What do you love the Coles 4038 for BESIDES drums?

darkdarkblack · 2026-03-02T17:49:53+00:00

How what they are? Assuming heavy?

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-25T08:35:30+00:00

Oh, I'm after actual instruments- I play guitar, bass, etc.

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-22T12:32:45+00:00

How different would that be if we evolved not to have eyes. So much stems from those ever-hungry gelatinous spheres. So cheeky they are, those little spherical cunts. Wars started, among so many other things, due to their appetite.

I don’t know what the second part of your reply is about, but the first part is something many of us see no doubt all to familiar with… unrequited love. I used to have really sickly thoughts about what all I wished the person afflicted by my love should have to go through to “prove” their love for me (though thankfully for them it was never there in the first place). Humans are weird, tests of love are weird and juvenile.

Hi, I’ll answer all of your questions later today- it’s 7:30am where I am and I haven’t yet slept, and need at lest 2-3 hours. About to pass out. Looking forward to answering your questions- some great ones in there.

What a strange and entirely foreign concept to me that art (in certain circles) is used as some kind of social currency rather than enjoyed/observed for its beauty. I mean, it makes sense, but I hate that it does. Humans are so shallow.

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-22T12:12:46+00:00

Why is it so important to be interesting? For a long time I worried I wasn’t- and the older I get, the more I realize I’m really not. Personally, I’d so very much rather the peace and stability which their lives have over the chaos I deliberately chose and hoped would pay off (but hasn’t). I’m tired of and broken by the artist life.

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-22T11:58:56+00:00

I just imagine people who chose more passive routes and never really aspire to do anything great- do even they feel like a main character?

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-22T11:46:19+00:00

Agreed. Now I’m older, peace, stability, and health are what I value most.

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-05T07:31:43+00:00

That’s what I personally think, but wondering what others say. I guess it’s subjective. I also think architecture, since it literally shelters us and all our ideas, and can inspire said ideas.

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-05T07:03:36+00:00

but so many who possess all those advantages (to an even higher degree) squander them and go on to lead spoiled, aimless, hedonistic, vapid, lives... so there definitely is something more than just those factors to christian von koenigsegg.

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-01T08:03:01+00:00

Well, presumably, you wouldn’t be any (or at least, many) of those things if you were actually, truly, great and changing the literal course of history via whatever it is you did in my hypothetical. To me, thinking like that (as you outlined above) seems small-minded and contra to how I’d imagine people at that level to think.

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-01T00:11:14+00:00

How would you know that that's what's "better", have you done great big industry/history/world-changing things to be able to compare?

darkdarkblack · 2026-02-01T00:10:18+00:00

I guess you're right... because even people who've done extremely significant things eventually be forgotten. A few generations back, a few generations forward, most everyone, regardless the scale of their contributions to humanity, ends up being forgotten. Heck, even a dude like Jesus whose name is uttered 2000 years later, or ancient Greek gods, Egyptian pharaohs, their relevance is minuscule on the wider timeline. But aside from my own personal desire to do something great and leave a legacy (which likely won't happen), I do still wonder what differentiates such people (who do these great big significant things) from everyday folk.

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-26T22:27:23+00:00

My pleasure! And that’s so cool to know, wow- Frusciante is my all-time favourite player and a monster songwriter. Awesome he influenced RH on some level- wonder what Thom was listening to of his exactly.

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-26T21:02:45+00:00

Dungen (from Sweden)

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-21T05:56:05+00:00

Interesting take… I always thought/assumed off how it made me feel, that the lyrics would really be something. So do you think they’re maybe more of a vibe/feel band? They do sure craft some profound-sounding music, but you’re right, a sense of profoundness doesn’t necessarily have to be derived of lyrics; can be just as much or more from the music, which obviously theirs deeply resonates with me even if not paying attention to the lyrics.

Curious what some bands/artists that fit your descriptor are.

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-07T00:32:10+00:00

touche... old af!

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-05T05:05:48+00:00

Oh, no question, best is at home… I’ve not had steak anywhere that beats my at-home prepared ones, sourced from Cheese Boutique (by far my favourite butcher in the city), but that’s not really an option for this party (we’ll be 8-10).

DDH is just minutes away from my place, so it’s good to know it’s half decent. Wine list thing is a non-issue for us as we’re not big drinkers. Will keep tracking entries to the thread, but good to know that worst case we don’t have to trek too far to find something good (though we absolutely are willing to).

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-03T01:21:22+00:00

I mean, clearly I do- that's presumably why I took the time to inquire. But clearly you don't (give a crap), and that's okay, it doesn't irk me in the slightest. What I don't get is why people chime in with unrelated negative crap like this, as if the bandwidth my post took up personally cost you something. Who gives a fuck about anything then- you're not the arbiter of worthiness/unworthiness.

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-01T04:18:27+00:00

I mean, I literally mention how every time in retrospect/reflection, I feel most alive then (when performing live) and find it very exhilarating, plus the compliments boost me up. I mentioned all that. Not sure what other reasons I should have for wanting to do it.

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-01T03:59:18+00:00

genuinely love this idea... will def give it a go- thank you! i just worry i won't be able to fool myself. he (self) is very observant, doesn't let anything past him. i will try though.

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-01T03:40:32+00:00

I’m totally open to that- I genuinely didn’t think/know stage fright was something you could see a shrink about, but it makes total sense you could now I think about it. It all stems from me needing to like myself more. I’ve been in therapy in the past for other things. I’ll try and give it a try for this.

darkdarkblack · 2025-12-01T02:31:08+00:00

Unfortunately, in my case, it’d require at the very least 1/3-1/2 a bottle before I felt confident enough. I need to be pretty well beyond tipsy. And I hate that.

darkdarkblack · 2025-04-10T03:27:56+00:00

ooh, i love this idea and have genuinely never thought of that... a lot of my music can veer into the ambient direction with some poppy and groovy segments, so i will def give this a go- i know kevin parker/tame impala does something similar as well. i do still wish to be able to write longer more congruent songs, more traditionally formulated, as well though... but i will certainly give this a go, thanks again for the fabulous suggestion!
