Idk how he does 90 minutes everyday. I recently started indoor cycling and was like “how hard could it be I have a decent squat and deadlift”.

It’s very hard, not only physically but mentally. Since NL is Neurotypical I assume he just locks in with a big smile on his face the whole time. But Jesus 90 minutes is a long time.

Also if you are going for anything respectable w/kg wise it’s gonna kick your ass. I’ve got the bug now and may invest in an upgrade from the shitty bikes that my gym has.

Basically just I respect the grind that NL does, it’s not easy.

(30min @ 2.5w/kg has me dying)

Oh my god the chapter where Annea describes how Ai came to be is painful. I’m sure reading it you just gloss over it. I listen to audio books and wow it was really annoying lol.

Hyper hyper parasitism, parasitism with no bounds, evil parasitism. Parasitism for the hell of it. Throw in a Radiant Gossamer and we would have had a bingo.

Just listened to The Mountain for the first time (amazing album). When hearing Casablanca though I swear the melody is familiar and sounds like another Gorillaz song. My firs though was Kansas but its not. Then I went though Plastic beach and nothing immediately jumped out to me.

The parts I'm specifically referencing is the first line 'I'm here in the painted, World of blue sky" and the chorus "No, I don't know anything that feels like this". Its the rhythmic inclination of pitch that's familiar. Please help I'm not crazy

Edit: It’s “Possession Island” of Cracker Island

You ever wonder if your native language just wasn’t meant for you. I’m an English speaker it’s the only language I know but maybe I’d be cracked at Vietnamese? Perhaps the way I think is more suited towards Hungarian or something.

Just saw them last night in Minnesota and was kind of disappointed. I think the audio mix wasn’t to good since the vocals and instruments were the exact sam volume which made it hard to hear anything.

Luke’s guitar solos at the end of every song were not the best imo. He can for sure play but a couple times it felt like Marty Mcfly in Back to the Future. I saw them last year in Chicago and it was more tame.

Still enjoyed it for the most part, he played some deep cuts. Also the ai visuals sucked ass.

I’m like totally into your laib. Seriously killer laib m’lady.

My Picks

Hot Razor
Matte Black
And to Those I Love Thanks for Sticking Around

Hot Razor:
The entire Yin Yang tapes project was a huge deviation from their style at the time. Also pays homage to their inspiration and old school rap. They use vocal effects perfectly and have a flow to match all while having unique beats. I think Hot Razor is the peak of all of these factors.

Matte Black:
Yes it’s over played. Yes it went main stream. This is exactly why it’s on my list. This is one of the few songs from The Boys that I’ll bump at a function with people who aren’t into $b. It’s danceable the lyrics aren’t overly proactive or depressing, and the beat is fun.

And to Those I Love Thanks for Sticking Around:
This is the epitome of what they do best. Self loathing and despair perfectly illustrated through music. The contrast between their voices is perfect. Ruby’s talent is on full display. What else is there to add for this one?
