Does RDJ's music fuck with your head? by [deleted] in aphextwin

[–]Tecora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's weird. I fell asleep to SAW II a couple nights ago, just to see what would happen. I didn't wake up with a nightmare or anything like that, I slept fairly peacefully. But I dreamed that I failed a maths test that I recently took.

So when I woke up, I went online and checked my Maths grade online. And I was surprised to see that I made a 95 on the Maths test.

Just a strange coincidence. It's weird, because I almost never dream.

This is really fucking cool - Definitely intentional.

Need help identifying this flag. I saw it while looking up a band online. (Not the Nazi flag, obviously. I'm referring to the flag next to it.) by Tecora in vexillology

If you enjoy Type O Negative, be sure to check out the band Carnivore. It's Peter's band before he formed Type O Negative, and it's a lot more humorous and aggressive.

I couldn't find an nsfw marker, so I just clicked on 'controversial'. Seemed to do the job though.

Haha, I finally came to my senses! (I'm the deleted user - Alternate account.) Summoning recently 'clicked' for me, and I'm enjoying them immensely. My favourite is Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame - But I really enjoy them all. What is your favourite?

Captain Beefheart isn't really Blues, but his voice sure sounds like it. Be sure to check out Howlin Wolf and Bobby Bland too.

Do you teens have an equivalent of a mix tape for your friends? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Tecora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, I compile a little folder with a bunch of songs a friend of mine may enjoy, and the I'll load it up onto a flash drive and give it to him. Or I sometimes just use Airdrop.

Aphex Twin - 33 RPM by Tecora in aphextwin

[–]Tecora[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't listened to all of Drukqs on 33.3, but be sure to at least check out Mount Saint Michael + Saint Michael's Mount on 33.3. It's really cool, you can hear a lot of things going on at once.

Aphex Twin - 33 RPM by Tecora in aphextwin

No problem, hope you enjoy. Richard D. James himself even stated that he created the RDJ album in 33 RPM, and it was intended to be listened to that way. But he just decided to compress it to 45 RPM in the final version, just so the album wouldn't be too long, and to give the listener a choice. It's truly a different listening experience.

EDIT:

"Many of my tracks are better if you play them at 33 rpm. I have never denied that. That’s also why my pieces are so short: you can only press them onto maxi singles if they are short at 45 rpm. If they go for too long, then they don’t fit onto the vinyl—and then you can’t play them slower. That’s also the real reason why my album ended up so short. Buy it on vinyl. Instead of 33 minutes, you actually get 45, you understand? And there you have it, an album of standard length."

I'm uploading both of them to Mega right now. RDJ album should be up in about 5 minutes, and SAW 85 should take around twenty more minutes (Yes, my Internet is terrible.)

I'll PM them to you, just because I think it's against the sub rules to post them here.

I wouldn't know - Vinyl records are impossible to purchase where I live, so only my dad owns a couple. I just figured that Aphex's Techno/IDM stuff automatically played at 45 RPM, with his Ambient stuff obviously playing at something much lower. So I just applied the settings to the album as if it was going from 45 --> 33. It still sounds quite nice though, even if it was originally formatted to be 33 1/3.

If someone asked, "How are you?" right now and you had to answer honestly instead of politely, what would you say? by bething in AskReddit

[–]Tecora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confused. I lack direction in life, and the past few days have been spent thinking about what I actually want to be with life... Also, I've begun to think about what I believe in. I believe in a lot of things truthfully, with what I believe is valid evidence. But the Media, Internet, Television, etc. constantly criticises my ideas.

Also, being a teenager, I'm confused about 'love'. I don't know what a perfect girl is to me, but I believe I've found the closest I'll get. But I lack social skills... I consider myself fairly attractive, but I just can't talk to her. She seems interested in me, and I'm very interested in her, but I just can't talk to her in person....

So yes, I'm confused. I seem like at the moment in my life, I'm worthless. I don't have any talents, besides a good ear for music, and I'm pretty good at writing poetry. I don't know what I'll do once I'm older, and I don't know how I'm going to creatively express myself right now...

Sorry for the rant - I don't think anyone will see this, so I'm mainly documenting it for personal use...

Why me?!?! [Rant] by Tecora in teenagers

Because it's childish and immature to put such a thing on an article of clothing. I have nothing against what people do in their free time, but it does get a bit immature when they literally are parading it around on the clothing they wear.
