So... Fukai, Beautiful Dirt and The IIID Empire for the best-of album re-recs. Thoughts? At least the new version of Beautiful Dirt can only be an improvement over the original, it's one of my least favorite WtD tracks (and maybe even one of my least favorite Diru tracks in general)

Based on what I can gather from their FB page, it seems that the songs that will be recorded are 腐海, Beautiful Dirt and The IIID Empire???

foobar is great

petitioning to have it renamed to OLD FRIENDS SENIOR BANDOMEN SANCTUARY

Did the EU secretly push through some kind of increase in international shipping rates or some shit? I recently tried to order some 2nd hand books from an Amazon seller I'd purchased from in the past, and while Amazon used to always have €3 as the standard shipping fee for books, this time I was faced with a whopping total of like €65 eur???? when I reached the "confirm order" area. This was for like 3 books that cost like €4 combined or something.... Needless to say I fucking canceled that order lmao, i'm still confused as to what's up though. Everything was still fine up to like 3 or 4 months ago.

fucked up to say, but this isnt even that bad compared to that song in the thread OP

I feel like they've always been using synth traditional instruments throughout their entire career, but I may be mistaken on that one. Anyway, it's kind of an 'essential' part of the sound, and you get used to it. It'd be cool if they could get some dedicated full-time members playing those instruments for real though, but I feel like there don't seem to be all that many people out there who do and who'd also want to play in a VK band...

he'll yea fuker

Recent viewings: Trick or Treat - The one about an evil satanic rockstar coming back from the grave and electrocuting people. Pretty entertaining, albeit in a VERY campy way. It ticked off just about every '80s high school cliche on the list, so if you're not one for clichés you'd do better just skipping this one. Still, there were some pretty amusing special effects here and there, the soundtrack is good, and there were quite a few funny moments (although I guess not all of them were intentional) Seeing Ozzy Osborne as a staunch anti-rock reverend was also p. fucking great Sole Survivor - REALLY underrated 80s horror flick. Somehow still has less than 1000 ratings over on IMDB. Plot-wise it's kind of similar to Final Destination (except this one came first); woman was supposed to die in a plane crash, didn't, and now the grim reaper is sending the reanimated corpses of the recently deceased after her to claim her life. As far as gore and effects go, this one isn't gonna satiate any gore hound's hunger. It's more of a slow burn than anything. Still, for what's obviously a rather low budget film, I found it quite well done. There are a couple of very nice shots scattered throughout. I think the whole thing's on Youtube, so you should check it out if you have the time. The Beyond - One part of Fulci's "gates of hell" trilogy thing. I feel like this is one of those movies that has already been talked about enough, so I'll just be short. Watch it if you enjoyed Fulci's other stuff, or if you like old school Italian horror. If Italian horror feels too janky and disjointed for you, stay away. I personally liked it, although I feel like the movie's mostly just a sequence of cool setpieces without much of a connecting thread otherwise. I mean, there's a plot in there somewhere, but it's rather basic. The effect work, as usual with Fulci, is both gruesome and awesome, so it's worth a watch just for that alone. Also, the soundtrack kicks ass.

Chronic Bandmate Slappin' Disorder, it's untreatable

they didnt make the lips funny, 0/10

vk's first true math rock band

They fucking deserve that break (and also just deserve to get away from the label in general bc of the whole fucking conditional disbandment shit that was goin on b4....)

Wasn't pretty much half the stuff he released under that moniker just straight up plagiarized anyway?

btw since we have a dedicated Eiji thread again now, what the fuck happened to Dentaku?

... Does their label even have any other bands left now?

oh shit, that re-recording is sounding GOOD

I STILL CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE TAKKEN IS ACTUALLY GONE
