Casey Bennett said:I have no idea, I just keep getting a 403 error every time I click the link.
Thanks for checking on that for me. Seems like the link is acting wonky since it works for me, it just won't actually show the photo. Whatever, no biggie, found it somewhere else. 🙂
I honestly don't get what the deal is here. Why isn't the image showing up? I did everything exactly like I always do. Not sure if I need to tweak something in the URL or whatever
Mark Cruz15 said:Ladies, this show was absolute genius. It’s basically what those Surrealists shamelessly ripped off, along with the Monty crew.
I had no clue. Honestly, it makes sense since I haven't really tuned into much Surrealist stuff lately... and even when I do, I always end up getting distracted by Brits with those catchy titles like The Phantom of the Opera. But yeah, The Daily Show is seriously top-tier.
That sausage lady Shagal uses to whack Professor Abronsius over the head in Ball of the Vampire 😁, or that seriously intense Reynolds bow in Deliverance.
I think the photo is way too huge, so here's the link
I honestly don't get why they go deleting posts just because people aren't feeling them. On the flip side, once some troll swoops in on a controversial thread, they have no choice but to wipe it clean or hand out bans. Then you've got Lisa Davis46, who seems totally clueless about what's actually going down, inviting someone into a debate and then acting completely shocked when the whole thing goes south. 🙄 Same deal with how they let insults slide, too. Like, I saw someone straight up tell another user they were being a total nightmare to deal with on a thread, and nobody even blinked.
The prime contender for the most cult Icelandic band ever.
They play songs about friendship, love, and hate—but if you actually listen, it’s mostly just tracks about driving trucks, some guy named Ingimar riding a gnu, and a murder behind a sardine factory. The vocals? Pure chaos, courtesy of former health secretary Ottar Proppe.
The Merck Manual and The Catcher in the Rye are honestly pretty "charming." I don't even have the heart to revisit The Butcher ever again, though—way too brutal for me.
Walking on Water is absolute madness. Jack the Ripper and Mushrooms were such a blast, I'd probably have to watch them all over again.
The rest of the album. Since 51st State didn't make the cut on this list, I’m just gonna break them out separately.
Justin Sullivan – vocals, guitar Robert Heaton – Drums Jason Harris – bass Mark Feltham hitting those harmonica parts on "Poison Street" and "Ballad"... absolutely killer.
Jason Mendoza said:Honestly, what bugs me most is how I totally missed this, because by all accounts, I really should've known about it already. It's just such a beautiful cacophony of sounds—so raw and high quality. I'm digging it quite a bit, and the vocals actually work for me, which is huge since bad vocals are usually my biggest dealbreaker with bands like this.
Well, there you go, now you know. 🙂 This album is pure chaos—it’s unique and honestly kind of sexy (I actually used to make fun of them for their lyrics once). It's widely considered one of those peak "insane" Black Metal albums, though I can't really think of any others to even compare it to. Plus, Aldrahn is basically legendary, easily one of the best vocalists in the whole scene. Glad you're feeling it.
The last part of The Lord of the Rings—honestly, there was zero tension for me after they killed off the only decent, interesting elf at Holloway's fortress 👎. It was just boring. I think I managed to sit through maybe thirty minutes before checking out. Like most stuff on TV, I’ve caught bits and pieces here and there, but I can never sit through the whole thing in one go.
Amarcord—tried starting this a few times, but I just can't handle listening to Italians for more than ten minutes at a time.
Pulp Fiction—tried that one multiple times too, but it just didn't click for me.
Shutter Island—someone talked me into watching it, even though I already knew how it would end whenever DiCaprio is starring in something. He's such a total non-entity; I forget the plot of every single movie he's in, except for Titanic. Between him, Depp, and Pitt, he’s easily the biggest bore in Hollywood.
That Japanese horror flick everyone was raving about, The Grudge I think? Nothing actually happens in it, maybe some kid jumps out at you out of nowhere. I drifted off halfway through, and it wasn't even late at night.
Pete Burns—hands down the greatest pop vocalist out there, and honestly one of the best ever if you ask me. He went from being some reality TV villain to basically a national treasure. I mean, what can you even say? Growing up with an alcoholic mom, just a total social case, dealing with assault and getting beaten up when he first started walking around in a wheelchair... most people would’ve ended up hanging themselves or becoming a serial killer or something. But Burns chose to be a rebel instead, and hey, things turned out pretty damn well.
Anyway, Duran Duran is fascinating mainly because of his vocals, though in that early phase, you've got Wayne Hussey messing around with the strings and drummer Joe Musker popping up occasionally—not surprising he ended up in jazz. Personally, I’m not feeling That's The Way ( i like IT ); it’s not that the cover is bad, it just gets under my skin for no reason. It’s all made up for by Misty Circles, which is easily one of my favorites alongside Number Eleven (BBC session version) and Whirlpool.
What I Want is also totally irresistible, especially I can have anything that I want but what you want from me I don't want none! and that part at the end: I can do what I want but I don't do nothing! 🤣 👍
There’s some reworked older material in here too; I know SIT on IT is actually a version of the original Guilded Splinters. Someone left a comment saying: "i was at this gig they supported killing joke brings back memory Ian McCulloch was there and a few other soon go be stars i remember pete in the crowd and everyone was frightened to death of him fun days"
Just imagine how intense that must have been, Killing Joke and Duran Duran together 😁
And yeah...
Wolfbrigade is kind of a miss for me; it lacks that romantic vibe. That Viking-tinted melody dedicated to the American author Karin Boye—specifically her novel Kallocain—just didn't really hit home for people.
The Men That Will Not Be Blamed for Nothing - Now That's What I Call Steampunk! Volume 1 / The Steampunk (2010)
1. Etiquette 2. Steph 3. Bedlam 4. Goggles 5. Sewer 6. Boilerplate 7. Moon 8. Boasting Song 9. Blood Red 10. Charlie 11. ...wait, just checking the list again...
I’ll be honest, it didn't really hit me at first. It felt way too sappy, and I wasn't feeling how they kind of drifted into the chorus instead of just slamming into it—that sudden burst is what makes the original so great. But man, listening to it again after all this time... I think it's actually irresistible.
I just went down a rabbit hole listening to Dracula by Himiko, and honestly? I’m a little lost on what I was actually expecting, so now I'm just sitting here feeling pretty confused. That said, you can never really go wrong with a vampire track, so I figured I'd give her a shoutout. 😁
