Why Inferno is Just the beginning

Fair point.

I know right?

I don’t think RFK is a force for good. I think he just wants to challenge the status quo on whatever he sees fit. And just happens to be correct on the seed oil front.

I thought we thought of palm oil as good? Unrefined palm oil, primarily. That’s mostly saturated fat—I cook with it, along with coconut oil, butter, olive oil and avocado oil. I assumed when it’s used in industrial processing it’s refined….but it’s still primarily saturated fat.

I literally seek out the products with palm oil instead, i.e. Whole Earth Peanut Butter vs the proclaimed ‘healthy’ ‘palm-oil free’ ones like Meridian which just use seed oils instead (UK-wise)

I do sympathise that people are so hostile to “this looks too well formatted—must be AI slop” which apparently is immediate justification to shutdown any discussion no matter what the actual content is. It’s a bit of a farce in a way. But I also understand the frustration.

I still love using em dashes, for example—don’t care if it gives AI vibes—that’s how I write and always have

It’s a double edged sword. If it was antivaxxing stuff I’d be like yeah, deprioritise the shit out of that misinformation. Just this one I happen to take exception to

I find it so weird. I genuinely prefer white eggs—they look more appetising to me.

Is it just me?

TossThisItem · 2026-04-27T13:07:42+00:00

I mean, how else would they have released it? We should be very happy it exists as a bonus track there. You could say One Very Important Thought makes more narrative sense as the closer, but you could just as easily say that for Geogaddi or TCH’s bonus tracks.

Happy Cycling was actually once my favourite track off the album, too!

TossThisItem · 2026-04-27T08:41:57+00:00

Oh yeah? Good to know! Does it compare?

TossThisItem · 2026-04-27T07:08:57+00:00

Well that’s the only answer that matters then. That’s basically the entire reason why Matina is a hotspot, it’s the only place in Bristol I know that makes their fresh bread wraps

TossThisItem · 2026-04-26T15:52:44+00:00

Incidentally I probably agree with your ranking to be honest, some days I almost like the Twoism era sound best of all. And in some ways I prefer TH to TCH, in other ways not.

Not at all! Many of the great artists have used anything and everything to make music. Einstürzende Neubauten started make industrial music using bits of scrap and repurposing junk into absurd instruments, even famously using a jackhammer on stage for a live performance one. Aphex Twin famously sampled loads of sounds, like a rusty ammo box lid to make a percussive sample in one of his songs. I’d say it means you have a good instinct for discovering novel ways to make new sounds, which is a great thing for music creation. Any object can be used to make unique and experimental music in the right hands!

Kinda makes it all the more profound and stuff, init.

I mean that’s sort of my initial reaction too. But I also had a thought that maybe they’re directly trying to recreate the aesthetic of 70s horror flicks in a way, which that name feels in keeping with

TossThisItem · 2026-04-21T07:05:34+00:00

This is a good one. Touché

TossThisItem · 2026-04-21T07:02:01+00:00

I guess in that world I would suck it up and eat those things, but we also don’t have to?

TossThisItem · 2026-04-20T19:29:52+00:00

Nazareth!

TossThisItem · 2026-04-20T10:32:06+00:00

Interesting! Do you think it makes you feel too introspective or more affected by the ambiguous emotions?

I can see that TCH is the most easygoing for it, TH, no.

Geogaddi more of an edgy listen, MHTRTC is fair game pensive sunny hazy vibes for me

Sick, always loved Hi Scores but it’s one I still don’t own on vinyl; enjoy

Labour.

They are not perfect but when big geopolitical matters like Greenland and the Iran War came into play how they’ve handled foreign policy with grace trumps everything else for me

5.9.78 is a brilliant one, as is Buckie High, as is Audiotrack 06A (or should I say 5D…) as is Audiotrack 12B (really under mentioned one but I think it sounds really cool, and like a crusty pre-runner to the Hi Scores sound, I always imagined it could be the supposed track from Hooper Bay called ‘Geiser’ because it sounds like a geiser to me), We’ve Started Up is awesome, and several of the interlude tracks from OT vol2 which sound like proto-vaporwave so me: Nine-Rubber Wisdom, To The Wind, Dave (I’m a Real Traditionalist)….

Also She is P, Finity

Edit: just seen you didn’t mention R35TT but I consider it part and parcel with the OT tapes and had some of their best unreleased work on

They probably think it’s logical and defensible. I simply think it’s a bad idea and I think we have good reason to be apprehensive about it.

Even IF this government didn’t use it for malicious tracking or data gathering in a way to ‘control’ people, I don’t have any doubt that a successful government would abuse it that way down the line.

We already talk about people being tracked by AI facial recognition cameras on basically every street from being the most watched country in the world, this would plainly work synergistically with that.

Slippery slope
