concept. my girlfriend would really like this one. i didnt like the cg at the end second: maybe the best one. good acting awesome concept, the twist was so cool, and the scenes where spoiler: click to read are super creepy. third: pretty weak story but the idea is kind of cool. idc ab slashers so fourth: second best? really mysterious, would love to learn more about whatever the fuck is going on here. fifth: uh its cool but im the most indifferent towards it.

honestly just too long. an hour, an hour 20, wouldve probably been great. crazy potential, the lofi is real harsh and sometimes too harsh but its kind of cool and comfy in a way. the audio was a bit fucky, ruined immersion a bit for me, and honestly just a little too experimental. there was some pretty scary bits though. if you get creeped out by liminal spaces this is probably really horrific

they did it again. somehow they managed to make a flop of a title track but make the second track the best on the ep. freaky is also good, and really cheshire is like a grower - at least it isnt like sneakers - but christ i wish they didnt include that shitty teen song at the end. really i could raise my score on this and i probably will later but it is what it is for now

lowkey a bit more scary than the first one, but i think that has to do with the security camera mindset. i appreciate that they also used security cameras in this movie, just to kind of further explore the idea of found footage. pretty awesomely ties into the first one. i like how randomly feminist these movies have been so far lol

im probably going to be rating a few of these longer hnw releases in the coming future. my new job im able to inconspicuously wear my headphones, so i now magically have quite a bit of time to listen to them. that said they are all hnw so i dont really have a lot to say about them. probably just going to fill these entries with personal things if i dont have much to say about the music.
i work in a freezer for most of the day. honestly the hardest part is how cold my hands get. no other part of my body i really feel any pain from (maybe my feet, but i dont care about that really). my fingertips have been numb for about 3 days now, not even kidding lol. not all of them, but some. im getting better at lasting a longer time in there though, its sort of a mental game in a way. you gotta hype yourself up before heading in.

ultimately its he said she said, i cant say anything is for certain, but i do find it hard to believe lars is the kind of dude to do something physically so evil. not gonna discount bjorks claims tho, lars is weird asf she had to have been at least uncomfortable for most of that shooting.

lars is such a great writer. bjork does a great job in this, quite an impressive performance, especially considering the tensions on set and whatnot. the music was genuinely quite moving, i almost cried during a few songs. the ending was very sad. i think the only thing i didnt like was the song they played in the courtroom

continuing the lars homework.
i wasnt super excited at first to get into this, im kind of tired of the dogme stuff and im really just waiting for more real ‘movies’ like breaking the waves or whatever. but i still went into it open minded.
i think its a compelling piece of work. surprisingly political, and maybe a bit inspiring, but i couldnt really connect to it on an emotional level (save for the last scene… jeez). its also kind of a bit distasteful that in order to “combat the fascists!” they act mentally disabled? idk, some filthy frank shitわ. it didnt bug me a lot but its just like alright lol. that said i really liked a lot of the cast on this. they all did a good job, even at being mentally disabled

wildly creative and provocative. i think “pointless shock” isnt an accurate description of this. its real; if you check out the bonus behind the scenes clip you can see that moodysson just let them do whatever they wanted. its fucked up because people are fucked up. the structure was super cool and kept the whole thing exciting, and i found the emotionally impactful scenes to be… well emotionally impactful. say what you want about pornography is evil… i think there is some of that here, but mainly this is just the intersection between 4 terribly fucked up lives.

quite the achievement. lars is such a wonderful writer, i have to wonder how he even comes up with stories as depressing as this. i love how religion is handled here. in the criterion essay about the film the writer remarks that no one in the story is 'bad', everyone is 'good', and misfortune falls upon the characters as their different visions of 'good' clash. i like that point of view quite a bit. i also really sympathized for jan. so seriously depressing is immobility with nothing left in life to live for. i think it is something i fear quite a bit, there isnt even a way to kill yourself at that point. the ending, while not the greatest in terms of cg, is honestly very moving and heartwarming. a bonus, i really liked the panoramic stills between each chapter.

pretty fun little documentary. all of the obstructed versions are in their own right each very interesting and fun to watch. leth is clearly very talented, and it looks like they both had lots of fun making this. theres some further interpretation that lars touches on in the movie about deconstructing himself or his mentor or whatever, i dont really care about that or have the energy to so deeply analyze something like this. fine if you want, but it doesnt affect how i enjoyed this.

2 of 4.
i was tempted to watch the first sequel, but honestly idrc and i like this ones poster more. its a lot like the first one, its about the main girls brother going back to find her, but is way higher production quality with a larger cast and a lot more modern horror scare elements. the first 2/3rds of this thing is really worthless, pretty lame acting from everyone except maybe lane and talia, and just generally quite grating to sit through. the ear cameras feel so lame, like some secret agent shit lol. however the last 30 minutes of this really pick up and are very fun and exhilarating and also genuinely a bit scary. they expand a lot on the universe of the blair witch, with both lore and with actual spooky shit going on, and the much larger production value was put to really good use here because we see a lot of great special effects and shit going on.
along with apollo 18, this was another movie whose trailer scared me a lot as a kid

october 2022
and for some reason i have 4 movies left to watch for october and today is the last day. so 4 movies in one day it is!
ive always wanted to watch this. when it first came out when i was 10 or 11, i was super scared of the trailer, and i believed it to be real lol. obv it isnt. it also is not scary at all i think. theres a lot of potential i think but they kind of fall short at being anything more than "cool ig" for most of the runtime. while the constant switching of camera styles and quality looks nice its honestly really jarring and hurts any kind of immersion you could get watching this. for a found footage movie, this is insanely high production. the reveal is kind of cool, i like the design of the aliens. but honestly theres just hardly anything that makes this worthwhile. i will say i do like the visuals though, and i think all of the actors do a good job. the technical jargon sounds hella spot on too. i know i just roasted tf out of it but its honestly not HORRIBLE, theres just quite a bit to complain about.

Tár (2022)october 2022
the only exception during my october horror movie streak. my friend wanted to see it with me, and even though i didnt want to break my streak, this look really interesting and exciting, so i said fuck it why not.
quite a compelling and well done movie. even though its definitely really slow and certainly boring at times, i think that it really kind of snowballs as it goes and just gets more exciting, and visually is really nice, so even when nothings happening i was pleased with what i was looking at. i think they did a really good job showing lydia's progression from the most respectable and accomplished female composer to just a hollow shell of herself. sort of a slow turn of a rock in the dirt, what is so inconspicuous and clean on top is covered in insects and mud underneath. the music was also very good. occasionally funny (maybe just to me), and they play around a lot with surrealism very effectively, which i very much appreciated.
my friend also freestyled for most of this which i think enhanced my experience.

finally finally FINALLY starting this. the poster for h2 is so good ive been so excited to watch these.
really awesome movie i think. i think the shitty acting from the first half is excusable because it just feels fun to me. a lot of this movie is like that i think. i feel like i can tell rob was having a lot of fun with the source material and carrying out his own vision of it, but he also knew how to balance that with some artistic integrity and not make some kind of flop he wasnt proud of. while it certainly has "fun" written across it, its also oozing with passion. also michael is fucking awesome and badass and im so excited to watch h2.

after watching this (with my buddies) and the original grudge, i can safely say that if there is a japanese horror movie and there also exists and american remake, the american remake will just be better. or at least more suited to my tastes. i know this movie wanted to do the whole thing where its less "scary" and more character/story driven, but that also means its super boring. and somehow, despite aiming to be MORE story driven, it actually feels less complete than the remake. they skim over quite a bit of what i would think are key details to the mystery, and you dont even get to find out why its called the ring! not only did the remake do a much better job at being scary but it also had a much more deep and interesting mystery-solving process, looked way more aptly gloomy and depressing, and properly explained as much as it needed to. still though its a fine movie, and the actual ring character looks way cooler here than in the remake.

twas alright. on paper its half exorcism half legal drama but in reality its mostly the legal drama. the exorcism bits were fine, and the outcome of the legal side of things makes sense, but really its all just so boring if you arent like hella invested (i cant imagine why unless you were alive and paying attention during the actual court case this is based on). they also tried to do this thing where the evil spirits also were affecting anyone involved in the court case, but like they just kind of bring it up and then throw a bunch of boring shit at your face until you forget it even happened.
rating: 3.0, in all seriousness its a fine movie. just really boring i think. |

actually really liked this a lot. its very visually consistent, it builds a really sound world and is decently scary i think. i like that they made it a world with lots of rules and they stuck to that pretty solidly (almost police procedural the way the psychics handle the case) and it was a pretty real feeling story i guess (as real as an ultra haunted house requiring an exorcism can be). i kind of wish they maybe did something else with the spoiler: click to read subplot, like it kind of is mentioned at the beginning then not touched on until the VERY end, and like nothing happens with it even when it is acknowledged, but i guess they saved that for the rest of the movies they knew they'd end up making?

went over to a buddies house and watched this with him and our other friends. afterwards we ate waffelhouse and walked a park at night. fun night.
this is pretty silly. its fun to experience with your friends for sure, but id be super bored if i watched this on my own. lots of boobs, which is a plus. also kind of interesting story i suppose (its a bit stupid how they wrote it but the idea is chill). it didnt really give me a lot of reason to hella invest myself in.

pretty awesome. they toned down the contrast a lot between their post rock and screamo bits, so now its all kind of this very hazy posthardcore stuff that is either really spacey and free or wicked aggressive and roomy. also suuch a crazy strong 5 track opening run.

much cooler than scream. ive read that this had an ultra low budget. it certainly looks like it. its got a very good atmosphere i think, and its honestly a lot funnier than i think it was originally intended to be. not a whole lot of graphic violence (the most disturbing scene is probably spoiler: click to read) which is a huge plus if u dont like looking at that stuff.

october 2022
start of october, so to kick it off we are doing scary movies all month! gonna try to watch 31 new scary movies, and also revisit some ive already seen.
ive already sort of started the event before this. i went to see A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night in theatres, and then i finished season 1 of Lars Von Trier's tv miniseries Riget. this movie kind of sucks. its an okay premise but it focuses so much on character backstory and whatnot that it feels like its 3 hours. the whole "meta" shtick gets really annoying especially towards the end when youre just waiting for it to end but it has to keep reminding you that its self aware or something. it also didnt help that you can literally tell from the beginning what the twist is. i like how ghostface's mask looks.

we went to see a girl walks home alone at night in theatres to kick off october. its so awesome, i raised my score to an 8.
this is pretty good. a good mix of bangers and more reserved melodic tracks. however, i think that the 2nd half is really unengaging because theres a lot less bangers and its more of the melodic stuff i mentioned earlier. still good tho

as i said earlier, 35mm showing. honestly, super glad i went to see it like that. the greatest strength of this movie is how visually pleasing it looks, and im sure seeing it in 35mm made that even better. the first hour is filled with great shots, very nice colours and the sfx werent terrible either. really good pacing. i have no fucking clue what happened for the last 30 minutes but basically everything that you could like about this was thrown out the window. some points for the guts to do that though

i actually never wanted to watch this originally, but i realized 7th and 71 were 2/3rds of his glaciation trilogy and this was the last one. with the criterion box announced i decided to check it out.
its definitely the weakest of the three. still very visually impressive but it works opposite the other two: the major burst of energy happens so early on that theres no more anticipation for me after, and the story didnt feel as interesting enough to me to make sitting through those slow paced stills very rewarding. i think it is still good though

the only record that pops up on this i havent heard is racket but only one track from it shows up, so i decided to listen thru anyway. really amazing, it just kind of loses its momentum around cut hands, that track and every after it are just slower or less intense. daddo is a good closer though

this, along with the next 4 film entries, i watched with my buddy.
fantastic stuff. haneke knows how to at the very minimum make something really visually appealing. “every shot is a wallpaper”. very cool story too, i think. the mundaneness of the first two parts is made up for by the awesome epicness of the last part. literally just watching people spoiler: click to read for like 10 minutes its genius really. great ending. i love how much he leaves unanswered.

