YEAAA congratulations! so happy for you both!!

this is derogatory for the stones and complimentary for acdc

these guys and the Stones both figured out that if you write music playable by 7 year olds then you can keep performing it until your replacement knees give out

Opeth - Blackwater Park on vinyl. The disc has a marbling pattern of black, grey and white with a bluish tint.

gorgeousss

Record player and stand with two vinyl albums in the foreground: Metallica - Kill 'em All, and Opeth - Blackwater Park

hmm really does seem like a controller issue, firmware bug or something, whether that's on the mb or separate 😞

i feel like with pwm (4-pin) fans, spinning up at post and then stopping until needed for cooling could be normal behavior? doesn't explain the lights though. do you have a temp gauge on the CPU? does it get higher than 60 C and they still don't kick back on?

any bulging or leaking caps on the motherboard?

the boomers got exactly one thing right about life (getting high and listening to records)

Vinyl album - Miles Davis, Kind of Blue with disc partially out of sleeve.

Vinyl album - John Coltrane - Stardust. The disc is clear with a slight iridescent lavender haze that the camera doesn't quite capture.

Vinyl album - The Tragically Hip - Road Apples. The apple-red disc is playing in my turntable because I couldn't wait to start listening. Fun fact, Road Apples is Canadian slang for frozen horse feces sometimes used as a puck in pickup hockey games.

Vinyl album - Joanna Newsom - Ys. The album is a full book with illustrated and beautifully formatted lyrics.

hell of a haul today

this dropped in 1997, musical prowess and political messaging have not married at such a high level before or since

lyric sheet for "Worms of the Senses" by Refused. Below the stylized image "The party program The party program The party program" etc. "I got a bone to pick with capitalism and a few to break. Grab us by the throat and shake the life away. Human life is not commodity, figures, statistics or make believe. And yeah I like eating excrement and not getting paid for it. Play the guilt, play the fear and play the anxiety. "Seduced by the opportunity and robbed of hope. Human suffering is not commodity, figures, statistics or make believe. Marginalise away the joy and sell us boredom. "And yeah I like working doing nothing and not making anything. Blame the poor, blame the uneducated and blame the sick."

Preach that fucking shit Dennis

IN THE PENULTIMATE MOVEMENT, "MARCH TO THE GALLOWS" WHICH BUILDS FROM EXUBERANT TO MANIC, REFLECTING THE CROWD'S ANTICIPATION OF AND GRATIFICATION BY THE MAIN CHARACTER'S EXECUTION, BERLIOZ INVENTS THE "SAD SONGS IN MAJOR KEY" GENRE IN 1830

*most serious aran has ever been voice* the conducting equivalent of "air guitar" is EXACTLY THE SAME as real conducting

tis the season for slathering petroleum jelly on my knuckles with a mini spatula because they are beyond the help of lotion

let's also ignore that a significant percentage of deaths in communist countries are caused by global capitalism

this is unhelpful and lazy commentary FYI. there's a term for it: "whataboutism"

it's employed by two types of people: paid operatives who want to encourage other people to do nothing, and bitter cynics who want to justify doing nothing themselves. which would you say you are?

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH (COMPLIMENTARY)

if this sounds trivializing, it's definitely not because I'm plagued by these same fears every day and projecting the words i refuse to hear for myself! lol, lmao

I'm not sure what kind of masculinity you want for yourself but "fuckable teddy bear, esq." is absolutely within easy reach, 5 years tops

Just tunnelling in on this: there is an elder gen X trans man in my extended family (also a writer in fact!) he transitioned about your age, is about your height and neither of those things make the slightest dent in his intense masculinity. T is a HELL of a drug

*inventing Bluetooth* Well, it works about 60% of the time. That’ll probably be good enough forever.
