<2022-03-18T17:45:46.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Man you always say that you're the most repugnant and mean-spirited person around but you're a super laid-back, gentle dude in every online interaction I've ever seen. Like a good-natured sperg, what's up with that. You're a really bad villain, bucko.
<2022-03-18T17:46:30.000Z> Jiub: Thanks, I think it might be part of a persona I'm playing up or some goofy coping mechanism
<2022-03-18T17:48:50.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Probably a bit of both but we all gotta have our ways to cope. Drop that link next time you stream Castlevania, boss.
<2022-03-27T21:26:41.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Brett Stephens is just as much of a fart sniffer on fedi as he is on his website. Even if he is well-meaning. That is all.
<2022-03-27T21:26:53.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: DUGIN? Yawn.
<2022-03-27T21:31:30.000Z> Jiub: Yeah he's frustrating
<2022-03-27T21:31:50.000Z> Jiub: I mean reading his stuff in high school was a big thing for me but he's really kind of a wiener
<2022-03-27T21:32:32.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Only reason I messaged you about this was because you have explicitly made fun of him before on RFI and stuff, so I figured you'd be amused.
<2022-03-27T21:32:49.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Yeah he is striking me as a right-wing version of a centrist or something.
<2022-03-27T21:33:05.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Maybe that's just what NRx is. Anyway, cheers.
<2022-03-27T21:33:48.000Z> Jiub: Yeah he was like NRx before NRx. I was reading his stuff way back when he just did ANUS. Heavily informed my perspective on music way back when.
<2022-03-27T21:35:33.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: I had an odd path into metal so I can't relate. I was just listening to really bad power metal in middle school, stoner and prog metal in high school, and then finally in college I started getting into actually decent material. I never had any friends or family members who were into other stuff and I guess I was in a musical bubble for a while.
<2022-03-27T21:35:44.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Lol okay then my speculation was correct on him, that's funny
<2022-03-29T19:08:53.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: The new Wombbath album is pretty rad. What are your thoughts?
<2022-03-29T19:27:36.000Z> Jiub: Yeah it's really really good
<2022-03-29T19:27:55.000Z> Jiub: Honest that band has surprised me a lot
<2022-03-29T19:28:14.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: I thought so too, and I was pleased that it was so long. Can't wait for my CD coffin box edition to arrive.
<2022-03-29T19:28:27.000Z> Jiub: One of the few really good death metal reunions
<2022-03-29T19:28:46.000Z> Jiub: Yeah they went NUTS on merch with this one
<2022-03-29T19:28:53.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Yeah it was cool hearing y'all mention them on MUYF. I had gotten into them a few months before that.
<2022-03-29T19:29:42.000Z> Jiub: I got the old reissue of their first album with a shirt when it came out, I honestly didn't think I'd hear from them again
<2022-03-29T19:29:51.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Dude I know. I don't usually jump on stuff like this but dang sometimes I just get sucked in to the tard trinket like a moth to a light. Doesn't happen often though, but I guess in this case it could be worse.
<2022-03-29T19:30:20.000Z> Jiub: I mean I just blew $60 on a Deviloof album
<2022-03-29T19:30:32.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Nice man. It's always gratifying to get the double whammy of a good band dropping NEW material AND that new material being really really killer
<2022-03-29T19:30:56.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: lmao at this point my disposable income goes to tobacco music or bullets im a simple man
<2022-03-29T19:30:59.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: so i can respect that
<2022-03-29T19:31:52.000Z> Jiub: If only Uncanny would put out more new stuff. They're the only other Swedish band I can think of that had a really good reunion like that. Unfortunately they've only put out like two singles 
<2022-03-29T19:33:05.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Never heard of them, but I'll have to check them out.
<2022-03-29T19:33:10.000Z> Jiub: OH MAN
<2022-03-29T19:33:16.000Z> Jiub: Their old '90s album is great
<2022-03-29T19:33:36.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Sweet
<2022-03-29T19:34:23.000Z> Jiub: but their reunion stuff is spectacular. They put out this EP in like 2016 called Liturgy that's a really interesting take on the old Swedish chainsaw stuff.
<2022-03-29T19:34:27.000Z> Jiub: youtu.be/xPe-Mu7T-FA
<2022-03-29T19:35:53.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Whoa this is cool
<2022-03-29T19:36:04.000Z> Jiub: the other band kind of like that is Sarcasm, but in their case it's different because they didn't get a full-length out in the '90s. They were one of the really early melodic bands kind of contemporaneous with Dissection, but they didn't have a full-length until 2017.
<2022-03-29T19:36:29.000Z> Jiub: their demos were awesome though and their reunion stuff has been grea
<2022-03-29T19:36:28.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Yeah wtf is this guitar thats so whacky
<2022-03-29T19:36:37.000Z> Jiub: yeah the leads dude they're nuts
<2022-03-29T19:36:43.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Oh I know Sarcasm dont worry
<2022-03-29T19:37:06.000Z> Jiub: hell yeah
<2022-03-29T19:37:09.000Z> Jiub: Sarcasm's great
<2022-03-29T19:37:22.000Z> Jiub: I only found out about them because of that Swedish Death Metal book
<2022-03-29T19:37:40.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: I'll never try and snatch the autistic band-knowledge pebble from your hand, sensei, but I know SOME stuff at least
<2022-03-29T19:37:49.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Dank I miss zines and books like that
<2022-03-29T19:37:59.000Z> Jiub: yeah that book's pretty good
<2022-03-29T19:38:17.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Well I mean I'm too young to miss them so I guess I should say I wish they were still around.
