Love Shugo Tokumaru
00:07
<
devyn >
good playlist
00:29
<
whitequark >
and for once, it's something really cute
00:29
<
devyn >
lol whitequark
00:30
<
whitequark >
well I mean, people on the 'net usually exclaim "japan" when they have something truly disgusting
00:30
<
whitequark >
and that's unjust :(
00:30
<
devyn >
sometimes it's not disgusting
00:31
<
whitequark >
it still should be "that weird part of Tokyo" instead of "Japan"
00:31
<
devyn >
haha which weird part of Tokyo
00:31
<
devyn >
Tokyo has lots of weird parts
00:31
<
whitequark >
it's a figure of speech
00:32
<
devyn >
Japan is quite different from its image in the West
00:32
<
devyn >
and frankly I just like things that smash cultures together
00:33
<
whitequark >
isn't it, in reality, mostly very rural and very boring?
00:33
<
devyn >
joelteon: haha yeah people have done a few of those. really nice
00:33
<
whitequark >
joelteon: I've seen that guy's thread on reddit
00:33
<
devyn >
whitequark: I wouldn't say that; there are plenty of gigantic cities other than Tokyo
00:34
<
whitequark >
to this day I do not understand what purposes can it serve except showing off at reddit
00:34
<
devyn >
and agriculturally I don't think Japan actually produces a lot; there isn't much land
00:34
<
whitequark >
I mean, you'd get tired of masturbating to it the second week
00:35
<
devyn >
whitequark: well it's pretty... he can show it off when he has people over. especially non-geeks. "this is my PC"
00:35
<
joelteon >
it's very pretty
00:35
<
joelteon >
i'd build one if i knew how
00:35
<
joelteon >
i like pretty stuff
00:35
<
devyn >
it also makes it a bit easier to set up the watercooling, I'd imagine
00:35
<
Willox >
I used to have that desktop background
00:35
<
whitequark >
joelteon: it's not hard. he made an elaborate description of the process, tineye it.
00:36
<
joelteon >
i can't find any pictures big enough to be my wallpaper
00:36
<
devyn >
he didn't spend nearly enough money on the monitors though. those bezels are fucking gigantic
00:36
<
Willox >
joelteon, nor can I
00:36
<
whitequark >
it's really something that a layman with some inexpensive tools, a bit of time and dedication can easily achieve
00:36
<
Willox >
I have to go with an image duplicated twice
00:36
<
devyn >
I have LG monitors that have really thin borders and no bezels
00:36
<
Willox >
There ARE imaged large enough, but they're bad
00:37
<
joelteon >
i found a decent one
00:37
<
joelteon >
it's been my wallpaper for like six months
00:38
<
whitequark >
five years? something like that
00:38
<
whitequark >
actually, I think it's seven
00:38
<
Willox >
I cycle through 2k images of various landscapes
00:38

I just randomly typed the song (with which I've been somewhat obsessed at time) title as the URL dot org, and voila
00:41
<
whitequark >
then it was another quest to find the hi-res source. really was a sequence of rather unlikely events.
00:41
<
whitequark >
I'm so used to it I don't even recognize it as my wallpaper anymore, rather, I almost see a negative image of it on any other wallpaper
00:41
<
whitequark >
I still think it's beautiful though
00:42
<
devyn >
ugh I'm trying to download humbert humbert stuff from what.cd but no one is seeding :/
00:42
<
devyn >
really unfortunate because it's so damn good
00:43
<
devyn >
lol what is this, russian soundcloud?
00:43
<
devyn >
wow I like this though
00:43
<
whitequark >
yeah. has a bonus point of no subscription requirement :p
00:43
<
whitequark >
and you can download anything you like right away
00:44
<
devyn >
ahhh that voice
00:44
<
Willox >
I use grooveshark
00:44
<
whitequark >
it's quite unique to Anathema though. I think it's the only song in such style they have.
00:45
<
whitequark >
I apparently have a penchant for finding such songs.
00:45
<
devyn >
well, I downloaded it
00:46
<
devyn >
AAAAH PEOPLE ARE FINALLY SEEDING
00:48
<
whitequark >
in russian!
00:49
<
whitequark >
but, please, oh please, don't ever ask me to translate Пикник's lyrics
00:49
<
devyn >
but I like seeing you suffer
00:49
<
whitequark >
the guy has a great skill for writing text that is almost not complete gibberish
00:49
<
whitequark >
so it basically invokes quite a lot of connotations (dozens!), neither of which can be easily conveyed by written word
00:50
<
whitequark >
honestly it causes my brain to lock up even when I think about it in russian
00:50
<
whitequark >
really great skill, right next to Lewis Carroll
00:51
<
devyn >
whitequark: oh you linked the same thing twice
00:52
<
devyn >
is that literally Picnic, or not?
00:52
<
whitequark >
I think it's basically chosen by fair dice roll as well
00:53
<
whitequark >
google translate chokes on it in hilarious ways
00:54
<
whitequark >
although I'm also going to choke on it in no less hilarious ways
00:54
<
devyn >
"У Шамана Три Руки" is great
00:55
<
whitequark >
it is imo the greatest their song, the lyrics also weirdly make perfect sense
00:55
<
whitequark >
well, perfect sense for Пикник
00:55
<
whitequark >
I'll probably start with that
00:55
<
devyn >
if you really want to
00:55
<
devyn >
translation can be fun
00:56
<
whitequark >
it won't mostly have the required rhytm, I'm, by far, not good enough with english
00:56
<
whitequark >
nevermind it's probably simply not possible to translate them while preserving both the rhytm and (lack of) meaning
00:57
<
devyn >
doing that is really really hard in any language and generally requires changing the meaning a little
00:57
<
whitequark >
but the problem is, there's no meaning you can discern!
00:57
<
whitequark >
so you could as well write a different song altogether
01:00
<
devyn >
wow humbert humbert sounds great live
01:01
<
devyn >
wow that's pretty metal
01:02
<
whitequark >
now the next one... kmp
01:03
<
whitequark >
I really wish I was high on something right now, because it's just the sort of thing you do while absurdly high
01:03
<
whitequark >
and I honestly don't know how the fuck he comes up with that
01:11
<
whitequark >
I've tried to carefully keep the uncoordinated sentences from the original lyrics
01:11
<
whitequark >
It is not exactly trivial
01:12
<
devyn >
wild noon brewed as wine
01:13
<
whitequark >
yes, that's one of parts I could preserve better
01:13
<
whitequark >
it sounds just as good in english as in russian
01:13
<
whitequark >
well, almost
01:14
<
whitequark >
hmm I kinda want another one
01:14
<
whitequark >
"Inquisitor"
01:16

now
*that* is metal
01:25
<
whitequark >
emphasis on "too" on l.8
01:31
<
whitequark >
I have several more I kinda like... a sad war story. A commentary on modern mindless life. Some really weird metaphorical description of masturbation while stealing or something.
01:32
<
whitequark >
A story of a rebellious teenage spirit crushed by merciless public education system. :)
01:32
<
whitequark >
devyn: ^
01:33
<
whitequark >
actually, not crushed
01:33
<
whitequark >
I actually think he burned his school instead
01:34
<
whitequark >
it's a very very nice song
01:37
<
whitequark >
there's also the one titled "To drink electricity", which pretty much sums the content
01:37
<
whitequark >
but not the weirdness of it
01:48
<
whitequark >

nuck: they had me excited at first but idk, humbert humbert isn't quite like shugo or tenniscoats... it's mostly just guitar, fiddle, and harmonica. I'd really call it "country" more than anything else
04:26
<
devyn >
still pretty good
04:26

that's a new one
