Subliminal Stimuli - Journey Through My Mind Review [1114112147]

Hello friends and neighbours! Here's my review of a very special album by a friend of mine called Journey Through My Mind.

1. Journey Through My Mind

The title track is very cartoony and distorted and creepy and is only about 2 minutes long so it can't really be called a full length song, although it does make a pretty decent intro, as it matches and summarizes the rest of the album, with its mix of cartoony/distortion/glitch/abstract/noise.

2. Nothing Lasts Forever

This track (my favorite) starts out relatively quiet with a computer voice singing in a sad tone, when suddenly a giant distorted wall of bass comes at me out of nowhere and starts screaming and taunting me, while another sad computer voice harmonizes the words "I guess nothing lasts forever" over a psychotic drum beat.

3. Everything's Blue

This is a dark slower track with glitchy percussion and a sample of Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails saying "Everything;s blue in this world" on repeat for 2.5 minutes.

4. Fuggo

I don't know what the title means; ask him yourself. What I do know is that this track consists of a 4-note melody and a jungle beat loop which he may or may not have even created himself. And you had the nerve to call my Ice Cold Sunshine theme song "simple and repetitive? Negro please!

5. Friends of Bill W.

In this track, the melody is substituted by  dozens of vulgar and profane voice samples from the movie Blue Velvet (which, by the way, I have never watched nor do I plan to in the future, thanks to this song), streaming over top of an industrial-ish beat.

6. Your Gonna Die

Yes, I am aware that the word "you're" is misspelled. Again, blame him. This track consists of nothing but heavy, distorted, irritating, aggravating, debilitating, brain-drilling, migraine-and-vomit-inducing NOISE, following the tradition of his earlier Aphex Twin-V/vm "remixes".

7. Trojan.PGPCoder.Win32.Gpcode

This track is named after a computer virus (or one of AFX's Analord tracks) but doesn't really sound like either. 2 notes repeating for 2 or 3 minutes with more harmonizing 2-note loops building up as it progresses.

8. Diphenhydramine

The final track is named after the chemical ingredient in Benadryl - and it sounds like an audiological manifestation of what one feels when they overdose on that chemical (and orphan tears). It's basically a variety of sound samples manipulated, chopped and screwed (and I mean REALLY screwed) to produce his version of an "ambient" track. 
Actually I lied. It's actually a clip from "Freak on a Leash" by KoRn slowed down hella. Nothing more.

That was my review, I hope you all download it, enjoy it, and then puke until there's nothing left in your system but phlegm and bile. Peace out, bitches.

CRACKCRUMBS!

Happy 18th, my only ranger. [1103111342]

It's my sister's birthday today...What should I say? "I'm sorry I didn't get you any presents, but it's only so that our brother didn't feel so bad..."

18, wow. The age when you are become able to legally do everything you've been doing since you were 14! At least in Alberta, anyway. Yeah that's right. We're from that place. We shoot cans, shit in outhouses, and eat nothing but beef, cause it's beettr than the rest o yallz beef!

You know what else? You are now legally allowed to buy a gun, which I hope you get on top of doing real soon, preferably before you try to step foot in any one of the kiddie pens in our city that we like to call "nightclubs" with any of your girlie friends. Those so-called men don't really need those things down there, do they? So if they try anything, make sure to let them know loud and clear that the closest they're getting to you with that dangly thing is if you decide to be civil and donate it to the hospital for transplants when you (or someone who loves you dearly...:3 ) cuts them off, instead of putting them through a grinder, like I'd be more inclined to do... I'm sorry, am I getting too morbid? Maybe I'm just feeling extra brilliant thanks to my...
CRACKCRUMBS!
Here are some useful tips for your night out, instead of something random.

Dubstep - porn for the blind? [1102111918]

Oh my goodness, the things you can find on the internet nowadays. You know Rule 34? Well I propose a NEW internet rule... If it exists, and  it's not porn, it can be found on YouTube! Here's the evidence:

Of course that does not necessarily mean if it is porn, you won't find it on YT; one need only use the "correct" keywords. (example?)

Another trend I'm noticing is that with the growing dubstep explosion, there is a dubstep remix for almost EVERYTHING. I have a very bipolar relationship with dubstep - it's either epic and mind-blowing, or it's totally boring distorted garbage. Of all the viral dubstep shite I've heard in the past month, however, this is my most recent favorite:

Here's a tip: when trying to make dubstep basslines, remember that the beat is equally important!!! If no one can hear the drums, no one is going to want to dance to it or even listen to it, because it sounds like nothing but static noise and vomit - unless of course your name is Richard D. James, in which case do whatever you want and it will be adored for decades.

One last thought: I just noticed the smell of dog food and Life cereal mixed together in my pantry is apparently identical to the smell of baked goods... Perhaps thats just a side effect of the CRACKCRUMBS!

Here's how I feel when I talk to myself at night....

 

Stay tuned for a long awaited musical review for a friend of mine, coming soon...

In Soviet Russia, the Pokemon chooses you. [1102111051]

I don't know if this is just me, but I've been noticing more and more how ridiculous our humour is becoming, and I notice it even more when I'm not sober. I just think it's incredible how our thoughts and ways of looking at things are manipulated so easily by what we watch, especially when more than half of it is really irrelevant to our daily lives. Just look at any show by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad, Cleveland Show, etc.) with all its random celebrity jokes (most of whom the younger generation doesn't even know) and the way that once we hear these jokes, our own perspective on these celbrities could be drastically changed, especially if we know little to nothing about that person to begin with. For example, if we watched Stewie talk about a certain well-known but anonymous comedian (*coughdimitrimartincough*) and he made a joke about how unfunny he is, saying something like, "Oh, he's dryer than a 10-year-old bag of onions sitting open on a scyscraper in Arizona..." (wait, are there skyscrapers in Arizona? Perhaps that was a bad example...) some of us, even those who at first really enjoyed that particular comedian would stop and consider the quality of his jokes for a while. And even if our opinions on him were not altered, everyone else who heard that same joke that didn't know him before would still think of him from then on as "Oh yeah, that's the dry onions guy" and would be less likely to be interested in ever seeing his shows. Is this a flaw in human nature that should be improved? Or just something that should be accepted as part of human psychology? Or maybe I'm overanalyzing things because I haven't had enough CRACKCRUMBS! Here's a kitten.

Hello friends and neighbors. This is my new blog. I will be writing about stuff I see all around my world (note that I say "my" world because I have not been very far from home ever, so "my world" means my city and community and those who live in it) that I find to be significant to my society and stuff. THink of it as a journal, but more world-inclusive, featuring things like information on current events, places, food, music, films, and everything that makes our world so great. My video channel(s) will still be used on occasion, but when it comes to simply stating opinions and random blogs, I find writing to befaster and far more convenient. I'm going to play around with this first blog and then go to sleep, as I have an all-nighter at work ahead of me...

Here's a funny picture:

Here's a cool video to get you into the Halloween spirit!
