I let a friend listen to Brian Eno's 'Big Ship', she called it one note garbage...

 

I surprised she didn't call it "shit".

are you implying that The Big Ship is shit?

sombre reptiles best track in agw

st. elmo's fire dawg.

but actually that album is flawless and the big ship is amazing but only works after in dark trees

After watching mein best friend I don't see how it wasn't obvious the guy was a brutally unpleasant human being. I don't see how being wildly talented at something excuses you for being a absolute cunt.

After watching your friend doing what?

I think most people who know of Klaus Kinski were already aware he was brutally unpleasant, this just puts it on another level.

(And I think that movie's titled My Best Fiend... seen a few people referencing it as "friend" now so felt I should point that out.)

Woke up at 3pm for a drum session, and I'm feeling especially sluggish for having to wake up "so early". I'm glad they couldn't do it earlier in the day as I originally requested, not sure I would have made it...

i lost my clasp

Oh shit, I thought Messiaen was talking about an actual friend. My bad.

can't find a particular break on my hd.

I can't get over the fact that a a girl at a party said that a Vibert track was RnB.

 

Why can't I stop thinking about it?

 

 

I know! Was it you that posted that FWP a while back?

 

I've been joking about that with my gf and brother ever since.

 

Fucking clown girl

I once played a 2562 and Shackleton track at a party, and was told it sounded like Safri Duo

I also received comments like the music I put on sounded like something that would be played at a "fancy-pantsy" art-gallery.

 

I've stopped playing/requesting music at parties, because I always have to hear so many weird comments about it, and it's annoying me to honest. Even if I try to play something that's not niche or "weird".

 

Maybe I just have fucking weird/awful music taste, and I need to accept that. But it's amazing how closed-minded some people are to music they've haven't heard on the TV or Radio.

Probably a pretty stupid rant, but I had to get it off my chest.

 

 

I think probably a lot of us watmmers deal with the same thing. I don't really share my music for the same reasons you said. Not many people have an open mind enough to understand it... They just equate different with bad.

 

Their loss!

 

I did post it just after NYE, which was when it happened. It seems that the moaning girl is a House girl at heart. Apparently she did a huge party in her garden last year and because she seems to know many of them, a lot of them played. Not my thing but here you go. She still thinks Vibert is RnB???

I wasn't going too strange either. I understand that many will not enjoy most of what I listen to but fuck, open your fucking eyes to something different for once.

Fuck it I don't really care. Let them spend a vast percentage of their lives watching X Factor or underachieving wank bags prannying about on ice.

My fan makes a horrible squeaking noise when it starts up and I feel like it might explode every time I turn it on.

What you need is electrical contact cleaner.

what classes are you teaching smetty? and tell us more about the syllabus bureaucracy, i love hearing about how gimped teachers really are when it comes to teaching students, it helps explain why some of my seemingly brilliant instructors let modey's office teach the class for them

Sorry for the late response. Im teaching American History to 1865....the syllabus has to cover absolutely everything word for word, and also agree with predetermined course requirements (most of which are completely unnecessary but I digress).

My finished and approved syllabus is, no joke, 13 pages long. Normally my other classes receive a syllabus of about 4 pages.

Buying a car is stressful

I don't know what's the difference between Computer Science and Software Engineering, though still want to make som animated films/art installations. Robert Henke is my hero.

I would say that software engineering would be more of the programming side of things. Computer science would probly cover more of a. overview than getting deeply programming based.

I'm probably wrong though

and which one is, like, "better", I want the one that teaches you the most.

I think with Kinski his whole career and appeal was based on the fact he was this insane, larger than life character so theguilt from liking his films seems more like enabling behaviour in hindsight. Everyone laughed at his antics, but I'm beginning to question if he used that to his advantage to cover up his more sadistic behaviour. It'll certainly be interesting to hear from hear from Herzog, seeing as in a way he was another victim to Kinski's psychotic behaviour.

 

And to makes things worse I just realised that my username is a Klaus Kinski / Fitzcarraldo reference. Think I might request a name change after all this.

There is also a member named "kinski", which I assume is named after him

how will he feels now

or Legowelt

I just learnt that Klaus Kinski was a sadistic sexual predator that abused his daughter and now I feel terrible for ever telling people that he was one of my favourite actors.

i'm also saddened but not surprised by this. imagine living(suffering) daily with the intense seriousness and hair-trigger madness that makes him so captivating as an actor! it'll definitely affect my perception of him as an actor in future viewings, as it did with polanski's work... but i'd be missing out on amazing films/art if i boycott every actor/director/artist who's done wrong.

(co)incidentally, did anyone else notice this? POLA KINSKI... POLA KINSKI...POLANSKI. :irrelevant mind assplosion:

so the semester just started up. i gotta leave my place at 7am and i dont get home till 7pm. even better, i have a 3 hour layover between classes but i cant go back to my place cause by the time i get home ill have to leave the house again (i commute). honestly, why do i have to have the one major that gets the worst fucking class times? like i have this one class that i keep putting off but have to take at some point that goes from 6pm to 9pm. this shit is really pissing me off cause ive got nothing to do and im bored outta my mind!

im actually writting this during my layover just to give me something to do.

whataru studying?

@logakght: Aerospace engineering

@Usagi: i would but i cant sleep in public. ive tried before but i just end up getting agitated and parinoid.

My gf and I were trying to move into a place with an extra room apart from the bedroom and living room. I was looking forward to having my computer away from her constantly blaring fucking television so that I could work on music again for the first time in 2 years, but after giving the landlord enough personal info to steal both of our identities, paying the $40 rental application fee, and disclosing well in advance that we wouldn't be able to move until mid-february, the fucking landlord decided to rent to someone who could move in on the 1st.

Can't afford any other place that isn't just a one room now, so it looks like another year of me not being able to escape from that goddamn fucking television.

There are things you could do baph about that, if you wanted it done..
