waiting so hard for a VK band called 『de:flêuration』to commence
they should serve a kote-kei throwback act that is embarrassing on more levels than the original genré could offer x

I just realized the guy in your profile pic is a neo-nazi and your cover photo is also nazi related. Big Yikes birthday boy. 😂

why are you using these images? are you trying to be edgy, funny or are you just confused about the world?

Joker is a fantastic movie, but I'd recommend anyone struggling with mental health to avoid it or approach with caution.
No, I'm not buying into the hype. I usually have a pretty high tolerance to stuff, but this got too personal towards the end and almost sent me spiraling. It shouldn't be rated as 15. It's an R rated movie if I've ever seen one, and not because of violence.

I agree. I think they've done a really good job of depicting mental illness, so much so that it hit much too close to home for me as well and I had to leave the cinema about halfway through the movie. I've been (consciously) struggling with depression for half my life and I'm currently in a phase (in therapy) where things are looking up, I feel more connected, more awake and present and therefor much more vulnerable and sensitive towards depictions of mental illness, addiction and so forth.
I wouldn't necessarily say it's a question of age though but rather how sensitive you are and whether you've struggled with similar issues in your past or not.
Hope you feel better 💪

Would you reject someone because their toenails were slightly grown and unvarnished?

Whenever I watch videos about executions,I repeat it many times,cuz there's something in it that I can't understand. And it's hard to put it into words

Sometimes I feel like being a GEEK is one of the most idiot and worthless things in this shitty world.
-
You're doing it for the wrong reasons then. Realising things like that in the way you're describing is just a part of growing up imo. Of course "geeky" stuff like obsessing over music or anime won't be enough to fulfill you. But that doesn't mean that it's "worthless". You'll have to transgress the thought that all this stuff makes up who you are, that's not a helpful perspective. But the fact that these things are a part of your life in the way they are is actually interesting and says a lot about you.

So now that the latest Dir en grey album has been out for a while as well, which one did you prefer, Ninth of TIW? I think TIW was ok/alright but Gazette definitely slayed with Ninth tbh

The more I dig into classic vk and pre-vk bands, the more I understand that vk is actually a scene with 3 decent artists out of 17 copy-cats. The sound, lyrics, visuals and overall aesthetics haven't really evolved in the almost 30 years it has existing. The idolized system that is actually the managment strategy of the 95% of the bands born in the last 10 years moreless came out really not surprising.
Tbh, this makes me really, really upset, and seeing bands like Mamireta, Mathilda or Londboy being claimed as the cool novelty makes me want to die instead.
-
I'm with you. I would argue though that a certain immobility or apathy when it comes to innovation is symptomatic of every niche genre. The extent of that immobility grows in proportion to number of parameters required to constitute that niche.
But "mainstream" vk has always been strongly influenced by trends in popular music anyway and that's not exactly the frontier of creativity either. That's why I think that looking at the fringes of certain genres is generally most interesting... well, it depends on what you're looking for, I guess.

Yeah The Insulated World is cool but have you ever listened to dead tree from mode of WtD...
-
Oh yeah! The "mode of" concerts still overwhelm and astonish me. I can only imagine how intense it must've been to witness them live.

How are you guys liking new Schwarz Stein stuff? My favorite songs - Forest of Paralysis and Wachtraum.
-
I'm actually disappointed by Immortal Verses. I think it's only marginally better than Recurrence Of Hallucination because even though we get five "new" songs, they still sound recycled and partly copied & pasted from older SS or Hora's solo material 😔 Also, Kaya is a great singer but the vocals sound a little strange in the mix at times. Vocals should never invoke the image of "guy in small room singing loudly into a mic", at least not with such persistence as is the case with this mini. Where's Schwarz Stein's ethereal vibe? It's like they lost touch with themselves. Wachtraum is the only song I didn't want to skip on first listen 😕
Hora's RESONANT on the other hand really surprised me. I was expecting the same old but he actually seems to have progressed a little sonically with this one. It's a very somber, moody, and atmospheric album. He seems to have borrowed a little from movie soundtracks and put his own spin on it which I really like (I was getting strong Disasterpiece ["It follows" soundtrack] vibes for example).

iTunes is cutting off playback for a lot of my songs with like a full minute left. The time it cuts off is not always uniform and if I skip past the cutoff I can still listen to the remaining portion.
Sometimes it doesn't happen, sometimes I add an album and the whole thing is like that, no one else mentions the problem so it's not the mp3. my version of IT is current.
-
I once had that problem, too. I used this workaround and it did the job:
"You're going to have to delete every song in your iTunes library. DO NOT DELETE THE FILES THEMSELVES, just in your iTunes music library select all then hit the delete key and make sure you don't move the files to the trash. Then you have to import all your music again. Find it in this path: user/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. You can just drag and drop that music folder into iTunes. Caution: For this solution, all your playlists will need to be remade and your genius data will need to fully sync with Apples servers." source
If iTunes manages your files automatically, make sure to make a copy of your music folder before you delete it in iTunes! Hope that fixes your problem!

I wonder if there is any interest in Mucc's FLAC/320 rips for their "pre 2007" releases
