Rolling Metal Thread 2010

man, skimming through those comments makes me wish we had comments on ILX

if you're forcing me to answer this question (skip to * if you don't want to read about this) guess it was the chivalry, the possible (maybe perceived on my part) dick waving about who can help becky best. who can truly give becky what she needs? who can give her the proper recommendations? it just seemed ridiculous. i've seen this happen irl and while it never really happens to me (i don't remember the last time i asked for help with anything because i've always been a do-my-own-research sort of music listener) it happens. and it really doesn't happen the same way when a guy is asking for recommendations. that's all.

no hard feelings btw -- i just want everyone to continue talking about metal.

* in fact, i would like to talk about festivals. if i can't make it to roadburn (too $$ to get to europe any time soon) and i don't want to metal cruise (no seasickness pls also cozumel blecch) what are some of my other options? what's nate's thing called again? would like to visit PNW.

note: you could always sb me if you feel that strongly

and it really doesn't happen the same way when a guy is asking for recommendations. that's all.

we do, it's the "submit post" button

in re: festivals, I don't know, I would have gone to MDF if I didn't have to leave town for work, but pick through these:

Speaking as a UK poster, it's not unusual for women to be into metal. I mean some gigs I go to are nearly 50/50. Half the metalheads I know are women. Jumping to the worst possible conclusion out of myriad possibilities is a bit shitty. I've had exactly the same conversation with plenty of male people on this board. Acoleuthic being one...

"Who can give her what she needs?" That's a bit fucking low.

and you were suggesting i saw the slow one, doggie? ;-D

not about the actual poster apart from the mention that newbies will be put off by such attitudes, in my opinion.

ksh had the living fuck hazed out of him when he first got to this board & he's doing just fine as far as I can tell

truth bomb

see pretty much my first few months posting as kshighway

Bullshit. Not on these rolling metal threads that I've been posting on for years and certainly none that involve me.
I wasn't talking specifically about you -- it's the collateral damage of this happening irl as long as i can remember. Please accept my apologies if you thought I was calling you a cretin. None of you are jerks, I know that. I was just annoyed.

What I'm saying is that guys get the living fuck hazed out of them -- girls (sometimes) get treated like lambies.

Ok fuck you!

</crap attempt at joke>

What should we be talking about then?

</spits on floor in manly yet non-discriminatory fashion>

f u too bozo :)

Fair enough. No worries.
ksh got hazed because of his previous posting history though, same with LJ and ilxor. But it's not right to do it on somebody's more or less first post on this thread who doesn't have a certain kind of online backstory. And that applies to all sexes. I do not see what the problem is with being polite sometimes.

ksh got hazed because of his previous posting history though

what?

when i started posting as kshighway, no one had any idea that i had even posted here before, because i had only posted for a handful of months in 2007 under a different name, and no one paid much attention to me

you had been posting on ilm a while before posting on this thread, right? you were seen as being "pitchfork indie" iirc

for sure -- but i was never hazed on Rolling Metal, just everywhere else

haha

:-)

plus everyone thought you were dom or something? i forget.

i don't follow the great sock wars that closely.

I couldn't tell you who anyones sockpuppets are tbh

btw if anyone wants recommendations for good metal (IMO) then they could do a lot worse than checking out http://www.profoundlorerecords.com/

hahaha -- if they did, i wasn't aware of it

tons of ppl thought i was someone's sock though

I think most new posters seem to get that accusation.

ksh what are your favourite discoveries since you started posting on rolling metal?

i don't listen to torche, mastodon, or baroness, but its possible i might like a band called coffinworm. they don't feature, like, ex-members of superchunk or anything, do they?

no

Coffinworm

I think you would enjoy Hooded Menace too

blackened sludge doom. you could describe my lungs the very same way.

i think i can download all this stuff from my e-mail, but i never do. cuz i'm lazy. and hate listening to music on my computer. but i should check some of the newer profound lore stuff. i dig them.

Your lungs will like Sloath on Riot Season.

have I already stanned for Shadow Kingdom records enough? because they are just killing it dead with obscure reissues. amazing shit. on the sludgy front tho ss try to get that hyponic thing I was talking about, it's remarkable.

Scott you do too listen to Baroness. You posted abt it. It's OK!

Still lolling about Ben Sidran, A+ to the man in the aerosmith T.

yeah the ben sidran post was choice but i didn't want to pile on.

i listened to the last baroness album once and i liked it! listened to the one before it once too and liked it okay too. so, yes, i have listened to baroness. but i don't "listen" to baroness.

but i've got no problem with baroness. i like kylesa more though. or i really like one album by kylesa a bunch anyway. enough to listen to it, like, six times.

and as far as mastodon goes:

remission - listened to it twice for review purposes and even bought the vinyl cuz it looked cool. later sold vinyl on ebay without ever listening to vinyl. gave it a rave review in the village voice based on those two listens.

leviathan - don't think i ever listened to it.

blood mountain - bought the cd and listened to it once. sold cd.

crack the skye - listened to some of the tracks on youtube.

but i got no problem with them either. more power to them. in theory i should love them. just don't ever want to hear them. the heart wants what the heart wants.

leviathan is actually the best one in my opinion

I enjoy them when i put them on but then i get a feeling like damn this is time i could be listening to rush.

my fave mastodon moment is actually the sample at the beginning of shadows that move. had it on a relapse comp and i would play it over and over. just the sample and the first minute or so of the song. one of the all-time great movie sample intros. someone told me that some deejay on wfmu used to play the same sample on their show, but i don't know who used it first.

what movie is that from?

one flew over the cuckoos nest. according to wikipedia. i haven't seen the movie in years. don't remember that outburst.

Yeah its been like 20 yrs for me. It is on Watch Instantly at the moment...

Actually that comp and Leviathan are my favourites with the latter easily being in my top ten metal albums of the last decade. That comp is great though 'Slickleg' and 'Battle At Sea'.

have I already stanned for Shadow Kingdom records enough? because they are just killing it dead with obscure reissues. amazing shit.

HEAR HEAR. great label & distro. i think i tried to get people on an earlier version of this thread to check out The Hand Of Doom reissue unsuccessfully.

"what's nate's thing called again? would like to visit PNW."

Dear LL, please do come. I'm doing a mini-fest July 9-10 called Day of Hel, but my main annual festival in Portland is called Fall into Darkness and will occur this year on Columbus Day Weekend Oct 7-10.

Portland is an awesome place to visit. Just ask EZSnappin. We been hangin all weekend. :)
