    @YuyoDrift @platy - don't this sound like it could be an old Utada song???

    "Rachel Rhodes was born in North Carolina, United States on April 15, 1993...she was inspired to become a singer after hearing her mother listening to "First Love" by Utada Hikaru. She was later influenced by Mariya Takeuchi and Love Psychedelico."

    -but seriously, that quivery vibrato is def. inspired but she's really good at it. I've only heard of the name "Genki Rockets", but what I've (now) briefly heard of her newer solo-work is really appealing.

    I kinda knew the obvious about fast-fashion (quantity > quality + high fashion rips) prior to watching this, but a lot of the other details were eye-opening. I don't believe I own a single piece of "fast fashion" clothing unless it's like nu-GAP stuff (GAP inc. recently dipping their toes in that market b/c of sales losses), namely b/c I'm generally OOTL and I like plain stuff. Do people really go through 80 lbs of clothes a year ?! I throw away undergarments, but goddamn I have 7~8+ year old articles of clothing that are still good b/c I take care of them. 

     

    Might be a bit contrarian considering vk is very fashion centric (and fans possibly by association), but I lean very hard towards functionality/quality over relevancy. I figure it's easier as a guy b/c I find a lot of women's brands even non-fast-fashion are already trying to cheap-out from the get-go, like including fake pockets. Are there any "durable" women's brands that don't break the bank, but stay relevant design-wise?

    I feel like I'm on the ornery boomer fast-track as more people (northerners) move into this fucking town. God, everything is crowded now and shitty drivers are on the up.

     

    If it wasn't for the IT work opportunities, I'd haul ass to the mountains (or back up north where everyone is leaving.)

    Bought all but one a week-or-so ago (since I already had the 2014.08 one). Recently found my old portable DVD player, but I somehow only had the car charger, not the plug one. Adapter came in the mail today and now I'm watching VK lives as the gya-gods intend.

    Haven't posted here in a while, comebacks among my favorites were a bit sparse up until now (including the fact that some of them have been in "Queendom".)

     

     

    Fun. I still miss China line though >_>. 

     

     

    ELRIS did a quaint digital release, hoping for a larger release in the near future.

     

    Dreamcatcher had a bomb-ass release, I still need to go through "Raid of Dream"

    In other news, what are everyone's thoughts about the whole PD101 rigging controversy. I always figured the end results were slightly rigged to allow companies to start comebacks or add new trainees to existing groups w/o waiting a year for the resulting group to dissolve. Apparently the last two seasons were found to have the final groups prepared from the beginning, which is likely why the shit-editing existed. I wouldn't be surprised if the did this starting w/ season one. 

     

    I feel for the members of IZ*ONE and X1 b/c the trainees are obv. not at fault here. Even if the members w/ the obvious advantages knew about the rigging process, they would obviously not speak out of fear for being blacklisted from the industry (one of the qualms I have w/ mainstream K-pop in general.)

    I think @psychonnect_rozen  is referring to a select, but present group of metal and/or rock elitists to a fault. I've bumped into a few here in the U.S.

     

    You'll absolutely have boomer-tier* or Shapiro-tier dweebs that'll trash anything that isn't their "brand" of music, but that kind of mentality has a presence in every vein of music (with varying levels of objectivity.) There are classical music fans who think jazz is "not playing by the rules", old-school hip-hop heads that think "mumble rap" is trash, 90's dubstep fans that disavow the "bro-step" of the early 2010's, the list goes on. 

     

    While this doesn't account for everybody, most metal, metalcore, deathcore, and prog-metal fans I hung out with were themselves already steeped in rap, hip-hop, and mainstream pop. (Metal covers of pop music are extremely common.) On a personal note, a lot of my deathcore friends were also huge EDM nuts.

     

    Metal as a genre also has the natural tendency to branch into everything, and rock was born from blues, folk, and country. Look beyond your social bubble where you observe those generalizations and you'll find plenty of people who are pretty much chill w/ whatever. 

     

    On a side note, anyone who takes pride in some sort of elitism as a personality-trait can go fuck off. Those types of people can get over themselves and learn something from the rest of society.

     

    *Not referring to actual boomer age demographic, but the obstinant "boomer" mentality. idk, felt appropriate.

    that's fine, i'm not so much these days, i mostly just buy to support. but i find this price exorbitant for what you're getting. i went to their oneman final in june and bought cheki, both versions of their album, etc. i just like digital purchasing when i can.

    Same mentality. I've been sleeping on this band for a while, come to find they're really nice. I'm finding it increasingly harder as someone overseas to justify buying CDs w/ shipping costs when I'm hunting live-limited stuff from other bands ;;. This is coming from someone who used to EMS ship new multi-type releases in bulk for ~$200 a month. Nowadays I get one or two shipped via small-packet a few times a year.

     

    Neverland doing digital was the best thing since sliced-bread. A couple other bands I follow use OTOTOY which does FLAC (which is also great.)

    Now back on-topic, this is really good :D!

    Wake up, do stuff, get angry at stuff, read documentation/book, get back to doing said stuff, desperately searching stackoverflow/mdn/microsoft docs, take break, start from scratch with like two extra lines of code and shit works, create myself another problem, rinse & repeat. Hey, at least I'm learnding 🙃.

    I think this is everything... It's a clusterfuck which is why I get pretty discouraged trying to buy their stuff in the first place. I hope the tracks get compiled in a full-length or best-of.

    I appreciate the above, as I was once the "Sonic Kid" (with Zelda and Kirby in the mix.) I tend to have more nostalgia for the older Genesis titles, the Sonic Advance series, and SA + SA2(B) (where I spent more than half the game in the Chao Garden >_>.) I also really enjoyed the niche titles like Tail's Adventure (Game Gear), Sonic R, and Sonic the Fighters. Sonic Advance and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 have killer soundtracks, the former of which got me really into VGM. I remember rushing into Ink Newsstand to grab the latest Sonic comics and EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly.)... Also, watching Sonic X and Kirby Right Back at Ya' on Saturday mornings.

    Well, my back is nearly healed up. I've been on cyclo, benzos, and a fuck-ton of ibuprofen (1200mg/day) for about a week, but my sciatica is clearing up. Also a good day b/c I won my city-pop/kayokyoku white whale today, Yuki Saito - LOVE on cassette SEALED. There's like a million copies of the CD around, but the cassette ver. seems to be ultra-rare.

    Yeah, at this point it's almost always amateur for me for Western material. JAV is def. nice since it covers a huge range of niches, but the acting (esp. the kawaii shtick) can be a little much. There's a PornHub channel called "Hunk Hands". I thought I wouldn't care at all for the vlogging style, but I find his content pretty interesting.  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
