I'm gonna leave some bm recs here that might interest you. Rouges Chapelle by chamber froide(the guy from Sainte Marie Des Loups), the new albums from Iron firmament and ebony pendant but all bands from the wergild collective are highly recommended, Misotheist from Norway have new album I have also liked and lastly maybe some crushing sludgy sludge? Checkout toadliquor's back in the hole.

Thank you my friend, likewise. Also love the pfp. People in marketing are the antichrist!

This nigga just straight up executing zombies with style now, like Frieza slaughtered the Saiyans. Yo kids got ahold of the spotifys.

Proper answer though is that 2025 have not ended for me, I have so much stuff in backlog and honestly one year simply not enough to rate stuff properly, dozens of listens and some months to let music marinate in your mind is required and I just don't have that much time in one calendar year for the amount of interesting art. abundance of information really is the curse of humankind, there is great game about this topic called 'metal gear solid sons of liberty'.

Nice! What albums have you enjoyed so far?

Crash by J.G. Ballard, it's awesome so far

3 Shades of Blue - Mile Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans and the Lost Empire of Cool by James Kaplan

History of western philosophy by Bertrand Russel

Always interested in the way you articulate literature, my friend. You give a unique perspective that helps me re-evaluate the material in question.

Thank you, my friend. I couldn't agree more about Astoria!!! There was no better time than skipping school a million years ago to scavenge the internet for CoF bootlegs, haha.

Yeah, those surely were the days. 😎 The old internet. Before big tech and governments. I hope you have a fantastic weekend waiting for you!

I found it in a small compilation called Louis XXX translated by the wonderful Stuart Kendall who also did a great biography of Bataille’s old pal Mishima. I’ll give you an example from the text, that you will probably be of great help with…”The Weak: There is no evil, everything is pure and science offers proof of this. The strong: Evil is the impossible, existing in the depths of things, that indirectly reveals vices, crimes, wars. Obliquely, consciousness of the impossible at the depth of things unites man. The girl and the boy are confounded in an unnamable discovery (crevices of filth). The human type is united in the memory of its crime: God translated into justice, condemned, put to death.”

Likewise, man! Thank you kindly and I hope all is well in your world.

When they hit 7+, introduce them to The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack , the most Bataillean cartoon grotesquerie ever vomited onto screens. Sugar-rotted delirium , Captain Knuckles toothless screams , and Bubbie the whale's candy-spewing blowhole like some nightmare parody of divine effluvia? That's not mere surrealism, it's the ecstatic squall of a sugar-drunk Dionysus, a carnival of sacred excess stitched together from sailor's spit and gutter glitter. The show's very animation sweats congealed sucrose and gnostic horror, each frame a soiled-puppet violation of innocence, smearing its saccharine heresy across childhood's last altar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nvDLSOrDe4

Thank you, sir. I too have had a few last.fm accounts. Got bored, deleted, rinse and repeat. I hope all is well in your world.

Before his music ever resonated with me (and dear lord, it does) I felt like I connected with his philosophy and approach to music to be that of a kindred spirit. "Fuck you, I do what I want, sometimes gently, sometimes violently."

Hey, good evening. No I am not. I took it from the name of an essay by the writer Georges Bataille.

Likewise, man! Let me know if you ever wanna start a Dying Fetus / Depeche mode cover band, haha.

lmao, great idea

Thank you. Likewise. Future and Young Thug is a great 1-2 combo to have and Whole Lotta Red is the catchiest goddamn album ever.

Thank you, my friend. Let me think about some recommendations and I will get back to you!

Hey, friend. I think you might like Skeletal Family, really dreary but catchy and often forgotten post-punk band. Also, if you dig lifeloverr style of BM, dreary and almost rock oriented, I think you would like Psychonaut 4, they're almost a more streamlined version of Lifelover imo.

Running the Light, by comedian Sam Tallent, and Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby are ones I read three-four years ago but stick out in memory because of this prompt. I have a ridiculous amount of unread books I bought on Apple.

I'm finally getting around to reading Infinite Jest this year

Thank you! Your charts are a great reminder that I need to dive further into Boards of Canadas' discography.

you will hear no complaints from me! sometimes it is the case that listening to a group's most acclaimed album front to back is the way to go, and for BoC, I would go so far as to say that Music Has The Right To Children is the perfect starting point! Really is a one of a kind listen :)

Thank you. I wish you all the best on life journey.

Not only that but disposable vape carts are atrocious for the environment, they can't break down. Never touched that or tobacco. A man must limit his vices to a necessary minimum and keep it moving in my humble opinion.

Thank you kindly. We have a new EP that is recorded and I am really proud of it but we have been sitting on it for a little bit. I think the drummer and guitarist who formed the band are discussing to release it as is, or turn it into a full-length. When it is eventually released, I will make sure to send you a free digital copy.

Hey, what’s up? It’s the female cenobite from Hellraiser II. I think those first 2 films are some great 80’s horror. The special effects I find oddly nauseating, without being too over the top.

Not sure where you live but this is the shirt I had been talking about on the CC page. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145534061015?chn=ps&var=444674940002&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1U_Isw8DIRiumWLgpSUKo4A42&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=444674940002_145534061015&targetid=1583904486362&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9067609&poi=&campaignid=19894961968&mkgroupid=148855406073&rlsatarget=pla-1583904486362&abcId=9307911&merchantid=663995540&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh8kM8FWD3ebMfKCLzCNoU4kE&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4bHhiPathgMV1TQIBR3r_QmJEAQYAiABEgIKDfD_BwE

I can not thank you enough for this. It's an overwhelming discography, I am going to get back at it, with these recommendations in mind. Extremely helpful.

Oh, man. While I’ve been binging his discography, I have said the same fucking thing in my head a hundred times, haha. Great username, as good an excuse as any, to put it on.

Man, I love stuff like that. There’s nothing like sharing new bands with people and getting involved. Just from being in bands, I’ve gotten to know the owner of the label Blut Aus Nord is signed to and he says the main guy behind BaN is super nice but private. He said he’d only met him like twice in over a decade of working together. Hes a genius imo.

Thank you kindly for these recommendations, I am going to be looking into them this week. The titles for Ascension and Sun Ship grab my attention immediately, for one reason or another. BaN is probably tied with King Crimson and Swans as my favorite band. Each album feels like a unique world to get lost in. Edge of Sanity on the other hand, I was really late to the party on, I love how they will randomly have a song or two that sounds like an extremely gloomy Killing Joke or other post-punk band, it throws me for a loop every time, love it.
