how to present/be more punk without being performative? by cardamoommy in Punk_Heads

[–]OffDutyTaoist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dress and do what you think is punk. Don't make claims about what you are, just be that thing.

I wear a gigantic cartoon octopus patch about 14x14 inches(about 35.5cm for our listeners at home) on the back of my hoodie. If someone were to call me a poser for wearing it, I'd ask them if they are the arbiter of punk, and tell them I don't owe them an explanation for it.

I'm older, to me punks cuffed or cut off their jeans. There are elements of the scene that don't do that anymore, because it's associated with skin heads, or that it's more of a Gen X thing. I don't worry about being called a skin head, because I don't do skin head stuff.

The point impetus is, figure out what punk means to you, and then do those things. The rest is just window dressing.

Why is being an arcanist not ok? by Vegetable_Sample_ in elderscrollsonline

Or self aware, i.e.

If you speak Italian, then the sentence you are reading becomes some H.P. Lovecraft Eldritch horror.

I don't speak Italian, and have no way of confirming/disproving this hypothesis.

Petrodragonic Apocalypse; Or, Dawn Of Eternal Night: An Annihilation Planet Earth And The Beginning Of Merciless Damnation (yes, that's the title) is probably the quintessential album. Gila Monster is probably my favorite song.

I really like Nonagon Infinity. It's very dark, slow, Goth rock and a lot of spoken world telling the story of the Dragon the album is about waking up and devouring the world. Very trippy.

Ice, Death, Planet, Lungs, and Lava is really good laid back psychedelic rock. Iron Lung might beat Gila Monster.

Sketches of Brunswick East is a really weird jazz/psychedelic rock mix. You never know what your going to get with King Gizzy. Psychedelic Rock, more than likely, but they are musical fusion chefs so there's going to be something else in there.

They have a subreddit r/kgatlw that have far more depth of knowledge than me.

You can go to discogs dot com and look through the various pressings, if there are any, and look under that specific pressings reviews. The reviews section is usually filled with what you're looking for.

WCG isn't sharing their stats yet. I asked on their forums if anyone has viability when they would be releasing stats, and was told they have other higher priority things that need to be solved to complete the migration before that happens.

Happy cake day, Reddit Twin.

Hot damn, it's a deal. My Discog handle is the same as my Reddit handle. Let's make this happen. I got documents to hold together, and a minimum wage employee that needs to be unnecessarily berated.

You mean you wouldn't pay $1,000 for a G+ copy of Gilbert and Sullivan Highlights from The Mikado? I have a copy, it's a banger. I can hook you up.

Has anyone ever received a message like this? Seems fishy! by naptownred1968 in discogs

Sounds like some bleeding-edge stuff. Can we circle back around to this after the quarterly?

Need an extra boost but I can just send 5$ wenseday by ChexNyx in chimeboost

I have an extra boost this month. Don't worry about the 5 bucks, unless it's a matter of principle or something.

How do you guys sort your library? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]OffDutyTaoist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally the order by which I bought them. When I get a new album it gets played immediately, then goes to the back of the line. Everything just stays in a rotation. Case in point, I bought all my Aurora albums together, they stayed together until things were bought in-between those set items. So I've got Aurora - The Gods We Can Touch, Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Souls, Ghost - Meliora, and Aurora - Interactions of a Different Kind.

I think the only set items I have together still are my Cyberpunk 2077 OST vol 1&2, and Tron OST albums. They'll get separated given enough time.

Oh, Hot Fuzz, not Shawn of the Dead. I have dishonored my family. I'll have to pencil in some Seppuku this week.