"a much more true-to-text adaptation rather than an artsy-reimagining. that isn’t to say Haneke is completely restricting himself, though. the narration, for instance, is a rather nice touch. incessant, confusing and unnecessary, it isn’t too dissimilar to the strange and absurd bureaucracy Kafka had originally intended to explore. i’m also fine with the ending. any sort of further interpretation would’ve just felt pointless and insincere." from my letterboxd.

Interview, Radio Broadcast Recordings, Audio Documentary sexual, crime, disturbing
september 2022
a radio interview with a female necrophile. guests include an expert on vampirism (as a fetish?), an expert on edgar allen poe, a licensed sex therapist, among others. there is about 10-15 minutes of music that plays after the interview which i did not listen to.
genuinely a bit eye opening. not that im pro necrophilia now, but i thought it was very interesting to hear her reasons behind what she does. she takes a spiritual approach to it, and it seems like it is much less sexual than the term "necrophile" would imply. i really enjoyed the guests as well, the vampire expert and edgar allen poe expert. i thought they both had great chemistry with her and generally offered quite a bit of insight from their respective angles. the sm dating service dude was chill too; i really didnt like the sex therapist or host, the latter would not stop interrupting her and both were generally very close minded. not to say they have to agree with her or anything but i mean you invited her on your show, how are you going to continuously misunderstand her and shut her down?

josh lewis on letterboxd puts it pretty well: "spoiler: click to read" well made/produced, good acting, but for lack of a better description its just a really easy target for muh a24 atmo horror and doesnt offer a whole lot to defend itself with. also, the spoiler: click to read! all that said though i really didnt think it was bad at all, just not very compelling or super interesting. certainly entertaining, and there were a few nice ideas i really appreciated.

i made a list w her for movies to watch during october, mostly horror movies, but we decided to dip our toes in early with this one and the next.
this wasnt as scary as i was expecting, it was pretty cool. feels very 2002 for sure but thats okay. love how muted a lot of the colours are, the twist at the very end was nice too. gonna eventually watch the original (probably during october). the mystery elements were fun too, to watch her unravel what each piece of the video meant like a detective.

pretty cool imo. acting was good all around, does a good job of being a period movie without forcing it down my throat, lovely colours and cinematography, and i think it explains and obscures just the right amount of stuff to make it very engaging to watch. would be fun to rewatch. i dont love the ending, feels very oooh a24 psych horror crazy wow but its still chill.

second and last day in san antonio. we woke up early and went to a record/dvd store. i bought this and two other things there. we got to the convention at like 1 and stayed till about 4:30. less awesome stuff there but the prices were way lower. i ended up getting a CD and the blu ray for Squid Girl s1s2+ovas. was gonna get an asuka figure to match my rei one but i decided not to cuz i couldnt find the right version. drive home was chill. oh we also got to witness the monarch butterfly migration and we ate at peter pipers pizza which was cool. |

september 2022
yes, a triple feature! our hosts tapped out for this one.
first half is definitely weak, but i still appreciated its creativity. i was really confused because going in i was under the assumption it would be sort of rape-and-revenge esque (it is, but in a very different way) but it kind of masks as some weird supernatural horror thing with one of the girls seeing some kind of monster demon. second half is awesome, and the climax is crazy as crap. nice ending too
rating: 3.5 |

september 2022
we also watched this. the experience was very funny because our host and his gf would not stop talking at all. like literally not a single second went by without either movie commentary or unrelated normal conversation. bro also brought out his accordion to play along w the one in the movie lmfao.
luckily we had subtitles though. im not really sure what to comment on for this movie. its sort of slice of life shit, theres an underlying plot sort of, story i mean, that it follows, but it is still really free form and just does whatever. every scene feels great and natural, feels like a very real snapshot of what it aims to depict. i think i might prefer it to julien but im not sure. i like the use of both lofi footage and more standard high quality footage. great amazing soundtrack as well. if i think of something else i may add it to this entry.

our host bought this for like 15$ (steal!) so we watched it together. its definitely not the most engaging, will have a awesome 5 minute slaughter scene then exposition dialogue for 30 minutes, but i still found the story pretty interesting even if it wasnt hella engaging, and the animation overall is very nice. i didnt mind the cg at all really, though our buddy seemed to quite a bit. ending was good, would have probably been more moving if i was way more invested, and i liked how the movie paralleled red riding hood but kind of spun it its own way.

so when we got to our hotel we actually found out that he had booked it for october 2-4, not september lol. so we just crashed at his friends house for the weekend instead. we slept on the mildly uncomfortable but surprisingly tolerable floor of his apartment. he has two very nice and cute cats that we enjoyed while there.
our first day at the convention was fun. we got there around 12 and ate food in the mall, then walked around the dealer area for quite a while. i decided to buy the blu ray of this for 25$, that was (from my brief research) about the average price for it online. my friend bought 処女のはらわた [Guts of a Virgin] (on his dvd it says "entrails" instead of guts; curious...). we watched a pose-off contest with his friend his friends girlfriend and her friend (who were cosplaying as Cami and Lollipop Chainsaw, respectively). afterward we got food again in the mall and went home. we watched some movies together (read further above) and then went to sleep. |

fuck you de0th for the rec
this is literally the worst thing ive ever heard. encompasses every trope of metal that i find to be annoying and grating. devoid of soul and 4 feet up its own ass. on top of that this is almost an hour long, and they even had the audacity to include a vocoded acapella track.
it also probably didnt help that i had such an awful day at work while listening to this but i dont think loving my boss wouldve really changed my opinion that much on this

this past weekend i went to oakland, california with my friends. originally, we were going to see sematary and the haunted mound’s first live show. unfortunately though they all got covid (except maybe hackle?) and it was cancelled. we were too close to the date though to cancel our hotel and flight tickets so we went anyway and tried to make the most of it.
our first day was chill, after a flight to vegas, hooters, and a flight to oakland, we got to our hotel and kinda just went to bed early. next day was bigger, we got ready early and went to china town. had some good food there and took lots of pics. we hit up a thrift store and record shop too. later that night we watched a movie and i got liquor for my buddies who drank. it was fun. the next day was our last day but our flight back to vegas wasnt until 11pm so we went into san mateo and walked around a nice mall and some of the neighbourhoods. flights home were pretty uneventful. overall pretty fun but def wouldve been nicer if sem didnt get sick lol
anyway, i got a copy of this at the record shop. i originally was gonna get the regular cd release but it ended up being damaged so i had to exchange it for a special promo version that has like a plain white cover with no info on it lol. still cool ig lol |

while i did love how great this looked, how great the acting was, and how creative the story was, i just didnt love it as much as everyone else seemed to. it felt very very on the nose about its symbolism (not that thats bad, just coming out of antichrist i expected a bit more subtlety or creativity) and i just didnt really care about the story beyond its uniqueness. idk, i think it just failed to touch me on a deeper level. certainly if i was battling intense depression or anxiety on a frequent basis i might have been moved more but that isnt the case.

my friend and i start our trip to colorado today. we arent going for any real reason other than i was bored and wanted to lol. our first stop was amarillo, about a 7 hour drive. we stopped in a nice little airbnb house in a rather poor looking area lol (feels super sketchy), but it was actually pretty nice. everything is walking distance away, like walmart and whataburger, so we just walked whenever we needed stuff. we watched elephant (he hated it) and this.
great amazingness. the politics sucked, china and russia bad, america good! but they carry very little weight for me as to whether or not i truly liked/disliked this. amazing concept, great acting from amy, and i loved the spoiler: click to read and the emotional weight of her discovery and whatever. lovely sad amazing stuff. also loved the aliens, fire as fuck.

wedding was chill. my stomach has been hurting hellishly for the entire trip though so that really sucked. happy for my step sister though. i did a handstand on the beach, that was awesome as fuck.
this was really insane. i really loved all the cinematography, thought the camerawork was great, loved the scenery, lighting, settings, all the visuals. the little title cards were good too. great audio and soundtrack, felt genuinely scary at times (it actually influenced a nightmare of mine that night lol), and i really enjoyed the concept. great pacing, amazing acting and dialogue, i love how dark it all was and it wasnt meaningless either. this movie puts lars in a position that makes it easy to write him off as someone exploiting women’s sufferings but i actually think he handles the subject matter well enough to not be held to those claims. he does a good job showing that men have their evils as well, and it is not so much that women are “evil”, as much as it is women are troubled and hurt. i believe it was his intention to make her the central victim, though it doesnt really come across that way on the surface.
as a side note, i sincerely hate (almost) each and every reviewer of this movie. after sifting through about 20-30 reviews, i can safely say that just about none of you (letterboxd users included) understood or cared to understand virtually anything about this movie. pull up any review, positive or negative, they all say the same thing. “Lars is bad, this movie was crazy, i loved/hated it.” Seriously, go look through every review of this. there are a small, small handful of reviews that actually talk about the movie and aspects of it that were enjoyable or unlikeable.

it was my step sister’s wedding this weekend, so most of my immediate family had travelled down to galveston for it. i watched this in the car on the way there.
i can see why this movie is important and i respect it for its historical value. however, i think it hasnt really aged all that well outside of a few really great things. most of the acting sucks, and no one except for norman and marie are good, deep characters worth caring about. i also lowkey dont really even like the soundtrack, and the infamous shower scene is not even that crazy lol, it looks a bit stupid even. i did really like the exposition scene at the end though, i feel that for a 1960s movie a scene like that is important to clear the air around mental health shitわ because im sure most people would just assume norman was inherently a really evil evil guy and all people suffering from DID are evil or something.

went with a few friends to the theatres to see this.
i was pretty excited to watch this, it looked really silly and fun. luckily for me i was right. lots of funny moments and it was really well paced and there was always something silly but not irrelevant going on so i never lost focus/attention. lots of memorable bits and scenes, a tad bit totally unrealistic (i mean seriously, no employees noticed the pools of blood and glass all over the train?) but who cares, its fun lol. good ending and i actually really enjoyed the ladybug symbolism and the deeper philosophies of the older asian man.

