GOOSE FUCKER
You ever go to Chapel of Sacred Mirrors? I have. Buncha weirdos, kept talking about "disco biscuits". Like, shut up. I think it moved.

Also Alex Grey is a dick. I kept asking him to paint popeye and he kept painting other stuff and didn't even try to paint Popeye.

Tool rules idk if you think it's cringe or whatever.

10K days isn't the best one but after a really long time like maybe 4-5K days I realized it's better than I have given it credit for.

A guy in college had a tool poster because their logo looked kinda like a penis and he thought that was funny, he never listened to their music.

Yeah but like, especially so with tool fans. Don't think too much about it it's all jokes.

STILL TRYING HARD
I think people should be allowed to like things so long as it's in moderation. One song per musical act seems reasonable. Nobody is going to take anything too far if they just like the one song. For example the only song I like is Soothsayer by Buckethead. I enjoy it privately in my own home and I don't make it anybody else's problem. Why can't everyone just do that?

Idk I think The Doomed and Talk Talk are good songs. That's it though.

I left a comment on the YouTube video for that album (lol) that said "this sounds like a Lateralis B side."

I'm STILL getting replies that are saying "you're not a real fan"

It's been years and they're still mad.

yeah I can get behind this, I still really respect those three as musicians

Maynard jumped so far up his own rear end right about the time of Puscifer and the winery that he's just dragging actual good musicians down at this point

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.


The guitar transition between Parabol/Parabola, and the entire context of both will forever be some of the hardest going in Music history imo

I think there's a kind of balance between a songs album and a conceptual album in Aenima and it's great. As a conceptual album I think Lateralus wins to me.
