I was in Canada 18 - 28 september this year. It was so amazing!

Indeed, agreed! FAR too long! How have you been? I am good, just crazy busy at work! I wish you a great year! :)

Yesterday I listened to Stranger in Moscow for the first time and I totally fell in love with it. Thought you'd like to know that.

*raises glass* Here's hoping you'll have a nice new year's eve. :3

The Residents' "Commercial Album" is so great! Have you ever listened to Frank Zappa, by the way, along the lines of artist-who-are-unique?

I'm just dropping by to tell you I am the table.

Wait, I thought you liked Sigur Rós.

You have GOT to be kidding me. I really like him, but Dangerous seriously stinks in my opinion. :(( Overproduced, underachieved.

On other note: do you actually like MJ's album Dangerous? You can be frank.

I don't like your new profile picture. :I You should go back to that picture of you holding a zombie dildo.

Have you realised if Prince ends up the #1 of your list you'll have to leave your MJ is our top artist group?

What are the odds? I'm in a sgtrong Manowar vibe tonight and I see you've been listening to them as well. It wasn't until today I listened to Father in Portuguese. :D Their portuguese pronounciation is better than the french one, oddly.

Every AoL album is pretty good! I recommend We Are Him. It was the last AoL album (to date), and it was starting to edge closer to Swans-like rock. You can really tell he was itching to bring back the heavy stuff when you hear it. How I Loved You, too, is massively popular, and it's one of the best things Gira has ever done. Much softer and sweeter (by his standards!) than much of Gira's work. Those are definitely the two most realised Angels of Light albums, I'd say.

That's hardly merry.

How are you feeling tonight, Ry? :)

I bet it was incredible! Are the new songs sounding good?

The Seer is great!!! I think I'd still go for either SFTB or Children of God as my favourite Swans album, though! They will be so awesome live.

Fuck me while I shout "ALLAH!!", this Storm Corrosion album is great! o_o

You're only guy I know whose artists get less and less as time goes by. :D How are you?

Wow, you're going to see Swans! And Lady Gaga too, great.

I pre-ordered this brilliant edition about 3 months ago, but it hasn't arrived yet. Omg, I can't wait anymore. I even illegitimately downloaded audio-version and i can say without a doubt that Get All You Deserve will be my my favourite dvd ever. Btw, have you preordered new PT's cd/dvd?

yea man!! awesome!! see you there!

I'm pretty sure that was just at the beginning of the tour, so that would explain why the show was so short. The later shows were more like closer to 2 hours, with the same amount of songs played!

Did you see Swans not long after My Father Will was released? I think the sets grew in length as time went on. I think this tour is going to be much longer than one hour, since one of the songs they're planning to play is the title track of The Seer, which lasts for over thirty minutes!

Awesome!! I hope you enjoy it. I bet these Swans gigs will be some of the best. Apparently there's going to be some new songs played on this tour, too.

Yes! It's pretty brutal. I hope they do it live, or figure it into one of the songs they do somehow.

Ry / do you ever cry / and wonder why / then you wanna die? haha

I've seen them live four times! (Primavera Sound in Barcelona and I'll Be Your Mirror in London, as well as two Swans gigs.) My fifth is coming up soon. Loud is right! I wear earplugs every time I see them. The only gigs I can compare to when it comes to loudness is My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr.; the latter of which almost caused me permanent damage to my hearing -- I couldn't hear for a week! Scary. Anyway, yes, the album is a bit bloated and indulgent, but the more I hear it, the more I enjoy it. This album was clearly a lot more organic than the previous one, so perhaps this album will have a lot more staying power than My Father Will had. 93 Ave. B Blues is a must-hear! One of the most terrifying things I have ever heard: it's every bit as primal as very early Swans.

I wasn't overly impressed with it at first, but it seems to be growing on me a lot! Mother of the World and The Wolf (and possibly The Daughter Brings the Water) are the tracks that the album could have done without, in my opinion; and the title track is too long. Avatar and The Apostate are roaring experiences. It's definitely worth a listen!

Did you hire a cook? :P

Since when do you cook, honey bee? Heh.

Hmmm, I see. Not a fan of the pro-meat thing, though. :P

And what is the Epic Meal Time?

Explain this new avatar.

Girl of your dreams? Oh really?

Hahaha, dude, I'm Tim_19, I hope you remember me :)) But anyway, It's nice to hear that I'm the girl of your dream, lol

But I dooooo... :( *hugs* :)

Don't delete me from your friends list, Ry, I like you. :(

Who gave you the right to THINK SO?

Maybe he's not, but I'm sure his boyfriend is.

I think he might be a homosexual.

Perfume Genius? Never heard of that.

Hahaha. Have you listened to all of their solo stuff? Gilmour, Waters and Barrett?

Have you ever had the opportunity to see Gilmour?

So it makes sense, right? My observation. :) And how was The Wall Live? You've seen Roger Waters live before, right?

Bought The Final Cut today... Odd album, not Pink Floyd-ish at all in my opinion.

Zappa is a cool dude. ;)

Thanks man!! You are awesome!

How many Jandek albums did you buy already?

Was I perfect before this? *__* Awwww.
