The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[Iommic Pope]

It's like being a virgin and going straight to anal with a Moroccan man versus having sex normally with a British or American man for two years and gradually building your way up to 9" up da butt. Best analogy I could think of.

anal analogys work in every situation. it might be hard, but with a bit of work it'll fit. like anal.

It's like parking a full size car in a compact space. At first u think it won't fit but you fold in the mirrors and work your way in slowly then BAM your in.

Btw: Dan, how'd you know I was morroccan?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND we're back on track.
Nice work, fellas.

[pelliott]

How does that even work?

Vegan cheese, seitan seasoned, sliced, and cooked like corned beef. It was delicious.

A Reuben, Bossk, is a corned beef sandwich with russian dressing, swiss, and sauerkraut. They are really fucking good and really fucking bad for me.

So an eventual happy ending to my Brutal Panda issue. The guy from Brutal Panda emailed me back a couple days ago and it turns out he lives literally a five minute walk from my apartment. He apologized for not getting back to me sooner and offered to replace my records. So I now have a new whores clean that has been repressed to the correct speed and a new whores/rabbit split. He also tossed me a 7" from a band called Millions. I haven't heard them but I am going to check them out now. As an extra bonus I now get to see whores tomorrow at Saint Vitus. A good day.

[pelliott]

Ah hell that's nice. I haven't heard in a while and want to hear from Brutal Panda about my new copy of Clean. Also has anyone else who did the 7" subscription get their Whores/Rabbits split yet? I'm waiting on mine still.

That's cool they made it right. When I emailed them they told me that they would let me know when the repress was available and made no real allusion to sending me a record I could actually listen to...

Also, that Sleep cover is pretty rad. One of my favorite Sabbath songs.

Thats what I just got. The split and a new copy of clean. I just played the clean vinyl too and it sounds good. Try emailing him again. He told me he that he was leaving to go to roadburn soon though, so hopefully he answers you before he leaves.

[pelliott]

Yeesh, I hadn't realized it's been 4 months since I e-mailed them in the first place.

I have posted way too many videos today but here is one more. Something to feel good about. And considering the current talk of amps a good demonstration of the proper solution. Play all the amps. At the same time.

Jeezus jumpin christ, someone let me know when this infernal shittery has passed. Or don't. Whatever.

Some days I read Doom Room/ILF at work.

Today I was too busy reading the last book of Erickson's Malazan Book of the Fallen because reading fantasy books is my jam.

I'm glad I didn't read today because skip was posting all the ta-tas and some weird girl (that's mean, she's just into god) would walk in and be offended.

I don't have much to contribute to the amp discussion.

but, as for the jazz discussion -- I'm just going to throw two artists out there. neither of which are doom but have "heavier" tendencies. something old and something new (something borrowed, something blue).

First:

Mahavishnu Orchestra -- of course, cuz is probably already into them because they're hella jazzy. But what the fuck ever. I don't even listen to jazz. suck it.

Last -- and I could get some shit for this...

Opeth.

I know it's not really all the cool to like Opeth and they're definitely prog/tech metal and not very doom leaning but...

I think ultimately what attracts a lot of us to the doom room is just the overall progressive thoughts of the doom roomers. We're all pretty varied in our interests. It's just that, well, on a forum like ILF there tend to be a lot of people into SLOW AND HEAVY.

But a lot of us also like FAST AND HEAVEY. Some people are into d-beat, thrash, hardcore and punk. I know there are lots of Converge fans and they don't have much that you could even consider remotely close to doom.

I think Sabbath is cool as shit. Sleep is fine and I can listen to them without problem but I don't often seek it out. But there are tons of bands getting shit tons of respect around here that I love blasting.

Lastly, the noisy video of Dixie is so fucking awesome. Love that shit. Although sipping on the sizzurp is terrifying.

I feel like a recap is needed. Short version, I have a 20 something cousin who grew up in an isolated part of canada and listens to what his parents did. Jazz. His computer with all his music went poof, and I was asking for recommendations of heavies that someone with that background in music might be able to get into.

No one is trying to turn this into the Jazz room. You are safe here bro

I have no comment on the Bossk situation

Its ok dude, I'm just fucking with you.

Axman, that is gold.
Reprt back on the Sunn wedges!
Also, did you order wedges to eat?

Burrito man, delish

So the wedges look like this-



and do this



^not the ones I got. The ones i got were filthy, covered in mildew, and smelled funny. So I've been tearing them apart and cleaning them up.

Before-


After



Some might say not to clean em, but thats not mojo on them, it's mildew.
Low power rating so I will be looking up the speakers and making sure that's right, most likely will replace with some eminence.






The ones with "made in holland' on them have crazy strong magnets.

The plan is to get em sounding good and use them as mini guitar cabs for venues where our full rig will not fit. Yes, that has been a problem.

[Achtane]

Dang, that transforming action is awesome.

[AxAxSxS]

Dang, that transforming action is awesome.

Yeah I really dug that, will make life easier for us when we use em, as long as they work out and sound good.
