i recently had some pretty long trainrides which enabled me to watch a huge chunk of movies so i'll sum them up here... Burn after Reading: great movie, super cool actors and acting, it's very amusing how incredibly dumb each and every one of those characters is in it's own special way and [spoilerS AHEAD] it in the end turns out to be just one massive colossal fuck up over countless misinterpretations of documents, actions and behaviours. great shit this Killing Them Softly: i have to completely disagree with wsp, this movie is very cool, think like a mixture of coenbrothers (fargo) and snatch or the likes. of course it's not an action movie in any ways, it's very dialogue driven (a bit tarantino-esque) SoundCity: a movie for music and production nerds like me, but others might enjoy it aswell i think. a wee bit too nostalgic and esotheric at times, but great nontheless Men who stare at goats: it's okayish but despite the sortof ridiculous-cool premise it's a rather uneventful or uninteresting movie in essence The Perks Of Beeing A Wallflower: a pretty standard coming of age + slight romance drama film. nothing wrong with that plus ezra miller has quite a talent of making every character he plays extremely interesting... The Suicide Shop: starts immensly great, great concept, great voices (all in french, which fits the Noire-concept great) but second half to end it goes massively downhill, and i was not too fond of the musical-approach to some of it, had to skip quite a bit, but maybe that's just me. Cloud Atlas: i was very exited for this one, maybe that's why i as pretty disappointed in the end, it all sort of not goes together well. action seems a bit randomly thrown in aswell as the comedy, it would have been better/more coherent if they left out those stupid chases in the "future"-setting (and cheaper also i guess). also it all doesn't really go together that well, i mean everybody is waiting for how those worlds are connected, but that is pretty much irrelevant in the end (one is the goddess of an ancient version of the other and that's about it) so it in the end is just a bunch of different shortfilms with the same actors in different settings... A Company Man this one was cool, very cool action scenes and forseeable but still nice storytelling. very reminiscent of a bittersweet life Dangerously Exited: nice little movie about a public servant and his very late little second spring when he involunarily helps out in a band as musician and general life-advisor Pieta (by KimKiDuk): great film! very disturbing right from the start this film is pretty much unpleasant start to finish in a eally fascinating way and look (it's not gorey at all actually...). i can't describe it properly, but if you're out for a differnt viewing experience, this is the one to go for. HelterSkelter: pacing is pretty off and it's a lot Style over Substance, but that also in a very positive way. it's a feast for the senses, very dreamy and surreal at times. definetly recommended

i think i love you^^ this is beyond words my contribution today is probably the most "super" of super-groups (songs starts at about 1:20 or so) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot6Cf4iFj-I

as a completely irrational boris-fanboy i obviously high-five you on that 1. Maceo Parker & WDR BigBand - Moonshine Vermond 2. The Legends - I Want To Be Like Everybody Else 3. Michel Camilo - Oye Como Va 4. Jethro Tull - Requiem 5. Piet Swerts - Clonos (Modern Classical Saxophone Music) 6. David Holmes - Faust 72 7. Wise Guys - Trailblazing 8. Shining - Fisheye 9. Boozed - Forget Your Head 10. Danko Jones - Samuel Sin wow, that list has practically nothing in it that i really listen to anymore (and again nothing japanese, dammit y u no showup?), just the one which i hilighted that pretty much makes up for that. it's not only my favourite of that band or even that genre, but genuinely one of my overall favourite songs in general.

woohoo, Mars Volta.. should give them a few spins aswell again Dave Matthews Band - Seek Up Arjazztra - AudioTrack No.2 (yeah, that title seems totally legit...) Santana - Persuasion Machinae Supremacy - Knee-Deep in the xoxx Foo Fighters - Free Me BigBang - Blue Shinichi Osawa - Detonator Slipknot - Gently Deep Purple - Strange Kind of Woman Moloko - Blow by Blow lol, not a single j-rock track, well...

cheezus, that is great, anybody has this maybe? couldn't find it anywhere...

hmmn, maybe for the best, still sad. i kind of liked them..

going to cologne for sure, it's just like an hour from here. hopefully they get a later timeslot this time considering their main audience might be old enough for that noadays. it's weird coming out of a metal-gig and the sun's still up...

aaah silent hill ost, great one! (also very much dig akiras remix of rinkaku...) also turns out i quite enjoy cave in...

pro tip, beautiful sounds are more beautiful when plugged in nice bass you got there^^

sounds very cool! progressive, weird and playful while still beeing super solid and pretty groovy, high hopes for this rerec-mini aswell as the next "true" album whenever that may be...

i'm usually pretty bad informed what releases are to come, but here's what i can recall (some of it isn't really announced but is bound to happen): DirEnGrey (obviously) - the unsomething crossfaith - untitled boris - all of it heaven in her arms seems to have a new one up their sleeve the ocean - journey to the bottom of the sea periphery - juggernaut black sabbath - 13 barrows - (they've been recording as of late, something is on the horizon) clutch - earthrocker (although pretty much already out) g-dragon - new solo album psy - new album (expectations will skyrocket through the roof, it'll be interesting even if just for that ) exo - some sort of comeback that's it for starters

HELL YES!!! and it's one day after my birthday! flawless^^

+ on all the other tracks, that were so horrifically butchered on what would otherwise have been a great rinkaku liveDVD..

you sure you're not confusing this with peripherys upcoming next album?

they also posted a new one of their tour-videos btw at 4:49... X-Mark, that you?

