I don't mean to focus on the language, but I'm glad to have grown up with women who are badasses so I never really internalised the whole "men are strong, women are delicate" thing, it made it that much easier to locate myself. Cos I've always been able to be whatever I want to be, that's never been ...

There is nothing wrong with... well, any art but in this case music, being pretty, and making it ugly, challenging and difficult to listen to doesn't automatically make it interesting or good

And seeing as we're here, Boc Maxima would've made a better debut than MHTRTC.

Honestly? Yeah. "BoC Maxima" has always meant, to me "whatever BoC is, this is it at it's most that it can be, at this time". You know, they've had their playing around finding their sound and this is them saying ...

I have a suspicion that warp deliberately held some releases back from their legacy artists ( of which I count boc as one) until they could release them all in a relatively close period. To kind of say "we're not putting this out until we can set up a 90s act legacy wave around it"

That's marketing ...

From a time before the most boring force in the universe (irony) ruined art for a generation and you could just mean stuff, heart out, at full volume. Pure musical theatre. RIP Bonnie

Blood on the Clocktower. Which does have an official online version at botc.app, but it started as a boardgame and I've been playing it in person at the local board game cafe. It's a social deduction game for about 12-15 people, like Werewolf but like... on steroids

Brief explanation of the rules ...

There's a dude who had a vault full of unreleased material to put boards to shame.

Radiohead are only impressive if you've never heard the things they're copying. And working out your social anxiety in lyrics is really only good for one or two tracks, the rest is navel-gazing.

Well, it's Crohns disease which isn't exactly uncommon but it's one of those that mostly doesn't kill you and incredibly unglamorous so it's down the list of things they throw money at to find a cure. One day they'll work out something with stem cells or crispr or something I'm sure.

Loads of ...

Thank you for offering, but it's not mystery pain it's a known condition and sadly it's just one of those things that doesn't have a cure. I have a hospital appointment tomorrow and I'm hoping I can convince them to throw steroids at it and that'll buy me a few months off.

I mean on the one hand that artwork is really impactful and totally on brand for the album, makes great album art and great advertising. They're really well done.

But on the other hand, I kind of don't want blind-eyed demon children on my wall, you know? They're not even *my* kids.

An artist I've been aware of, as in known the name, for ages but never dug into - but this is brilliant. It sounds like My Bloody Valentine!

Kelela is awesome. The first I heard of her was she had the show in the run up to the Societas X ...

What if it didn't, and that's why we have Inferno?

I'm just not convinced they've stealth released under a different name, though I'd love it if they had, don't get me wrong. With the exception of P Primers ofc. But I think BoC may have deliberately cultivated or maybe just not dissuaded the idea that there might be stuff out there.

These huge gaps ...

Yeah I've been using blue forever. And the mobile version of it on mobile.

I tend to prefer dark themes generally so if there were an even darker one I'd use it but I mean only if it's no bother for the mods to set it up.

Wild that this exists.

I disagree on the interpretations of the pre inferno albums but I agree with the main point.

Both in terms of sound but also theme.

Oh good for her. Fingers crossed!

Also not a Christian but sure, why not

Jesus dying on the cross was a sacrifice, the torture and killing of a god, supposed to pay for whatever sins mankind committed. The idea was the sacrifice was so great the cost of your own sins was already paid as long as you tried to live your life by his ...

Feeling my health conditions today.

I was on a drug for them that kept them at bay for a solid 10 years but it suddenly stopped working a few years ago. They moved me onto another which stopped working last summer and I've been in pain ever since.

You don't need a lot of pain to drive you fucking ...
