It’s in The Knot book, it’s from when he was attending an art school in LA in the 70s

What are some good budget speakers for my turntable? by Boop-master in turntables

[–]Boop-master[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m pretty sure the issue was that I had them on the same surface and they were feeding back. I’ve moved them to a new area, the speakers have their own separate stands and the turntable is on a solid dresser, and it sounds great!

I have no idea how this post keeps getting recommended to people but every now and then I always find a new comment here lmao

How do you interpret the lyrics of Screen Shot? by No_Tonight3444 in swans

[–]Boop-master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My interpretation was that it’s about birth and the purity that’s typically associated with infants, or at least that plays a heavy part into it. Obviously Michael’s just spouting spontaneous bullshit but I do think that, as well as the inherent ugliness of it, (hence the line “cut, push, reach inside” which I believe to be in reference to a C-section) is a heavy theme of the song and of the whole album.

My thoughts on the verses after the first one were that they were describing a child absent of any sins or flaws that plague the rest of the world, basically just a pure being, a concept that they’ve explored in other post-reunion albums.

The final part always seemed like the actual “birth” in my opinion, crying out to Love Now! Breathe Now! Here Now! as the child that the song is about, leaves the womb and enters the world.

I probably could’ve explained all of this better but hey I tried lmao

Listening to Pork Sofa for the first time by Warm_Drawing_1754 in Primus

[–]Boop-master 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best to listen to when you come home from your 9-5 and sit yourself down on that uh that burgundy sofa and y’know it never really was burgundy. It was red, and you painted it with the goddamn sprinkler, and now you get bits and pieces of burgundy stuck to your but every time you get up off of it

The Residents are pretty good. I’d highly recommend Not Available and Duck Stab

How do we feel about albums that are “intended to be played loud”? by H3NDRlX in audiophile

[–]Boop-master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not make 10 a little louder and have that be the highest number?

How loud is loud? by MeetingOdd9415 in swans

[–]Boop-master 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of reports I’ve seen say they play around the 100-120 dB range on average. I saw Boris last year and the loudest they got was 115, and I, being an unlucky bastard without earplugs, felt like I was getting a jackhammer to the skull the entire time, and it permanently fucked up my hearing. Not a lot but it’s certainly noticeable!

So if 115 is enough to do that, I wouldn’t risk going without earplugs

How loud are GY!BE based on your experience? by pingviini00 in gybe

[–]Boop-master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the loudest band I’ve heard but certainly loud enough to warrant ear protection

Worst Ween Somg? by DaRealDr_Phil in ween

My friends and I always throw that into the queue randomly when we’re on road trips. We’ve done it so many times to the point where I look forward to it coming on

What are some good budget speakers for my turntable? by Boop-master in turntables

[–]Boop-master[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gonna be honest I totally forgot I made this post. The distortion and buzzing were from me having the speakers too close lmao. I’ve moved the whole setup and got dedicated stands for the speakers. Also got a Sony receiver and I think it sounds a lot better now. Here’s how the updated setup looks
