Makeshift_Swahili posted:australia has a good music scene if you're into either hardcore punk or death/black metal. other than that its pretty dire.
feel like there's a fairly big audience for electronic music, because cooll ppl are always touring here, plus we dance like sick cunts, but theres a complete void of local talent afaik.
the dead c were actually playing ATP here just last weekend, with MBV (who literally have a new album) and some other cool bands.
There's actually a bunch of cool Austrailian bands these days I think? Royal Headache and Kitchen Floor and I forget who else
I saw Dead C in like 2008 and the drummer did like random jarring heavy classic rock beats while the guitarists just did whateever, it owned

Ps you'll all be pleased to know i'm back home safely in the greatest city on earth
new yuck?
Where everything is twice as expensive, it's currently humid as a jungle, i already had spiders in my breakfast cereal, and everyone drives waaaay worse than LA.
It's all worth it just to live in such a beautiful place......
note to America: number 1 aesthetic priority, cut down on the advertising, Jesus, it is so constantly, annoyingly, overwhelmingly present that one falls into a weird state of both over stimulation and stupor.
i can't fucking believe that ads like this are allowed
that was the one thing that really struck me about america: the level of mercenary capitalism as one experiences it through everyday life is at a far higher level than i thought. I've always used the ole' Brit/American hybrid as a shorthand of explaining australian society but we're far closer to the brits than the americans i think.
Most Americans were pretty cool though.

It's one of the few places where minorities are able to enforce biopolitical control over the bodies of whites (the significant other avenue being sports of coursse) and goes some (very small) way to redressing structural imbalances.

The best prescription med commercials are the ones where it's like, Hey, we found this fucked up chemical that will make your eyelashes grow like crazy, so if you don't have enough eyelashes ask your doctor about this serious and not made up condition so you can buy our pills, PS here are the 50 side effects.
*read rapidly by a soothing voice* possible side effects include: Runny ears, jimmy legs, beer aversion, kankles, spiderbites, cankers, irritable bowel syndrome, perturbed pancreas syndrome, the gout, the plague, nausea, immaculate conception, goatstein befriending, malaise, chocoholism, non-hodgkins lymphoma, hodgkins lymphoma, lou gehrig's disease, non-lou gehrig's disease, 'jumpy' bowels, GRIDS, that thing where it feels like you have to pee but you totally don't, tom's disease, inflammitis, syphilis, megalomania, listening to linkin park, bowtie-wearing, failing to yield, bad gateway
there was a giant LINKIN PARK AUTOGRAPH SIGNING EVENT flashing billboard in vegas that pissed me off for two days. It harks back to what i said earlier about rock music, and how nothing represents the fact that America's glory days are over as they ceaselessly stumble back and forth upon the corpse of Elvis with ever diminishing returns. In fact i don't think it's out of place to say that the electric guitar is probably one of the most reactionary single objects i can think of.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a series of *oontz's* stamping on a Dutch dance floor forever
