Thatguy

ABATON - We Are Certainly Not Made Of Flesh SECRETS OF THE SKY - To Sail Black Waters NP - KAIJA SAARIAHO - Lichtbogen. A great contemporary composer. She just died, much too young at 70.

Speeding of course. But I grew up and stopped after my last fine many many years ago. I had the wife and two kids in the car and I had to get out and endure a dressing down by a policeman not quite young enough to be my son but certainly young enough to be an annoying kid brother. In my defence I hadn't seen the sign for the drop in speed and that is why I was 20 km/h over the limit. That is no excuse of course and I said nothing and meekly submitted.

þ is pronounced as th as in thorn ð is pronounced as th in the Dental fricatives. Any Icelandic speakers here please correct me if I'm wrong.

This was Thatguy approved when it came out, but no one else here much cared for it. Well, we are right and they are wrong.

OWL- Grid Shimmer. I can't get enough of this album. DRUDKH - They Often See Dreams About Spring

Of course they do...

WODENSTHRONE - Curse THANTIFAXATH - Hive Mind Narcosis OWL - Grid Shimmer. Thatguy approves of OWL. Their albums sound like busier versions of Romantic era VALBORG. I think the Owl main man and the Valborg main main are the same dude. NP - modest by default - SISMICAL. Time to chill.

There's good 'orrible and there's just plain bad horrible. This is the latter. Cheesy is today's word it seems and yep, it's cheesy. OWL - Grid Shimmer

I couldn't help myself and I had a listen to their album 'Strength'. Mate, you've got to get yourself some help. This is a very poor joke. It's well played and well produced, but strange and horrible.

You've never been more correct, Dead. Economic benefit - nil. The Libs who resigned are nut jobs with other agendas but it seem the AFL has them by the balls (or equivalent) too. Tasmania is a poor state with a small population. You're fucked if you go ahead and probably fucked if you don't as the AFL will have iron-clad contracts (i.e. they have the government by the balls).

That kind of estimate has been show time and again to be total bullshit. You hire a team of consultants and tell them what conclusion you want. I wonder how much SA paid to have the State of Origin game... Fuck the AFL with a rough pointy stick. They have the Tasmanian government by the balls. There will never be the crowds the AFL demands and the government will be subsidising it indefinitely. Entertainment precinct? I don't want to go to any event - other than a football game - that takes place in a fucking stadium.

A life without weirdness is a life half lived.

UNRU - Die Wiederkehr des Verdrängten VEXING - Grand Reproach NP - APHIR - The Halo Is Shapeless

Welcome. Jump right in.

Yep. But I watched neither of these and I use it with two degrees of irony. (Which means I mean it, man.) XUL - Devangelic

I don't know what that mood is. I never go there. No one here is 'normal'. Oh, and fuck youse all. MOURNFUL CONGREGATION - The Exuviae of the Gods Part II. If you like MC you'll like this. I liked it but it's a bit, well, nice. Not 'noice' as a Westie term of praise, but nice as in prim and tidy and sensible. USNEA - Bathed in Light. Rather like the MC but shorter songs and not nice at all. I liked it better. Yeah, but the thing about that particular album is that I will lay money it was recorded using 21st century technology and the shitty sound is a deliberate attempt to sound authentic and tr00. Fuck 'em.

Not no-one it seems, but it's certainly not for me. As usual it's not so much the crudity of the music - that could be fun - but the faux-amaturish production that makes this unlistenable. Yeah, I get it, but get over yourselves dudes. Vacuous are pretty good though.

VIRUS - The Black Flux WODENSTHRONE - Loss

Thatguy was out of town for a few days. Yers have behaved yourselves well enough unsupervised. THULCANDRA - Hail The Abyss. Good fun. GNAW - Cutting Pieces. The singer from Khanate and band. Sounds like Khanate. Pretty good and a great band name.

He's back

I have always thought this is a great band name. Their music is not my thing at all though.

I had a listen and I decided I didn't need it. Interchangeable says it well. Good background music I guess but I've got plenty of interchangeable ambient music to do that job.

Not bad at all. I can hear the bass. If I can't hear the bass I don't want to listen and yep that means I miss some good music, but no bass and its a big fuck you from Thatguy.

Never never never call Wagga Wagga Wagga. Calling Wagga Wagga Wagga is wrong.

RORCAL - Myrra, Mordvynn, Marayaa. What a great band. I think there could be a new album this year. MIDNIGHT OIL - Place Without A Postcard. Just pips 10,9, 8...as my favourite. NP - BLOODMIST - Arc Where's Al the Orca?
