Apparently - the complete session recorded by the Butthole Surfers on 20 September 1988 for the John Peel show on BBC Radio 1 and broadcast on the 27th of that month.

Looking like the fight will be between the McLarens - Oscar is just a cool customer. I wouldnt have picked williams fighting with ferrari at this stage of the season.

Max deserved the win. Felt pretty much like last year? Does lance stroll even want to be there anymore?

I did not know this was a thing, SS2 is one my fave FPS titles, so hopefully this will be a worthy release.

havent watched the whole 2 hours yet but so far full of interesting details - e.g. I had no idea Rubin did the guitar on the Beastie Boys No Sleep Till Brookln.

A bit over streaming at the moment so am queuing up a few Humphrey Bogart movies - does anyone have any recommendations?

So far I have some of the big ones Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, Sabrina. Watched Casablanca for the first time - loved it.

Looks like Sony are giving some love to the game they kicked to the kerb (Which wasnt helped by two insane reviews by Gamespot and IGN)

Fantastic game, but I what I want to hear about is DG2.

This album was my entry into crowbars discography - super solid atmospheric songs all the way through, great production for a sludge album. (See also: Sonic Excess in Its Purest Form)

Definitely worth a listen if you have listened to DOWN and want to see what Kirk brings to that group.

Not many reviews up this - via Metal Archives

..this is the best album Crowbar had done up to this point. As I've stated many times before, its definitely heavier, possibly more riff oriented than before, and definitely fleshing out new ideas. I can't really say this beats out "Sonic Excess..." or "Lifesblood for the Downtrodden" because I havn't heard those albums in their entirety, but it comes close from what I have heard of them.

Any fan of Crowbar definitely needs to pick this up, while it also makes a good first for the curious listener. Its not quite as accessible as the self-titled was, but its better in most respects. I'd also branch out and say its worthy of checking out for doom fans who don't mind the sludge variant, nor the lack of complex structures and virtuoso shredding. If its an attempt at something better, I would have to say it succeeded and surpassed expectations of a Crowbar release.

I havent really had a chance to hear the new album but the first thing that registered were the use of the harsh vocals. (Note, havent heard in cauda much).

This Sputnik Review which contained the following:

  • He (Åkerfeldt) talks about it cynically in interviews, saying that it feels like the growls are all anybody ever cared about in the band’s music. And it seems like this is a little bit true, at least for some fans; for a lot of people, the first reaction to hearing “Paragraph 1” was to proclaim that Opeth is “finally back,.*

I dont know what reviews were referenced, but if true, just curious as to whether prog listeners agree that it was always about the growls... Lets face it metal fans can be heavily OTT with change.

The fact that each instance can have its own rules and culture is f a b. I love that’s one of the criteria. Mander.xyz should have a ‘identify all the creatures from the Triassic’ image captcha.

Not necessarily a favourite but I have a lot of time for Drone Metal - classic example would be ØØ Void by Sunn O))). You can stick on a pair of headphones and the world ceases to exist.

Great to see he's enthusiastic about it, not sure genpop is though.

/Edit post from Nilay on the comments

It’s more like - what if I just posted here on The Verge, and you could follow me on Mastodon natively? That’s way bigger than ICQ, I think.

The idea you could post from your own business/personal/group website and not have to run through social an intermediary that holds you hostage is a killer feature.

Happy brother user here. We had a hp and the bastard had connection troubles then ended up only printing blank pages. Never again.

The bars pretty low right now.

Enjoyed fringe a lot for what it was. Good cast - John noble was great. Enjoyed all the seasons. Masterpiece though? No.

I thought Danny Ric had a good race given the start. Managed to maintain position on the mediums. Aston’s and Ferraris continue to feel a bit invisible. Congrats to Redbull for the record, deserve it.

I guess this means we will get a Daniel Ricciardo focused episode in the next DTS after all :D

No Lemmy ettique missing as there wasn't enough of a community to form anything. I had no issue with the smaller size and all the usual posters I'd see and chat with have dispersed with the larger array of content.

But now you don't get people signing up, talking about the lack of content and disappearing. Or servers set up in hope and shut down - eope.xyz caw.ai Jeremmy.ml or ones that ragequit fapsi.be. And of course wolfballs.

Even if most go back to reddit it will still be an improved space with the servers and communities that remain I think.
