That avatar's awesome! One Shia LaBeouf was more than enough! Heh-heh.

EDIT: Ah, I see, that's from some sort of "intense" motivational video he recently did...

Hahahaha! Oh dear, the weirdness continues!

And compilations have begun, it's gone el viral, eh ?

[esteban]

[NightWolve]

What's sad is that after watching the video you linked to, I proceeded to watch a billion more JUST DO IT!!!!  videos because I had just had to do it.

I know, me too, I had to, it had gone viral. I ALMOST wanna do a matching video of my own!!! Was it more about motivating somebody else, or Shia getting to vent internal rage/anger ?? Seems like it's a great way to vent if you ask me!

Best one: Shia LaBeouf is Illuminati!!!!!! Great/epic music build up to the hand gestures! Hahahaha!

First heard that Donnie Iris song on the Bob and Tom show, lol. The riff main riff kicks ass.

Even if you don't like Carter USM, you can't deny that this is a f*ckin' divine song. At least give it until 1:30, you lazy, jaded bastard.

[Mathius]

I'm listening to the last album Nine Inch Nails put out in 2013. It's stellar and you can hear some peace may have crept into Trent Reznor's life. Which is what I want for the guy.

[sn0zc0r3]

The new album from Deafheaven just came out and it's pretty rockin'. The drummer is a goddamn beast.

Imagine black metal vocals and grind-y drums with some post-rock guitar work. That's more-or-less what we're dealing with here.

[SplatterTrigger]

Astroman soundtrack

^{♫ https://soundcloud.com/alvin-thechipmunkson16sp/sets/sludgefest}

Some dude took a vinyl LP of Alvin and the Chipmunks from 1980 and played it at 16RPM.

It is profoundly more enjoyable than the originals (which aren't really originals, are they?), and far better overall than it has any right to be. To quote the place where I found this, "it sounds goth as fuck" and "those guitar solos on walk like an egyptian sound like the apocalypse."

Its so weird that the Chipmunks thing is blowing up this week. Many thousands of kids discovered this themselves ages ago at home. In the 50 years that "band" has existed...shit, so many, especially earlier on. In the 60s most console stereos still had a 16 RPM setting on them for playing transcription discs, and EVERY kid fucks with the speed on a turntable so...I guess only 90s kids and later would even think this was a thing to be discovered. That IS how it was recorded, btw, demonically. You'll recognize slowed down Alvin is the exact same voice as Dave, and the two other brothers are just hugely exaggeratedly dumb voices so that when sped up they could be distinguished.

I used to dub Chipmunks to my microcassete recorder which allowed for two speed play/record. I was interested in the audio engineerring side of things, how they recorded the music and such, but the demonic nature of the shit was plain.

Fuck, there was even a huge Paton Oswalt bit on this very subject some years back that was quite hilarious.

Talk about news cycles...


Anyway, currently listening to the 8x12 version of New Order's Music Complete.

I suppose the idea was to give us two versions of every song, in the style of great New Order singles of the past like Round and Round, Perfect Kiss, etc.

Back in the day, the 12" versions of these songs were the definitive version, and the "single" mix, which often was the same as the album, was seen as necessary for radio, videos, or containing the album to the running time of a single LP. These "extended" versions of songs are my favorite stuff from NO and something I've been missing since Technique. Giving them their own side of a 45RPM 12" also meant terrific sound quality. To me they weren't "extended", it was obvious the shorter ones were edited down. Once you became used to the 12" ver the 7" would sound abruptly truncated.

With the 8x12 version of Music Complete they basically did that with every song, if it needed it or not. Extended versions of Singularity or Restless I wanted from the minute I heard the single. Some of these other tracks though...yeah, not needed. Having heard the standard album about 50 times since it came out, I was really familiar with the short versions. I'm not sure how much that taints my bias but to me the extended versions sound...extended. I thought for sure that songs like Singularity and Unlearn This Hatred would have all sorts of cool outtakes restored like Round and Round or Run2 did but...not really. Only a few new elements, mostly breakdowns just last longer. I still prefer the longer version of all of these songs, but its not really a %100 success, IMO.

Packaging is insanely opulent. The box is hand sampled and embossed made from some paper only Peter Saville (no relation) can source, each disc gets its own translucent color wax and the standard 2LP is included as well. The odd side is etched in a decorative design that does nothing for me, but thats still cool. Black paper jackets with black poly liners...pure class, and the best.

Tony Wilson would be proud. Finally bloated box sets for washed up pop bands are being aimed at MY generation, dammit, I'm going to enjoy this cynical cash-in shit so fuck off.

I had heard Alvin sing about hula hoops in the old 1958 Christmas song at it's original speed.

What I had not heard was Alvin saying "I always get it up with a touch of the younger kind" from My Sharona.

There are a whole lot of Chipmunk covers, and these are some of the best to listen to slowed down.

Listening to tenacious d of course

[Sadler]

Nero's Essential Mix from September. Just awesome stuff! My neighbors have to be sick of my blasting this mix.

The music tracks to Magicoal.

Trendy hipster bullshit that I actually enjoy:

I ripped the Falcom Metal Works doujin CD I got and put it up on Youtube. It's a fun little album with some stuff from Sorcerian, Ys, and a couple others.  Only about 35 minutes total but has some good beats for being done by fans.

[geise]

Hell yeah!  After 13 years they are back!  Never thought this band would put out anything again.  Technical Metal at it's finest.  Great band.

[Mathius]

I'm listening to Pearl Jam live at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia from April 1994. Possibly their best show.

Christmas Wrapping - The waitresses

I'm sure many people are listening to Bowie, but lately I've been listening to this band.

I've been listening to Hot Water Music a ton lately.

That reminds me so much of Eluveitie.

They are an amazing hidden band imo. But that's if you like folk metal of course.

And, I am listening to Wintersun at the moment of my mid week 6hrs bender.

Never heard of Eluveitie  before... did a quick search on youtube and it sounds pretty nice!

[MNKyDeth]

They are amazing. I met them personally at a bar after one of their concerts. They are really cool people and really down to earth. They deserve recognition for the great music they make.

Damn esteban that's weird. In my Contemporary British Literature class my professor makes us listen to some 80s Brit punk/postpunk/shoegaze and the band we have to listen to the week is the Au Pairs!

Ha!

Not sure if it is available on YouTube, but the only reason I knew about the Au Pairs is because they were interviewed for a British news documentary (from 80's) about punk and sexism.

Years later, I got lucky and stumbled across some CDs at Tower Records.

[HailingTheThings]

Been listening to their "Self Titled" and "Sonic Skate Surveyor" albums recently.
