I do what I can, G money.

Depends where to, but it should be between $2-5. No more than that.

Sweet sig.

You're my favorite moderator.

Thank you, I'm very fond of it myself. I never want to change it!


Congrats on becoming a mod, by the way..

I was kinda hiding in this pic... hrm. But look! We're soulmates!

I second Doc's comment. Great fucking band.

Nice av/sig.

They're on tour in Europa right now with Integrity and Coliseum, which would be an amazing tour package. Hopefully they'll stick together for Integ's US tour later this year.

Yea, they are def a fun time. They used to play live on a college (UMASS Lowell)radio back when I was in highschool.

Do you have the Poacher Diaries? Thats some bad ass shit.

When forever comes crashing is my personal fav. The DVD is a fun time as well.

Not really based on much, but I feel like you would enjoy Throbbing Gristle if you're not already a fan of theirs.

Also, be sure to check out Swans, if you aren't already familiar with them.

You'll see...soon enough.

Aw, that's pretty nasty, man. The worst part is the old lady, who is enormously fat, and decides it's the perfect day to wear a sleeveless shirt. Old, fat people have no shame.

Well got to appreciate the classic DM

so Titanic as a horror film huh, well it did have DeCrapio so that's reason enough heh

It is sad.
Actually pathetic is a little more accurate.

But good movies aren't for everyone, and it's probably for the best that it stays that way.

Their 1st album is wonderful. Very melancholoy and in the tradition of GYBE. Born Into Trouble is great also. I believe it has vocals on at least two songs.

After that, they decided to go full on vocal with their other albums and it sucks. Sorry, but Efrim sucks at singing. I hear people say it's an aquirred taste, but I don't think so. Tom Waits vocals is an aquirred taste, if Efrim can get away with singing the way he does, then I am convinced that ANYONE can get away with singing and sounding like complete shit.

That label, Constellation sucks now. They used to be good, but then all the Canadian Sophisticated Hipsters took over and now it's complete shit. Even Do Make Say Think's newer album blows, and I like their first four (their self-titled is the best).

If you're into the earlier releases from Constellation, like GYBE and DMST, then I recommend checking out Fly Pan Am. They're different, but they are fucking awesome (they're really into experimenting with audio frequencies too). I'd recommend picking up N'ecoutez Pas. It has some vocals, but they're so fucking awesome that they can get away with it not tainting the song...unlike every other band on that label.

Hangedup is pretty good too. Incredibly impressive for a duo consisting of drums and viola.

Also if you like the more experimental ensemble, I recommend checking out Set Fire To Flames(side-project of GYBE) and Shalabi Effect, which is more based around using world instruments for a spaced out psychedelic feel. They're both on Alien8, which is into a lot of the same stuff as Constellation, but more on the electronic/avante-garde side.

You don't like Anaal Nathrakh?!?

Hahahaha! Well! I can't say I've ever tripped on Ambien, but then again, it's not something that I've ever set out to do. The operative word in my previous comment is "try." I don't ever make it more than an hour before I have to go to bed. My eyes literally cannot stay open any longer.

Maybe the next time I have a sitter for the kids I'll give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes.

So how ya been anyway, Vic? Life been treating you like a redheaded step-child?

The problem that I run into is I take it too early and then try to stay up because "9pm is just too early for sleep." (riiiiight) I end up staggering all over the house like a drunken sailor and giggling at myself in the mirror. I also ricochet off of things, trip over the dog and end up with bumps and bruises. It's like being drunk without the hangover!!!!

That shit is a godsend though. If I can make it past 8pm without pouring alcohol into my face, I will then I pop an Ambien and get a decent night's sleep without all the weird dreams.

Now, what is an Ambi-trip? Enlighten me, oh wise one!
