I'm listening to Arche and I forgot how much I love it. Sure it's a bit bloated but it's miles ahead of their last album in terms of...well everything. The Insulated World is pretty much unlistenable for me bar a handful of tracks.

Maybe they'd finally go dance metal, taking example from MUCC, girugamesh, and BABY METAL

Wouldn't mind a more aggressive version of FILTH or child prey kind of sounds.

 

What they did lately just same old shit, though I enjoyed it, but I need them to try Industrial Metal again.

I'm constantly pining for their Vulgar/WtD sound to come back. Something like Filth or Child Prey would be fucking immense but I know it would never happen.

It's funny that they're so hellbent on being heavy now and yet even the last Gazette album is heavier than what they're putting out. Hell, most bog standard VK bands are now. I feel like they were at the forefront with TMOAB but now they're just...there.

It didn't work, I might add.

I am no longer going to start using that tiny feet line XD 

Both the dream and real life anecdote are incredible XD I'm going to start using that tiny feet line XD 

Vivid but not exactly cohesive.... 

-Driving around the West Midlands (the county where I live in the UK), complete with potholes, grey weather, and bad drivers. 

-Walking around and coming across some random field with a play area in the middle. Pretty sure this was from another dream. 

-Walking around a bustling town centre. There was a middle Eastern dude busking. He was playing deathcore shit on drums, it was great. 

-Speaking to one of my friends (an ex girlfriend) about relationships while we're in an arcade. 

-My brother owns a horse in this dream. I plan to give it a three course meal (an apple for each course) for its birthday. Of course apples come in all sorts of flavours in my dream. I decide on apple pie flavour for dessert. Cut to me in the back seat of a car, feeding a horse an apple in the passenger seat of the car. 

-I wake up. 

What? XD 

Holy cow! Thanks for the help everyone!! There's a lot to digest here

I still use the old school way aka drag and drop to my mobile or iPod cos I don't trust clouds that much, and it is easier since no internet connection needed.

True dat

As above really! Apparently you can just dump your collection on Dropbox or Google Play for free and use various apps to play stuff on the go as would with Spotify...but with your own music? The wonders of the 21st century! 

I'm not great at keeping track of new and amazing ways of living side by side with our technological overlords, but this sounds like an easy enough thing to achieve. It would also save me the hassle of editing the pen drive in my car every week XD 

Is this all as easy as it sounds? Do you recommend any particular apps/methods? Is there any danger to you if pretty much all your music library had been downloaded illegally from here? XD 

Thanks in advance x

That certainly makes sense!

Haha can I really sell a service if it's only worked haphazardly just for me? lolol

Well it certainly works for most of the stuff in retail!

Doggos are generally trustworthy and simplistic; what you see is what you get. Maybe due to this they're your guides in the dream world? Dunno, pop psychology XD 

Wow...you should really sell your services though, your dreams sounds amazing!

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way : ) Haha, I guess so. I'd never compare my situation to getting cleaved to death (lol) but maybe on some level I feel like it is a huge drain on my life. I know I just need to give her time to get up on her feet though.

Just make sure you look after yourself too though! It's so easy to forget to do that, which can lead to depression, resentment, and other goodies!

Haha this might be getting too personal but I think responsibility. My sister and I live together right now and she's going through a career transition. She's been at home a lot while looking for work (understandably) and I've been supporting her financially for a lot of things. I love the girl and, honestly, couldn't ask for a better roommate, but I guess I've been kind of stressed about it since I don't really have any alone time (I'm a huge introvert). 

You sound so much like me! I can understand how over time it can all get a bit overwhelming and yet you feel a duty to be a good bro. I guess that carries across into the dream where you don't want to watch and yet because everyone else is there you have to do your bit too?

Anyone ever have those dreams where something horrific appears on your laptop or tv and, no matter what you do, you aren't able to turn it off? I had one of those last night. I'm putting this in a spoiler for people who can't do extreme gore and violence.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

So, I had some friends over and we were all thinking of a movie to watch. I suggested a horror film and turned on something random. It started off normal enough until two women were having a conversation about mutilating each other for money. One woman held a clever and readied it on the other's hand. She lifted it up and chopped off her fingers. She then repeatedly took swings moving up a few centimeters each time. Eventually the woman being tortured gave in and told her to stop. But the other woman wouldn't stop. I was too scared to watch at this point and tried to pause, exit, turn off, anything I could do to escape the film. Nothing I did worked and we had to sit there listening to the events unfold.

 

Holy cow. Can you think of anything in real life that triggers this sense of inability to escape? 😕

Just woke up from a weirdly vivid one.

I went to a Dir En Grey gig with two friends. One of which was Kyo himself, who decided to get on the stage itself to take pictures/film the band to which we thought 'fair play, that's a great idea for close ups!'?!

