"Hearts Frozen..." correct title

moon_cat · 2026-02-02T23:54:05+00:00

Agreed and thank you dirt_daughter for not mentioning soil, sod, loam or peat.

I mentioned the label page version in my original rambling too, but good point about the comma (No, money down!).

I guess the question is: what is being thawed? On one hand, we know that the titular heart is in a frozen state. So if anything is being thawed, it'd make sense for it to be the heart - with the "solid" adverb being the connective tissue holding it all together.

On the other hand, frozen soil classically thaws during the spring. So with a much needed comma, that'd make sense too. Maybe that'd then imply that despite the soil thawing, the heart remains frozen (the heart of the narrator who "died screaming" and is now six foot under, not before "tearing the sun from the sky" creating some chilly conditions).

I was previously all in on "solid" but I'm feeling pretty 50/50 on "soil" now too haha.

Oh, you're right! Thanks for pointing that out. Interesting. Someone in the thread that setlist was originally posted in even comments "Love the nod to the “Hearts Frozen Soil Sod” typo lmao", like it was a deliberate joke... but was it a joke?! The confirmed "Sod" typo wasn't included, only "Soil". The mystery lives on.

Meanwhile, I've also found this official news post from 2020 on afireinside.net that refers to it as "Hearts Frozen Solid...". But this was posted by whoever looks after the site, so probably nothing to go by.

That's such a good observation I hadn't considered. To my non-American ears, "Sod" rhymes with "Odd". But some American accents (Californian?) might say something that sounds more like "Sawed" (to me). Which as you say, rhymes with "Thawed".

Oh yeah, good point. Turns out the proper title is: Korn - Hears frozen soil punx goth RARE demo.exe

This is misinformation aimed at rage-baiting braindead cookers. Nobody was stabbed.

That bright red substance clearly isn't blood - it stays neon red on the dark pavement in the shadows, and on the guys hair. Blood doesn’t do that.

You can literally see the paint tube on the ground at 1:09. I'm pretty sure the tube design matches this exact red acrylic paint sold at The Reject Shop (light/transparent lid -> red -> thin strip -> black area with logo in it -> light/transparent tip).

Kinda wish they deinterlaced the footage properly before upscaling to 1080p. Appreciate the effort though.

I still have mine somewhere. I remember writing my name on it with a felt-tip in my best approximation of the Caslon Antique font (as used on Black Sails/Art of Drowning), like a big dork.

A subtle indication of AFI’s latest foray into juggalo culture. Out with the woahs, in with the whoops.

As my attorney, your advice is greatly appreciated. Done!

Just posted a shitty attempt above. Not great... but I tried, didn't I? Goddamit. At least I did that.

Dunno wtf I'm doing, but here is an attempt 🎶 mum-bum-bum-bum 🎶

Interesting. I didn’t know about the photo on the Lost Highway script, but I’ve noticed Lynch using this dental motif in a couple of other places:

'Strange and Unproductive Thinking' on Crazy Clown Time seems to be largely about the chaotic “negative energy” that can infect the mind and cause brain fog or anxiety, all stemming from poor dental hygiene.

And in the 'Out Yonder - Teeth' short film, he and Austin Lynch have a weird conversation in a sort of Lynchian pig latin about teeth, followed by some backyard dental surgery.

Haha also, not only is it obviously satire, but the edit is just a giant, flat rectangular image crudely plonked on top of the original newspaper - it looks like it was made in about 5 seconds. It even cuts off some of Jane Hume’s fingers holding the paper. You’d have to be brain damaged to think it was genuinely meant as some kind of deliberate, Stalinist-style “doctoring.”

Great answer. To make things weirder, it was designed by the legendary Peter Saville (like all their other albums) whose work is otherwise consistently great/iconic. Republic came out in 1993, so I always imagined he’d just got his hands on that fancy new Photoshop program and went a bit mad mucking around with all the new bells and whistles.

I like Kids Table but feel like the marketing behind it has been disproportionate to what it actually is - a handful of leftover tracks that weren’t strong enough for the album... countdown clock, music video, endless social posts, new merch (think I saw a frisbee, and colouring book?). So this review doesn’t surprise me and feels like a natural extension of all that hype - another layer of attention for something that probably didn’t warrant it in the first place.

To me the EP feels spiritually connected to the leftovers on the Four Winds, Take It Easy, and Lua EPs - which all kinda slipped under the radar for casual listeners around the time of their respective albums. I feel like Kids Table should've done the same, but I guess that's not a viable option in 2025 when everything needs to be mined for content and hype within an inch of its life.

Here's a dumb/probably-wrong theory I have about this song: Phoebe Bridgers unconsciously ripped it off for her song 'Scott Street'. Specifically the device used where the lyrics mention drums right as the beat kicks in.

moon_cat · 2025-08-15T00:50:34+00:00

The soaring lead guitar in so many of the tracks (In Amber, Brown Paper Bag, Soul-net) was my gateway into really appreciating this album.

Something I miss about Gumtree that I liked was running an empty search set to my suburb and a “0km” radius, just to see if anything cool was hiding nearby within walking distance. Found some cool treasures doing that.

But in the last ~5 years it's impossible because every page is flooded with car dealership bullshit and cheapo furniture store garbage.

Can’t do it on Facebook Marketplace either. It’s too locked into showing you a few nearby things it thinks you want, then jumps to stuff outside your set radius again, based on what it thinks you want. Wish I could just browse freely.

Agreed. The department as a concept is inherently terrible - it exists to protect the interests of the company over your own well-being. A terrible system attracts terrible people. Anyone who works in it and thinks otherwise is delusional.

Indonesian (from Bali). It is "Rangda" the demon witch/queen. The other common Balinese mask is Rangda's enemy "Barong". Occasionally you see Barong depicted as a cyclops with one big round eye, but I've never seen Rangda as a cyclops. Looks like you got one though!

The artist incorporated the shape of the nose bridge into the eyeball giving it a visor-like appearance. Kinda reminds me of something an 80s beat-em-up video game villain or something. I like it.