lovely cover. alright music. ml6 was great (wish it was way harsher though, maybe i’ll go and “remix” it later), but nothing else really stood out to me as memorable. while its definitely all still decent, it teeters between enjoyable or tolerable to totally boring and uninteresting.
rating: 3.0. due to recent conversations with my peers i will from now on try to be a bit more precise and decisive in my reasonings for 3.0 ratings. i usually just say something sucks and i hated it for a 3.0, but that’s inaccurate and if i really hated it it would be a 2.5 or lower. so from now on there will be better justifications on ratings in that tier. |

went over to my friends house after work to hang out and watch a movie. i got them all drinks and afterward we ended up making silly beats and they did some freestyles on them lol it was fun and silly. first all nighter ive pulled in a while.
firstly, one of, if not the, greatest opening scene of all time. literally boobs and skrillex. the number of skrillex tracks in this movie was actually surprisingly large and it made me feel like a little kid again getting giddy and jumping in my seat lol. i love the hazy story telling and editing, and even though the story itself wasnt very awesome i think the treatment of it was which makes up for it. really enjoyed the montages as well. alien’s arc was cool, he was a surprisingly more complex character than i had expected. this movie also surprisingly passes the becheldel test lol

lovely little horror mockumentary with lots of found footage elements. genuinely pretty creepy, and doesnt have to rely at all on jumpscares, violence and whatnot (spoiler: click to read). while the acting did feel a bit... strange... at times, i have to assume its kind of what they were going for given its supposed to be like a documentary and the characters are being filmed and you get it. i also love how the film handles the ghost concept - supernatural beings clinging onto something in the physical that need their own closure in order to move beyond this life. the scene where spoiler: click to read was brilliant. im almost considering 4 stars for that alone.

went with two friends of mine to see this. i decided to go to this one theatre for nostalgia reasons - a long time ago, i went with two other friends (now ex-) to this same theatre to see Hot Summer Nights and had an amazing warm night - and randomly picked this one because id heard good things about it.
it was pretty good, a nice little isolated story with a creepy premise and good resolution. there are obviously some problems with it that require some sort of suspension from, but i dont mind doing that, especially when the positive content is so enthralling on its own. my biggest gripe though is the unfortunate centerpiece of the whole thing: the child acting. our main two children do a really good job on their own, but for some reason anytime any other children are present in the scene, its like they all started acting a day before shooting started. i dont mean this too deeply of course, theyre just children, but it did still hurt the film a bit i think. oh well. i can get over it.

fine, i suppose. about an hour of air conditioning/vacuum walls. has a slow pace to it, and while its definitely not awful/bad, i cant really bring myself to love it. it feels lazy, novel, and hollow. i dont condone the concept, 'you suffer' is an important song from an important band, even if the idea is novel it would still be fun to listen to a great execution of it. 'great' is the keyword though. this feels paulstretchy, but even for paulstretch standards its just boring more than it is numbing. feels like a bit of a stain on hnw, like it shouldnt really be canon, if that makes any sense.

pretty much exactly what i expected. by no means bad, but i think im just over my grindcore phase. that said this does have a lot of really amazing songwriting / riffage / drumming, i recommend anyone on this site give it a listen. i can see this becoming a really important grind record in the distant future. historians can look back on this diary and call me an idiot for not loving it more.

i went over to her house and watched this w her.
for a movie that is just supposed to be silly goofy weed, its actually really well done. it does a very good job at building an authentic and exciting world; all the characters are very well written and acted. as tiring as i've found the rotating-door format can be, its pulled off very well here and it never feels inorganic. hardly a dull moment, it really nails a lot of its comedy too (which hasn't aged too terribly in my opinion). you can definitely see and feel how much fun they had while making this, which is something any great comedy needs.

well, its certainly something. overall, i am more positive than negative about this, so im going to get the negatives out of the way first.
my biggest complaint is the god awful title track. sneakers is so not what i wanted to hear from them lol. reminds me of the one song on crazy in love that i never fucking listen to. really cutesy boring and has no swag at all despite literally being about swag. my only other real complaint is just how lackluster a lot of these tracks are. they just dont hit hard. they really are all (even sneakers) fine songs, i have sat through this full thing a few times now and its not bad, but they really just dont feel exciting to listen to. what i want feels like wasted potential for such a good hook/concept, free fall is just like lol?, and domino is another whatever standard kpop track like the first one.
however, there are lots that i liked here. in (now) typical itzy fashion, the 2nd track is their new best song ever. really creative post-trap-[edm] beat with a super catchy chorus and lots of good attitude, not to mention the GENIUS use of that vocal fry shit. sounds so awesome and is so much fun to listen to. what i want reminds me of twenty/boom box, lovely beat on it with a good hook, 365 has more of that really epic trap swag from racer, and domino is pretty catchy even if im apathetic towards it. english version of sneakers is also a little better than the korean version.
so a bit of a mixed bag even if its mostly good things. we at least got 2 classics from this so im satisfied. im really pissed i didnt go and buy a cd from target when it came out but it was 26$ and i dont really need it (is what i keep telling myself).

this is on archive.org and xhamster btw. took me a while to find it lol (thx yandhi).
i was pretty on the fence about this. on one hand, its very visually pleasing, its got a great soundtrack and is quite "hypnotic" (is the word i see being used a lot) during its longer quieter sequences. on the other, a lot of it seems pretty surface, such as the flower theme and the twist at the end, and it feels ridiculously exploitative that the director is also the main character who also receives a fucking blowjob idk. however i read a really insightful review that described this as "self indulgent, but not celebratory" (paraphrase). while it is indeed some weird fantasy of vincent's acted out, it does not portray itself pridefully. it is sad and weak and whiny and pathetic, which i think is a really important takeaway from this. maybe you can see it as vincent struggling with depression and perversion.

i wasnt super sure what to expect with this, but i was definitely pleasantly surprised with what i got! really lovely glitchy spacious art pop. i love the atmosphere and aesthetic of this whole thing. as im writing this, im about 2.25 hours into the bonus track, so i wont add this to Long just yet (if its in that list, i finished the track). theres obviously a lot i can say about concluding a 45 minute album with an almost 5 hour track, but im sure most of that has already been said. personally, i not only think its a great and bold and unique decision to do so, but i also actually enjoy the track (so far). im stoked to see what else shes done, cuz apparently this sucks compared to her other works.

seriously disappointing. "messy" is really the only word i can think of listening to this. maybe "uninspired". i dont know. their debut had so much going, and they had a good start here with Girls and Illusion (both great songs), but like, what is Lingo? the sequencing of LTS > ICU > LTS ??? LOL??? and why the fuck even include black mamba, forever and dreams come true if you arent going to also include next level ????? and to just throw all of them at the end like they are bonus tracks when they could have EASILY been sequenced with everything else to make listening to this not so chaotic? i really dont know. all that said, i do really enjoy girls, illusion, LTS (eng), and dreams come true. im sure i can come around on some of the others as well. hopefully itzy can make me forget about this release when checkmate comes out.

a bunch of ppl from work went to this like cidercade, i was invited (as a friend and as a designated driver lol) too. it was chill. im a bit picky about games, even arcade games, but they had enough i enjoyed to keep me busy while everyone drank and talked. i talked a bit, but for the most part i peeled from the group and just played stuff. i did a lot of pinball because its kind of brainless and easy. this girl that went in the group kept talking to me while i was playing so i just started doing really long exposition about my opinions on pinball culture and stuff. she eventually walked away lol. i also played this little puzzle game thing (i forgot the name the image of it is below), tetris, pacman (miss pacman, actually), burgertime, and i was gonna play qbert but the arcade closed. someone challenged me to podracing lol. it was fun. afterward we all went to whataburger and talked. always weird seeing my higher-ups outside of work (esp when theyre drunk).
listened to this on the way there and back. girl from work showed me I Serve the Base and i was like wow this is actually so awesome lol so i finally tapped in. its good, theres lots of fun songs and its brainless easy drug trap so like yeah. ill probably be revisiting a lot of these for a bit. not sure if ill go deeper into his discog but i wont make any promises.

i knew beforehand that this was unanimously agreed to be his worst project. i definitely agree. its bland, the instrumentals have lost all their edge, theres no ghost mountain, and the lyrics are really uninspired. all in all it just sounds like he's working on autopilot. so as im listening to this im thinking to myself about how exactly sem can fix this, or basically where can he take his music now that its very clearly hit a hard wall. i was really wracking my brain about it - until i heard buckshots verse on scarecraw. he offers really good delivery and some really amazing lyrical content for this kind of music, it sounds genuinely awesome. i just think sematary needs to focus on being in this persona more than just what it is on the surface. in terms of acting, he has his script and his motivation, but he needs to work hard to bring that to life in order to produce some really compelling art. i compared him to bladee, i know they arent really similar, but i was just thinking how bladee has reinvented himself so much and each time he didnt have to sacrifice his artist persona; from the start till now its always been drain, hes just learned to explore drain further than anyone else could.

you already know the plot without having to watch it, but it was definitely still enjoyable. it was at the very least silly and inoffensive, and only rarely felt like it might be scraping the bottom of the barrel for content. plus its only an hour and 20 minutes, so its over pretty quick.

i went to see this with my friends just for funsies. here is a review i sent my friend from work:
i think above everything the movie was definitely intriguing. its mostly told from the perspective of elvis’ evile manager and they do a lot of weird narrative like switchups i guess where the manager is narrating but then we watch elvis live out some dream-sequence-esque crucial part of his backstory idk. it was confusing and made the first half pretty hard to follow. pacing was pretty all over the place, characters just like pop up or disappear without any introduction or sign offs. they treated the “stealing of black music” in a.. peculiar way. instead of elvis “stealing” it, he was pitted as a sort of underdog/hero i guess, where he was the only one able to bring black culture to big stages because he was so much more successful than any other black artists at the time. i dont know how accurate that is, they dont really flesh elvis out at all other than say he is good because he has family values, so at worst thats horribly untrue and at best its a shitty bias. they did do a really good job at showing in depth how elvis’ mental state began to slip later into his career and why he became violent and cynical. i still dont really care about elvis or his music but i suppose he was rather impactful and ill look optimistically at him “bringing” black culture to a bigger audience. i enjoyed one song, dont remember what it was tho. i also thought it was kind of interesting how they skimmed over the 24 year old elvis having sex with a 14 year old.

this was actually really really good. really chunky and consistent, not a whole lot of usual merzbow bullshit he does. i also lowkey dont understand why people hate on veganism so much. i get that like, christianity is annoying right because people shuv it down yr throat and its problematic and evil right but like veganism isnt that, i think its arguably a really good thing for everyone, there are diets that let u get all the protein u need and u dont have to harm animals i mean like regardless of how u look at it its just like a positive thing. its criticized for that same thing that christianity (all religion really i guess) is criticized for but again like not even close to the same thing. im rambling a bit. it just is a lingering hate from that 2016 anti sjw era, like no one is hating on "feminazi's" anymore but its still le epic funny to go to the comment box of vegan album and say I Love Meat i Will eat MEAT!!!!!! ?? ok lol. just fucking stupid imo.

watched this in my newly set up office room.
lovely movie, perfectly captures being a teenager about as well as donnie darko does. a lot of criticism seems to come from the fact that the characters dont act super coherently, but in my professional opinion its probably because they are like children lol. anyway, really cool stuff and a few clever scenes, great cinematography overall too.

