devyn changed the topic of #elliottcable to: what is this even
<nuck> hmm I'll have to look them up
<nuck> Love Shugo Tokumaru
<devyn> good playlist
<whitequark> and for once, it's something really cute
<devyn> APL
<devyn> lol whitequark
<purr> lol
<whitequark> well I mean, people on the 'net usually exclaim "japan" when they have something truly disgusting
<whitequark> and that's unjust :(
<devyn> not always
<devyn> sometimes it's not disgusting
<devyn> just weird
<whitequark> it still should be "that weird part of Tokyo" instead of "Japan"
<devyn> haha which weird part of Tokyo
<devyn> Tokyo has lots of weird parts
<whitequark> it's a figure of speech
<devyn> but yes
<devyn> Japan is quite different from its image in the West
<devyn> and frankly I just like things that smash cultures together
<whitequark> isn't it, in reality, mostly very rural and very boring?
<devyn> joelteon: haha yeah people have done a few of those. really nice
<whitequark> joelteon: I've seen that guy's thread on reddit
<devyn> whitequark: I wouldn't say that; there are plenty of gigantic cities other than Tokyo
<whitequark> to this day I do not understand what purposes can it serve except showing off at reddit
<devyn> and agriculturally I don't think Japan actually produces a lot; there isn't much land
<whitequark> I mean, you'd get tired of masturbating to it the second week
<devyn> whitequark: well it's pretty... he can show it off when he has people over. especially non-geeks. "this is my PC"
<joelteon> it's very pretty
<joelteon> i'd build one if i knew how
<joelteon> i like pretty stuff
<devyn> it also makes it a bit easier to set up the watercooling, I'd imagine
<Willox> I used to have that desktop background
<whitequark> joelteon: it's not hard. he made an elaborate description of the process, tineye it.
<joelteon> i can't find any pictures big enough to be my wallpaper
<devyn> he didn't spend nearly enough money on the monitors though. those bezels are fucking gigantic
<Willox> joelteon, nor can I
<whitequark> it's really something that a layman with some inexpensive tools, a bit of time and dedication can easily achieve
<Willox> I have to go with an image duplicated twice
<devyn> I have LG monitors that have really thin borders and no bezels
<Willox> There ARE imaged large enough, but they're bad
<joelteon> i found a decent one
<joelteon> it's been my wallpaper for like six months
<whitequark> this http://darkhalo.deviantart.com/art/ingress-folly-216729 has been my wallpaper for... as long as I can remember
<whitequark> five years? something like that
<whitequark> actually, I think it's seven
<Willox> I cycle through 2k images of various landscapes
yorick has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<whitequark> oh and I got it from http://everwake.org
<whitequark> I just randomly typed the song (with which I've been somewhat obsessed at time) title as the URL dot org, and voila
<whitequark> then it was another quest to find the hi-res source. really was a sequence of rather unlikely events.
<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
<whitequark> I still think it's beautiful though
<devyn> ugh I'm trying to download humbert humbert stuff from what.cd but no one is seeding :/
<devyn> really unfortunate because it's so damn good
<devyn> lol what is this, russian soundcloud?
<purr> lol
<devyn> wow I like this though
<whitequark> yeah. has a bonus point of no subscription requirement :p
<whitequark> and you can download anything you like right away
<devyn> ahhh that voice
<whitequark> yes.
<devyn> ^_^
<Willox> I use grooveshark
<whitequark> it's quite unique to Anathema though. I think it's the only song in such style they have.
<whitequark> I apparently have a penchant for finding such songs.
<devyn> well, I downloaded it
<devyn> AAAAH PEOPLE ARE FINALLY SEEDING
<devyn> ^______^
<whitequark> or even... http://pleer.com/tracks/515822PbA6
<whitequark> in russian!
<whitequark> but, please, oh please, don't ever ask me to translate Пикник's lyrics
<devyn> lol
<purr> lol
<devyn> but I like seeing you suffer
<whitequark> the guy has a great skill for writing text that is almost not complete gibberish
<whitequark> so it basically invokes quite a lot of connotations (dozens!), neither of which can be easily conveyed by written word
<whitequark> honestly it causes my brain to lock up even when I think about it in russian
<devyn> heh
<whitequark> really great skill, right next to Lewis Carroll
<whitequark> ugh
<devyn> whitequark: oh you linked the same thing twice
<whitequark> oh
<whitequark> second link should've been http://pleer.com/tracks/4428823fXxd
<devyn> is that literally Picnic, or not?
<whitequark> it is
<whitequark> I think it's basically chosen by fair dice roll as well
<devyn> heh
<whitequark> ok, I'll translate http://pleer.com/tracks/3697579Wuug for you, just so you'd get a touch of it
<whitequark> google translate chokes on it in hilarious ways
<whitequark> although I'm also going to choke on it in no less hilarious ways
<devyn> "У Шамана Три Руки" is great
* whitequark nods
<whitequark> it is imo the greatest their song, the lyrics also weirdly make perfect sense
<whitequark> well, perfect sense for Пикник
<whitequark> I'll probably start with that
<devyn> if you really want to
<devyn> translation can be fun
<whitequark> it won't mostly have the required rhytm, I'm, by far, not good enough with english
<whitequark> nevermind it's probably simply not possible to translate them while preserving both the rhytm and (lack of) meaning
<devyn> doing that is really really hard in any language and generally requires changing the meaning a little
<whitequark> but the problem is, there's no meaning you can discern!
<devyn> haha
<whitequark> so you could as well write a different song altogether
<devyn> wow humbert humbert sounds great live
<devyn> wow that's pretty metal
<whitequark> now the next one... kmp
<whitequark> I really wish I was high on something right now, because it's just the sort of thing you do while absurdly high
<devyn> haha
<whitequark> and I honestly don't know how the fuck he comes up with that
<whitequark> I've tried to carefully keep the uncoordinated sentences from the original lyrics
<whitequark> It is not exactly trivial
<devyn> huh
<devyn> wild noon brewed as wine
<whitequark> yes, that's one of parts I could preserve better
<whitequark> it sounds just as good in english as in russian
<whitequark> well, almost
<whitequark> hmm I kinda want another one
<whitequark> "Inquisitor"

<whitequark> now *that* is metal
<whitequark> emphasis on "too" on l.8
<whitequark> moar?
<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.
<whitequark> A story of a rebellious teenage spirit crushed by merciless public education system. :)
<whitequark> really like that last one: http://pleer.com/tracks/4423419ojca
<whitequark> devyn: ^
<whitequark> actually, not crushed
<whitequark> I actually think he burned his school instead
<whitequark> it's a very very nice song
<whitequark> there's also the one titled "To drink electricity", which pretty much sums the content
<whitequark> but not the weirdness of it
<whitequark> *yaaaaaawn*

<devyn> 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
<nuck> haha
<devyn> still pretty good
<nuck> J-country
<nuck> that's a new one
<devyn> heh
gkatsev has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<devyn> kinda more shugo-like
<nuck> >can't be played because the file is corrupt
<devyn> huh?
<nuck> das what Firefucks says
<devyn> weird, just tested that URL, Chrome plays it fine
<nuck> huh
<nuck> heh this is nice
