American Primitivism [chat]

VanguardVanguard But now the dream is over. And the insect is awake.Registered User, __BANNED USERS regular
edited March 2015 in Debate and/or Discourse
Folk music saw a renaissance in the 1950s when people like John Fahey, Leo Kottke, and Robbie Basho basically reinvented the acoustic guitar. It's notable for many reasons, but one of them is that their incorporation of Indian ragas and psychedelia predated the whole 60s countercultural movement. Listen to these tracks and remember this is one person playing a single track. This is American Primitivism.

There's been a resurgence of musicians carrying this torch recently, most notably Daniel Bachman and James Blackshaw. The formula hasn't changed, and it's still awesome.

    You can't tell him what to do. You're not even his real dad!

    Good thing too. That would be an amazingly cruel thing for a father to say to his son.

    I like the implication that it's some sort of Rover Vampire stalking its prey on Mars.

    Also, if you ever get a chance, read the book The Martian by Andy Weir. It's like Castaway on Mars* and it is tangentially related to the above webcomic.

    Speaking of "real dad", I used the kid's full name the other day when he was trying to drag a huge tin of Danish butter cookies off the counter yelling "more more more".

    My god, the power.

    Thinking back, I think I was a goody two-shoes as a kid specifically so I would hear my middle name as little as possible. I hated it. SO MUCH. Still kinda do.

    This is Abby. She's our sweet old lady cat.

    She is only a little bit walleyed.

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    The best thing about the holiday forum by far is @chanus is old jokes. Little known fact: I didn't even tell the first chanus is old joke. I just told the second through 87,032,393th joke.

    "Will it work in the three-name-parent-voice" was an actual conversation we had while coming up with names.

    It is a Jewish tradition to use the first letter of the name of a deceased family member as the first letter of your child's name. I can't imagine naming a child without that restriction. There are SO many names in the world.

    My family always did the full name. It can be the middle name or the first name.

    Mine is after my great uncle.