if thus literally just didnt mention the word “creepypasta” anywhere it would be an 8.
still though its really solid stuff, someone made a good point that david captures a really unique vibe on this and it being one of his most cohesive things he’s put together. lots of creative beats and insane vocal parts. will be relistening a bit for sure

The Rita / Aedeagus / Brutalest / VomirHarsh Noise Wall
june 2022
first night back at my moms house. had to sleep on my sisters bed (she was nice enough to be somewhere else so i could). tomorrow im gonna move a bunch of stuff and get my actual room set up lol, right now i just have my office set up.
first track was... interesting. pretty blatant trans sexualization for... shock? im not sure. it sounds though that sam was still picky about his source material, so im going to believe its just ignorant objectification rather than pointing fingers and exploiting. aedeagus' side was nice, as was brutalest. both explore a variety of styles, but i personally prefer the latter's more. vomir's was calm and subdued, got me a bit sleepy lol.

overrated? definitely. its got the appearance and backstory of a generally calm and relaxing anw/dnw/frnw release but the reason i never got into it until now is because it isnt. its pretty damn harsh! which isnt bad i suppose, it just goes between two opposites way to haphazardly and for far too long as well. not good execution, though the noise is very good and can be enjoyed ive no idea how this has managed to be the chart topper it is for as long as its been.

ive had a fucking horrible migraine all day. this morning i was supposed to get sushi with my girlfriend but our cat started vomiting everywhere so we did an emergency vet visit and dropped ab 300 on medicine and bloodwork (he’s fine btw). had to rush over to band practice on zero food or water and only had some like keto hawaiian bread sandwich after i got to there. nothing really happened but we’re making good-ish progress w a new song so thats cool. ate like raisin bread and took a shower which slightly alleviated the pain but it wasnt until after we finally did get sushi that i stopped hurting.
anyway this was the only thing helping to numb the pain before it went away. this sucks a lot but i fuck with it really hard. rx just never stops talking and gud makes awesome ethereal unrealness. cant stop listening.

went over to my friends house with a few of my other friends to watch this. well we didnt actually know what we were gonna watch, this was just the only thing we could all agree on (barely). it really sucks as like a sit down movie, that was definitely our biggest mistake. its more something you have on while you do something else so you arent sinking your total attention into it. there are funny bits, like shaq, bumpty, and steve buscemi, but this is really just like pretty awful. especially anything from david spade and adam sandler, they really just are not that funny (most of the time). chris rock does what he can but its pretty expected that hes just black guy of friend group. kevin james does the best out of them, i found that he was the most “into the role” and had the best energy, but like chris rock, kevin is just fat guy of friend group. the pacing and story is pretty similar to the first movie, small conflicts appear and are dissolved 15 minutes later, a bunch of silly events are strung together loosely by one larger event that will happen later, and theres some hollow message at the end. if this was done in a darker more abstract way, it could really sell as like an experimental absurd comedy i think. david lynch should direct the next grown ups.

pretty silly chill movie. personally, while mark's character definitely got annoying, i think he stayed rather consistent, as opposed to will's, whom i thought kind of just did whatever was the funnier thing to do rather than stay in character. it actually felt like a lot of this movie sacrificed sound consistency over just being funny, which just kinda made watching it that much lamer. also didnt really like how hard they pushed the misogyny jokes.

pretty awesome. kind of what exactly i’d hoped for from a reunion. these guys really knew how to come back without sounding dated, changing a lot or stagnating. its really pretty fresh. in terms of prog rock meets screamo its definitely way closer to the former compared to their first album, id say this is hardly screamo at all tbh. still good though, super dense and instrumentally complex but it honestly doesnt ever really get old. i dont care much for this type of music anymore but i appreciate these guys and what this album is about. also props for that sick ass cover, so cool…

gf and i watched perfect blue together. its still about as good as it was the first time i watched it.
something thats been on my mind a bit is rym distribution scales. specifically overly positive ones. in general i really dislike these scales. scales with more 5s and 4.5s than anything else, stuff like that. at first i really just couldnt imagine myself with a scale like that because, to me, i dont want to hand out higher scores left and right because they lose their impact (and also, i dont actually believe in many things being that good anyway). for a while i justified my anti-positive-scale-ness with this reason. when people ask about my scale and why i have few top scores that was my go to response. but ive thought on it more recently. i see it in a lot of users’ profiles. it really irks me, honestly. i just want to say that if youre reading this and have one of these scales, dont bother caring about what i have to say. just be yourself, do whatever you want, i really dont care much myself at the end of the day. im just typing into a virtual blackhole because its 1am and im bored out of my mind finishing a slam metal album. that out of the way, ive come to realize i dislike positive scales so much because they convey such little information. it doesnt matter who the user is, what the music they like is, if i see a positive scale the only thing it tells me is “this person likes music”. the primary (and arguably only) reason to look at someones ratings is to see what they like, so when i see a number more than 100 (honestly, my max is like 50 lol) next to their 5s, i just ignore it. i dont want to stare at a screen and read off the same 90 albums every other person on this site enjoys just to find the 10 that are (relatively) unique to that individual. usually these scales only have very few ultralow ratings, which do not take much time to glance at, so all someones positive scale tells me is just the music they dont like and i end up learning 0 about what they do. again, if you like a scale like that and its your way to go then dont let some random mf on rym tell you what to do. i really couldnt care less if people used positive scales or not, its just something ive thought about lately. i want to say though, to the people with scales like mine or negative scales, i appreciate you.
this was fun. ab what youd expect, catchier than last one though. tbh (im qualified to say this im asian) i think japanese women have annoying voices most of the time, maybe thats just that one vocalist in this band though.

definitely going to watch this again. after first viewing i was left a bit... underwhelmed? its certainly very visually stunning to sit through. this movie has great imagery, atmosphere, stellar (dialogue-less) acting and great slow-burn pacing, but the story left a bit to desire from me. however, i did do a bit of reading around in the reviews on letterboxd and opened my mind a bit more. i was not familiar with this director or his apparent overuse of imagery to tell stories rather than dialogue (which sounds pretty accurate). its growing on me for sure, i think with a rewatch or two i might come to really love this movie.

we just finished the series and went right into this movie. i dont really feel like writing up a review of the show, so ill just say it here: its awesome its intense its funny blah blah 8/10 or something.
this whole entry is going to be spoilers and i dont feel like spoilering so read at your own discretion.
ive read a few reviews and i do completely understand why some fans of the show might dislike this movie or not care for it. as one guy puts it, the show ends with jesse driving off, finally free. the movie also ends this way. in a way, they have the same ending, and thus the movie is redundant. i totally get it, and i get why you wouldnt want to watch a movie thats just about jesse, or a movie where you pretty much already know the ending from the beginning. for me personally, though, i really felt jesse's suffering throughout the show. i think my friend described him as the christ figure of breaking bad (walt being the god figure; jesse is punished for everything walt does), and its hard to see it any other way. especially his enslavement, i could not help but feel deep sorrowful sympathy for him. so this movie for me was a really really nice pick-me-up, it was really great watching jesse finally get some good luck and get the happy ending he deserved. as i said earlier, the statement about it starting and ending the same is pretty accurate, so while i dont think this is necessary to watch, if you really just want to see jesse thrive then this wont hurt at all.

so very inspiring. the movie is basically parallel interviews with both members of the band interspersed with a ton of great footage from quite a few shows of theirs over the decades (including very recent ones as well!). they both have very different approaches to noise music but sum to unmatched synergy behind their boards. there is a ton of great insight into noise music and live performance, this is a great watch for anyone who is getting into noise or wants to get into it. my only gripe (not really) is that this movie wholly focuses on their live performances (and the live noise scene in general) and doesnt have anything about their studio outputs or how they go about recording noise. really though, i cant complain. i think this will, to anyone, motivate you to get off your ass and make some sounds to share with the world.

Dr Pepper (Dark Berry)
i saw the 12 packs for these in the store i work at. there were only 3, so i decided to snag one and try it out. im a big fan of berry flavours, though im not the biggest dr pepper fan. i can tolerate the original, and to an extent i like the cherry flavouring, so i thought why not try this, maybe itll be good enough to get me to fully enjoy at least some division of this brand.
i have to say, on first taste, this was rather underwhelming, and i can completely see why. dr pepper already is a rather dark-tasting soda, so when they throw in dark berry, the resulting differences are bound to be small. the berry flavour is very under-pronounced and subtle, however it does add something extra to the original dr pepper taste which makes it at least on par or more preferred than the original. that was on first taste, though. i think that with time (im currently drinking through a 2nd can (its been about 12 hours since i finished the first one)), this drink begins to grow. my tongue is a bit more accustomed to picking up that subtle berry and its a rather pleasant experience. it isnt the sweet berry that im used to (i mean duh its got dark in the name) but im growing to appreciate it more and more.
on first taste, id have to say this is a strong 6/10. however, if you want to give this a second chance, i think that rating can grow. im going to say 7/10 for now, but i would not be surprised to see some 8/10s from my peers. |

a bit torn between how i should feel about this. on one hand i think its pretty creative and has a few genius moments, on the other its rather boring and (personally) uninteresting (not to say it cant be, just for me specifically i didnt care a lot). [#284113 ] makes a good point about the build up being very solid and the latter half being cliche. i also wasnt very scared or creeped out by this that much lol. oh well. i might watch the second one (i hear a third one is in the works as well?).

before i start talking about the movie, i have to say while the price of daytime tickets (5$ each!) is attractive, the fact that our theatre attendant didnt shut off the lights until about an hour into this is probably a good enough reason to not do daytime movies too offten.
firstly, great animation. very good expressive characters and while the world of this movie is certainly confusing (why are some guinea pigs sentient and others arent?) its got a quick enough pacing and captivating enough story to get you to forget about that. i also admit, i definitely laughed quite a few times during this. im a sucker for silly humour, what can i say. diane foxington was a baddie, and i think they did a good job at nailing home a good message that bad guys can be good but should still be held responsible for their bad behaviour.

pretty neat little short film about being a film maker. road trip-y as well with some nice little voice overs.

a blank white screen for about 8 minutes. while watching this i had my volume turned all the way up so i could listen to the tape hiss. i know its probably a really cliche conclusion to arrive at, but this is kind of like the hnw for film. the result isnt totally unchanging (short blips of dust from the film roll) but for the average person is a static image. it is quite peaceful, to just sit in silence and watch nothing. i might have to look into this guys work a bit more.

another very straightforward film. i suppose i dont really need to spoiler this; just still images taken of montreal, each given about 5-15 seconds of screen time, for about 17 minutes. theres no audio, so i took it upon myself to listen to icedancer while watching (and some other winter themed stuff). its a lot more atmospheric that way, i think, when your own soundtrack is added. it sort of becomes nostalgic. you could also just crank the volume and sit in solitude while you listen to the tape hiss, that might be nice too.

