Aug. 12, 2022 - Austere August 12- Hoggin The Gems Of Raw Wisdom
#GEMsofWisdom WTG/XTG/Buffing. Day 12 on the blade continues to be smooth. I've been palm stropping each day so we'll see if that has any impact on blade life. I think the longest I've taken a GEM is 20 shaves

#Sidetracked Yesterday u/Teufelskraft wondered if mathcore was some kind of drone-y, shoegaze-y genre of the metal world, like a bunch of nerds with pocket protectors humming to themselves as they figure out some wacky math theorem. Ohhhh, how wrong of an assessment that is. Mathcore bands might have contained some of the smartest guys in your math classes, but this was not the pocket protector patrol. These guys were cooking up songs with complex rhythms and song structures while screaming in the garage. Bands like Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge neatly fit into this subgenre at one point or another. But my favorite band for snapping my neck in all different ways was Botch from Seattle. Botch's 1999 album, We Are The Romans is a landmark album for the genre and for the band. This album is bonkers in the best possible ways from the song titles, to the lyrics to the songs. This album will piss off your neighbors, may piss off your significant other and will probably leave a mark on your body. Botch had some very talented musicians, including guitarist Dave Knudson, who went off and formed Minus The Bear when Botch broke up. I'll probably save Minus The Bear for tomorrow for a mellower entry. In the meantime, let's destroy this Friday, shall we? https://botch.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-romans-remastered-reissue
Have a great day all!
