Adam Wiltzie has announced that there will be another 'A Winged Victory For The Sullen' release later this year. http://www.culturecritic.co.uk/blog/the-life-of-an-ambient-composer-is-always-dark-stars-of-the-lid/ And Matthew Cooper (Eluvium) has a new double-album out in May that is basically the recordings that were going to be the last Eluvium LP before getting frustrated and churning out Similes instead. http://drownedinsound.com/news/4146071-dis-premiere--don-t-get-any-closer-by-eluvium

Assume the answer is no, as its natural that no one would bother posting that they hadn't received it.

hoppah burpday reils

d'aww you guise.... :heart: :heart:

Haha, I sent her a PM yesterday saying exactly this (well, not that I'm bored of you, but that you're probably tired of listening to the same indulgent ambient schmeer time and again).

It's a giant bowl of ice cream and cheesecake for me. Listening for the 4th time as I type.

I see.

Is that a hipster triangle on the thread title?

US international Robbie Rogers announces he's both gay and leaving soccer at the age of 25. No one can seem to understand the implied connection. More here: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/02/15/former-crew-mf-rogers-says-hes-gay-leaving-soccer

Not what I meant. Of course the setting and theme is completely diffferent. But as far as I've heard it's another violent movie based around a revenge motif. I respect Tarrantino, but this has gotten a bit old for me, and I don't want to sit through another film that is affectively the same.

well...

3-2 Madrid for me. 1-1 in the Dortmund match.

Pretty much sums it up. Celtic surely should've squirted one through by pure chance, but despite Celtic's success in the midfield, I can only attribute the final score to a difference in individual quality. Juventus sat back, dared Celtic to come up with a finish from all their crosses and long shots, but it just wasn't there, especially without Samaras. Meanwhile the Celtic centerbacks were prone to amateur mistakes (the 1st goal evidence of that), and were just torn up at the end. In hindsight, the Juventus tactics seem sound. Had Celtic ever taken the lead, the Italian teeth probably would've come out. Thoughts on Ibra's reckless red card?

wat?

missed this. I don't. Yeah, the word was 'tool'. I did post a quote, and like you, I also responded to one someone else posted. Believe me, I took my time.

You just described the opposite of what I had watched. But I'll keep an open mind, whatcha got? O wow, I'm so sorry. I should've checked an anonymous post on wikianswers before I judge someone. That really doesn't justify it, but okay. I'm considering it, and still believe he is a 40 year old adult male who thinks that being a musician since 1988 justifies a childish tantrum at a festival for no reason other than the fact that, for music festivals to work, each act has time limits. CALM. THE FUCK. DOWN. Why do you think anyone would report you? Who do you think I or anyone else is trying to stop you from speaking your mind? Chill. Don't guess what I think. You don't know me, and I don't know you. A. What's PRP? B. Let's make it Radiohead, as you're assuming I really like said band. No, I would not agree. Yes, I would probably shrug it off. Remember what I said about making assumptions about people you don't know? Hello, my name is Chris. Nice to meet you. I grew up and went to school in east Tennessee. Just last summer I decided to travel and teach English in the Czech Republic. I've been here about 6 months now. You're right, that's not in the US. Gold star for you! :D *turns to audience and makes shrugging gesture* What? Wow. Just... Wow.

It's called talking with each other. It's fun, you should try it sometime.

naw, it's pretty darn big.

hells yes

yeah, no surprise there.

Last post, during your hole spiel, were you actually talking about this thread/people in this thread at all? Are you saying the hypocrites you described are not actually in this thread?

Sir, you've just stepped into the boggy mire of aesthetics which is anything but simple. The vast majority of critics will concede that no one experiences art in a vacuum, but nor is it completely random what we experience. Many artists create art with an intended response, and some artists are more successful at this than others. If my intention is to create a Mozart style concerto, but my end composition is just me sitting down on a piano, most would say I have failed. - - - - - The way you feel music decides which songs are bad or good. Thanks to the critics now people have the tendency to believe the idea that there's good and bad music when in reality no song in history is bad/good (objectively speaking). I don't know what the first sentence means, but yeah, I really don't think complete objectivity is really important here. It's human to react differently to songs that may objectively be almost indistinguishable. There's no mathematical equation you can apply, but what you said regarding LMFAO and Will.I.am was exactly my point, there's no problem with speaking about successful and unsuccessful songs. You could even refer to the ethical effect music has on human behavior as another type of yardstick. Some art is more skillful or original than others within the current musical backdrop. Of course there are tons of variables involved in the conversation regarding artistic intent blah blah blah, but I think it is a conversation worth having, and its why reading musical reviews is a meaningful experience for me. I'm not frustrated, nor do I take most reviews that seriously, nor do I think critics are stating anything other than their opinions (or that most claim to state anything beyond it), but certain opinions feel more insightful or valid others based on how they correspond with ones own experience with a musician or album. Often you agree or disagree, and often critics articulate or describe what you experience more accurately than you ever could (as in poetry). Reviews are generally (or ought to be) written by individuals, not companies. And if you want an answer, I'm sure they're described in the reviews.

Sorry, if I was verging on rude. But it is partly frustrating to still not know which 'hypocrites' you were indicating while you were talking. I felt obliged to defend this unknown enemy when you pulled the word out. *Hands in the air* I misread you first time around. Had someone claimed immunity to criticism because they were just stating their opinion, they would indeed be a hypocrite. What threw me off is the fact that this didn't actually happen.

LOL (not an evil laugh, just a haha). Please don't think the only reason I would take time to write a detailed reply to someone is because I hate their guts. Believe it or not, some people (yes, me) are actually interested in these things and enjoy talking about them. This isn't a competition, I'm not trying to hurt you. I simply believe that truth is a valuable thing, and the most effective way of reaching it is by sharing ideas and pointing out inconsistencies. You see, this makes me sad. I want to know for my sake how I broke the rules of common discourse. The worst thing you can probably say to anyone is, 'you're wrong, and I refuse to tell you why. ' That just doesn't solve anything. What bickering? Did I call you names? We're talking like adults. At school we do this for fun. I will voluntarily send you a webcam video of me at this moment if it will convince you that I am in a particularly light mood this evening. Did I say you don't? *looks back* Oh, sorry, I was unclear. I was responding to the 'but all I ever see are these arguments' part.
