I can't say I'm a huge fan, but I still listen to NIN frequently--particularly the Downward Spiral and Fragile albums, but a handful of recent tracks, too--but my reason for doing so is different now. I really got into music production, audio engineering, and sound design over the last few years, and I also have a particularly large boner for any artist that can create a hellish sound that human ears have never been exposed to and somehow fit that neatly into a mix. So, trying to figure out how these soundscapes were created led to me learning more about music theory and experiment with software and later analog syths (♥). Then something odd happened. When you're experimenting with 'creative' distortion, you're kind of getting a primer on wave mechanics. But you can hear and feel it. The Downward Spiral has some intense, unsettling soundscapes that I still can't quite tease apart, and some truly pants-shitting dynamic shifts. Still, everything fits together. Everything has its place in the mix... Marvelous.

2017-12-24 18:20:21 +0000 UTCDude, you think you are old, but now you are even older than you ever were before. Try the Bay City Rollers. Do you even know who they are?

2017-12-22 06:35:16 +0000 UTCBeing one of the five people still alive older than Cecil, I have to say my musical choices in my youth were poor at best. My worst offence would be The Carpenters (I blame dinner music at family gatherings).

2017-12-19 03:14:49 +0000 UTCDo you think Alex Jones has been watching that Stephen Speilburg movie AI on Netflix and wants to get "Flesh Fairs" started up? Like he thinks those sex dolls will scream for their life while hillbillies throw beer cans at them?

2017-12-18 01:51:21 +0000 UTCSo, I learned from a Welsh friend today that, outside of the United States and its colonies, the rapture isn't really a thing. It's not really even in the Bible, it's apparently an 18th century heresy, making our church leaders who teach it and the people who believe it heretics. It sure is a great tool for exploiting vulnerable people for money, and whipping them into a frenzy of bloodlust, though!

2017-12-17 19:41:20 +0000 UTCMy cringey kid music is The Dresden Dolls. I was OBSESSED all throughout my teens and college. I do have a tattoo. Here’s the thing though, is I’ll listen back, and see that it’s cringey, but I still love it. I just don’t want anyone to ask about my very prominent tattoo. 😂
