Okay but let's talk about how Mastodon took the Through Silver In Blood/Times of Grace guitar tuning and made it rock in a completely different way

I've been called post metal, which i guess is reasonably accurate but I don't *feel* like I'm making post metal, if you get me

Buzzov.en, I guess Eyehategod although I never listen to them (I'm mostly joking, all subgenres are approximation at best)

the thing is if you have a six hour day for eight hours pay & full employment you now have time to enjoy walking your dog. to cook yourself something at leisure. to enjoy taking care of your dwelling. the answer isn't magic robots. it's unions, it's workers getting the means of production

Lol imagine doing the 9-9-6 grind for years only to walk away with nothing but crippling burnout when your startup goes under or the VCs with controlling equity and 3x payout preferences take all the profits from its acquisition. Couldn't be me

Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation

Doing that thing where I drive myself nuts by listening to unmixed dry guitars and panicking that the tones are bad, always a useful practice Objectively tho, these sound good. With the drums, it's almost Godflesh - Hymns but without the really twangy tone

The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this: When the digital future that Sam Altman ( or Elon, or Andreessen, etc) predicts fails to materialize, he doesn’t have to give the money back.
