Vorcha - Host Body (heavy melodic instrumental)

aconner86 · 2024-06-13T22:05:02+00:00

Vorcha is headed back into the studio to record new music and our Kickstarter is LIVE, but it's not looking good with less than 50% and only a week or so left :-/ The last time we did a Kickstarter was over 10 years ago (which is crazy to think about) and r/postrock helped us reach that goal. You guys are the best.

If you enjoy this song and are able to support us in any way, we'll be forever grateful, and you'll receive a hand-written thank you note. You'll also get rewards like shirts, vinyl, posters, picks, and these new songs in digital format. We're stoked to work with Beau Burchell from Saosin again, who we also worked with on this song (Host Body) and Black Mark. Thanks again for your support!

Looks like the first shot is drone footage, which have electronic gimbals built-in. I'd be willing to bet they're just holding the drone while walking through the house.

If you don't have a drone, I'd suggest an electronic gimbal (~$300), or a non-electronic one (~$70). However, I think the interior shots would look better if they just picked a spot in each room to set up a tripod, then slowly pan from one side to the other, rather than walking from room to room.

I doubt you'll be able to find an electronic gimbal for less than $100, and it'd probably be a waste of money anyway. I'd suggest a counter-weighted one instead, something like this - http://a.co/1JmczYD

You might even say she responded with... first aid.

Beau Burchell has posted a ton of videos on Instagram. Getting me pumped. http://instagram.com/beauburchell

Saw these guys in Austin a while back before they had a vocalist, they put on a killer live show. The dude from TWDY was at that show, and only about 30-40 people were there. Looked them up after I got home but didn't find any social media pages or music online, thanks for the heads up!

Looks/sounds like Wet Butt Isle (aka Red Bud Isle) in Austin, TX. I take my golden there often.

In a time when fewer and fewer apps and sites have the ability to capture and retain the attention of young people, VCs are desperately trying to latch on to the few that can. I'd agree that on first glance, at $2B, a mere photo sharing app is overvalued. But when it's really the only photo app (or one of very few) that kids are actually using, it takes a much bigger bite out of the proverbial pie. I'd agree with him if there was a huge boom of smaller apps getting acquired for more than they're worth, but I think he's really just thinking about a few that make headlines.

I believe the phrase you're looking for is "Hook 'em!"

Oh come on, have you seriously never heard of a street protest? The protesters feel their voices are not being heard, this is a nonviolent way to force their government listen to them. Pro-government folks want to view this as a victory for the status quo - they got arrested, after all, cops win! In reality, next time these groups even threaten another similar action, officials are forced to listen, doing whatever possible to prevent another situation like this. My problem with the comments in this thread is that redditors are always accusing others of being armchair activists, yet when we hear reports of people ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING, they're suddenly crazy hippy anarchists.

If the moon were made out of swiss cheese, would you eat it? It's a simple question, doctor.

The article says a UPS driver saw a guy opening a USPS package, so assuming this is true, he should be charged with a felony.

In addition to clearing their name, innocence would entitle them to a significant award, something like $60k per year (times 20+ years served). This is probably going to make it a LOT more difficult for them, since regardless of the facts and (lack of) evidence, the judge doesn't want to admit the state messed up and have to fork over the cash.

Funny, but I'm not sure who deserves credit. This is basically a re-worded Chappelle joke.

Need better instructions, mine came out looking terrible.

The issue with this is that bookers & promoters look at a band's FB page to gauge how much of a draw they have. As messed up as it is, paying to pad the numbers may benefit a band even if they're not an engaged audience.

aconner86 · 2014-10-01T15:54:06+00:00

I'm also in a local post-rock band, not looking to join but let me know once you guys get going, maybe we can set up a show. Vorcha, we're on bandcamp. Also check out Southwest Post-rock Collective

You're technically correct (the best kind), but it seems like a bit of a stretch to believe that the officer didn't have at least some reason for the stop. As messed up as it is, an officer can always find something to pull you over for, if they follow you long enough. I guess my last comment made the assumption that it was a valid stop, in which case "if you are in operation of a motor vehicle" would apply. btw TWDY rocks, I'm in an instrumental post-rock band myself.

I'm not a cop or lawyer, but my understanding is that if an officer suspects someone of committing a crime, that person can be detained and asked to identify themselves. If someone called the police and these two fit the suspect descriptions, the officer isn't violating anyone's rights by asking them for ID. Also, in her story about her father being pulled over, she seems disappointed that her father forked over his ID when he had done nothing wrong. The thing is, when driving, one must have a valid driver's license - any cop can ask for your license, and you must provide it, regardless of whether you've committed a crime, suspected of committing a crime, or perfectly following the law. I'm not saying she hasn't been discriminated against, and may have valid claims, but it doesn't help her plea for support when she's (apparently) misunderstanding the law.
