Love me some screamo, I'll check out that Slowly Building Weapons record!

Mainly just catching up on my fave records from this year, plus a few comps that sounded cool. I'm not done yet!

It's a classic Star Trek storyline but it still checks out. Also love seeing La'an leading the episode

Edit: on further reflection, whilst I enjoyed the episode (all the call backs to TOS vibes were great), I think this shows the weakness of having shorter seasons, in that there's less space (pun intended) for "frivolous" capers like this.

I do love that the staff, be they actors, wardrobe, production, etc don't have an insane routine like the old days but maintain that at least 12-15 episodes per season is a nice compromise

If you like metal then that Jivebomb album is excellent hardcore punk. Along similar lines is Xiao's Control which is more powerviolence but still great

Edit: a more sasscore aligned record you might dig is Emma Goldman's All You Are is We. This features members of Dads Thighs, who put one of my fave emo records The Ghosts that I Fear

I preferred the first record but This Bitter Garden is up there for me as well. End Beginnings from Sandwell District is another honorable mention

I'm a fairly social, enthusiastic person but have a lot of dysphoria around both my appearance and just being human in general

Might be racy depending on what you're drinking...

I recall one house party where I drank half a large bottle of vodka and a whole smaller bottle of vodka, passed out and someone understandably called the ambulance. That of course promptly brought the party to an early end, and I ended up in A&E with an IV drip in my arm. To add insult to injury, when my mum went to the hospital she recognised one of the A&E nurses who she trained. I was grounded for 6 months which I thought back then as well as now was pretty generous!

Maybe more due to a certain someone (I messed up the spoiler markdown so just edited out the name) working through the understandable trauma incurred?

This is the way, you can pick up a Surface Pro 6 for under £250 here on eBay, i7 and 16GB

Oi, we already have a (copy of) the Bayeux Tapestry at home

The original was the first film I watched at the cinema so hearing at least lightly positive reviews was enough to get me to see it today. I'm pretty much in agreement with the reviews, at the very least an entertaining film but not much more, which is entirely what I expected and wanted

 

Some classic dubby vibes to go along with the hot weather here rn

 

One of my fave Tozzi tracks amongst many, this is layered so beautifully

 

A track that encapsulates techno for me, slowly building layer upon layer with a mind shattering resolution. One of my favourite live acts

 

One of my favourite artists of all time, rest in peace

 

With thanks to @itsAsin, think I prefer the original but it's certainly very interesting with the keys on top, almost a noir vibe at times

 

I feel a bit sheepish having to ask this, but has anyone successfully gotten their deck to display on a LG TV (C2 to be precise)? I have the official dock and that works for other devices like my laptop or surface pro but no dice with the deck itself.

I've tried various things like resetting the device, resetting the dock, changing the order of connection them all up but not managed to get anything to show it. I also checked that the HDMI cable I'm using works for up to 8k. A bit frustrating as one of the reasons I got the device was to be the living room PC/link to my gaming PC!

 

Any tips the best way(s) to watch the upcoming season? I'm also contemplating paying for DAZN (based in the UK)... with a temporary card that I can cancel given all the negative Trustpilot reviews

Just a small attempt to get more, or indeed any activity going here. I'm also genuinely curious, what have folks been listening to lately? If there's enough interest I could make this a monthly post.

For myself, a few below:

Irini - s/t: has probably become my fave Traumprinz/DJ Metatron album which says something, not just techno/trance/ambient but other styles like breaks/dnb scattered about

Air Liquide - Abuse Your Illusions: kicking myself that it took so long to get into them, still discovering a lot!

Sandwell District - Feed Forward: stone cold classic that fits most moods personally, RIP Juan