HE ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE A KNACK FOR SONGTITLES IN ALL_CAPS. (also at first i read BREAK the BONER... o.O)

xxxHolic any good? i think i remember liking the anime...

lol, also look at the size of die #godzilla and judging by the brightness of toshias knee he seems to be glowing from inside (radiation problems maybe?) shooting them seperately and merging together afterwards is pretty common and not a problem at all, but this is just astonishingly bad executed

pretty heavy list that is glass skin is one of my favorite DEG ballads i think.... bored right now, so i'm doing another one of these 1. Soutaiseiriron - Moonlight Ginga 2. The Subways - Holiday click 3. Bela B. - Letzter Tag 4. Demetori - Suwa Foughten Field 5. Calypso King & the Soul Investigators - Compin and Smokin 6. Cloudkicker - From the Balcony click 7. Sharon Jones - The Dap Dip 8. James Brown - Funky Drummer 9. Russian Circles - Harper Lewis 10. Michel Camilo - Las Olas this one is heavy to decide on favorites, with russian circles and demetori two of my most celebrated bands and with soutaiseiriron one of my personal top tracks, puh, just gonna choose'em all also with sharon jones, calypso king, and james brwon in the same list this has to be as funky/groovy as it gets

oh, cheesy drama, great fan of it (both japanese and korean actually) sooo *browsing through harddisk* the more * the more good i've watched: Voice ** Mr.Brain* BloodyMonday I+II * Anego Atashinshi no Danshi* Gokusen (2+3+Movie) Hanazakari no kimo tachi e Nobuta wo Produce * Piece Sapuri Tatta Hititsu No Koi Tumbling Mahoro Ekimae Bangaichi*** (currently airing, it's brilliant just like the Movie along with it) Sunao ni Narenakute Last Friends* Kimi wa petto Liar Game (1-2)* Meitantei no Okite Orthros no Inu My Madonna Samurai Seventeen* Binbo Danshi** Kurosagi Sore wa, Totsuzen, Arashi no you ni... The One Pound Gospel* Ryusei no Kizuna* that plus a bunch of stuff i stopped halfway through and/or deleted it afterwards because it was just so bad (lots of crap out there, and i'm already pretty tolerant towards that ...)

this album is, despite of its seemingly chaotic structures, a very melodic one with song-craftsmanship beyond all their previous releases, beatiful stuff there. i'll start with a trackbytrack 01 December: classic dreamy boris stuff, hello there "my machine" loving it, great opener ∑/10 02 Elegy: heavy stuff, but very melodical aswell, i like takeshis vocals in this one, which is rare ┼/10 03 Evil Stack well, a noise-filler/transition, works fine, but doesn't need a score 04 Monologue starts of as another dreampop/rock song and goes into epic monumental rock of sorts. intentional or not, i would have preferred the leadguitar to be in tune very much Δ/10 05 Method of Error sperimental doom-noise-stuff with some stoner-sludge-blues in the later bits, need a bit more time to get into it (some issues here i'll adress later on...) ¶/10 06 Bataille Suere Stomping supergroovy drop G# StonerDoom. this song will SLAY live!!!! ↕/↔ 07 Perforated Line see "Evil Stack" + awesome twist in the end 08 Castel In The Air boris, i love it when you're creepy €/10 09 Mirano another actual "conventional" song on this album, and a beautiful at that, beatifully melodic at times and still undeniably boris all the way, takeshi could've tried a few more vocal-takes tho this one will be great live too √/10 10 Canvas droooooooooooooooooooooone, nuffsaid œ/10 11 Maeve sperimental noise-collage-outro. works fine, no rating needed BUT! (tl;dr, sounds like shit) and i'm terribly sorry to always be the douche that's nagging about production and mixing and stuff, but this is just terrible. i don't know what happened to boris, if they changed the mixer/producer or whatnot, they sounded so incredibly good a few years back. hell "aileron" from heavy rocks 2011 is my personal blueprint of what psychedelic/stoner/doom/sludge/yourmum SHOULD sound like, attention please, original heavy rocks, pink and the likes were awesome too. but ever since second edition "new album" came out its like a wet dog farting in your ears. and i'm not talking about low-budget and DIY stuff or static-noise and the likes (although i'm pretty sure that noise could've been avoided aswell, but ok, that's part of the charme i guess) there doesn't seem to be a single cymbal hit on the entire album that doesn't clip into the digital reds, which results in the sonic equivalent of stepping on a lego... with your ears! all that treble-heavieness is most unpleasant with the vocals where every single drop of spit of takeshi is so incredibly annoying, beeing plastered all over your face and/or tatooed on your foreskin. those can be wanted effects for noise-glitch-industrial and stuff, so to some amount of boris catalogue aswell, but there's really no point to it on a record like this. also what is the point of heaving the arguably best and most monumental hoover-dam-like amplifiers and drumkits if you then record/mix it with what seems like a mixture of an iphone and a gameboy color (mastered on a toaster perhaps...) with heavyrocks aileron you can listen to it on ridicculous levels, with the higher the volume, the higher the pleasure (dammit, i once booked the studio in the middle of the night just to do exactly that, probably three hours of nearly live-level heavy rocks satisfaction) with everything from newalbum onwards even at moderate levels it just makes you want to pearce needles through your ears to make it hurt less. please make the loud song comparison yourself, aileron vs. methodoferror... i guess i'll once again, just like with cosmos, have to do my own personal "remaster" just to make it sort of tolerable, because i very much would want to listen to this frequently, but in it's current state this is just torture for me.
