Fire Walk With Me
This page is a weird mix of rantings and ravings, Music, graffiti, punk,Doctor Who, postpunk, comics,art, general silliness and GPOB (gratuitous pictures of Bowie). Sometimes I post about the 2012 US elections

why is everyone shitting on the xbox is there a memo i missed?
well, the new console is about the size of a Betamax, not backwards compatible, and charges an extra fee for used games.
also it has the dumbest name possible.
A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification.

WHAT!?
gross gross gross gross gross
Do you ever wonder why some music isn’t as much fun to listen to as it used to be? It’s because it is literally straining your ears to hear it.
This is a screen shot I took comparing the waveform for two releases of the SAME recording of the SAME song, “Terrible Lie” by Nine Inch Nails.
The top waveform came from the original 1989 CD release. It’s pleasing to hear. It’s dynamic. There are loud parts and there are quiet parts, and it lets you feel the music breathe.
The bottom waveform came from the remastered 2009 CD release celebrating the 20th anniversary. Sure, it’s louder, but take a look at the “brick wall” the signal runs into as it builds. When this happens, the music no longer kicks, it just all levels out. It’s flat. It’s boring. And it fatigues your ears very quickly.
This is a VERY common problem with most CDs recorded and (re)released over the last decade.
I won’t write up a 10 page rant here, I’ll just leave you with this brief introduction, and a link to the Loudness Wars page on wikipedia for further reading, if you’re interested.
wow
i hate this shit, it’s bad mastering

Am giving Girl Talk another chance, but no, really there’s just 2-3 songs on Night Ripper that are any good.
The rest of the time they are the musical equivalent of Family Guy - pretty much an endless series of references that don’t add up to much.
You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?
It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

If they can’t dig up a scandal they are perfectly happy to manufacture one.

I’m willing to watch that horrible movie just over this sappy feelgood stuff.
I’ve gotten very skeptical about reblogging unsourced things like this because most of the time they aren’t true, but this one? Is actually legit.

Girl Talk is mostly tiresome but the actual “bounce that” portion of this song is really kind of sublime, and so is Ludacris rapping over Elastica, even though the song flubs the chorus a bit.

I still can’t believe they did a Model UN episode (and that it was hilarious)

Ray Manzarek with X. Besides being in The Doors, Manzarek produced the 1st four X albums, worked with Echo and The Bunnymen, and backed Iggy Pop. R.I.P., Ray.

it’s always horrifying when you put your finger on the thing that’s off about someone and it is that they have a political analysis where they should have a moral compass
it’s a realisation that usually happens in the worst possible circumstances
damn.

Aw damn. His keyboards were the best thing about The Doors imo, and he seemed like a cool dude.
