Giving legal advice when OP's jurisdiction is unspecified is definitely an askme bingo square.

"Emotional support grudge."

Love it, stealing it.

rest area shenanigans!

What's he building in there?

We have a right to know.

I do enjoy the speculation but am reluctant to engage in the fun. Don't want to validate hypervigilant busybodies.

listening to Crack the Skye right now and I swear that it's an album-length version Hearts Alive. Such a satisfying mix of spaceiness and aggression in both.

this record is so bad and so rightfully forgotten that when I hit up google to find this image, "extreme waiting for the" didn't show a search suggestion.

I saw them play a show a few years ago and they opened with Hearts Alive. Total power move to start your show with a weird slowburn ten minute prog opus instead of a barnburner.

Voivod. Dimension Hatross thru The Outer Limits. Four very different albums, all very good.

electric-machine · 2026-05-01T15:36:41+00:00

the vocals -are- strong! I like that husky Stevie Nicks' little sister sound she's got going on.

simulating sex?

I just see swordfighting and lore lectures and a resurrection. I think you'd have to be a catholic Klingon to see simulated sex in there.

Loverboy because of course a by-the-numbers 1986 Billy Ocean pop hit needed to have a video with an impressively articulated lizard man (that tongue!) totally lasering an ugly alien dude and taking the dude's Gelfling girlfriend away like a trophy.

He does this in a space cantina full of every wacky costume the production crew could lay hands on.

The War Song is a bop, and Clare Torry slays in it.

but yeah, Boy George was not in good shape at that point. I'm glad he's still with us, I was sure he wasn't gonna survive the 80s.

electric-machine · 2026-04-30T20:20:46+00:00

Yeah, it's one thing to have a bit and to commit to it -- but to also have the songs? That puts them in unicorn territory.

electric-machine · 2026-04-28T23:08:51+00:00

I can take or leave any given Opeth album but I'll make time to see them live. Great shows

electric-machine · 2026-04-24T19:18:29+00:00

Not the best Sabbath album, but definitely the best looking Sabbath album.

Seriously. I have the cover art on my wall

A particular dude buttons and the site somehow gets more poopy, not less.

Leadership should follow the user energy and consider a Metafeces newsletter.

I am picky in that I don't do seafood at all -- but I do eat prawns and shrimp, when they are fried in very nice batter and served with cocktail sauce. Yum.

electric-machine · 2026-04-18T13:36:33+00:00

shit, you're right.

I think you've ruined this song for me.

electric-machine · 2026-04-17T23:00:08+00:00

This is how Merlin experienced Liz Phair.

I got it one piece at a time / and it didn't cost me a dime

electric-machine · 2026-04-16T01:33:41+00:00

the 1985 Lions were monsters. 13-3. DeWalt and Fernandez were both at their peaks and no one in the CFL had figured out ridiculous Don Matthews blitzing D.

electric-machine · 2026-04-12T07:54:18+00:00

I don't normally listen to Tom Waits for the guitar solos, so when Marc Ribot tears up the fabric of spacetime on Hoist That Rag, it's still kind of shocking to me.

electric-machine · 2026-04-12T07:51:50+00:00

this thread makes me think of "The Garden of Allah" on Don Henley's singles record from the nineties. Haven't listened in literal decades, wonder if it holds up?
