you’re probably an idiot. I know I am.

    That was a great video. I don’t know that I 100% agree with the simplified conclusion, especially as I don’t think heavy is always inherently at odds with “pop,” (just look at bands like Limp Bizkit; they certainly aren’t the heaviest band around I’d argue they’re almost equally as heavy as they are pop), but it was a tremendous exploration regardless and I think I probably still agree like 90% anyway. I’d watched a few 12tone videos before, but one specific songs (Sympathy for the Devil, The Middle, Free Fallin’), but this was a better video than those were, imo.

    So weird quick story, I was introduced to three albums I adore by this absolute hurricane of a woman who had a brief but impactful presence in my life. One of them was Tyler the Creator’s Bastard, another was Thou’s Tyrant, and for years I have been trying to remember the third album, only able to remember that it was amazing stoner sludge and had something to do with cavemen. Cut to literally yesterday morning and out of nowhere like a lightning bolt it suddenly hit me all at once: Meanderthal!

    So anyway, Torche kick enormous ass, I’m so happy to finally be reunited with them, and I spent basically all yesterday listening to them (mostly Meanderthal again and Admission).

    Akercocke - Leviathan … because that build up is insane.

    Yo, what a fucking banger of a track! You weren’t kidding about the build up, insane and super effective, and then like you said borderline scary when those huge uncleans hit. And I love how a section in the guitar reminds me a little bit of like an NES game warning alert sound during that part. Very sick.

    Ahab - Old Thunder

    Yeah, that’s fucking heavy. Great pick.

    I’ve been trying to go to a concert, at least local, at least once a quarter. I do buy merch, often vinyl records or T-shirts, but I have hard price limits; I’m not paying more than $50 for a vinyl (unless it’s a double) or $35 for a shirt, max, and due to my budget I usually have to limit myself to purchasing only 1 or 2 items per show.