i finally got around to watching this. i know its only 6 minutes but youd be surprised how intimidating it is to set aside the time to watch someone kill themselves. my girlfriend had a final this morning so i had a chance to just relax on my computer and watch it. i also got into watching some other experimental short films, and im sure i’ll be in a similar mood for the next week or so, so expect more of these. you’ll also notice i finally caught up on rating all the movies ive cataloged on this site. i have a letterboxd, but its nice to have ratings here to quickly glance at and get info from without having to change platforms, and im more attuned to this site so i can navigate a bit easier and quicker.
well, there really isnt much to say here. the title says most of it all. a man spoiler: click to read. i suppose using the spoiler: click to read to tell the story of his death was an interesting decision. it also makes the film much less gruesome and dark. its a bit easier to detach from and isnt so depressing. on the topic of that, the nature of this makes it very non-depressive. firstly, the man seems not in the slightest sad, nor do we really have anything to base his actions on, and the whole thing really does just feel like watching a movie or performance rather than someone truly committing suicide (whether thats good or bad is up to you). what this does mean though is that in the absence of sadness all we feel is abstractness, which in a way is a rather cool side effect from something so surface-level dark as a self captured suicide. the soundtrack hammers this in as well; very eerie and irregular dark ambient moves at a syrups pace throughout the film. another aspect i enjoyed but wont give points to (since this is not really something that was 100% under klemmen’s control) is the ungodly quality of the image. about as lofi as you can get without damaging the film rolls, and while i suspect that there was a certain aesthetic goal, i also can say for sure whatever they were using was the best that their money could get. anyway, all this to say that while A Suicide is certainly intriguing in the retrospect, it is an utterly hollow “art film” that does what it can to shock general audiences without taking any real risks. i can only imagine this being useful in some kind of art exhibit as a background visual while people focused on quite literally anything else. points for aesthetic.

its my first time hearing either of these artists. first half is interesting, its slam metal but isnt really mixed like it and the guitar parts are very much not slam. pretty cool even if i wouldnt come back to it much. second half though is where its at. bar the vocals (which honestly i dont mind much but they certainly arent anything to boast) this is the catchiest hardest hitting slam ive heard in a while. im definitely gonna have to dig thru their stuff

Harsh Noise Wall
april 2022
at first glance, this sounds like its gonna suck, but its actually really cool. first track is super unique hnw, sounds like its in some kind of gate that cuts of signals really early or something, its got a really cool vibe to it. 2nd track to 3rd help slowly transition from that kind of sound into a more conventional style of harsh walls. apparently all made with bass guitar. cool!
also i think the artist name is a play on Walking Dead but who knows. i think inhos would definitely do something as corny and stupid as that

show in austin was awesome. crowd loved us. ended up ripping open my finger at some point which was cool. most notable part tho was the ride there; we popped a tire and had to get it replaced which definitely didnt suck as much as it couldve but still sucked. ride home was chill. we didnt sell any cds but we sold 1 shirt lol
this was okay, but just like way too quiet and mid. idk these guys (at least DL and CS) have better releases so im not stressed ab not liking this.

played a bit of skate 3.
originally heard, i believe, get out 3 in the film Like Cattle Towards Glow, so i decided to eventually check out the full album. its pretty cool, this sort of melodically sensible glitch that pushes itself via distortion and full-gain into noise/harsh noise territories. didnt listen to the bonus tracks, im sure theyre good tho. rest in peace

thanks for sending, doll!
really good harsh noise/hnw first track, feels like its rolling around and squirming (idk while i was listening i was trying to imagine carbonized organs and something about that phrasing and the track put the image of spinning in my head). second half is also pretty good but a bit less noteworthy.

spent the day doing errands for the band. we are making cds for a show tomorrow in austin. i also had to pick up some cymbals from my friend selling his drums.
firstly, this is really awesome. whatever you think it is going to sound like, youre wrong. just listen to it, its really good. secondly, its a bit long, but tbh the only song that drags is the last one (thats just cuz like in my head while i was listening, the ending of the 2nd to last song is a much better closing statement than the actual final track, idk). but lastly, i just wish this had a bit more weight behind it. as it is, its just some random album probably written and recorded within a few days (at most) time in a catalogue of over 300 releases with (im sure) a good amount of other similar sounding records, so it just doesnt feel as impactful as something like I'm Going to Kill Myself or Amplifier Worship. still really awesome tho, the original cover is so goated.

pretty fun song. discovered this thru the spotify drain gang archive. i wonder how long that'll stay up? seems like it has a bunch of traction (and is verified?), so who knows. maybe its official, if so that would be odd that they wouldnt just release those songs under their own names (so im guessing it definitely isnt official... odd that spotify would verify that tho).
rating: 3.5 |

april 2022
i mean, its cool? i feel about as indifferent towards this as i did cat soup ((un)interestingly, they arent so different). its a rather short, very weak and totally mundane story made more exciting with arbitrarily thrown in absurdity. while its certainly strange (to some degree), its completely hollow, to me at least. things happen predictably, not once was i led to question what i was seeing (spoiler: click to read), nor was it even funny to me. i found a lot of the acting to be pretty annoying too. that said, i respect the effort that is very clearly present in this, considering its release date, and there were a few clever moments and imagery i really liked. maybe essential in a historical sense? but this was nothing eye opening.
a bit of a side note, i feel like this is just another case of “Japan, and it’s weird, so it’s really awesome.”
finally, a rating: 3.0 |

it was my friend's bday. we just hung out (she threw a party so by we i mean all of our friend group) and chilled. it was fun.
taken from my letterboxd review: "visually stunning; lots of very pleasing dreamy real-time-but-feels-slow-motion scenes, cool sparse dialogue and subtly strange storytelling but very little substance at any given moment coupled with rather subpar acting from a majority of the cast makes me not want to re-watch this again for a while. movie works a lot better as an afterthought. minus another few points for the horrible sound effects."

Harsh Noise Wall Plunderphonics
april 2022
plunderphonics-based hnw has to be one of the most boring derivations of the genre, at least when its so blatantly apparent that that is what it is. sometimes it is done well, a good example being razeur's Nachaat, but here it is pretty middling at best. while the textures can certainly be enjoyed, the most apparent issue with this form of wall crafting is plain as day in the first track. its easy to tell that the track was rather half assed; just some song with the gain turned up to 30 and a bit of distortion. then in the title track, we sit through over 8 minutes of a completely uninteresting performance of some band playing some song with the lyrics "Everything Louder than Everything Else" until a wall creeps in and takes over. by no means the worst hnw ive heard, but certainly the laziest and most uninteresting.

ok so instead of less rapping more catchy singing she did the exact opposite and made a trap album. that said her rapping is actually a LOT better here and i can see a lot more people liking this over dmz, but again i dont care about her lyrics and the songs are indistinguishable from one another so this whole thing just feels like a big fall on the face. curious to see where she goes from here.

first listen iwas like euhghruohrtgit[rjirpohg dis is not hyperopop? but lowkey this is actually awesome as fuck after a few more listens. its silly but i think that anthony fantano makes a good point about them not trying to pigeonhole themselves into hyperpop or take themselves too seriously, because they still have a goofy attitude and make good goofy music despite how big they are. plus, i think this song wouldve been a lot better received if it wasnt a lead single (bc im sure there is still gonna be plenty of hyperpop stuff on the album), the fact that it is though means people have to give it extra attention instead of it being a sleeper hit or something. i like the drums and the wild bass and guitar. despite being so left field it is still catchy as fuck. gecs cant do wrong in my eyes, i think this proves that /sj. still excited for the album!

Harsh Noise Power Electronics noisy, improvisation, humorous, avant-garde, hateful
april 2022
audio: 2.5 video: 2.0 not that i want to hate on the guy at all (seems like hes got enough people doing that anyway) but this really does suck. first and foremost its boring generic no input mixer power electronics with weak vocal delivery and weaker lyrics ("i hate you / i love you / fuck you" x10). secondly this is the saddest live performance i have ever seen. saving the best for last, my first problem is that despite the use of two different cameras, we only really see through one of them (bar the introduction). this would have been a bit cooler had his table camera been set up maybe more conventionally to show his entire set up (as opposed to just his mixer) and to have both cameras switching back and forth where needed. it would not only make it a bit cooler but also a bit less awkward. my second issue is that the cameras are completely stationary, which takes all of the impact away from what could be a pretty good visual performance. and of course, lastly, is the fact that this dude (for some reason) decided to throw a harsh noise show in front of his parents and grandparents. at the very least, could you not have found some of your friends to come over, too?

me and gf randomly decided to see this in theatre. honestly, it was actually really good. i liked jim carey in it and i liked the knuckles and tails roles. the wedding arc was like really random and stupid especially because we never went back to it but im guessing that this is the last movie that will include that stuff in it, because now we have a full cast of sonic characters (not to mention the hint at the end of the film) so we dont really need human subplots anymore. im sure in the next movie there will be some random subplot that is relatable for parents with more than one child (itll have something to do with the two main people now raising the three of the sonic characters you know what i mean) but i wont mind that too much. a bit sad jim is retiring after this but oh well, he had a good run!

i actually heard this like half a year ago, i just never got around to adding it to the database. luckily, though, someone else did!
my band played a show with them, a drone-y free jazz group called Gopher's Rumblin', and a neat art pop-ish group called Darling Farm last night. this was our second time playing with party hats and darling farm, the first being our first show ever! so this was kind of like a, idk, a progress check? our first show was killer, im going to go out on a limb and say that was the biggest show ANY of us (all bands included) played, so ever since then its, at least to me, felt as though every effort after that has been made to recreate that energy. tonight was probably our biggest show since then (not as big, of course) and it kind of felt like a place to prove how much all of us had grown since that other show. well, we definitely all grew a lot. party hats, for one, was fucking killer. they had an actual set that was longer than 10 minutes, and said set did not include 2 instrumental songs where the singer left to go drink. the songs are as tight as always but they feel even more diverse than what i remember. their singer has better form this time, too! darling farm also improved. last we saw them they were a pretty boring but rather listenable art pop-ish kind of thing (i say boring because watching them is only fun if you know the songs or like their music a lot (it isnt bad, i just dont like it a lot). they also sat down for their entire set last time). there was a lot more energy last night than our first show with them, and they had a bit more straightforward rock instrumentation in all of their songs, so it didnt feel like watching some eclectic band try to painstakingly recreate their studio efforts live. singer had way more energy too, and their drummer stopped drumming soft and put some actual nuts in his playing. lastly, us. i think we've grown quite a bit since back then. we're still playing the same songs, but we've renovated and reworked all of them, we've gotten way tighter, and we've gotten way better at playing infront of people. we arent using synthesizer anymore lol (at least not live). oh and all of us (except gophers (to my knowledge)) released albums days prior to this show, so it was kind of a show in support of all of those, which is maybe another reason it felt so big.
anyway this was cool but the recording quality sucks

my band had a show today . it went… well. we had two big fuck ups, mainly, our bassist was unplugged for like a whole song lol and then on another song i miscounted and forced us to end a section early. we also had a photoshoot kinda but only a few pics we liked. it was overall a middling day but there was some good. other than those two mess ups we’re tight as fuck, so this next show will go crazy hard.
finally got to finish this. i have to say, while there are good tracks in each chapter, none of them blew me away quite like chapter one. still good but not as loaded w bangers as i was predicting.

suspenseful and cozy little pocket universe thriller. i didnt find it all that predictable, though it certainly isnt anything spectacularly unique. great actors, comfy scenery. felt a bit like a video game with the very limited settings (not a bad thing). may watch again someday (weird for me, i dont even like slashers lol).

