He normally does DJ sets. I can't say for most of his shows how he does them, because I won these tickets so it was a 120 cap venue with VIP treatment. But it was him, a singer, a violinist, a drummer and a keyboard player, most of them sang different songs. He does lots of different versions of his own stuff, making it faster, or blues or something completely different. The man is a genius.

As I said before, DI is a big softie underneath it all. Frankly I applaud his abrasiveness sometimes as it helps him weed out those who are worth his time and those who actually "get him".

And Mat, come on now, taking a big dump on yourself is hardly a good defense and it's only going to cause more friction. You know I love you in the only way a man can love another man.

Those who are worth his time? Is this a fucking interview?

Take his fucking cock out of your mouth.

Quit whining, it doesn't suit you.
I'm trying to be nice here.

Uh, really? Doesn't seem like it.

TAKE THE BIG HAIRY MAN COCK OUT OF YOUR MOUTH IT DOESN'T SUIT YOU I'M NOT TRYING TO BE NICE HERE.

Weed out those who are worth his time. Where do you come up with this shit?

Thanks to the almighty ambiguity of text and the preconceived notion that I do everything with malcontent, I am once again made the bad guy here.

All I'm saying is, there's a method to his madness just as there is to yours. If he struck a personal cord, you have every right to be miffed, but why would you respond with self pity? Maybe I'm completely misreading you, but that's what I saw.

NEVER MIND SHIT THAT EDIT DIDN'T WORK HOW I WANTED TO

You're misreading him. Severely.

Don't speak on his behalf, thanks.

(1)Stop crying.

(1)Really? You can't get over what I said about your music? Even after I commented again explaining what I meant in the original comment so that you would understand it WASN'T intentionally hurtful? Wow.


(2)Yeah, your jokes are usually good natured. But I've seen you go out of your way to be down right annoying AND mean, making your jokes as personal as possible without really being hurtful, just getting underneath someones skin enough to really piss them off. So you're more subtle than I am, I guess.

(3)You almost hit the nail on the head this time. Except for one thing: it's the internet. I don't say the things I say for the sake of smugness or feeling self assured. When I want that, I go out into the REAL WORLD, and I succeed at whatever it is I'm trying to do. It doesn't always happen. Sometimes I fail. The point is, I don't use the internet as some sort of self esteem boost for myself. That's pathetic. I calls 'em likes I sees 'em, and you [and others] have given me a ton of plusrep for it. Provided it's not aimed at you. Except for my initial comment about you writing 'another shitty song', which, I assumed was blatant in its attempt to be a joke. Your plusrep validated this assumption. Then you started crying more.

(4)Who's deserving and who isn't? What, you've been here for a few years, so you can do and say as you wish, with immunity from any sort of backlash or feedback? Please.


(1) Okay. I'm not sure if that's what you honestly think, or if it was some sort of school-yard-strategy. So...Thanks? I guess.

(2) Oh, piss off already. Apples and oranges. Also, while I loathe any form of comparison regarding art in general, yours REALLY chaps my fucking ass. I put my shit out there. So what? It's not personal art. It's mindless, 'I don't know what I'm doing until I'm done, I like bright colors' bullshit. But it's out there. Yours DID seem to be personal, and you put it out there, too. As far as I'm concerned, that makes you more of an artist than I'll ever be. I'll never have the balls to show anything personal here. But fine. Shit on your own chest.

(3)Bullshit. You have to be one of the more intelligent users around. And while we've get a plethora of dumb-dumbs, we also have some pretty sharp cats around here. I went to school. You didn't. You own a house, I rent an apartment. Your job sounds more challenging than mine could ever be on the worst of days. When you're actually working, and not trolling the forum, I mean.

(4) Kind of goes against your 'I always make sure not to hurt anyones feelings' statement, but no real disagreements here.

(5)No. Because I think you're a good, interesting fellow, and I have no real interest in hampering your already low self esteem.




EDIT: Fuck you, Sekto. Stop defending me, and stop pretending I actually want you to act as my ambassador. You're only embarrassing yourself. You. Don't. Fucking. Know. Me. I'm trying to be nice here.

this thread is in need of more dinosauras

The same goes to you. Stop speaking for me, fuckstain.

Sorry, not trying to step on your toes or anything. You're perfectly capable of defending yourself.

No hard feelings.

This was in regards to the write a shitty song about it, which I did take to be a joke, until you decided to keep digging. At that point, I figured you were just intentionally being a cunt.

Oh, I don't deny that I've gone too far before. In fact, I made an entire thread about what a dickhead I was about a year ago. I may still take something a bit too far, but I try to recognize when I do that, and apologize for it when it happens.

I plusrepped you as a way of saying "I get it. You're joking.", but your little comment about my sad little life fucking pissed me off. And that "It's the internet" bullshit isn't any more valid now than when I used to use it. Also, why is it that when someone acts like a complete and utter cunt, and someone tells them they are acting like a complete and utter cunt, that person is a crybaby? You're being a dick, and making statements that you mean to be intentionally nasty. So, yeah. That fucking sucks.

Not what I meant. I meant deserving as in acting in a manner that requests a verbal backhand. And I'm not just referring to myself.


I just wanted to get it all out there so we could maybe move on from my failings as a human being for a bit.

I also assumed the all caps, lack of punctuation thing was another clear indicator of a joke. I know you love your family. How do I know? Because I read EVERY FUCKING BLOG you write. And enjoy those about your family life the most. I actually showed Dorian your 'home movies' and said something similar to 'See, this is why I like the guy. He's neat.' But taking a shot at how much or little you value your family, yeah, that was over the line.

I apologize for that.



Meh.



It's not the fact that you were calling me out as a cunt that made you a cry baby. It was the fucking pissy way you went about it. I think the next rung down would have been you reporting my posts. Had you initially gone with "You're being a dick, and making statements that you mean to be intentionally nasty. So, yeah. That fucking sucks." I probably would have agreed and moved on.



You're not a failure. Stop with the pity party. It makes me less attracted to you.

Let's leave at this: You're a cunt, but I was being over sensitive. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. Angry time over.

i'm on a doomtree binge

HUGS AND KISSES

Love this cover, as well as many others from the Bad Plus.

flim is such an amazing song, and i really felt the drummer in that cover always lets it down. because this dude shows that physically drumming aphex twin isn't strictly impossible

YESSSSS FUCKIN' A SOMEONE ELSE CARES ABOUT POS!!!

btw I've been meaning to get the Kid Cudis album and have not yet, because my memory decides not to retain these things. BLAH

I got the new Holopaw album yesterday, and it's fucking beautiful. I love that band so much.

This song isn't from the new album, but it's the only video that I can find for them.

this is best aphex twin



it makes me a sad babby :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

P.S. Leto, have we discussed Tobacco/Black Moth Super Rainbow yet?

Neither but I do likes me some Black Moth Super Rainbow. Like a cracked out vocoding monster who wants to give you candy

The new Animal Collective album came out yesterday, so I'm buying it today. It's called Fall Be Kind.

OH MY GOD IT'S SOOOOO GOOOOOOD. I love it.

Well said... can't get enough of those sunshower cracklin' beats. I don't know if you've gotten into Tobacco, but he's Black Moth Super Rainbow's producer/singer/beatmaster, and has an album called Fucked UP Friends... essentially BMSR with coke and 40 oz

Electric Light Orchestra is literally the best music ever

nothing compares

I just found my Frank Zappa "Apostrophe" CD. Brilliant stuff. I think I preferred "Freak Out", though.
