fintroll and mayhem and let's not forget the D&D favorites, Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Dragonforce and Rhapsody.

hammerfall- hearts on fire (video made with the Swedish GOLD medal CURLING team. i'm sorry, the WOMEN's curling team. epic.)

rhapsody-unholy war cry (epic crane shots, a dark warlord, and Christopher Lee. yes, saruman.)

finntroll - trollhamaren (viking death metal. beards. accordians and bear skins. oh yeah, human bone instruments too)

Proletariat

yo dude, is your store in a random mall type of place with anime, pho pasture, i think around harvard square or something?

if it is, i walked in there during winter break. i was visiting my sister in cambridge. it was a pretty neat place, just didnt' have much time to look around. i remember seeing some shirts and i'm pretty sure they said proletariat. and had stenciled helicopters etc. on them.

hella asian parents can't stop you from doing what you love

i'm asian and i'm a junior in college majoring in art.

that thread is about duffel coats.

you're looking for one that doesn't have toggles?

hope that helps somewhat.

was a musician back in the day. was awful.

sybaritical-- battles man. booyah.

fixoid-- i like kenji kawaii's work on ghost in the shell the most. avalon was pretty decent.

does anyone know city of caterpillar? been really diggin malady of late, i enjoy it's differences from city of caterpillar.

anyone check out envy? my friend said they're going to drop a new album in japan this summer. also eastern youth is touring the west coast. if you're around in march, check'em out. wonderful heartfelt 'emotional' punk rock. those dudes have been around forever.

kenji kawaii? the soundtrack mastermind?

phil guston and lomo

nice.

i feel like i'm the only kid who loves king gheedorah the most.

something about kaiju monsters and old 'chinksploitation'/'japsploitation' dubbed movies.

i love that stuff.

none so much.

i agree with the metalcore band statement. i guess that's why i keep hearing this genre bleedover of "punk metal" and in some ways it's apt... but too often gets lumped in with 'metalcore'. yeah, i haven't been able to track down ruination/swarm/left for dead but perhaps sometime soon... we have a pretty good record store nearby and i just never give myself the time to check it all out.

the YYY album... i mean, there's definitely a pop aspect that they've always had. but the first record caught me because of the eccentricity. it seemed to be pop... yes, but it also threw itself with a kind of abandon. i mean there was a few misses here and there, but perhaps that's why the hits jsut hit so well-- it put itself out there and tried to make an album for the sense of fun, energy, and good spirit that all dance parties should have.

definitely love say hi to your mom. great name too i'll look for the others.

and i don't get/won't get tired of music.

had the honor of seeing kylesa with torsche annnd coliseum. i liked kylesa, though i missed some of their set and dont' have a CD. i'll have to give'em a more indepth listen. converge is an all-time favorite as well. i'm wearin a shirt from their jane doe tour right now.

also lovin the power-rock dance-pop-- Death from above 1979, the modey lemon (local), yeah yeah yeah's (new album is pretty awful though), whirlwind heat, battles, air guitar magazine (another local).

glad to see someone so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about music.

figured i'd bump one more time before i let this thread and request die.

if anyone in the NYC area is willing to pick me up a small dunderdon hoodie, i'd pretty much love you forever and be more than happy to reimburse you for your troubles etc.

lookin for that midnight olive color in the small emblem S18 hoodie although 'deep mint' and the blue look good too.

anyway, sorry to bother-- thanks for your time.

RedFoxxworth; SPK's awesome, always loved them. Great shit to throw on and let it just play in the background and fill up the room. Keep your eyes peeled for this early 80's compilation called The Elephant Table Album- SPK is on there along with other greats like Coil, Nurse With Wound, Portion Control, Lustmord, etc. Basically, everyone who was anyone back then worth listening to in that scene is on that comp.

Children of Bodom I used to hate the hell out of but then I saw Dustin Dollin (pro skater, for anyone who doesn't know and wants to) skate to one of their songs in Baker 3 (a skateboarding video) and I gave em a second chance. The synths get over the top, but I can deal with it... I'm only down with Hatebreeder and Are You Dead Yet?, the rest of their stuff is just too much keyboard masturbation. Early Man is aight, but after seeing em live I think of those two cats as just some hipster dudes cashing in on metal... I've got plenty of brutal shit to listen to before I give them a spin, but they're decent.

My contribution for "man" bands? Portugal.The Man- retarded name, but a great experimental pop group. Catchy, but still busting a few boundaries.

Always loved Killing Joke n' Godflesh. Justin Broadrick's a genius, Jesu is really worth

checking out, as minya mentioned. Really crushing stuff, swallows you whole.

And for something similar but actually kind of upbeat there's this band called Torche which

is your usual doom metal group, but they spin it in a psych-pop direction... so it's heavy and slow, but there's clean vocals and trippy guitar work.

minya = I can't really get into Six Organs of Admittance, for whatever reason. But hey, Ben Chasny from SOoA played on the upcoming Current 93 album that's out in May... first new material in a long while. And double hey, Ben's also a member of Comets on Fire, and I think they're phenomenal.