gf and i are gonna start watching more movies more frequently which is awesome.
this is kind of a huge slap in the face, imo. while masquerading as a very sweet weird indie romance story it really serves as more of a wake up call than a nice fictional getaway. despite this it does have a happy though a bit less satisfying than preferred ending. great cast as well. very silly at times. music references were awesome.

this is my best friends “favourite movie of all time” so he made us (my other friend and my gf) watch it with him.
honestly pretty good. its silly, a good will-ferell-in-his-prime-era movie with a very safe linear story and wholesome resolution. i dont mind the product placements (honestly i enjoy it) because instead of being so obviously sell-out they lean into it really hard and make it a pretty good recurring bit (and i mean realistically its a racing movie so how else would they have gone about that? racecars have like 400 different ads on them, would they just invent 1200 different brands?)

no movies in february i guess? anyway, this was really spectacular. made batman feel very much like a real person instead of some comic hero, and hes also emo and robert pattinson. very good sets and atmosphere, riddler was a fantastic villain, catwomans side plot wasnt bad and ended up converging well with the main story. honestly my only critique is that the forced inclusions of the batarang and batmobile and bats in the bat cave (completely unrealistic, they poop (horribly stinky, by the way) WAY too much for that to be something ANYONE would let slide) were just silly inclusions to anyone dumb enough to fanboy over them or something.

so now, we’re done with Long. what now? well, i have some ideas. firstly, Long (as an event) is being put to the shelf, hiatus, indefinitely. for reasons that will unravel in a bit, along with my already accelerated music consumption, it would become such a frequent event it would kill me. so, im probably going to save it for a much bigger and further out goal. maybe 10k ratings? i dont know. ill think about it later. as for those “reasons”: i decided im going to start rating singles. ive already picked up a bunch that i would have rated by now that ill probably spam rate tomorrow (around 400). excited, this should also encourage me to hear and rate even more.
anyway, formalities aside, this is amazing. its bladee and ecco2k and its already fucking bolded lol, so im not really even gonna say anything ab it bc its either already been said or its pointless. you either love this or youre straight. a little fun tidbit, while i did stray from any new releases during Long, this was the only exception…

finally. FINALLY. finally finished.
honestly, im not too sure what to say about it. so i guess ill just ramble for a bit. its really, despite being over 4 days long, an unsurprisingly straightforward release. bar the first section (which we’ll talk about in a little), this thing is monolithically homogenous. individual tracks are unremarkable and there are hardly any semblances of “highlights” (or even “lowlights” for that matter) anywhere. while almost all of this is unending spastic nonsense drum shredding there are moments where i.o finds himself in a nice groove or rhythm. these bits rarely last longer than a 30 seconds but they help (infinitesimal is still greater than 0) to break the monotony. there are also a lot of tracks that make use of both channels, playing two different improvisations in each ear, which can make for quite the maximalist experience (call it ignorance or listening improperly (i was listening in mono (just one airpod) for a lot of this) but im not sure when he starts doing this; i know not every track is like that, but towards the end every track is, so im not sure. that said, listening mono is quite intense, as well). maybe there’s something worth investigating there, maybe one ear on track X is the same one from earlier track Y, idk, its nothing ill find out in my lifetime, im pretty much i.o’d out forever (not really, but you get me).
now, about that first section. there actually is quite an impressive display of different songs here, and i suppose if i were to give you an abridged version of this release, id say just listen to the first section and nothing else. while they are all definitely the same kind of hyper nonstop improv, there are actual standout moments. a track or two he experiments with recording/production and gets a sort of lofi output (reminds me of some goregrind or something), and for about 4-5 tracks he utilizes looping mathrock guitars over his playing. he doesnt sync with them, but its a nice change of pace. there is also some evidence of different takes being almost purposefully sloppily cut and stuck together. unfortunately though, thats the end of the variety and experimentation. as ive said already, everything else is homogenous.
so, then, was it a good listen? ill say yes, it was. if you have patience and can find genuine enjoyment from his style of drumming, i think this album isnt too hard to sit through. again, if you have patience. really, thats the only thing that makes this such a pain to get through. the music is great, really, its energetic and its easy to have as background noise (hell, you could even listen to other music while you listen to this. trust me, its kind of good). it just sucks to do it for so long. i will say though, this album has definitely taught me something about that, patience, so i suppose some good did come out of sitting through it.
and tbh, maybe the worst hi hat of all time.

march 2022
and, the penultimate addition.
ive been wanting to get to this for a while now; i’m really glad i chose this as black circle’s replacement. at this point, 13 hours is a scoff worthy runtime to me. honestly, a 100 track 12 hour release is more intimidating than a 12 song 13 hour one. just feels like progression is a but easier and concrete for the latter.
this is honestly one of inhos’ (and possibly the) best release(s) ever. super consistent but still of course diverse content, each track laced in his signature digital processing, but what makes this stand out among his other works is that he really perfects the balancing in harshness without relying on higher tones or super deep bass tones. i also find that inhos has a magical way to craft these interesting audio illusions that feel like listening to some kind of loop of static, sort of like a breathing with some kind of abstract rhythmicity, despite being live recordings.
also, he misspelled “eleventh”.

i know, i know, i know i know exactly what youre thinking. youre thinking "ROCKTIME?! WHERE IS BLACK CIRCLE AND EAR TOMB?!" well, fuck you! thats what im thinking.
after about 4 days of i.o. and 2 weeks of no activity on this site, ive realized ear tomb and black circle might be a bit too much dip on my chip. i want to get back to rating music and also be done with long stuff for a bit (sort of). so i replaced ear tomb with this and black circle with another necrotik release (ab 13 hours long so). thought about reordering my ratings but i think i like keeping the dates intact so im just gonna rate these then im gonna rate injecting logic. i havent finished it yet, i still have the final section, but im gonna listen to that after i get through these. also i know i already explained this, fuck you, though! thats what i thought and am still thinking.
FINALLY got to this. a little awesome backstory, i was actually there when octa made this. they mentioned they wanted to do some huge breakcore stuff, and even asked me about any breakcore labels i knew that they could release on (i only knew of the worst at the time). luckily for us, they didnt submit it, because this isnt really breakcore. the first track you could make the stretch and say it is, but it sounds more like one of octa's longform sequenced soundscape kind of tracks, with strangely programmed and slightly distorted breakbeats sprinkled throughout. to my disappointment (but not to the album's success), though, the breaks stop there. intermission 1 and act 2 focus much more on the sparse slow moving droning soundscapes hinted at in act 1. while these are interesting, they have definitely got to be the most unrewarding tracks here. intermission 2 is a great exercise in electroacoustics, tons of really great textures and sounds here. act 3 is a more drone/noise focused kind of piece. it reminds me a bit of yellow swans. picture them but a bit quieter. intermission 3 is puzzling. back to programmed rhythms and beats but its more akin to sequencer and tracker stuff. really this track is kind of silly but octa does end up playing around with timewarping and glitching to make it a bit more rewarding than it might seem at first. act 4 is probably the highlight of this release though. super dense and diverse autechre-esque sound design and warping post-idm interspersed with lots of radical sound collage towards the end and slow droning noises closer to the intro. the ending track is a small but appreciated bow on the entire project. overall a great exercise, nothing id return to bar act 4 and some of act 1 though.

its been a few days since last post. sorry about that. im lazy and its busy.
the 15th was my girlfriend and i’s 2 year anniversary, so to celebrate we took a 3 day vacation into austin. as im writing this we are on our third and final day here.
our first day we got into the city around 2:30, and right off the bat we went to cisco’s (really amazing mexican place) to eat. she wasnt as amazed with it as i am, but thats okay. more for me i guess lol. she got like tacos tho so ig there isnt much room to be amazed. after that we got to our hotel. its a pretty janky area and a lot of stuff is like old and damaged but we’re only here 2 nights so it isnt a super big deal. the tv has family guy which is really all that matters. we went to waterloo records afterwards and she got the new beach house vinyl and i got the venetian snares pideon one. i was gonna get some experimental noise whatever but was like eh. we spent the rest of the day walking around 6th street. we got some donuts at voodoo which were great. we didnt realize sxsw was happening too which was cool, even though we didnt participate in anything. i was really wanting to see claire rousay since she had a performance on the 17th but it was pretty late and we werent trying to spend any more money than we had to. after a stop back at home we went back to 6th and found this funny gay bar. she got a drink and we stood in there for a little before it got awkward and we left. i wanted to go into this weird venue called Forever Eternal Moments but she wasnt feeling it, so we decided instead to drive over to this barcade which actually went super well. their whole schtick is they serve cider, but whats awesome is that they are right by this beautiful river, so sitting outside on their back patio was super nice and relaxing. they have some interesting games but its nothing really to write home about (see: Rhythm Nation).
the next day was a bit more exciting. we went to this nice deaf-owned crepe place, then to half price books where she got s2 of vampire diaries lol. we went to this light museum art thing caled wonderspaces which was really cool (a bit expensive though), then back to 6th where we just walked a bit. she got her septum pierced which is awesome she looks super cute with it and then after some resting at home we ate noodles at this eurasia place.
our plan tomorrow is to get some coffee then… just figure it out from there! we may go home early or late we arent sure.
all in all im really satisfied with this trip and im super thankful for her setting it up for us. im hoping to do some more with her this summer if we can get the time from work.
havent been listening to any injecting logic over the trip, but im about halfway through now. i plan on sinking a lot of time in as soon as im back! |

its been an eventful few days i guess. school's been moving along as it usually does, though now its spring break. for my 2 year anniversary with my girlfriend we're going on a 3ish day vacation to austin which should be super fun. we're a bit low on money but we are trying not to worry about that too much. im excited to take her to cisco's i fucking love cisco's'
ive been continuing skating too. not that im really improving much but im finally getting back into the swing of just going to the park, skating then leaving. im practicing my ollie's down stairs (so far i can clear 2-stairs) and my frontside turns on inclines. still cant do any flip tricks but we're working on that.
had a test in number theory, went alright. couldnt answer one question but whatever at most i got 5/6 right and he isnt harsh ab grading so. last day of math models he gave us all extra points just for showing up.
ive been thinking about it pretty hard and ive decided im going to not do Ear Tomb and Black Circle for Long, just because i kind of want to get back into music and its already taken over a week just to get through like a day and a half (less than 50%) of Injecting Logic and i really dont wanna miss out on music for like 2 fucking months LOL. ill get to them eventually fr but you know it is what it is. instead of that though im just gonna listen to 2 other things on my long, rearrange my ratings (because i can fuck you) and injecting logic will be my 3000th. i think ive said it before but ill say it again this is probably the last time im doing Long for a while, maybe at like 10k ratings or something?> idk. i was excited to have black circle as my longest listened to release, but a 4 day free improv album is just as good.
speaking of which, im (as of writing this) halfway through the 4th section (+'s). so far ive gotta say its a really draining listen, but it is nice as background music when its a bit quiet. when i can i listen to it while listening to something else. its a bit distracting but it makes getting through each track a little easier lol. i might take a break after this section so i can get out those other two long releases, probably another necrotik fissure one and something else im not sure yet.
in some other news, my band finally got our album cover decided on and a planned release date for it. super duper pumped for this to come out because we've been gaining a bunch of traction lately and i think it'll really help blow us up. our guitarist is mastering everything and we're waiting on some final decisions on random things but other than that its as good as released. im gonna try doing cds too, i even made a fire ass back cover lol. |

