War Room Lounge V36: Liquor in the rear, too

[Fedorable]

I still have to eat my greens for the day along with my fruits.

not that I mind them, but I am not hungry even though I lifted.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

As a DEP fanboy, without Googling, I immediately realize you are affiliated with Relapse Records circa early 2000s

EDIT: oh silly me, I see you dropped the Relapse link (my phone is on dark)

They were a great fuckin' band. Especially live. There was always tensions though because they blew up quick and a major tried to take them away without adequate compensation. They wanted to go (to be treated more lavishly than we could), but we insisted they fulfill the rest of the deal. Ben (who I'm sure remembers me and would say bad things) is a bit of an oppositional kinda guy. Talking to the manager one night, he basically said in not so many words that the cover to Miss Machine was a troll job. In spite of the negativity, I loved Ire Works.

To that band's credit they went out there every show and gave it their all. Much to the physical detriment of the band. Those dudes were always injuring each other or themselves.

Well now you know I don’t go to Skrewdriver shows

You might, rabbit, you might.

Had a buddy in HS who dabbled as a skinhead. Not my kinda subject-matter, but they had some catchy stuff. Dude grew out of it. One time with him and my Mexican buddy we were hanging out after work drinking. Mexican homie asks skinhead buddy why he hates him. Skinhead buddy's starts it off with "Well, you're alright, but..." and I'm all . People are funny.

Veggies are good. They are easy to mix in with any meal too so idk why people struggle to get them into their diet. Plus, they are super cheap if you go frozen over fresh.

Well, if it's complimentary toward you, it's not funny.

No one wants a friend to have a cool nickname like T-Bone or Tiger. They want their friends to have nicknames like Butt Chug and Splooge.

Thai Knee Dong is perfect because it's both topical (MMA-related) and it sounds like small weiner when you say it out loud.

Well like I said, that wasn't bad. I'm thinking of the previous time (don't remember what it was, but it was harsh like an over-heated pipe). I guess you're still finding your voice. Fair enough. You don't know what works until you try it. @AgonyandIrony would no doubt err on the side of incaution.

But if there is, in fact, something that sticks in your craw, I welcome you to address it with me via PM.

Thai Knee Dong confirmed.

I can't think of anything that could be construed as hostile other than the name suggestions, all of which I 100% genuinely wanted you to adopt. If you make or cosign an objectionable line of argument, I'll call it out, but I do that for everyone.

Could be just me being over-sensitive.
I'm in a bit of a state lately. I don't ever want to die, but recently I kind of want to not be alive. Makes for a pessimistic attitude.

Anyway, I'm ready to call it a night, no one need panic over the above, Just sayin', as it were.

That guy was nuts. Always a fun band. Don’t know how the guitarists managed to thrash around playing that technical crap.

So it’s true: you did listen to Skrewdriver.

incredible!

When it came time to negotiate a new deal or part ways we met at his place then hit a diner. His place was his parent's house because they were on the road constantly so no sense in "moving out". lol. Dude was committed to the cause. Ben took offense because I came in with an exit plan rather than a bouquet of rose and chocolates. The deluxe edition of Under the Running Board was all Cubo.

There's one time only I saw 'em get bested live. Pretty sure it was at the Ottobar in Baltimore. This band opened and just murdered it that night. This song in particular just smokes!!! If this don't get your head bobbing or toe tapping then we've got nothing to discuss.

So it’s true: you did listen to Skrewdriver.

Let's not confuse listening to it with hearing it.

Okay, sorry to hear you're not well, and I can certainly concede that I can be gruff. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you ever want to chat. I'm fairly certain that existential disenchantment is at an all-time high in the post-2016 "everyone is dumber, more hateful, and more selfish than I thought" world order.

So you must be “Jim Fear.”

 

[Trotsky]

Can you guys imagine the daily threads if there were any Democrats stupid enough to go on rants like "I know a lot about wind"?

Ben had no fear of me, but I did chap his ass at least on one occassion. When Ire Works came out they wanted this separate piece of print underneath the CD tray.

I'm all for including the lyrics, but they filled up the CD booklet with panels like this.

So when the manufacturing quote came in, between the print and insertion fees on like 100k units, that cute little idea was gonna cost 20k+. Normally we (the label) foot the bill on all print costs. But I'm like, that 20k covers a payroll. In my mind the band was pissing away our money so I told Ben to change his extravagant idea or it's gonna be recoupable against royalties. He agree to recoup it.

I save the email exchange. First royalty statement he tries to bitch about the deduction. I sent him the email and that was the last I ever heard from homie.

He should be happy he was getting paid for his music. It’s all free now. But he’s a musical genius, so of course he’s a pain in the ass.

The conor rape thread, yesssh.

Ben is the epitome of a saying we had. The artist kills the art. By that I mean that sometimes the personalities can lessen your appreciation for the music.

He wasn't the biggest pain in the ass. Some dudes just sucked. But there were plenty of really cool dudes to work with. Troy and Brann from Mastodon were sweethearts. John from Baroness. Scott and JR from Pig Destroyer. Dave Witte from a bunch of projects we worked with. Misery Index dudes were awesome. Pretty much all the Canadians. Love the High on Fire guys, including the bassists they kept replacing. This band from Australia called Alchemist were always appreciative.
