Know what's awesome in a similar sort of vein? This. Actually, it's one or two things removed from that song you posted, but it's still fuck awesome. Will probably make you want to punch the shit out of something, though. Angry robots.

:lol Check. That song was pretty awesome Shaneus. I can see why people like that sort of music though, it does make you get up and about.

Which reminds me, I heard this on The Doctor's show on Triple J today, if any of you are old fogeys like me you might remember it. Paul Mac's original group: Itch-E and Scratch-E. Nevermind the crappy video!

Honestly 95% of my GAF time now is spent in this thread. Maybe if there's a comics thread I'm interested in I'll spend time in the but really this is it for GAF for me.

Someone make a web comics thread I can spend time in. I'm going to sleep..

I wouldnt call it dubstep. It's called breakdownrandomscreamingthedropyoutubecupgirlanotherdrop.

I know. I am not a huge fan, but find myself drawn to future music in part because of Skrillex :?

Could be worse. You could be attracted to it because of Jessie J. "its not about the Monay monay monayyyy"

They played that today? Wow. JJJ doing awesome stuff.

PS. I have that song permanently on my iPhone (and iPod before that). First song to with a dance music ARIA, donchaknow. Their acceptance speech caused a great uproar when the third "member" of I&S thanked the E dealers of Sydney.

Pretty much the same here. I hang about in the Forza threads as well, but that's about the extent of it.

LOL, a bit different, but still a sweet track.

First Of The Year (Equinox) - Skrillex

On repeat. All day.
On principle, I hate Skrillex. He has a face that's just made for punching.

Lol yeah, Lindsay said "I saw Paul Mac walking down the street in Penrith today and thought 'Oh yeah, Itch-E and Scratch-E!'" He's probably the best part of JJJ tbh.

ME THREE

I dislike the skrillexes and deadmouses and such. Some people have labelled them brostep to distinguish them from cool dubstep like Burial and ive come to like the label even thiugh its a bit elitist.

I prefer pantystepthough lol

pan·ty·step [pan-tee-step] –noun

1. music that makes girls dance around in their underwear.

He looks like Corey Feldman

It took about a second for me to reach back into my brain and fit a face to that name.

It took a split-second for me to feel shame about it only taking a second.

Fun Fact: Skrillex is Sonny Moore who was the vocalist for From First To Last before he left to make acoustic emo music on MySpace. When that hit a snag he spent more time on his side project as a remixer/dj and bam, out comes some fun glitch techno. Right time, right place. He has gotten a lot better on his recent releases.

Another Fun Fact: is that during the recording and promotion of the second From First To Last album Wes Borland played bass for them.


Rezbit said:
Surely Burial is not really dubstep though, maybe just...ambientstep? Lol.
Honestly Burial was the first artist I remember being referred to as Dubstep. I think of Dubstep as being ambient, almost dancy music that is focused on the rhythm of the drums.
 
I want a 24 hour marathon of slapping the bass on triple j. Surely if they can have a Sam Simmons marathon they can have this.

Slap bass > Sam Simmons

I told you earlier, if you're in Melbourne go pick it up from Dungeon Crawl.

Lier! I went there today. They had none in stock because they imported region locked version and had to send them all back. How does a store that imports game make a screw up like that?

So after a year+ of reading this book on and off, I've only reached the half way point in book 4 of the Dark Tower. This book just feels so damn slow after the first 3 books, which had quite a bit of action I think.

Not really in the same realm, but if you dig that ambient 'future music' stuff I highly recommend the NeoTokyo OST, which has some incredible shit like Imbrium.

So, what's it like without the DLC? Actually, will game sites have to institute a new review system where they review the game as if it was used AND new?

You know, this makes me fucking angry. They're even ruining the posters now. Look at that shit! Just stop! Star Wars posters have always been great even the prequels. But that...I could do that and I suck at photoshop.

I'm pretty sure I picked my nose at some point after eating my firebreather pizza because now I have chilli up my nose.

Left nostril, to be specific.

As much as i would like to ditch the iPhone, iOS and iTunes in particular, I am finding it hard to justify spending money on a new phone since I don't really use it.

I always get handed down my old mans handset, So now he is on a 4s and i've got a 4. I will have to see how ICS is and how much the nexus prime is going to be, if it's clearly $$$ then fuck it, I will stick with the iPhone.

A free phone every year is hard to pass up!

Since rage didn't turn up, This weekend is going to be watching SC2 on MLG and tagging my music with artwork.

No wonder why i'm single.

If you guys are using Windows, MediaMonkey is really good at organising and tagging music. You can get it to report albums with naming conventions other than what you want, or any missing tags, or missing cover art.

I was expecting Batman to be a reasonably average followup, with like mid-eighties reviews. Pleasantly surprised it's doing so well. I wanted it to be good but so often that never happens.

Edit: Interesting... Just noticed a UPnP port (3659) opened in my firewall for 'EA Tunnel', despite the BF3 beta being uninstalled and Origin not running.

So, I'm going through that WB thread this morning, and it's funny to see how when those fighting the good fight drifted off to sleep there was some kind of unspoken tag-team and others have picked up the slack. Some truly amazing arguments FOR this kind of treatment going on in there.
 
someone tell me what officeworks store has that $99 laptop, and then buy one on my behalf. Ankh can you find out who in australia even has it. apparently the entire state of victoria is sold out before it even went on sale.
