It alarms me that people chose to eat chain pizza. There is no need to do that to yourself.

@fistfulofdave That checks out.

@fistfulofdave Of course there are no “brief” conversations when Cory is involved.

What is the obsession with flying cars? People can’t navigate 4 way stops or roundabouts much less adding another dimension to figure out. If this comes to pass there will be a lot of carnage. Can I get a nice train system?

@fistfulofdave Oh right, yes... they probably should not exist. I haven't checked in on that bullshit for a while. It's actually happening now!?

@rasterweb yeah, I should have linked the article I was reading.

The only Minor Threat recording I own is the CD with everything on it. It is exhausting to listen to it all. So I split my digital files into the original releases and it make it a more enjoyable listen. I do this with a lot of combined CDs, makes the experience better.

@fistfulofdave The cover is so iconic. No posing or trying to look cool or badass... just four guys on the porch looking sort of sorrowful or introspective.

I’m sure you seen this.

fistfulofdave, to Paramore
@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

I’m sure Paramore (the band) mean well by leaving a major label but becoming ambassadors of Record Store Day where major labels flood the market with pointless reissues. Making it difficult for indie bands and labels from pressing albums.

@jake4480 my wife too. Although that’s her alone drive time music I don’t have to hear. I guess she never needs to hear weird 80s indie metal. 🤣

@jake4480@c.im avatar

@fistfulofdave oh, luckily yeah she doesn't play it around me. I don't know how much she still does even, maybe some? More from her youth. But things like, she follows the singer on TikTok and the other day I got to hear her butcher a Talking Heads song. Which was disturbing. 🤣 and yeah, my wife likes metal too but exactly, not ALL the weird shit I listen to. She wasn't nearly as excited about the new Organectomy single as I was. 🤣😂🤣

@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

There are a few albums that have left me colossally disappointed. The 1978 Gene Simmons solo album and Metallica’s “Black Album”. https://bravewords.com/news/metal-musicians-reveal-what-they-thought-after-first-hearing-metallica-s-black-album-the-right-feel-the-right-heaviness-the-right-everything

@rasterweb Most, it’s bland. The riffs are boring, it’s like they took everything they do well and got rid of it.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave I would agree with that. I often found Metallica boring (though you did have me listening to "...And Justice for All" quite a bit) but yeah, it sounds like a "safe" album or whatever.

I’ve come to the same conclusion, watching things, reading, small edits can happen on the iPad anything creative (music recording, graphic design) happens on the Mac. https://sixcolors.com/post/2023/08/why-i-gave-up-on-the-ipad-only-dream/

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave Oh yeah, there are definitely ways to be creative on the iPad, but for the things I do, a computer is almost always going to be a better choice (for me personally).

I have the Affinity apps, put them on the iPad, but never used them there.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave I had wanted to try using a drawing stylus with my iPad a while back but it's too old and I guess nearly all of them besides the Apple Pencil sort of suck.

fistfulofdave, to logicpro
@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

Had an idea to take an old song I wrote and meld it with an new one I am working on. It worked! Took the guitar part and made it the bass line. Once it got the tempo correct it was all good.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave When can we hear it?

fistfulofdave,
@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

@rasterweb that’s a great question. The guitar/bass part is a little difficult so I need to practice a bit. Some guitar stuff and vocals to write. I’ve got time carved to do it. A couple weeks maybe?Planning on putting it up somewhere once finished.

@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

I get the Beatles = $ but how much more do we need to know. What important information do we not have? And what detail can you get from a mainstream film? Let’s delve into other bands maybe.

@fistfulofdave I recommend the Schlong doc “A Punk Side Story” instead.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave I enjoyed it. Lots of great stuff, and just a little sadness mixed in. Pretty sure I saw some local stuff in it, maybe some flyers for Madison or some art from people I know.

Supposedly a relative of Leonard Bernstein wrote a letter to Schlong saying that legally they should take action against the release of their album "Punk Side Story" but it was so incredibly well done that they would just allow it.

Do people really think Barbie was Oscar worthy? Art direction certainly, but he plot was lifted from The Lego Movie, the middle dragged and the end was fine. Does it deserve an Oscar for its message? Maybe, but it’s not a great movie. All this being said it’s the Oscars and leave it to them to only nominate a man for Barbie.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave I really enjoyed it, and I think the message was great... I didn't see the LEGO movie but was it about women and the patriarchy?

(I don't give a shit what the Oscars think of course.)

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave Are there other films that share a similar plot? Seems like it could be pretty common.

fistfulofdave, to StraightEdge
@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

I’m still straight and alert.

@fistfulofdave Congrats! I’ve started using drugs recently…

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave I appreciate that. I've been going through a lot the past few years and I think it may be helping me with some anxiety issues. I am trying to be responsible with it.

fistfulofdave, to Marvel
@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

Loki has been one of the only successful Marvel releases post Endgame. Hopefully season 2 lives up to season 1.

joe,

@fistfulofdave I felt a bit jipped with secret invasion. I'm hoping that season 2 of Loki makes up for it.

joe,

@fistfulofdave Same here

fistfulofdave, to Milwaukee
@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

Milwaukee’s finest? The greatest hardcore punk album ever, for me probably. Furious and unique. Hugely influential (see VoiVod).

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave I would not have drawn a line between Die Kreuzen and Voivod, but now that you mention it...

(To be fair though I mostly liked Angel Rat and The Outer Limits.)

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave Also, that album art is fucking awesome.

No Apple device has ever autocorrected fuck to duck for me.

@fistfulofdave Consider yourself lucky!

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave You managed to beat the ducking algorithm!

(I actually typed “ducking” above as a joke and my phone corrected it to “fucking”. )

fistfulofdave, to TaylorSwift
@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

So to get all of the new songs physically you need to buy four different versions of the album. The vinyl are double lps. That’s bullshit and a crap way to treat your fans.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave That’s how you treat “customers” I guess…
