zoux posted:I didn't know what it was about, I just liked it. I used to sit on the floor in front of my stereo listening to the radio with my finger on the record button so I could tape the songs I liked. That's what the world looked like before the internet kiddies. Somewhere I've still got one or two mix tapes I made more or less in that manner. I don't think I've got anything handy that could even play them at this point, and anyway would prefer to leave whatever questionable things I included on them lost to the fog of time. Though to be honest, I still wonder how I never got any speeding tickets when I had NIN's The Perfect Drug and Offspring's Gone Away back to back on one of those tapes.

He was a nice guy but pretty pent up and every once in awhile I wondered if he was going to snap and start strangling Catholics. One time I was up late doing homework and he was talking to himself in a dream. He said in a stage whisper "LET US TAKE TO THE FIELD AND FIGHT FOR THE LORD <crowd cheering noise>". It cracked me up.

My mom went to some seminar and saw some video about how Masters of the Universe was actually secret satanism and when I came home from school she had thrown out all my Hemans  Years later I mentioned it in a thread somewhere and turns out it was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVCEQ-543ak

When I was in high school, there was a church across the street from the high school that had this giant billboard that they would put fundamentalist messages on to try to "educate" the high schoolers, since you gotta get church into school somehow. Everyone made fun of how incredibly out-of-touch and backwards the messages tended to be, though. My favorite that still sticks with me is "God does all the work, Doctors get all the credit." loving moochers, doctors.

It was me  Actually, my conversion began when I was 17 and I was arguing with my token liberal friend about why Reagan was a great president and I suddenly realized I didn't really buy my own argument. Thus began a long philosophical trek to agnostism and socialism. I literally high fived my friend when the Republicans took control of the House in 1994.

Frank Peretti formed the backbone of the fiction section in the church "library," and I read all of them. This Present/Piercing the Darkness are basically crystallized evangelical craziness. I also collected Redemption cards in junior high because MtG was verboten. Gameplay is basically the plot of This Present Darkness, but with angels drawn in '90s Image Comics style. It's really embarrassing in retrospect.

The idea that literally every decision you make every day is extremely high stakes poo poo with literal armies of invisible angels and demons having metal as gently caress swordfights for your soul and if you say a swear word then a thousand angels are going to get torn apart by demonic hordes.

I get that people seem to be done posting ska, but I have not yet begun to post. It was pretty easy to run into mindless ska-pop in the 90's, but over time a pretty significant number of socially conscious bands have cropped up and released some good tracks. A small sampling of good music that didn't push the social message too hard: The Slackers: International War Criminal Tim Armstrong: Poets Life The misguided (but well meaning) RX Bandits Second and Third Albums. They got progressively less ska and more political and prog rock-y as time went on (and bad, I guess). The epitome of pop-ska, Reel Big Fish: Sell Out, which I think deserves mention as it's about upbeat nihilism in the face of the corporatization of youth culture. Bonus: Buford O'Sullivan's Decade Revival Song, for no other reason than it's probably my favorite.

Apprently it's still going- I remember around 2004 digging out my old cards and giving them to a college classmate to give to her kids who played the game. Got a very cute little crayon and printer paper thank you card for it.

One Mormon will drink all your beer. Two or more will spend the afternoon judging you for drinking beer while fishing. Solution: don't take the Mormons fishing with you.

I still think the funniest thing is the idea that New Agers were part of an insidious Satanic conspiracy and that meditation was going to possess your children. That brand of Christian has a stronger belief in magic than actual practitioners.

I think swing revival was a separate and distinct genre from 3rd wave ska or ska-punk. Although it's possible that the only reason those bands could get work was because suits were hiring anyone with a horn section.zoux posted:This is me irl now. This is one of the best things on youtube.

I dunno, if you earnestly believe in demons and magic and crap this kind of makes sense. Ouija boards are supposed to a means to receive messages from supernatural spirits; that's what it says on the tin