I never once actually saw the band but that didn't seem to register? So for most of the dream I was just looking at Kyo's back from far away as he filmed...nothing I guess? I don't think there was a crowd either XD 

The floor seemed to be covered in graves, two of which had rings resting on top of them along with a diagram (as apparently Kyo wore them for his current get up?). Interesting way to present merch I guess...? Just to point out, I genuinely don't have an obsession with Kyo. He was just weirdly prominent in this dream?

The band then proceeded to play new stuff but I don't remember any of it. Probably because their last album was ass. 

They played the original version of Fukai though so I give the gig 11/10.

As a Brit, what the actual fuck...? This is just plain weird. What next? Kyo meeting Trump? (Please let this happen)

I'm just glad I waited until closer to 30, the classic age to start feeling old - my sister told me when she was like 22 "OMG I'M GETTING SO OOOLD" 😂 The 17-year old me was like ??????

Hahahahaha and yet there's still so far to go! 😂

Aaaamen!

My condolences haha, I'm not quite there yet but I'm sitting on my 28. At 27 I didn't feel old at all, and when I hit 28 I was like... oh, damn, I'm getting old? 😂 

I know right? I'm practically dead 😂

It's horrible right? Just sneaks up on you out of nowhere!

It's so nice to be alone tho, right? No "what are we going to eat today", not having to care at all about someone else's schedule or... anything lol 😂 Meanwhile also starting to feel old (uh-oh)

I know right? Being able to just get up and do something (or just having the freedom to laze around and do nothing) is pretty awesome. 

Yeahhhhh got the big 30 coming up this year. Fun fun.

It's actually been a year now since I moved to live alone. I can't believe how time flies. Or how comfortable I am being alone and dedicating myself to my hobby. Maybe I'm meant to be alone? Am I going to be alone forever? Could there possibly be someone I could be fully comfortable with that would understand my quirks? Do I even want that? How am I so easily over a ten year long relationship that even ended in me being the one that was dumped out of the blue?

 

I'm such an asshole for ghosting people who tried to start real relationships with me.

 

Hmm mulling over the same questions mostly. I'm torn between wanting someone really badly and wanting to be alone forever XD

That's just silly. LFI is a true story of how a regiment of the Japanese army died honorably when they were completely slaughtered by the US in the pacific just so they could take their air fields in hopes of being able to advance to mainland Japan.

...You do know @Tokageis joking right?

I'm also of the opinion above that all the heavier stuff is at the very least funny to have around, whereas the lighter remakes of everything but Undecided I can't stand. The amount of songs from them that I just won't listen to is not great and it's mostly the remakes like Kasumi, Wake, Final and then also Obscure from the heavier ones. 

I tried to forget that horrifically flat Obscure remake. Thanks for bringing it into my life again ughhhhh XD

I loved this song too! I've only ever found a handful of songs that I like from these guys. They need more heavy shit!

Some random thoughts I had while out walking this morning...

 

It's easy to see the negative effects that human beings have had on nature and wildlife...on our environment....but I don't think many people realize that other people are part of our environment too.  Probably because we can't always actually "see" the effects as viscerally as, say, an oil spill. but that doesn't mean our words and actions have no effect. It's essentially a spiritual matter, and altho spiritual matters can't be seen, they can be discerned. Just like you can't see the wind, but you can discern the effects of it ---> the natural world is simply a reflection of the spiritual. So in like manner, the way we interact with our material environment has the same implications of how we interact with the "spiritual environment" of other human beings. Everything we say, do, and don't do - affects others.

 

It's all too easy to litter in the minds of others, to trample over the gardens of the heart, and to dump our toxic waste into the deep waters of the spirit. But the opposite is also true...we can help each other pull up those weeds, we can water each other, we can plant seeds of positivity and love. We can take what was made ugly, and make it beautiful again. We can take what was made filthy, and make it clean again. We can take what was made desolate, and make it abundant again. We can take what was made depressed and lifeless, and fill it with joy and meaning again.

 

Or we can simply tend to our own yards, and watch the rest go to hell. Either way, how we choose to interact with our environment is up to us. In the beginning, The Most High created light and separated it from darkness. He also made male and female in his own image - so we have that same ability - to separate light from darkness, order from chaos, and good from evil in our own lives. We can choose the manner in which we want to operate in our environments - whether it be for better or worse.

 

Being aware of the fact that you DON'T have to be an environmental toxin is one thing. But actually living your life trying NOT to be...well, that's what truly being conscious is.  And it don't really get no "woker" than that. Everything beyond that is just vanity. Be eco-friendly

Dude, can you please start a podcast or blog or something? I love reading your musings, for real 😊

Sorry, bumping again! 

Huawei P20 Pro but I would bin it in a heartbeat if I could have a decent flip phone again. I hate smartphones and yet it's impossible to live without them nowadays
