Since The Fortunate Son is like a pop culture soundtrack for Vietnam films, what do you think will be the signature song for Afghanistan war films in the future?

 U can really tell by these podcast ads what they think of their audience. Its always ads about  grooming or ED / balding pills.

Like we are all balding fat guys with erectile dysfunction.

I don't think there will be any. Afghanistan won't be remembered in the same way Vietnam was. a lot has changed since Vietnam both in terms of how conflicts are PR-managed and in terms of how the public perceives and feels about those conflicts. Vietnam was a lightning rod for a long-running popular anti-war movement while people were mostly apathetic and fragmented around Afghanistan. I don't think Afghanistan will be a catalyst for music or film or any kind of post-conflict reflective art, it'll just recede into memory as a dull failure and nothing will be learned from it.

i was only half-serious with that question, but I think you underestimate the money and PR potential of it, which makes it inevitable to happen, imho. Give it 10 years and I'm sure a filmmaker or two will grab the opportunity to ingratiate him/herself with the suits. I agree with you that the public perception is very different (which might be an interesting cultural study in itself), and so there wont be the Fortunate Son of Afghanistan (hence the tongue-in-cheek question). However, I have this garbage theory that directors who want to achieve the undying hallmark have to make a post-conflict reflective film ( *cough* propaganda *cough*) film: De Niro - The Good Shepherd, Eastwood - American Sniper, Spielberg - Bridge of Spies and Saving Private Ryan, Mike Nichols - Charlie Wilson's War, to name just a few

anyone heard from zen master ding lately? genuinely curious to know how the ding saga ends. last we heard he was chasing rabbits into oncoming traffic. wonder whatever could he be up to next...

@dingformung is anybody out there?

he's probably rotting in a prison cell as we're speaking, somewhere in the depths of bavaria. what a disgusting human being.

Haha, I hadn't noticed that! But that fucking guy... I mean how much money do you have to pay youtube to be that freaking visible? I refuse to believe that midi chord packs are this lucrative.

But what do I know...

lol. hate to say atoadaso but I called his shitty character arc early.

re: dingdongdarreich

I think the same guy that offed this is michael jackson got to him.

give me the psychological strength, 

to better mentally handle, 

the amount of fucking incompetence,

I have to deal with,

Is Adam Driver handsome or not?

He is quite handsome I'd say, as are you. Together, you're more than the sum of your parts. Maybe it's time to pop the question, Plum.

the highlight of today was two guys, on bass and trumpet, playing Miles' All Blues in a small underpass leading into a park

it appears that eassae left the forum for some reason. 

This ancient blog post about Eno selling some gear came up in an unrelated Google search* earlier today, and it contains the line 

  Quote

At the other end of the credibility scale, an ebay seller called alunsworth is selling a load of synths from Stock Aitken and Waterman's PWL studios

Which got me thinking, in 2021 is Eno really at the opposite end of the credibility spectrum from SAW?  

No.  He isn't.  If anything, they're two sides of the same coin.

*it was one of the top hits when I was looking for information about DIY hardware DX-7 programmers.  Ok.

stay hydrated

zkom posting gescom a1-d1 tunes in the acid thread reminded me of how 2007 was an incredible year for electronic music in my book. so many releases that had a huge impact on me: tuss, cylob - trojan fader style, gescom a1-d1, ceephax volume 1 + eurostar acid, dopplereffekt - calabi yau space, tuss, urban tribe - acceptable side effects + dj stingray - aqua team, the caretaker - deleted scenes/forgotten dreams, µ-ziq - duntisbourne abbots, tuss, etc.

some of the crazy shit that was released that year: 

Did you mention The Tuss?

geogaddi was released in 2002 actually

Should people who do to much botox be allowed outside? I really feel like they become a safety hazard, because of the sun reflecting off their shiny heads into drivers their eyes.
