Someone literally just showed me the Facundo Cabral version, I’m partial to it due to the added lyrics at the beginning. Fantastic song regardless, it’s incredible that it was written on a dime while drunk. Do share if you have more trovador stuff. I’m ironically super alienated from music in spanish, despite it being my first language.

The Drones - Why Write a Letter That You’ll Never Send is the only thing that has actually strongly emotionally resonated with me (cw: suicide). Also, I guess, the entirety of Doopee Time, but for different less obvious reasons.

technology never seizes to amaze me

it’s horrible and bitter so only hipsters drink it (argentinians drink it too but it’s some sort of masochistic national symbol) and it’s a special brand of unauthentic if you buy it canned. actually i’m just guessing i have no idea what sort of stereotype these obscure wojaks are making fun of and tbh as a society we shouldn’t be making more of them.

Even that comparison falls short because Bush arguably just let saudi operators perform the attacks, here Israel opened fire on the festival attendees themselves. Total death cult shit.

i dunno, i think it’s the opposite, the market is so fragmented that recognizing what’s really the mainstream is harder than ever. of course you have your david guettas or whatever producing the most unbearable pabulum known to mankind and getting substantial radio play but even he belongs on a niche of techno/trance hack musicians. like normal-ass people who are into david guetta suddenly blurt out to me like 10 other european trance DJs and they’re all named like Güren Von Heimlich and they think that stuff is mainstream, it’s baffling. it all sounds fucking repulsive of course but it surprises me that there’s deep scenes for normie stuff like that. there is no mainstream anymore in truth.

lmao probably the david guetta one. truly heinous shit. that was todd in the shadow’s worst single for 2022 and i never felt so seen by a youtube video

i mean while capitalism is certainly horrifying, you can understand its methods and material constraints and even study them and write a whole 3 tome book about how it instrumentalizes life itself. cosmic horror has a sublime trait to it, it’s not just that the universe is cruel, is that its reasons why it subjects terror onto you are just beyond your grasp, and so you imagine that maybe there’s even more unfathomable cruelty on its ways that you haven’t been subjected to yet. in lacanian terms, it’s an otherness so radical it resists symbolization, in a way capitalism just does not. only someone as racist as lovecraft, so neurotically terrified of the abstract otherness of foreign people could’ve authored this cthulhu crap lol. i think our lives are just becoming very secular and cynical. maybe materialism has really taken over everything, even over the hapless mystics who have turned spirituality into a commodity, and we can wonder no more. in itself a horror, yes.

Milei is alienating his own voters because even they believe in something even if it’s ludicrous libertarian shit. Like dude hasn’t won anything yet and is already selling out his own convictions to some discontent centrists and even to fucking trots apparently (who rightfully flipped him off lol)

It mimicked the aesthetic and sounds of folk music but none of the content.

The whole hipster subculture was a grotesque imitation of working class americana, is it a coincidence that it emerged shortly after the subprime mortgage crisis? no it isn’t, shopping from goodwill became popular out of necessity and then the aesthetics of thrifting emerged as a response because rich people felt alienated from the moment (the moment being the 2008 financial crisis). the saddest thing are fascists today trying to co-opt hipster aesthetics, a coarse imitation of an imitation that only vaguely retains its working class signifiers. a trend so passé that even having hipsters as the butt of the joke feels completely out-of-touch.

bro i never left, i still listen to Lo Boob Oscillator and pester people with comments about how brilliant its krautrock-influenced motorik interlude is, i never even watched high fidelity

horrible song lol, but he had a couple viral hits on tiktok a few years back as well that are less detestable (but still bad)

that comment does me well. it does me well.

they’re all rich unless they’re some sort of local novelty noise punk band barely scraping by through dive bar performances. or alternatively, an exception

imagine dragons survived and it’s doing worse shit than that

It’s pushing it at 150 smackaroonies but the POCO X5 does have a 120hz AMOLED with 128GB at 230 USD, granted it has a snapdragon 695, so it’s not going to max out genshin impact or whatever

Yeah the reality is that those cartoonishly evil execution methods were pioneered by counter-insurgents and anti-communists to spread horror on the third world, and they soon found themselves out of a job and quickly picked up by blooming criminal enterprises.

I liked the brutal decapitation scene and the following “this brought us no satisfaction or closure” scenes, the first 10 minutes of endgame were great, right until Ant-Man appeared and ruined the movie

I think online fundraisers were a thing before Breaking Bad, but I swear to god that after GoFundMe reality got rewritten and I can’t find evidence of them ever existing.