I've given up almost completely on American hip-hop. I grew up on it here in the Bronx and I mean, I lived and breathed hip-hop, mainstream and independent, from Bad Boy to the dude on my corner who had the sickest flows ever... but I seriously OD'd on it when i hit high school, and I just couldn't deal anymore.. I will always vouch for Three Six Mafia, though. And, honestly, Dipset may be 'ruining hip hop' as some people say, but you know what? HIP HOP NEEDS TO BE RUINED. Let em do it, Paris to Purple City was fucking great.

That said, I think grime is the most epic stuff ever. Not just Dizzee Rascal and Lady Sov and whatever, that's some real fire bursting up out of the UK. Anyone on here ever heard No Lay on the two Run the Road compilations? The sheer... force in her flow is more intense than death metal.

Man, I really rant when it comes to the tunes...

JEAH!!! We got some Supermusic� going good right now!!

I have the Elephant Table comp. It's great. That Lustmord track... haha with The Message sample!! Whoa. I need to dig for more of their stuff. A really really dope comp: So Young But So Cold.... on Tigersushi. "Cold Wave" from France, late 70's to early 80's. Basically really dark new wave, or "Elephant Table" with pop appeal. If you Soulseek, hit me up: RedFoxxworth.

I would understand your Early Man suspicions EXCEPT that those guys are actually super serious about their shit. Like they did nothing but eat, sleep, drink and play metal. I met one of them once through a mutual friend, really cool guy and my friend said they are nothing short of obsessed with metal. So I believe they are the real deal.

Thanks for the Jesu recommendation both of you, I will Solarseek that shit ASAP as well as the other recommendations.

I must digress about grime though. I really can't stand it! And I've heard Run the Road, etc. Maybe some day it will *click* with me but not yet.

stripped? as in stripped down? or striped? as in a pattern?

been really really into "punk metal" of late. the loud ones doin it for me

Cursed and Rise and Fall. got Rise and Fall's new album and i've listened to it practically every day. cursed was one of the best live shows i've ever seen. nearly blew my ears out WITH plugs in.

children of bodom are coming to my area-- one of those rare times a band comes let alone a band that shreds your face off like COB. hatebreeder is definitely the essential i think-- i've given the other CDs a listen but always end up just listening to hatebreeder.

jesu definitely makes me feel sludgey and like a swamp thing. my friend has been getting into a lot of doom and feeding me plenty of grimness on a daily basis.

anyone got some recommendations along the lines of cursed and rise and fall? i'm always thirstin for more music

yo if you want your stuff to match up-- make sure to set up some sort of registration system.

recently i did a 2 screen print all over a front and back of a shirt. sadly i didn't have enough acetates so i basically printed 6 times. pretty ridiculous.

i just rotated the shirt and set up tape (like a chalk outline of a dead body) in the areas i needed to place the shirt. then choreograph danced my shirt around the table and printed it 3 times, then flipped it, printed 3 more times, then washed out. well i actually washed out my screen a lot too so it just got really messy.

DUDE. i've been listening to wu-tang and explosions. ghostface just played here tonight but i ended up watching 50 cent's movie.

been listening to random hip hop (wu tang, majesticons, mf doom/king gheedorah) and instrumental ambient stuff (explosions in the sky, malady, funeral diner)

i'd be willing to pay shipping and extra, etc.

shit, those dunderdon's are wonderous.

except zoovillage.com doesn't ship to the US?

any other places i could get'em from?

Beaux Arts Ball-- the Centennial Celebration of the College of Fine Arts was tonight.

the theme was light and shadow.

i went as an optical illusion (Hermann's Grid/Scintillating grid?)

the registration's not perfect and some of the white dots bled from the multi hits-- but humor me. count the 'black dots' in the pattern.

i know there's a billion hoodie forums, but i'm still lookin for some sorta high neck hoodie--

examples i guess would be:

lululemon's female scuba hoodie (or even their 'jet jacket')

addict method zip hoodie

urban?

now comes the hard part. lookin for a fairly heavy hoodie, with a slim fit. the addict one is pretty heavy, but they fit big (small is 40 in. around?). the lululemon one is a nice lady fit, but i guess i have a bit of a stigma vs. the brand and all the little girls wearing it. and urban-- well it's unbranded, and it's not that i'm a brandname whore-- but if i'm paying $40 i want it to be decent quality-- not to fall apart-- i don't know the fit + i don't know how heavy/warm it is.

sorry for so much quips, if i'm paying $60+ for a hoodie, i want some quality behind it all.

show me what's around.

thanks, and sorry for bothering with such a repeated topic.

Edited by dystaind on Mar 4, 2006 at 01:48 AM

so what exactly is gsm?

how heavy is a 350 gsm sweatshirt? about how heavy are regular hanes/fruit of the loom type sweatshirts?

i too have yet to check out the store. but i keep hearing things about their stuff falling apart. anyone have any experience with this? basically the one reason i'm hesitant to buy anything from them.

but their hoodies do look nice.

*sigh* i just turned down going to the Fiery Furnaces.

last this weekend The Books are playing. that same day my school is showing 50 Cents Get Rich or Die Trying. Ghostface Killah also has a concert that night. and Akimbo is playing at another venue.

for one, Pittsburgh doesn't get that much music, but at times like this where everything happens all on the same day, these days make me the saddest since i can't go to everything at once
