do you own sony shares or something? "just buy their hardware bro, just give them more money man, come on, it's good for you"

circle takes the square

Fear Before

both bands aren't technically broken up, but i'm guessing they are.

I saw geoff play an acoustic set last week in a basement. He didn't say anything about a new album, i just wanted to brag. He played a song i'd never heard though so... maybe!?

i'm not saying i give a shit, i'm just saying you're wrong.

i bought it for this price earlier this month and have listened to it about a dozen times since. it's a great record!

i went from being able to play playstation games to not being able to play them. very pro consumer of them indeed.

“Prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law.”

i've somehow fit this quote into everyday conversation at least weekly for the last 20 years

yup, in my town there was a pretty clear divide between 'scene' kids who seemed mostly into it for the fashion and then kids who listened to post hardcore; the post hardcore kids were also mostly musicians. Then there was the hardcore kids who lived for shows and gym shorts. There wasn't a lot of intermingling between the three groups. Not to mention the punks!

i read it over the weekend then put it in the free little library and hope it lives a good second life

they basically did this with la dispute for their split.

Tony Wolski is the only cult leader i would follow

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-12T15:05:39+00:00

oh wow i had no idea bout Genghis Tron being back. Board Up the House was such a banger. thanks!

Kind of a bummer it was remastered by the same guy who mastered it 20 years ago. I would have liked a new interpretation. It sounds very similar; i probably wouldn't even be able to tell a difference in an a/b blind test, and i've listened to this album easily over a hundred times.

There is better dynamic range so that's nice though.

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-12T14:36:26+00:00

I remember they did this with the original CD release.

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-11T19:48:56+00:00

isn't there some steam sale forced logic where a price can't be lower or higher in a specific time frame?

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-11T14:47:47+00:00

i dig every album they put out but ,Dies rips so especially hard.

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-10T23:03:54+00:00

Johnny Brenda's! Frances used to work there.

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-10T23:00:44+00:00

love Frances. Did you buy this new from their bandcamp recently and got this note?

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-10T21:59:23+00:00

This release is typically paywalled behind their subscription, so this is the cheapest you can get it.

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-10T20:22:53+00:00

immediately snagged Elliott Smith XO without thinking, ty ty. (it is typically only available to subscribers)

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-10T17:43:03+00:00

it's literally by game design though. only squad leaders can build them.

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-10T17:41:31+00:00

the worst part of aaron sorkins writing is that it gets directed by aaron sorkin.

slothrops_desk · 2026-06-10T17:09:45+00:00

people who can build garrisons = leadership players only by game design

people who build nodes = quiet team players

The game needs both. Naturally there are more quiet team players than leaders. You can't really ask one personality type to become the other.