Harsh Noise Wall raw, noisy
march 2022
“… anyways though, on monday i finally started Eternally Suppressed... and so far its... interesting. i listened to track one on the way from school to taco casa and back home, and i got through tracks 2 to 5 at work later in the day. while its certainly good so far, i expected it to be way more intense and deeper, but so far most of the tracks kind of feel like air conditioning + a lot of gain. they all also have that signature NF digitization feel to them, that makes them sound super artificial / inorganic (whether thats good or bad is up to you; i personally dont mind in the case of NF). as im writing this im getting through track 9 (i listened to the other ones during class this morning) and its much of the same cases for all of those as well ...”
and here we are. several days (almost a week) later. i finally got through the whole thing. i dont even think i realized until i was finishing up the 38th or 39th track that this is now the longest release i have ever heard (and its only upwards from there!).
my thoughts on this have changed quite a bit. originally, i was a bit disappointed in a lot of the material here. it rides a fine line between being really thin, higher tones and being super standard sounding harsh noise tones. but in my opinion, they all really just came off as lazy and uninteresting. i mean, i really did only think like “amplified air conditioner” for a ton of these. i suppose the good thing about them is that they are rather uninvasive, and you can listen without having to be super present. as the tracklisting went on, though, i became more and more fond of NFs work on this. theres a pretty big display of variation and diversity here, even on earlier air conditioning tracks, and there are several handfuls of tracks within this that were genuinely surprising and fun to listen to, that i might actually return to eventually.
while i expected towards the end to be giving this a 3.5, i decided to bump it up to a 4.0 because i believe this to be *the* necrotik fissure album. black circle may be the longest but i think this is like much more reasonable in extreme length and is a pretty good display of inhos’ talents, ability, and signature style.

im still getting through Eternally Suppressed..., im about halfway through. so far its a bit middling, but there have been a few standout tracks.
the day of my last entry, i ended up getting a bit sleepy after writing it. i was also a bit worn out from anime and i really didnt have much studying to do for my next test so i played a wild card and ended up going to the skate park. it was my first skate session in a long time, im surprised ive actually still got it... sort of. there were a bunch of bmxers there i felt kinda bad cuz i got in there way a few times, but tbf its a massive ass park and im going slow as hell they can see me lol. i worked a bit on my heelflips, and i did some maneuvering in the bowl.
my test went super well actually, im shocked. it was way easier than i expected and im pretty confident i got a good grade on it (who knows though, the correlation between my confidence and my results hasn't been stable since the 7th grade). i got to leave early and ended up going to the store to get some ramen and sunkist. for some reason the store near my house has like nothing, so i had to get this weird like offbrand ramen thing but it was actually pretty good it comes with its own soy sauce too which was cool. i munched on that and my sunkist while playing minecraft parkour. i beat my first hard level which was nice. it was honestly easier than some of those really annoying easy levels lol, i think its difficulty came from its length (101 jumps).
the next day was part 2 of my number theory quiz. he wrote some notes on all our papers and spent this class helping us out. honestly number theory is one of those things thats super easy for me but only in hindsight lol. everytime he shows a solution im like ohhhh duh. anyway im confident i did good on that too (he helped so).
today has been kind of a stressful day. i had two tests, the first of which, discrete math, i was mostly okay with. but the second was in math models. to keep it short, i did better than i expected... but i definitely didnt do great lol. oh well. im just ready to go home today lol. i did go skating again today. there wasnt as many people which was nice. i spent my time working on ollieing off of ledges and stairs (i can clear a 2 stair!). hopefully my gf and i can play minecraft together after we finish her homework.
edit: ended up getting an 86 on my analysis test :) |

i guess these custom entries wont be daily or anything like that, itd be pretty tough to keep up with that, im never really even in the mood to write all that often. its probably better anyway, though, my life isnt that eventful, i need a few days for noteworthy things to pile up lol.
i took another day-ish break from long; on sunday i worked 6-2:30, and i really wasnt about to listen to hours of necrotik fissure for such a hellish shift. the actual workload was pretty intense too, its a sunday so its going to be really busy, obviously... aside from that though ive been using my break time to just listen to anything else, and after work i listened through a bit of diSEMBOWELMENT's album. forgot how good some of their stuff is. the buildups into more intense blast beat deathgrind (dont come at me for whatever genre it actually is, i dont know and i dont care) stuff out of their super slow funeral doom makes the longer tracks much more worthwhile to listen to.
my girlfriend and i finally finished watching vampire diaries, too. i have to say, while the ending was definitely rushed and a bit unsatisfying in some aspects, it was probably the greatest ending we could have gotten, and i was actually pretty emotionally torn up from it. i ended up tearing up pretty bad (and a day later cried in my car thinking about it lol). i really just wish they had like, two or three (honestly, even just one) extra episodes to draw things out a little finer, but im guessing with (probably) super low viewcounts on s7 they were really tight on budget for s8. it also irks me a bit that they even had to complicate things as much as they did towards the end, because in my opinion there were loose ends that they wrapped up that did not need any attention whatsoever. all that said though the ending is really really amazing and overall the show is just great. id probably give the whole thing a 9/10 tbh.
ive been playing a lot of minecraft parkour lately. i dont have much to say about that but i just have been. its pretty fun lol, i think i mentioned it earlier but i played a lot of those dropper maps first (im playing on manacube) and after finishing all of those i moved on to regular parkour. its pretty awesome, its definitely frustrating, but i think its like a cool art form i guess, is how i think about it when i play it. ill eventually get to a bigger more intellectual write up on my thoughts about it later, i dont feel like doing all of that right now. its also a good way to pass the time listening to music (specifically long hnw lol).
anyways though, on monday i finally started Eternally Suppressed... and so far its... interesting. i listened to track one on the way from school to taco casa and back home, and i got through tracks 2 to 5 at work later in the day. while its certainly good so far, i expected it to be way more intense and deeper, but so far most of the tracks kind of feel like air conditioning + a lot of gain. they all also have that signature NF digitization feel to them, that makes them sound super artificial / inorganic (whether thats good or bad is up to you; i personally dont mind in the case of NF). as im writing this im getting through track 9 (i listened to the other ones during class this morning) and its much of the same cases for all of those as well.
todays soda day, so im celebrating with a mountain dew spark, and i may get a sunkist later. i think i have an exam today (along with 2 others on thursday...) so im hoping i do good. i didnt do so well on my diff eq exam, but im paying a lot more attention now and im going to try even harder on the next exam. i think for the rest of todays break ill just watch anime, and later tonight when i get home ill play some more minecraft parkour lol. |

OKAY last minute i decided to just make blank entries not attached to any release for this stuff so forewarning: ignore everything i say about this stuff being on any release-entries, im too lazy to proofread and fix it all. this might be something i do in the future just in general as well, we’ll see.
im going to go ahead and make an entry for this, since ill finish it eventually, but i wont add a rating yet. the point of this is so i can write at least about my life while i wait for this to be worked through. im probably going to finish it in march as well, so after some updates ill just cut this entry off with no rating and make a new one for this album in march. i had a small dilemma debating about whether or not i should do that, then i realized that its my diary and i can make whatever rules i want.
i decided to take the day off from long (and from hnw in general), just to give myself time to cool down if i need to (not sure if i have a limit, but i was probably reaching it yesterday). work was okay, i proved once again that im kind of the best at my job, my numbers keep me in at least the top 3 of all my coworkers. i also got to spend some time in the backroom today so i was able to listen to some music. ive been going back through all of my flashcore stuff and relistening. forgot how much i like it. i also am working on that aphex twin remix project (which i listened to too many times today) and ive gotta say its sounding really awesome. my coworker also invited me to eat pho with him tomorrow which im nervous but excited for. ive never done something like that with a coworker but we get along well so maybe itll go good. after work my girlfriend and i watched more of vampire diaries, and now we only have 3 episodes left. ive gotta say all of my predictions did not come true and im probably going to be really irked at how this show decides to wrap up all its loose ends, seeing as theres still so much to develop in such short time. though i suppose there is the sequel series “the legacies”. i dont know anything about it, so i cant really say how stoked i am to watch it, but im just hoping it isnt boring or anything idk theres no point in saying any of this if i havent finished the show yet. its hard for me to say i recommend it because i dont think the rym demographic lines up super well with TVD’s demographic, but i guess if you enjoyed twilight at all (unironically), you would probably like this show. they arent anything alike but it takes the same kind of mindset to appreciate them both.
so thats all for now, no listens on this yet, though i do plan on either tomorrow or monday. also, i think i’ll date these little blurbs from now on (for these last 4 long entries), since they are all over a day long. |

i suppose i should start writing a bit about whats happening to me irl. ive been struggling a bit to keep up in school, its just a bit hard since we had the first few weeks online so im mentally behind in all of them, but im doing what i can to keep on top of it. some midterms are here, im just hoping whatever i fuck up i can make up for later. it got super cold for no reason and it iced over for a day or so, which was awesome, got to stay inside and just chill. i also worked a bit on this aphex twin remix thing im doing (its not really a remix, i copied all the original melodies and chords and whatnot, i dont have the stems or anything). ill post it somewhere soon. my band's album is also coming along really well, we are almost finished mixing everything and honestly the only major hurdle left is getting a good cover art. its been kinda hard to though since we are all wanting different things and our guitarist is in nyc right now lol. oh well. we also have tyler from Spring Breeding (hopefully) doing a guest appearance on a song which is super super awesome. oh and ive been playing lots of minecraft lately, i like doing dropper maps lol. and me and my gf are almost done with vampire diaries, we decided to hurry through it because apparently in early march its going off netflix. i think thats enough of me for now.
took a few days to get through, though im still well on track and ahead of schedule, having taken only 3 to push through this (honestly, it would have been 2, had school not shut down yesterday from winter storm warnings). luckily though, my girlfriend actually spent a lot of today out with her friends (its one of their birthdays) so i had a lot of alone time to push through it.
in all honesty, i wanted to really like this, but i didnt like it that much. well thats a lie, obviously i like it because its vomir, but i think im a bit disappointed by it really. the mixing on a lot of these just doesnt feel right, it feels very, idk, i guess if i had to compare it to something id say a banana growing old and squishy. its organic alright, but its a bit past expiration date. do with that analogy what you will. maybe its just the version i downloaded? oh well. theres also (i want to say in all tracks but i only remember noticing it in a few) this strange sort of shaker-type chh noise that pops up again and again, its got a bit of a rhythm to it, and it ruined a bit of the immersion and just didnt sound very vomir to me.
the irony of this entry is that i was really expecting i wouldnt have to write much since its vomir, but i guess after 14 hours of content there is more than just a few things to say lol.

