It has been an age. Some of you remember me, most of you probably don't. In any case I don't really do internet socializing these days, but I do keep creative, and to show for it here's a tumblr full of ink sketches. Click and they grow larger. http://inkpolitis.tumblr.com/ Smeargle's...

FINALLY I just obtained a digital copy of this record from a spotty French dude who bought it after a live show in Europe (apparently the only way to nab it outside of Japan). Nisennenmondai is a band that I like to watch closely for a couple reasons: 1. They represent one of the few...

No amateur three-part Pokemon forum sampling of the world of underground Japanese Rock would be complete without mentioning Les Rallizes Denudes (裸のラリーズ), a band remembered by most for its bassist's participation in the Yodogo Hijacking of 1970. Never mind the fact that pretty much every...

High Rise is a prime slice of Japanese psychedelia. Pounding drums, repetitive basslines, brief choruses, and of course bitchin' guitar solos. Blend these together into a fuzzy mass of oldschool-inspired fury and you've got High Rise, fronted by the prolific bassist/singer Asahito Nanjo. This...

Let's start this one off with a comparison: My Name is Rar-Rar- "Look Sharp" http://www.mediafire.com/?zm5z2mnzyzv Fushitsusha- "Magic IX" http://www.mediafire.com/?jedrtjto2fm And that pretty much sums up the difference between the American and Japanese approaches to noise music. One is a...

"Let's Het" is ingenious. That being said, this album is not for everyone. If you do not have an ear for atonality or complex harmonics, you will hate it. If you can't handle multiple percussion lines in time signatures other than 4/4, you will hate it. Basically if you're against...

Sure, professional musicians making legitimate music is cool. Unless you're some kind of hardcore scenester, chances are your friends' tastes in music vary quite a bit! It may be fun to fantasize about playing in a galactic super-band with people you've known since first grade, but...

For the past few months my roommate and I have been testing out a theory. His dad is Afghani and has gone virtually his entire life without ever eating anything derived from cow milk or eggs. He hasn't been sick in 30+ years. Sometime around last fall, my roommate started to make a connection...

This forum needs more doubles teams. :-( Here is my 2v2 Stadium Mode squad I made for PBR online matches. It's been evolving for about a year and about as close to finished as it's ever going to get, so I want to hear what you guys think. I politely ask that any critiques come from people...

Falco "exploded" onto the Austrian Pop "scene" with Einzelhaft, an anomalous little gem amid the desolate musical wasteland of the early 80's. It was an era when American music was king in Vienna- chart toppers like "Physical" and "Eye of the Tiger" enjoyed their short-lived reigns in Europe as...

My interest in video games has waned considerably since the days of Jet Force Gemini and Ocarina of Time, to the point that nowadays I find my tastes narrowed down to only the most ridiculously bizarre/off-base of titles. Speaking of which... This badboy comes out tomorrow. Straight from...

So I got a tablet... (updaat) update: wow, i'm surprised this thread is still afloat! i really appreciate the responses guys :-) i've started to feel creative again (WOO) so i think i'm going to go out today and buy some watercolors and post the results in about a week or so. in the meantime...

Yeah so I just got a sweet deal on a ton of this stuff from a friend of mine who was trying to get rid of as much as he could. They've just started to ban it in like 25 states so I decided to partake before the chance slipped away. So my question is...does anyone here have any experience with...

Ships tomorrow. I've been playing Dragon Quest / Dragon Quest Monsters since the first GBC installment way back in 1999 and I'm an avid fan of the series. Given the nature of Smogon, I'm sure that there are some other DQMers out there that will be buying it (I'm looking at you Kiku). One of...

Voted "Best Boy's Senior Speech" EDIT: Intro was blegh.

It's gotten to the point where I just log onto the board and see a sea of "Pokemon Discussion" threads that all carry on the same type of insignificant conversation and never really go anywhere, and a huge pile of hasty RMTs inspired by page after page of number crunching and theorycraft. (And...
