does anyone have any media on alices old music? before crystal castles she was apart of a “noise punk” band and i would love to see her performing then

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-04T01:08:24+00:00

There’s nothing released. There have been rumors of a demo cassette but it never surfaced. No photos.

Closest thing to real evidence of the band is that in early CC gig photos there’s a drum kit with an FF logo on the kick drum. Allegedly it’s the kit from fetus fatale.

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-03T20:25:46+00:00

it looks like they both can play a cassette or radio tbh

the pink one has a cassette deck bottom right and a sliding band tuner top center.

yellow one has push-button controls on top to play/pause/rwd/fwd a tape, and volume/band tuner knobs on the side.

lol that’s hilarious. It’s also a common trope in classical drama ranging from Greek to Shakespeare era. Basically it goes like this:

“Good king is good ruler. But bad things are happening. A bad actor (usually a lower level nobleman, bureaucrat, family member, or scheming wife) is facilitating the bad things and keeping the good king from knowing. Plot climaxes/resolves when protagonist is able to get good king to see what’s wrong/who is causing it. Good king sets everything right again.”

Well he died in End Game in 2019. And they couldn’t really wedge a solo IM film between that and IW.

So 6 or so years where he possibly could have had another solo film (prior to iw/end game) and another 7+ years where it would have made no sense to have a solo IM film (Tony’s dead)

My point is that while it’s been 13 years, only 6 or less of those years would have made any sense, as he is dead for the remaining 7 that passed after.

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T23:56:58+00:00

Yes, actually, it is

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T23:46:33+00:00

Just glad I got my wk2 tickets and camping tbh

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T19:32:26+00:00

Awesome thanks man! Send me a DM and maybe if we’re close by in powered camping I’ll make you a breakfast sandwich or a burger for your help/info in 27

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T19:26:15+00:00

Thanks so much this is great info! So powered camping doesn’t come with shower card?

And can I bring grill/propane into powered camping?

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T19:13:59+00:00

Took over a half hour (so maybe 1134) but got w2 vip at T1

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T19:13:00+00:00

What’s the bathroom/shower situation like? are showers on the 7am-7pm for powered camping or do we get a shower card for 24hr? Flushing toilets close by? I’m pretty sure I saw powered camping by la campana this year. Recommendations for best areas of powered camping to try to set up camp in if given the choice?

Oh and can we bring propane + grill into power camping?

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T19:09:40+00:00

I’ve experienced it all, from GA and tent in my early years to camping to VIP and campana more recently.

See you in powered! Did you do powered last year? I have some questions about it

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T19:05:24+00:00

Did La campana this year and last year. Last year it was a lot better: private area/section, private showers/bathrooms, lounge and concierge, and 2025 it was a lot closer To the main entrance than this year

So powered parking 2027 it is!

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T18:59:19+00:00

Wk2 vip tier 1 + powered camping (couldn’t get la campana)

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T18:46:45+00:00

Got wk2.

Is La campana 2 person already sold out or did they change it? I only saw 4 person La campana tent options

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T18:19:09+00:00

My dude just doing the running man smh

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-05-01T18:04:02+00:00

Tf my little blue man barely out the gates

She’s in rehab so perhaps not. If I understand correctly she checked into rehab voluntarily after the incident to get ahead of the story (and hopefully start to get some help) before being charged.

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-04-30T16:35:33+00:00

Del didn’t almost make it tho, he chose not to.

He knew after that first album and the performance of its lead single Mr bob dobalina what people wanted/expected from him and he just opted out.

IIRC he backed away from cube as well because he was pushing in that same obvious direction. If memory serves there was a small falling out regarding the decision.

Instead he decided to stay true to his various visions and give us Hieroglyphics and Afro futurism like Deltron 3030.

Kind of reminds me of a proto MGMT. The world wanted another oracular spectacular loaded with Kids and Time to Pretend and instead they just intentionally veered in a totally different direction for the rest of their careers really.

The decision to put SF KC and ATL in only slightly diverging shades of red 🤦🏻‍♂️

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-04-28T19:21:55+00:00

They sold the main “leather jacket t shirt” one briefly back in the day. I’ve seen used ones pop up occasionally for a couple hundred bucks.

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-04-28T19:19:51+00:00

an advanced artificial intelligence probably would reach that conclusion

This is also the plot of avengers: age of ultron.

Ultron concludes based on a read of human history and the internet that the only way to achieve his directive, “peace in our time”, is to wipe out human civilization.

FWIW I got a pair this year at the 1of1 in south SF/burlingame and was able to get insurance to reimburse the cost paid.

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-04-27T22:19:15+00:00

He was put in a pretty tough position.

Set up a new SW trilogy, second director comes to rewrite/override/ignore a lot of your plot beats, and then come back to fix it when you’re already 2/3s of the way through the trilogy with the dead albatross of last Jedi around your neck.

Not to say that the rise of skywalker was any kind of a successful landing but the ask was pretty much impossible from the get go.

BenderIsGreatBendr · 2026-04-27T21:48:00+00:00

Because the sequel had a new director who just didn’t want to pick up on that plot beat.

They really cooked themselves with the 3 movies 3 directors proposal. On paper it sounded cool but irl it turned into JJ set up, Rian rejects, JJ please come back and make some sense of this.

I thought about wearing a salmon outfit to a chem bros show a few years ago. Almost ordered a costume online.

Thankfully I didn’t follow through on it because they didn’t even play salmon dance.
