A year from now I will own a house with a garage. In that garage will be an '80s GM G-Body with me, a Haynes manual, and a bunch of half busted tools. Blue Oyster Cult will be blaring on the radio as I take pictures of whatever it is I just broke to post to Hubski as I beg kleinbl00 and lm to help me figure out how to fix it. Naturally, I expect them to give me shit for working on a busted 305 with enough rubber hoses to reach the moon and back. This is my dream. I will make it happen
Truth. Thing is though? Breaking a 305 means you have to haul it out, pull the dirty bits on and put it on something else. Takes your weekend right the fuck down. Gotta say. Not a fan of breaking motors. Far better to build it tougher than you need, and then drive it.
True fact. kleinbl00 is actually a huge fan of Bosch. From their engineering designs to their production quality to their customer service. He just can't stop singing their praises. He's been particularly pleased with a certain Bosch washer of his. /s Edit: What are you working on that is using Bosch designs? I thought you were fixing up a Mr2.
I recently re-discovered two of my favorite anime music videos from waaay back in the day. Lke 16+ years ago (fuck me). Basically people edit together clips from an anime series to serve as a music video to a song. Quality varies wildly, but as I said two my favorites have recently made an appearance: Neon Genesis Evangelion + Rammestein - Engel Pokemon + Mindless Self Indulgence - Bitches (lyrics are wildly NSFW) Beyond that, I've been listening to a lot of trip hop lately, especially Portishead. Damn but I love me some Portishead. I always like to think that you can tell how good a band truly is by how they do live. And, well, here we go. I especially like how simple everything is. No pagentry (not that there's anything wrong with pagentry (NSFW) in live music). Finally, Saltillo has been coming up on my random playlist a lot. edit to finally fix the markup
The chorus, roughly translated: Would've been better to run away, just go and that's it Beautiful shambles, but I don't mind There's a thousand reasons not to, but damnit I'm staying And my favorite lyric: It's stupid pop music, but whatever. At least I can claim to be studying German when I listen ;DBeautiful shambles, perfect disaster
All warning sirens sound like music on our little island
Glad I could help get his name out there! The artist is Jesse Stewart, he sometimes plays in groups Coat of Grime and Deep in Cider. http://www.jessedirtybeer.com/
I've spent last few days listening to 2112 album by Rush, noting more and more influences it gave to one of my family favorite Polish band Lady Pank. Is "Fabryka Małp" (Factory of Apes) with pretty cool (at least in original) lyrics: My throat is burning, I'm losing my breath I kill them in a vicious fight I woke up, and now I know where I am Retreat for wild animals So vicious, so cunning That even God will not help them Ready to fight, no matter the cost of purpose Surrounded by landscape of total war "Kill or be killed" it's the only sport Kinda wish I could translate it better. I was more focused on delivering the meaning over professional lyrics. Someones' hand grabs me and tightens grip Factory of apes, factory of dogs Millions of heads and paws armed with claws
