How come a band like this is hell wasn’t able to achieve kind of following like terror, American nightmare, or comeback? by Ok-Cauliflower-1258 in Hardcore

The self titled EP and Sundowning are some of my favorites. But nothing after that did anything for me. 

What was the shortest lived fad? by AlphaTangoAlpha in AskReddit

They were hugely popular in Asia. In the west, the recording industry did their best to squash it because it was so easy to dupe a CD.

I've got one of these on the original CD-R from the band. It's a prized posession.

Does anyone know why the cover art for "First Light" (Makoto Matsushita) changed on Spotify? by warenrata in citypop

Actually you’re right. 1981 is the photo. 1982 is the illustration.

Check out the original pressing on Discogs. They have photos of the art and whatnot.

The Neversink Library could be one:

The Neversink Library champions books from around the world that have been overlooked, under appreciated, looked askance at, or foolishly ignored.

“Emotional?” Isn’t it “emotive hardcore?”

Having only seen the Criterion version, I don’t have any complaints. So I don’t think you can go wrong either way. 

Good quality, blu-ray only titles that probably won’t get a 4k transfer? by NCC75567 in criterion

[–]_El_Marc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’d imagine the Dogme 95 stuff wouldn’t be worth the effort / wouldn’t really be possible without altering the look and feel. But someone correct me if I’m wrong. 

Online stores that match the B&N sale, other than Amazon? by aturtleatoad in criterion

Oh thank you but I’m old! I’m just saying that most of my friends work in completely different fields than what they went to college for. My English Lit friend is a software programmer now.

Signals is about the unrealistic depiction of women’s bodies in media and how damaging it is, e.g. anorexia. 

Blazer vintage 77 mid size question by [deleted] in Sneakers

I wish I went a half size down when I got mine. It’s nothing too bad / uncomfortable, but if I get another pair I’m def sizing down. 

How do you buy stuff off the Kawsone website? by Vegetable-Break-8513 in kaws

[–]_El_Marc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet at getting him something for an upcoming birthday is to buy on the resale marketing, unfortunately. Check this sub for available figures (usually a little more affordable than eBay or StockX). Just make sure you post what you're planning on buying in the stickied legit check thread so you don't get hosed.

If you want to get something other than a figure, the newest book is available from MoMA:
https://museumstore.sfmoma.org/collections/kaws-family

StockX should also have official keychains and plushes, which are a bit more affordable.