<2022-03-29T19:38:29.000Z> Jiub: he's kind of a wiener in the black metal chapters but the death metal parts are great and the big alphabetical index thing at the end is really interesting
<2022-03-29T19:38:39.000Z> Jiub: it's how I found out about Decameron and Godgory too
<2022-03-29T19:39:53.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: The people that aren't wieners about black metal tend not to have a platform anymore because all the cool guys are either crypto-fash or just openly dissidents that would be banned from social media in five seconds
<2022-03-29T19:40:17.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Everybody just does BM dirty and if anything that just means BM is rad. It's negative reinforcement.
<2022-03-29T19:40:18.000Z> Jiub: well I mean he's like an old fashioned wiener where he just doesn't like black metal because he was a death metal guy
<2022-03-29T19:40:29.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Oh I gotcha lol
<2022-03-29T19:40:35.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Makes sense. They're out there.
<2022-03-29T19:40:56.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: So he just isn't that fun. Shame. If I can enjoy DM and BM so can he dammit.
<2022-03-29T19:41:01.000Z> Jiub: I wanna say the book came out before stuff got really political
<2022-03-29T19:41:12.000Z> Jiub: maybe like 2010ish or something, I can't remember
<2022-03-29T19:41:52.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: What a time.
<2022-03-29T19:42:00.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Unimaginable.
<2022-03-29T19:42:29.000Z> Jiub: I mean it was like sort of there in black metal because Pitchfork was covering Wolves in the Throne Room or whatever but nothing like it is nowadays
<2022-03-29T19:42:53.000Z> Jiub: I wasn't around for zines at all but I have a couple that I got cheap at record stores, like old issues of Snakepit or whatever
<2022-03-29T19:42:56.000Z> Jiub: they're pretty sick
<2022-03-29T19:43:31.000Z> Jiub: Brett Stevens actually had one called Heidenlarm that was pretty good way back when
<2022-03-29T19:43:49.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Maybe I didn't get into BM at first because the one dude in my HS that was into black metal also loved anthony fantano. It would explain a lot. Meanwhile a pajeet I was friends with at the time was listening to horrible prog stuff and saying the N word.
<2022-03-29T19:44:09.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: I am jealous. I wish there were more scans out there.
<2022-03-29T19:44:36.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: It's cool to sift through stuff, especially old interviews. One with the frontman of Demilich that's online made me crack up.
<2022-03-29T19:45:09.000Z> Jiub: there was one with Kam Lee from Massacre where he was talking about talking monkeys with car keys that was pretty funny
<2022-03-29T19:45:37.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Massacre is so sick its unreal I listen to them all the time at the gym
<2022-03-29T19:45:58.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: The drumming is so tasteful on From Beyond
<2022-03-29T19:47:29.000Z> Jiub: yeah massacre is great
<2022-03-29T19:47:34.000Z> Jiub: that album is produced perfectly
<2022-03-29T19:47:41.000Z> Jiub: awesome guitar tone
<2022-03-29T19:48:00.000Z> Jiub: I used to think it was the best Scott Burns production ever but then I found out it was actually Colin Richardson oops
<2022-03-29T19:48:45.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: hahahaha
<2022-05-08T02:22:41.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: For what my constructive feedback may or may not be worth, I enjoyed last night's MUYF more so than usual. It felt more like some friends just shooting the bull and listening to music that they both enjoy, but y'all were able to give the music its space for the most part. In most episodes I can't hear what y'all are saying a lot of the time because of the music or someone is talking over someone else, or a combination of the two. So, I don't get to listen to conversation or the songs that y'all choose, at least not very well at all. I felt like last night's episode was solid because y'all avoided those pitfalls.
<2022-05-08T03:10:04.000Z> Jiub: I think having only two of us on probably helped with that too. I know last week I was pretty low energy and it got kinda chaotic. This time around I was actually running the show myself too, so it probably had kind of a different atmosphere. Glad you liked it!
<2022-05-08T23:26:00.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: Makes sense, glad you took that in stride because it was meant to be purely constructive.
<2022-05-08T23:27:06.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: And before I ever get anyone on my case about sayin "y'all" that is MY word that was co-opted by reddit niggers and tranny jannies. As a Cajun gentleman it is my birthright to use the contraction.
<2022-05-09T03:57:29.000Z> Jiub: It's actually a fairly useful linguistic trick, since English lacks a second person plural pronoun. I used to use it all the time when I was in Latin class.
<2022-05-15T03:00:19.000Z> Jiub: I'm uploading all of the Kiborg stuff I have, so it'll be tagged properly. It's about halfway done, so it'll be a little bit. It's about a gigabyte of stuff.
<2022-05-15T03:20:16.000Z> Jiub: mediafire.com/file/b9msas4g3hedcg4/Kiborg.zip/file
<2022-05-15T03:20:18.000Z> Jiub: there it is
<2022-05-15T23:11:51.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: wow dude thank you
<2022-05-15T23:12:07.000Z> GoldenGoblin@kiwifarms.cc: hell yeah, now i can listen to more than just antikommunist while im at the gym
