Nice titles! Philip Dick is one of my fave sci-fi writers. Pynchon is interesting too, though Gravity Rainbow and Against the Day took me a couple of attempts to finally get through lol. 

Yeah, Gravity's Rainbow is prettttttty Interesting. It was the second Pynchon book I read, the first one being Inherent Vice, and it felt really jarring to see the transition. Inherent Vice feels MUCH more straightforward... Still, I really did like the book even though I feel like I missed like 70% of all the references and such.

Also, to stay on topic, my most recent purchase was a ticket to the zoo.

um i am hella interested in this

what is fukusuke doing even

Should be interesting, especially if Kent is also involved...

Philip K. Dick - The Zap Gun

Nick Cave - The Death of Bunny Munro

Irvine Welsh - The Acid House

Thomas Pynchon - The Crying of Lot 49

Mikhail Bulgakov - The Master & Margarita

yep, books.....

Liked the sample, sounds way better than tracks like Lotus or Glass Skin at least.

Scared.

stylin'

So how many of these tracks are old songs? Are there even any old songs?

Yeah, that's true. Same with Carpenter's The Fog. Brilliant stuff. The films just drags you into their universe and doesn't let you go until they're finished.

The Fog is great. I don't know if it's blasphemous to say so, but I think I like it more than Halloween, even.

It legit still sounds like 9goats to me

(which is good)

^ try the studs, deadman and the madcap laughs for starters. All of these are other bands by the god and death stars' vocalist/guitarist.

addle apple is best. if you can't get into that one, you probably won't like any of aie's things tbh.. most of his bands sound sort of similar.

凛として時雨 - i'mperfect
DIR EN GREY - THE UNRAVELING

downy - 第五作品集『無題』

八十八ヶ所巡礼 - 0088

The Novembers - zeitgeist

LEO今井 - Made from nothing

Protest The Hero- Volition

SEX-ANDROID - ギャクシンセサイザー! !

Shilfee & Tulipcorobockles - The Right Are Each Other

Shilfee & Tulipcorobockles - Kiri Rearrange E.P.

実験台モルモット - 見開キ こころ❤断面図

kamomekamome - BEDSIDE DONORS

GalapagosS - Run like fury

CHVRCHES - The Bones of What You Believe

the unknown forecast - オークション

Perfume - LEVEL3

are the first ones that come to mind.

Critters 2 - Campy, cheesy b-movie made during the high point of the Gremlins craze. Carnivorous space fluffballs terrorize a small American town and it's up to a young teen and a bunch of space bounty hunters to take them down.

If you're into that typical '80s b-movie stuff you'll definitely at least be amused by this flick. Nothing highbrow here, just the type of stuff to watch with a couple of beers.

This at least seems to sound sort of different from the 'standard' Deathgaze rock song formula you can see in tracks like Blood or Abyss..

Probably a long shot, but I hope they'll put that one 20 mins live-dist only song on the new best-of.

Although that would mean ~gaijin~ could listen to it too and I doubt the special snowflakes who bought it would be happy w/ that hahaha

Is this the ex-SCISSOR dude or the other dude

^ agreed, instrumentally they always seemed like they were sort of cool/interesting, but their vocalist sort of ruined it for me.

Also kek @ people going 'visual kei is dead' again, their members will most definitely return in some shape or form to the VK scene and if they weren't completely pre-fabricated by some 3rd party they will probably still be able to bring some fresh things onto the table

another re-rec of 涙色ラボラトリー?

also i guess the members must've gotten tired of imitating girugamesh

I for some reason get a 'Meshuggah' feel from this coverart

Why does Otogi still look like Marilyn Manson

koo l beans

Like almost every VK band ever was at some point churning out releases in a 2/3 month schedule so yeah it's not really a reason to knock on this band specifically

cant wait for Grieva's cover of Macabre
