Re: AHWT reissue ON vinyl - 6 days ago

QuoteNocashstyle I hope that is the case. It just wouldn't be right to have the bonus tracks on the physical LP. Bonus tracks definitely feel like a "digital" thing That's what Merge did with the Archers of Loaf reissues.

Has anyone checked to see how much their CD copy of AHWT weighs? This is important.

Re: Sonnet Contest - 4 months ago

Ug, I hate structure in poetry. I've been writing most of my life, and I've pretty much always written free verse. I count syllables per line, but more subconsciously. That said I'm trying hard to write a proper sonnet.. no training. It'll happen. Right now I'm working on long delayed rewrites and listening to Get Lonely. Edit; Based on Moon Over Goldsboro, and GL iun general. Not great but

Quotesimonfox 1) The Kirby games (at least the ones I have played) are awesome. I am male. And in my 30s. 2) I pretty much only have the money to play games on my computer, but I use SNES and NES emulators. I'm playing Earthbound right now. Pretty awesome. I just finished my second playthrough of Earthbound on my phone last week.

I'm pretty sure JD writes these songs on tours. I always imagine him seeing a road sign and throwing it in a song.

Re: Get Lonely bonus tracks? - 6 months ago

QuoteSlowWestVulture Quotefever Holy shit, that track sequencing is insane. Oh.. maybe that isn't the real tracklisting. Now I'm sad. I am totally okay with In Memory Of Satan being the ender.

This album far exceeded my expectations, esp. Considering I wasn't a huge fan of the last one. The whole package is kind of incredible, really nice looking record.

Re: Best of Nothing For Juice - 9 months ago

Album has some great songs, but it"s the worst of the pre-4ad records by a large margin. It"s really inconsistent and a long pointless noise section that grates on me every time.
