@cd_hooks Idk it just feels evil to me. At least the LBJ library doesn’t loom

@ItsGutsNotGatsu @johnvvariety Not trying to be a grumpy old guy at all I swear lol

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@ItsGutsNotGatsu @johnvvariety Will def check these out

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@ItsGutsNotGatsu @johnvvariety There’s just so little creativity in modern “shoegaze,” to my mind. That first generation of bands was actively engaging with all sorts of other music that was around them at the time; now it’s sort of a requirement that you sound like 1991

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@ItsGutsNotGatsu @johnvvariety I completely agree. There used to be a ton of variety; Ride sounds nothing like MBV, neither of them sounded like Loop, etc. the last “shoegaze” album that really hit for me, as something original and interesting, was No Joy’s Wait to Pleasure

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety To be fair to Loveless though I was listening to Wipers yesterday and heard a guitar lick that Kevin Shields turned into a wave of noise for his own use on that album

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety I was probably guilty of calling Loveless the best ever or whatever when I was 20 but I have a bit more variety to my life now. Sometimes I drive a car, for example

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety @smokingsexxtion I’ve never done more than 20 and that’s super rare, in my experience 10 should do it if you don’t have a tolerance to it specifically

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety @smokingsexxtion It’s that wonder drug that makes you act like the people in Heart of Glass

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety @smokingsexxtion Lmao that is honestly pretty accurate

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety @smokingsexxtion Everybody’s different with stuff like this I think? Like for some reason anything that is related to mdma hits me about 3x faster and stronger than anyone else I know, and I don’t know why. I’d try a smaller dose if you’re still interested

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety @smokingsexxtion It is kind of a hard drug to find the right spot for. When you get it right tho it’s a pretty unique experience, feels similar to how people describe quaaludes

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety @smokingsexxtion What kinda mg are we talking? For me 10mg is where the magic happens. Any more than that and I’d be basically comatose

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety My proof is in two parts: one—Liars sounded hard as hell in the early aughts and two—NIN sounds good again in 2018 with Bad Witch

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety Fucking exactly nothing sounded hard at all after being pressed thru that shit, it’s just an angry rich man whining over some [admittedly] decent grooves.

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety That NIN song sucks so bad tho, completely neutered production that flattens everything into a smooth wafer of “industrial” music. No dynamic range whatsoever which feels very common for the era

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety TV on the Radio pretty much only sounded good during this period. Everyone else presumably was doing the opposite of what they were doing

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@johnvvariety There’s something about the production I can never shake, like it feels muffled or soft in an unintentional way. Lotta great songs but they sound sharper on Sticky Fingers. Swear I’m not trying to be contrarian

[R. Teeth Bones @geodes1cdoom]

@jakebrodes Constant rotation during my peak adderall years. Haven’t really listened to it since, not sure why
