unearthlyxchild: Support our Second Amendment! It’s not that I don’t support the Second Amendment, but I DO support having a good argument for things.  If you were to take this logic and apply it to everything it would literally invalidate EVERY LAW. Just replace that with murder. “Please, tell me how nobody is ever murdered/raped/etc.” THEY ARE, BUT IT’S PRETTY GODDAMN OBVIOUS THAT THOSE THINGS ARE WRONG AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. I’m not saying it’s the same way with guns.  On the contrary, I believe in rights to gun ownership, but I’m saying your argument is stupid and you need a better one.

“Please, tell me how nobody is ever murdered/raped/etc.”

THEY ARE, BUT IT’S PRETTY GODDAMN OBVIOUS THAT THOSE THINGS ARE WRONG AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

Austin Peralta | Endless Planets Austin Peralta was a jazz pianist who made it big at a VERY young age in Japan and moved to America a few years ago, joining Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label (and being the only jazz musician, as far as I know, to do so).  Then, he died at age 22 from what coroners declared to be viral pneumonia.  Dude was younger than me. Anyway, this is his debut album for Brainfeeder (the other ones that he made in Japan are super hard to find/expensive).  Although I’m not great at classifying jazz, I would call it hard bop.  There are 7 tracks on here and 3 are less than 2 minutes, but the other four are all REALLY LONG.  They also tend to pick up a lot of energy and stay very chaotic and driving for long periods of time, which wasn’t quite what I was expecting from an album called ‘Endless Planets’; I guess all that space-rock has conditioned me to expect something else from space imagery.  It also doesn’t have any weird electronics (until the last about 2 minutes of the album), which also wasn’t something I would have expected from an album executive produced by Flying Lotus.  Anyway, it’s pretty short, but it’s a pretty cool listen if you’re into this kind of thing.

Well, my laptop is pretty much not gonna work any more, and that’s where I have all of my music uploaded, so the music posts are gonna slow down until I get a new computer (which will hopefully be rrl soon)

That probably irritates ME more than it irritates some of you because I really like doing those…

List of Disappointing Things I Found at Goodwill Today

  • An old copy of some PC Sports Game that some asshole put in the case for Nas’s It Was Written
  • Daft Punk’s ‘Discovery’, but the disc was broken cleanly in half
  • Queen’s ‘A Kind of Magic’, without the front album art
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magic’… on cassette

TEAM SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Medkits

Four things to know about medkits to truly be credit to team:

1) Medics always get first dibs on medkits
If there’s a Medic nearby, go to him for heals instead of medkits. Being the top target for the enemy team, he’s most likely going to need health or a quick extinguishing in due time. It’s better to let him have something to fall back on, than have your team suffer the disadvantages and respawn time of a dead medic.

2) Before grabbing a medkit, look and see if anyone else needs it more
If you’re just topping off your health, or not on fire, let your near-death, on-fire, or bleeding teammates take the health before you. They probably won’t survive the time it takes for medkits to respawn if you take it for yourself.

3) Heavies can drop their sandvitch with alt-fire, (Right-click) which acts as a medium-medkit for other players
Your sandvitch isn’t just for you, it can also save the life of dying teammates. All medics love a Heavy considerate enough to share a sandvitch and save them from burning or dying. However, you yourself can’t benefit from this. If you pick up your own dropped sandvitch, you’ll just recharge your food meter.

4) Heavies can fully recharge their food meter by picking up a medkit at full health
This works with any size of medkit. You can use this to “upgrade” a small medkit to a medium-sized one for your teammates, or essentially take the medkit with you for later, so your teammates don’t have to retreat for health.

Vampire Weekend | Modern Vampires of the City There’s a lot of hype on this album right now (which I imagine there would be even if it was awful because, come on, it’s Vampire Weekend), but that being said, I REALLY like this album.  The general consensus from many of my fellow hipsters is that the first half is really solid and the second half is really just okay, but I think the second half is GENERALLY good.  There are a few tracks that have their boring parts (Everlasting Arms, Finger Back), and it definitely slows down a bit for tracks like Hannah Hunt and especially Hudson, but it’s still great.  I love the ending track.  Vampire Weekend on this album still retains their very literal interpretation of the term ‘baroque pop’, with strings, harpsichords (real ones!), horns, etc.  They’re also still big fans of loud, crashing hip-hop drums and electronics; I didn’t notice until I listened to this in the car with Josh and he asked whether there were guitars that there aren’t a lot of guitar parts on this album (but there are some).  It’s not so much that it’s now Ezra Koenig w/electronic accompaniment but there’s definitely a wider variety of instruments and recording techniques here.  This is also the album where they’ve discovered the wonder of digitally pitching Ezra’s voice up and down like rappers are so fond of doing these days.  My favorite tracks on this are Diane Young, Don’t Lie, and Worship You, but they’re all pretty good.  If you don’t like Vampire Weekend I doubt if this will really change your mind (although you might like some of the darker songs on here since they’re noticeably different from the rest of their output), if you don’t KNOW if you like Vampire Weekend then you ought to check it out for sure, and if  you DO like Vampire Weekend I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, although I don’t know if you’ll like it better than the self-titled.

Anonymous asked: If you had to put yourself into one of those cliché high school groups like stoners, jocks, etc. what would you categorize yourself as in high school? What about now?

In High School, band geek.

Now, I’d say whatever you’d call that group of kids that does well in their class, participates in extracurriculars, and finds time to have a good time anyways.  There was a big group like that at my high school and I wouldn’t call them the preppy kids or the overachievers or the jocks or whatever, but I dunno what you’d call them.

Now though I think I’m pretty well over High School cliches.

Mastodon | Blood Mountain \m/ MOAR METAL My metal collection is 7 whole albums now, and this is the only one by a band that didn’t start in the 80s.  And what’s more, I actually like it pretty well!  I think it will take more listens (I’ve listened to it three or so times) to fully digest this but every time I’ve listened to it so far I like it.  I’m glad I just happened to pick one of the Mastodon albums with clean vocals…  I can’t do screaming just yet, y’all.
