its truly shitty, unnecessary suffering is always crap to hear, one thing about living in the UK we generally dont have natural disasters |

You hold the poop and give it in exchange for your trip to the afterlife |

Pyramidal suppositories? Mmm delicious |

it always felt like a skit that flying circus never got to: and now, today's deaths! then the telly is all "247 people died in italy," and two englishmen dressed as old women are like, "ohhh, that's not bad!" |

on a deeper level, i'm almost paranoid about caring at a distance for things of this sort. it feels like it just distracts me from the here and now. it distracts me from stuff i can actually do something about. it's horrible, yes, and if i spent ten minutes really stewing on it i'd probably work myself up to tears. that this is expected of me for every tragedy around the world is absurd. i'd be crying all day and nothing would be fixed. so i've become thick-skinned for reasons of self-protection. it is not about tuning out sadness so much as reserving it for the things i deem appropriate. i took this attitude consciously, and i found it really pissed people off at times. that i have almost zero reaction about some family of four killed by a drunk driver on the TV news at 6pm gets hair ladies upset. i'm supposed to join in this moment of pain for some people i didn't know, but if i did that i'd be drained and miserable real fast. so the hair ladies will just have to remain cross with my autistic behind |

i have come to view it all as a rippling feedback loop of emotional control. we're supposed to be sad about things, and if we aren't, we're either horrible monsters or need doctors to give us pills. people harass the bad monkeys who don't do as they're supposed to. over the years it's internalized, and pretty soon all it takes is a few sick puppies on the telly before you've maxed out your visa card to sketchy TV charities. no, no thanks. that's not me |
||||||||
|
|

anyways, in real life, i make myself scare when people are boo-hooing about strangers on the telly. it is suffocating. there are many reasons i don't keep a can of silly-string in my pocket, but one is that i would not be able to resist hosing the whole sit-down. cheer up! you're alive! you didn't know them! people you know are still alive! heck, they're right here! let's all go for a run! no, nope. not them. so i sit tight as all the robots throw sparks and try not to draw attention to the fact that i find the whole thing so automatic it genuinely frightens me to the point where i want to snap everyone out of it. since i can't do that, i rant on the internet, and there is a modicum of harmony |

if freqy reads the above and is like -- well, yes, i get it -- then that is a hell of a bonus. but, really, i'm just in this thread to earth my frustrations with society in a marginally constructive manner, and it works. |

those quake beds are amazing. not cheap i bet , a few grands. yeah, what if your in the living room and your partner is in bed ...does the bed get confused then? what if you jump in bed at that precise moment and lose your pencil? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your right if you get emotionally involved in every tragedy you hear in the news you would quickly go mad, i know i would |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not sure the bed is sentient, i think thats an additional extra |

if an earthquake happed while i was recording a track, my reaction would problably be: "wicked, i have to mash up the fader on the room mic immediately" and they'd find my corpse sheltering a minidisc recorder with a pretty good track out of it. 9/10 material but, misread of the day: quake beds? the textures in the first quake game. the purple i stole, adjusted slightly, for the official nevenen purple, #666699. you can go #222255 for accent, #BBBBDD to take it up a notch, and black font on top i should steal some of those textures too, they sound somewhere between clark and snares |