Lowercase, Ambient Noise Wall
february 2022
finally pushed through this one. honestly out of all of them this was the one i was most hesitant about committing to. mostly because its a 9 hour youtube video, there isnt a download for it anywhere since og bc page was nuked and nothing on slsk (and yes, i even asked lancre, he doesnt have it). its also apparently super fucking quiet lol.
indeed, it is pretty quiet. its actually so quiet it has this strange kind of effect depending on what you listen to it with. at first i was listening to it through some higher quality gaming headphones, but i ended up getting really nauseous since this is all like micro infra sounds, so i switched to some regular speakers. through the speakers it really just sounds like background noise, just like a gentle wind blowing, but i noticed whenever i would pause it some strange sound would play out of my speakers (i know it was the speakers and not my computer because i tried to record whatever it was through audacity, and it didnt pick it up). i then tried listening in my car, and a new sound appeared that wasnt present on any other device i used. for some reason a very light high pitched ringing played, and was constant throughout the hour i spent in my car. it reminded me a bit of being in a car and hearing another car go in reverse, and that high pitched tone you sometimes hear when someones breaks arent super up to date. after that i listened with airpods which was a similar experience to listening with speakers. i also listened while watching some anime and its really funny because it just kind of sounds like they recorded all the audio outside and there is some minor wind being picked up. it isnt distracting or annoying its just noticeable and funny. there are some jumpscares in there, i only noted one at 4:26:30ish but there are definitely others, probably about 5 in total. they can be a real pain in the ass especially since youre listening at max fucking volume the whole time. all in all, i think that, while it is a really cool concept, and one of my fav titles of all time, the inconvenience and extremity of it makes it something id probably never come back to or particularly enjoy ever lol. it is very cool though, and its the only wall noise my girlfriend has said was good (because its impossible to hear).

Dark Ambient, Drone, Ambient Noise Wall
february 2022
eugene critchley: solid anw, very low bassy texture that feels super smooth and comforting. the intro sample sounds familiar but im not sure what its from. it goes on for a rather long time though, over 10 minutes, and isnt really all that... idk atmospheric i guess. its kind of silly sometimes and feels more like im just listening to a radio drama than actually getting immersed in this song.
ništavilo: good followup. nice dnw
cosmic silence: pretty similar to ništavilo’s but has a (much more appropriate) sample in it, so its a bit more like critchley’s all things considered. there are small minor disturbances throughout it i think. good stuff
bruising pattern: lol, right off the bat with a bojack sample. i havent seen the show but im kind of shallow and make judgements anyway. putting those aside though its kind of a strange sample choice. its certainly sad. this wall is kind of interesting, maybe its like this on all of them, but i noticed in specifically this one the bouncing around of textures, hearing it go from left to right to center a lot.
heksemøte: pretty nice one. no samples this time, like ništavilo's, but i think i prefer this one over that one. theres a lot more bass-y rumbling here, and its got a nice quieter layer of what sounds like a fire crackling.
tibetan funeral: very quiet on the start, but grows at a snails pace. has a lovely crunch that becomes more apparent as it goes on, and there are these great cave-reverb-like pops and noises that show up in the last quarter
n0123noise: outrageously quiet, but still very nice bass rumbling. sample at the beginning was nice. im not sure what its from but her voice sounds really familiar for some reason
veil of nature: definitely the least bass-rumble one so far, its a nice change of pace tbh. reminds me of wind blowing
charles razeur: the most minimal piece here by far. hyper quiet stuff, like a soft breeze for an hour.
overall: very awesome very good very awesome. the definitive DNW release, and the greatest testament to that microgenres existence.

third one down very good stuff, though i have to say not as enthralling as some of his other works. there is a rather frequent (at least, across 6 hours that is) and noticeable stutter that happens in every track, probably once every 5 or so minutes (less sometimes). its kind of nice, though its a bit like a double edged sword in that it also can break the immersion.
rating: as much as the meme is awesome, in my heart it doesn't feel right giving this anything higher than a 3.5 |

february 2022
and with great speed the 2nd Long listen has been done. started this yesterday night and finished this morning. super super super amazing release, nonstop insane fun quirky silly interesting and super well done dnb/drillnb. unreal how xoark is able to stay so consistent for so long and even across a bunch of releases. i was really trying not to give this a 4.0 because its pretty damn big but its 4 hours of &&& how could i not and honestly imo this is like the perfect example of xoarks ability to stay consistent and not stagnate at all, so and honestly there isnt really any bad tracks or tracks that i wanted to skip (maybe the like 2 or 3 little ambient synth ones at the last 10th of it) so for that i think i will make it the xoark 4.5 (replacing the other one)

and thus begins the Long.
first up this year is this. i had some extra time today (and listened during classes huehehehehe) so i was able to knock it out quiick. i will say at first my hopes were up pretty high, the first track was really nice and subverted my expectations a bit being on the calmer side of jason's style. the second track goes even further and is another nice one, halfway through this repeating chh chh chh sound comes in and is a really cool twist, but thats kind of where this stops being so awesome for me. while its certainly really cool to hear that on track 2, it also continues for the entirely of track 3. track 3 being the most texturally interesting probably made the inclusion of the chh's kind of annoying. that said, this was still good and im glad the first listen this year wasnt a total bust lol.

3:01 PM] 無標題: i think [3:02 PM] 無標題: it doesnt seem like it would be less worse if it had music (i will use less worse instead of less bad because it feels like it fits better) [3:02 PM] 無標題: btu i dont know [3:02 PM] rocktime: i think youre right [3:03 PM] rocktime: i think any way it is it just feels exploitative i guess [3:03 PM] rocktime: but at least with music it feels like there is some sort of attempt at an artistic approach [3:04 PM] rocktime: that is like here is people suffering, and find some message, but instead this just comes off as wow this is so disturbing and cool [3:04 PM] rocktime: i think also because this is like in the context of a "split" it feels like that as well [3:05 PM] rocktime: because there is not like a bigger picture between all the interview tracks [3:05 PM] rocktime: it is just an interview of someone who got raped and kidnapped followed by another artist making a "song" with a different interview of someone who got raped and kidnapped
[3:21 PM] 無標題: i do nt think this point applies in this case since it is a split between interior one (rusty kelley, emelia mckay) / concave/convex (rusty kelley, emelia mckay) / breathing problem (rusty kelley, emelia mckay) [3:21 PM] rocktime: maybe [3:22 PM] rocktime: but i think that makes it worse lol, because its just the same people and there is the potential for something really big and cohesive [3:22 PM] rocktime: i mean [3:22 PM] rocktime: i dont know
[3:22 PM] rocktime: i guess it is cohesive in its own way [3:22 PM] rocktime: since it is examples of kidnapping [3:23 PM] rocktime: im going to say that its slightly exploitative in nature and very very boring

listened to this otw there. pretty good but its nothing id come back to. that said its really well done and even somehow catchy and very accessible (for an animal collective dub exotica record).

actually really good. first i thought it was just like noisy hiphop but tjen i realized it was like power noise remixes of hip hop songs (not really power noise, more like really amped distorted beats). pretty fun stuff.

thanks for the rec kuromi
im not rlly sure why kuromi sent me this, but im guessing it might be about my fraxiom statement i made that he is the worst lyricist of all time on some song he’s on. if thats the case, im sorry to say my opinion is not much different after hearing this. that said there are actually a lot of moments i enjoy in this. good work… for now…

i am getting thru recs before my long as well
pretty insane for a merzbow release. hardly no dynamics (merzbow's standard of them), just 1:14:00 of straight harsh noise screeching. i just kind of wish this was shorter/cut up into shorter tracks so i could relisten to it more, but its still really really good. the day we see a hnw primary merzbow album will be insane...

Noise Spoken Word
february 2022
thanks for the rec tay
about what you'd expect from the cover and credits. equal parts contact mic scratching, synth noise, feedback and audio of gay pornography. at times it feels like richard is reacting rather than reciting, implying these might be new editions to his collection or he isnt as familiar with them as you'd expect.
one positive thing i will say about this was how invested i was in its world. i.e., the world ramirez builds for us, how he lets us view the films that he is viewing, sort of how he "narrates" it for us. im assuming there is some sort of audio illusory happening here, as just about everything but the actual speech from the actors is very difficult to hear, and i said illusory because its probably a bit better to "hear" when you have visual context (or would that be, optical illusion?). im not sure richard intended this, but it is nonetheless the effect. because of this, all gaps between any speech that can be made out are being (either purposely or accidentally) filled by whatever ramirez wants to fill them with. this re-contextualizes the films quite a bit, and adds a really thick layer of discomfort to them. in between the already very vulgar audio blurbs are low hums and quick, sparse scratches that make listening quite unsettling. another thing i noticed was the metallic clanking heard throughout the release. im not sure if this was ramirez's doing or if it was already present in the films (based on the cover, id assume they are SM films, or something, which would give the metallic clanking a bit more contextual support, but i dont know). they only show up during intense sexual scenes (penetration im guessing), so maybe the latter is true, im not sure. track two also has a very good building of atmosphere in its second half as the synth and feedback grow together.
all that said though, its rather mediocre.

played a show with my friend for one of our bands (i am on guitar for this one). we actually played to a rather large audience which was weird. it was punk night or something idk but we were like improv no wave music genre jerkoff or whatever. i ended up cutting open my finger from playing which is good, means i did it right, and everyone liked us i think or something lol.
listened to this on teh way home. very chunky and crackly, good ending to the series, and finally a different fucking cover

Drill and Bass Glitch, IDM
january 2022
so i came down with covid (unsurprisingly). in summary, my first day was whatever, hardly any symptoms. eventually i got unbelievably ill, had a horrible fever and was just very weak. that said i still spent a lot of time playing terraria lol but i also watched a lot of vampire diaries with my gf. we are almost finished (ab halfway thru s7) and its pretty good so far but ill give full review when we actually do finish. have this horrible sore throat and coughs, along with terribly stuffy nose. also wildly hungry but apathetic towards all food options lol. i enjoyed my vacation though.
pretty good stuff. leans pretty equally into && and ]] territories (as opposed to p()()8 which was more &&). also im featured on track uhh Ikarrus so listen to that one.

very strong release. tons of really good moments (even the fucking bonus tracks). gonna spend some more time cranking this out (maybe on shuffle) to get a better grasp on the individual tracks. good contender for his best release
also not sure if those are latin characters or cyrillic in the title

i think with further listens this will become a classic for me but as it stands now its just good, a bit hard to differentiate between tracks but i think monokle brings a good shift to al90s style that make this a bit more exciting of a listen than other solo al90 releases

im pretty behind on these entries because im lazy but also ive been dreading writing up mh thoughts on this one because theres too much to say and not enough energy in me to write it all down. “breakcore” is loosely used here, this is really just the pinnacle of electronic music in every sense. thanks xoark

to start the new year off my gf got covid and we’ve been quarantined together for a few days now. i also recently came down with it (i havent been tested but i cant imagine i got anything else). its been tough, insane fevers and insatiable hunger and nausea. we’ve been playing a lot of terraria and watching vanpire diaries together. we just finished s6 lol
listened to this after i woke up. good stuff, has a lot of subtle movements. i was rather bored while listening though, i didnt have any motivation to play games so i just kinda sat there.

naughty’s track was cool, has this kind of long pulsating to it. call me fucking insane but nf’s first track sounded like fucking ripping and tearing organic matter like some kind of squelching and shredding through flesh or something. second one was much of the same.
