The guitarist is reminiscent of young Buckethead. I thought I’m stereotyping based on the outfit, but no: looked at another performance of theirs, and the movements remind me of the bucket man even more. Except this dude isn’t freakishly tall, of course.

Buckethead can slap the shit outta bass, btw, so they’re both multi-instrumentalists in this regard.

About twenty years ago, I’ve read a hilarious rant by a translator of ‘Dune’, included with the translation itself. The dude complained that some lazy translators don’t account for the fact that English-speaking countries were deeply religious for millennia, and authors could rely on readers’ familiarity with the Bible — while translators in my language are generally less versed in it. He recounted that someone managed to translate the words ‘Mosaic law’ as ‘law of mosaic’, i.e. the art form, instead of ‘law of Moses’. I don’t remember the translator’s name (though I might have it written down somewhere in my notes), but his words are etched in my mind, and I wouldn’t mind reading more of his opinions. They’re also the reason why I myself at least tried reading the Bible.

Here’s a video from Utrecht

And another

And another (if it works for you — iirc it did for me previously)

Kind of a reverse situation of people writing ‘you’ and addressing the post OP in a reply under another comment. Which behaviour also baffles me to no end.

Did you mean six years? Because Sandu has been the president since 2020.

Check out Mamaleek, discovering them was like hearing good music for the first time again. E.g. ‘Out of Time’ for trip-hopy stuff, ‘Come and See’ for noise-rock, ‘Diner Coffee’ for blues.

And regarding drums, I like dimsunk’s experiments.

at least one extra nasty corner case I can think of

Well, now I’m curious about what that corner case is.

They should specialize in muscle cars. Those were fun.

Afaik Honda explicitly sided with the knobs crowd — though apparently after having flirted with the touchscreens, so presumably some of their cars do have them.

At this point it’s called cope.

Stone said in 2001, regarding his political views, “I hate conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals.” When asked about that quote during a 2010 interview, Stone stated: “We don’t want you to come to it thinking, ‘These guys are going to bash liberals,’ … It’s so much more fun for us to rip on liberals only because nobody else does it, and not because we think liberals are worse than Republicans.” In 2006, Stone described himself as libertarian.

A 2001 Los Angeles Times article described Parker as “not overly political” and quoted him as saying he was “a registered Libertarian”. In 2004, Parker summed up his views with the comment:

What we’re sick of—and it’s getting even worse—is: you either like Michael Moore or you wanna fuckin’ go overseas and shoot Iraqis. There can’t be a middle ground. Basically, if you think Michael Moore’s full of shit, then you are a super-Christian right-wing whatever. And we’re both just pretty middle-ground guys. We find just as many things to rip on on the left as we do on the right. People on the far left and the far right are the same exact person to us.

What does ‘studdering’ mean, could you inform me by any chance?

Like punk, industrial does have an aesthetic that has spread further than the music itself. Though personally I’m a bit of a purist in that I define music by its sound, but industrial’s sound definitely tends to tell a story.

Hatari are pretty oldschool, somewhat reminiscent of 2000s electro-industrial — Wikipedia even lists aggrotech as one of their genres. Of course, they are far from the first to do industrial techno, that existed since the 90s.

Plant people on Reddit help identify plants from a photo. Might work here on Lemmy too.

Eh, there’s no need for speedy tempo for it to be industrial. Early bands like Throbbing Gristle and Einstürzende Neubauten were in no hurry, and lots of great industrial takes a slower approach.

Rumor has it that Mick Harris was a bit sour when Londoners reinvented pretty much the same sound and made it into a popular edm genre — which might be why he stopped Scorn releases for a while after 2002. But the 2007 record ‘Stealth’ continued with the wobble and an even more pronounced industrial influence.

By the way, Harris actually has a dark-ambient project, called Lull.

Check out Mamaleek, they’re my favorite band now after I thought I’ve heard all genres.

You mean punk and metal communities, or are there ones for really obscure music?

Not necessarily: the university just provides an email server, it doesn’t mean that the email can only be checked while on the premises.

You see, I’m one of those mysterious creatures who live in the lands outside the US. I know it’s gonna be a shock, but we do exist.

As I already explained in the thread, where I am, the goal is to not give cops any material to work with, so they find someone else to harass. All the really serious data is hidden better than this.

Where I am, having a networked machine cemented up in the wall is the national pastime, for when a bunch of masked policemen show up with automatic rifles. As for what’s on that machine, that’s another national sport because no one is paying for those bastards to harass businesses.
