I think they underestimated how dramatic this community can be. Which is surprising considering the map size whining that happened.

Damn my clones are rolling. This is awesome. And couldn't be against a worse team. I truly wish the worst for TCU from now until they get ride of Dykes and Briles.

Lovecraft is awesome if you want some short stories. Call of Cthulhu, Colour out of Space, and Rats in the Walls area my personal favorites.

They could go 3-9 this year and it would be a remarkable improvement over last year. I don't think people understand how bad they were last year. Like maybe one of the worst teams of the past 20 years bad.

808s, his most depressive album of his career is his stadium album? Was this a typo? I could accept Grad maybe.

There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. I think you're right.

Are you serious? Dude completely changed hip hop, multiple times. Absolutely massive innovator in production style, and basically created the chipmunk soul style of production. He would be considered one of the most important figures in hip hop even if he never even released an album, just for his production work with Jay Z.

The College Dropout was a landmark record for hip hop, for many reasons.

Then he had another landmark record in 808s, popularizing the use of auto tune and melodicism in hip hop (not a trend in hip hop I loved, but you can't deny the influence here).

Then he had another landmark record in MBDTF, bringing hip hop to the absolute front and center of pop culture. Completely bombastic and basically the HH equivalent of a stadium rock album. Collabs with Justin Vernon and samples from King Crimson brought in fans of rock to hip hop like never before.

Yeezus is slowly showing itself to be more and more influential as well, though this one was delayed a bit but we're seeing more and more high profile disciples.

Anyone that denies the influence of Kanye is completely ignorant. He's a piece of shit, sure. But his music has been incredibly important and to deny that is absolutely ridiculous.

Man I miss their VC stuff. I've liked their albums less and less with each release.

Fuck Kanye but at the same time he's one of the most important and influential musicians of my generation and you bet your ass I'm gonna listen to it and everything he'll put out from now until perpetuity. I'll just pirate it so he doesn't get the proceeds.

As an ISU fan this was a fun weekend. We got a conference win in the first time in 2 years, in a pretty fun game. Iowa got assblasted to the moon which was hilarious.

Only a matter of time before striking becomes illegal. Nothing is going to happen unless a general strike happens among all industries.

How are you hearing it? Nice speakers or a nice set of headphones? I'm guessing that's the difference.

 

Used on recordings by everyone from Phoebe Bridgers to The National and Taylor Swift, the rubber bridge generates short-sustaining, almost otherworldly voices from an otherwise regular guitar
