Oh yes, the subscription fatigue is real! I can barely stand to create new login accounts for things I actually need anymore, much less things I only marginally want. This reminds me of the survey fatigue I experienced 10+ years ago. All of

Fugazi is a great example, although not as popular they refused to charge more than $5 for their shows. I saw one in a small venue and it was raw and in your face and just awesome. They also didn't want anything to do with merchandisin

I suppose we only have one point of reference to make observations from, but it feels a little strange how the graphics tend to give a false sense of us being at the center of the universe. Would this graph essentially look the same if the

Can anyone help explain how things like this have not been changed yet due to the direct violations of the constitution? What happened to: 1) right to a speedy trial, 2) innocent until proven guilty, 3) no cruel and unusual punishment? It s

This was one of my favorites in the early 90's, along with The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld and their single Blue Room, Tango N'Vectif by µ-ziq, early Plastikman releases on Plus 8 Records, and Loveless by My Bloody

Personally I just say "electronic music" as the generic term to reference any/all sub-genres. Anything more specific falls apart quickly - even the "d" in edm implies danceability, which neglects several sub-genres.

My favorite track to test speakers for sub-bass / low frequencies: Gwety Mernans by Aphex Twin from the album Drukqs, 2001 You could literally hold a conversation in the room while your walls and windows are shaking! Cheers :)

Agreed. And you would think at least some of the journalists would leak evidence of this if they took the integrity of their profession seriously. Again, a lack of evidence isn't proof it didn't happen either.

I appreciate it because of how well it captures the look of a real world location. I've seen a lot of games attempt to capture the spirit of a real place and not get nearly as close as this. I agree it's not an example of massive
