This Guy is unreal!! Enjoy watching prime Ohtani. Wish Yama could hit too!

I swear that every time I scroll through comments on this sub I find a new band/album that makes me ask “where has this been my whole life?!”. Top notch work people

It was about time for a sequel. Welcome back Queen

Went on a cruise in March to the West Caribbean. Wife and I stopped into a seafood shack on Mahahual, Quintana Roo Mexico. Had a Billy shirt on. Bartender says “nice shirt amigo”, and proceeds to play Away From the Mire on the speakers. It was awesome and surreal

Not a shitpost… and Not that I must come to the rescue for an album I love, but I figured I would share why I love it. The guys in BI can defend their own art. There’s a lot of antagonism towards this album on this sub(which I don’t run into anywhere else really), which is fine. Rule # 1 of life is listen to what you want, and let others do the same.

I am a visual artist (and besides loving the visuals for BI’s entire discography) I am obsessed either way art that prominently features Contrast. Another visual artist that features great contrast is Gustave Klimt. His work has intricate patterns with gold and gorgeous pops of color… but the portraits are organic, smoothly blended realism… a great contrast with the rest of the canvases or organic vs rigidity.

In music I also gravitate towards great contrasts. Elliott Smith wrote beautiful melodies that the Beatles would envy contrasted with devastating lyrics about addiction and loss. Sonic Youth has poppy structured songs that melt into seas of distortion. My favorite metal band is SIGH, who’s albums are like an amusement park ride that goes from BM to pretty much everything else on earth

Which brings me to Absolute Elsewhere. I absolutely love how the album switches from DM musically to synthwave, to riff noodling… back to DM. I seen that as the biggest complaint on here, and frankly that’s what I love most about it. For me, it’s all about the contrast.

Enjoy what you want peeps🤘🏼

TL;DR: I love this album because of the musical contrast it has… which also seems to be the biggest complaint from others

Pretty fun little half day adventure

Drove out to the desert with my family and some friends today to check out some cool lava tubes. Stopped at a gas station in a town of 1200 people. And the guy behind my register saw my shirt…. “SIGH?! Hell ya!!!” and pulled open the collar of his work polo to show that he had a Cannibal Corpse shirt on underneath. Always cool to run into fellow metalheads out in the wild

Not supposed to share political views at work… but I’ll make an exception for TW

Started a new job yesterday after having been laid off in Feb. i was 100% remote, but am now in office 4/5 days a week. Was pretty bummed at first as I loved the remote work life… but it was a great opportunity. An am mostly grateful that I have a job, when so many others don’t.

Started yesterday and as part of the new-hire swag I was handed a really nice leather bound journal for notes. I wasn’t really using my few FPs at home at all.

So I brought in my Dolly Parton pen tray and my M1000 and am looking forward to more usage than before!

I know the intent here. Someone needs to explain to them that that’s where the actual windshield wiper should go.
