I don't frequent the betting sites, so anybody know the odds on Antifa's girlfriend being Canadian? (yeah I can't be the first to ask..)

Word is it's World Octopus Day

A pair of black coiled audio cables, each with a contact mic attached - one with a handful of short lengths of guitar string attached, one with a spiral of flexible wire soldered to the bottom

They are sitting on top of a blue tabletop with a pattern of white octopi on it

Nah Null is just apparently a big Vanessa Williams fan, and he just kept pulling albums of hers out of the bins and holding them up shouting VAAAAAAAANESSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! in a sorta death metal growl

Dunno, but once many years ago while record shopping with KK Null, he pronounced it with approximately forty seven A's

Apparently the Swiftie/Gerogerigegege crossover is smaller than one would think

ALL YOU NEED IS AN AUDIO SHOCK

text black text on a white background, except for two instances of the name GERO 30 that appear in red. the text reads:

You need to listen to it once completely through while driving a car alone. Then you have to listen to it indoors lying down. THEN you pick a few and listen to them WHILE you read the lyrics on your computer. You WILL find that you misheard some of the lyrics. DONT panic. Its COMPLETELY normal and healthy. DONT think about GERO 30s life yet and DONT try to make sense of the lyrics and DONT panic if you dont like some of the songs at first be your brain will LEARN to like them (evolutionary mechanism). THEN, continue listening on loop as needed but have 2-3 that you sometimes just listen to on repeat. THEN re-emerge into the world and connect with others about their response to the text. THEN apply practically to your life. THEN examine how they fit into GERO 30s At this point you can start to lightly engage in online discourse if that feels healthy and safe.

sorry but your inability to judge a person's age by their looks isn't a sign of their evil, and youth and beauty aren't a sign of good. it's their actions that are the sign of their evil, not physical appearance. thinking otherwise is just childish perpetuation of shitty stereotypes

also saw them 20 years later, Wayne making a sad attempt to get the audience to toss an oversized beach ball around heat-steaming asphalt parking lot while playing that jelly song on a miserable August afternoon so...

first heard them opening for Butthole Surfers in 91. Their bassist on stage in a wheelchair, recently broken leg in a full length cast and turned to face his amps. Three songs, each a minute of lyrics and ten of pure fuzz, bassist rolling with his good leg modulating endless waves of feedback

Seth Cooke | Every Contact Leaves a Trace @sethcooke.bsky.social · 7d

When you're young, you love the Flaming Lips. Then you go through a dip. Then you get older still, and you really come to appreciate that there's a band fixated upon death, obsession, mental illness and cosmic horror that you can all enjoy together as a family, singing along with your children.

I might have even given in and let 'em upsell me some batteries I didn't need if there was still a rat shack near me where I could buy a handful of 470k resistors this morning
