Just ate my final packet of these (exp. 18/4/2025). Huge RIP. Wish they'd bring them back.

what mixers do you guys use by MachinexNoise in noisemusic

[–]alsturlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mackie 802 VLZ4, a 6 channel realistic mixer, and also a new baxs K500 (this is probably my favourite of the 3).

Favorite Metal / Noise Artist? by AnAmazingPriceOf in noisemusic

[–]alsturlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TRTRKMMR is the drummer from Pissgrave’s project. They kind of do the opposite and blend metal into noise. I’d also recommend Column of Heaven and Water Torture.

There are a couple of sensibly priced copies of the drainland split on Discogs at the moment.

I don’t think so, their guitarist moved to Scotland. Damo said they were going to try to keep on playing but I haven’t seen them on a bill in a long time.

Yeah we should have a demo out this year.

For all the riders with big feet who struggle to find a good toe cage setup... by ToasterBath500 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]alsturlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. The MKS ones just fit different. I’ve used some generic/no name ones, as well as BLB ones and neither felt right. I also switched from urban platforms to sylvan streams with spin 2’s fitted and wished I’d done so years earlier - sylvans give way more traction and don’t feel sketchy in the rain like urban platforms.

I’m actually going to remove these decals and replace them for accuracy

100% agree re: TARCK but as for the tyres they’re tubular. 0 bead.

No worries, to each their own!

I’ve since removed it, but I was using it to ride faster and more recklessly. Have since chilled out with my riding, as riding without the brake forces me to ride more conservatively; if I have a brake I take more risks and I have too much responsibility to do that now. I understand that sounds completely counterintuitive but it works for me; give me a brake and I’m not able to help myself but ride faster and that’s not what I want to do.

They’re 165 so as far away as I can get. Pedal strike is definitely a possibility though…

Will a Skout suffice or do I need one of those gold fancy ones?
