@fillow , the work you do is fucking PRICELESS.
I just.watched two of your multicams, and, good god.
THANK YOU.
@october_midnight - credit where credit is due. Any time I see a thread has been bumped about a movie or an artist (The Cure, etc), every post is always about new exciting news and never a bump for the sake of a bump. That’s why I get excited whenever I see your username has bumped a thread I’m interested in.
@elevenism I hear it's your birthday, ya big galoot! Have a good'n.
Happy Birthday @elevenism !
hb
Happy birthday again @elevenism ya weirdo, you're about the only one here whose I remember — count yourself blessed!
@burnmotherfucker! , I miss our lengthy, intelligent conversations.
I sometimes wonder if you're secretly someone I know irl, or someone I used to talk to online, (as you won't even tell me your NAME, even after thousands and thousands of words exchanged, but whatever the case, Alowishus works.
My tablet is broken, but man, message me, man. We can have palaver on the desktop.
@botley
You’ve helped me find some music that I really needed and was looking for. I appreciate it.
Especially because, back in the day in the long long ago, I was a complete dick to you. I was a complete dick to a lot of people. I’d gone through something really traumatic and fucked up in my personal life, and I was venting, a lot of the time after drinking. It’s not a good look and I regret it.
So anyway, sorry/thanks
That's nice to hear. Life can be horrendous but music is still our friend. I was a dick to you too, back in the day, and have no excuse for it other than youthful arrogance... I'm also sorry, but I'm really glad you're still here buddy
Keep creating good shit and putting it out there, it's obviously what you've been put here on this miserable shithole godforsaken planet to do!
The Farts <3
<3 to all people who are just reliable in general.
WAIT wait wait. Ok, so this is a VERY late reaction, but...whatchu know about Deep Ellum?
I grew up kicking it there, living there, and playing shows, there, in that order.
I lived in that loft spot where you drive up to park, right across from Mama Mia, near The Deep End (the.owner of that shop lived there, too), right down from Frazini's, close to.that one Cafe Brazil.
Our spot was literally above Poor Bill's, who was the dude from the Harlem Globetrotters, who.had opened a Fish Fry joint. All of my piercings have SOMETHING to do with my homeboy Jeremiah, at Ace In The Hole.
Years before that, it was nonstop Old 97s, Slobberbone, Foamy, 1100 Springs, Sorta, Calways, Funland, Dooms UK, and, ALSO like, Rasputina, Breeders, Type O Negative, Venetian Snares, Blackalicious, Squarepusher, Lemonheads, Legendary Roots Crew, Tricky, Kosheen, etc, and, of course,.Spectre 45, and, well, Itself- good.old.eleveno- as.Acolyte, as my gvmnt name, and as 1/2 of JLYI, etc...
Did we already have this conversation?/
Edit: where is @burnmotherfucker!

@sweeterthan
I never formally threw a 'thank you' out there for reaching out to me a while back. I didn't really say anything specific on this board or on social media or whatever, but I was really sick and it was a hard time. I almost died, and was hospitalized twice. The last time was really bad... easily one of the most excruciating things I've been through. It sucks when your internal organs all decide to fail on you.
Anyway, it just occurred to me that it's been almost a year since I last got out of the hospital after that close brush with death. It was an intense time, but over the past year I've rebounded and recovered from the fucked up state I was in.
But yeah, @sweeterthan, you're awesome. I am still not sure entirely what I said on the board that raised a flag, but I'm glad you reached out to me. It really helped out to have someone to talk to... especially since, outside of my immediate close family, and a couple close friends, nobody knew what I was going through. I kept it really private, especially when I was convinced I was about to die. I also might have, uh, vented some existential frustration on this board in a pissed off way, so, yeah, sorry if I snapped at anyone or said stuff that was bleak and in bad taste.
I feel as close to healthy as I've felt in what feels like forever, I'm productive, working on music, getting paid work again doing the stuff I like to do... I'm actually half way through tracking/recording an ambitious album, and there's no way I could have pulled that off in the state I was in. I don't want to jinx things, but outside of politics in this country being a miserable cloud that seems to hang over everything in my universe, I'm in a happy state. Coming close to dying makes you appreciate the things you have (especially when it happens twice in a row), and while it sounds like a small thing, it's good to be reminded that there's compassionate people out there in the world who really just are invested in helping others and making the world a little less shitty.
Thanks.

whoa @Jinsai - glad you're feeling better now! i'm sure that must've been really scary for you.
So, uh, yeah, as a helpful note to people... if you feel sick, and then notice that you have no appetite, and then you go five days or so at a time without eating until you finally have to force yourself to eat, you are sick and you need to go to the hospital... because if you put it off or just wait to get better, you're going to get worse from malnutrition, and then you additionally get neurologically fucked. When I was finally checking myself into the hospital, I couldn't stand
Was awful. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
But thank you @ickyvicky, you get a luvlisting too

Ok… I’m right now in a recording studio, so I’m paying by the hour, but I’m taking a moment out, right fucking now, to make a shout out.
I was here, and we came up with the idea to resample something from our first record. Like, randomly, and suddenly realized it would completely make the song… but how the fuck do we get a copy of our first Jinsai record from 2004? We’re an hour and a half away from home… Guess who has a copy?
@poinoup fucking rules. I want to throw you a parade. I have to get back to work, but I would be remiss if I didn’t jump up right now and declare you THE coolest motherfucker who ever was. You’ve made our album better.
Happy late birthday @Leviathant and myself for the 29th! Libra season.
