That's because you seem to have a very linear taste in music.

That's why I'm in the military, duh! Right! We are all dumb dumbs!

Oh noes.

[Plastic Nathrakh]

Are you trying to insult me by saying my insult wasn't as bad as it should have been? ....wait...what?

"Your username on YouTube is “Poopy Nuggeteer.” Why is that?

I’m so into scatological humour. I think it’s something really cool to think about. Even the most brilliant person still poops. I imagine this scenario where people, who are infinitely more intelligent than you and I, are sitting around in a room talking about secret government masonry and superstructure, but in the middle of it, a guy has to get up to take a shit. That’s something that really connects humans, other than being born and dying. We all shit and fart. So, nothing gets me going better than a good fart joke."

No way dude.

[Dick Sirloin]

Just downloaded his latest three (he's put out THREE albums since Ki?!?), and from what I've read, I bet they're gonna be tits. I AM VERY EXCITE!!!!!

(as a side note, I'm glad he finally got rid of the skullet and shaved his dome like a sensible person)

Addicted and Deconstructed are solid listens, but Ghost is possibly the most boring album ever created. Good luck with that one.

[Dick Sirloin]

I like boring music.

Oh, by the way, the motherfucker has two, possibly three, more albums due out this year.

2) Casualties of Cool: a duo with myself and Che (ki)… it sounds like haunted Johnny cash songs. late night music, completely isolated sounding and different than anything I’ve done. Che sings most of the leads, and it’s probably the truest reflection of who I am in life at this point. Trying to release it in tandem with Epicloud.

3) Z2 epic epic epic, complicated, musical, sci-fi, immense expense, the goal of it all I suppose.

Been scrolling through some of DT's tweets, and have come across some pretty epic humblebrags. Such as:


Walked into a Vancouver HMV and couldn't place what music was playing. Realized it was Ziltoid, so I left

Any way this Juno thing pans out, I'll be happy when its over. It's a particular flavour of stress I'm unfamiliar with. Will be nice to work (I take it Juno is some kind of awards thing)

Very generous and socially very awkward dinner with many surly, wealthy, hard to talk with 'rock guys'... what a strange business. funny!



And, also, this:

@Nickelback good show tonight!

Mainly, because Ghost was meant to be sort of ambient and New Age-y. I think it's also supposed to be a contrast to his bipolarity. Ghost is fucking AH-MAY-ZING to have sex to though

He has shown spurts of consistency.

So I only just recently realized that the Infinity LP is NOT the originally intended version. The REAL version has the following tracklist:

1. Truth
2. Processional: Star Child Rise / Welcome Home / Metamorph / Infinite Waltz
3. Christeen
4. War
5. Soul Driven Cadillac
6. Om
7. Life Is All Dynamics
8. Unity

.....and HOOOOOLLLLLEEEEEEEEEE SHIT this version is SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER. Totally different album. Transcend-fucking-dental. I never thought tracks like "Ants" or "Noisy Pink Bubbles" or "Bad Devil" (as much as I love it) fit with the rest of the album. And I was right.

Supposedly the studio rushed him to release the album by a certain date, meaning gaymazing cuts like "Processional" and "Om" had to be relegated to EP status.

Anyway......
