  1. That, about The Flatliners album, explains a lot. I'll let them off this time. Employed To Serve are mint. There are couple of moments on their first album where they go Full Converge and it's incredible so I'm excited to see where they go next. Mutoid Man have new riffs:
  2. I'm listening to this now. I didn't like the last one much, it was too long (23 tracks?!?!?!?!?!) and not punx enough. This one's a more sensible length so maybe I won't get too bored by its lack of punx. On the other hand, I might just go back and listen to Dead Language and Cavalcades a whole lot instead. The new Employed To Serve song is a right laugh: The album's out next month. I think it'll be good.
  3. It's not a publicly traded company so there's no mechanism in place for routine buying/selling of the shares. The crowdfunding for equity thing was just a small scale version of what they've done with the VC folk in America where a portion of the company is bought based on a particular valuation. In the early case it was a portion being bought up by a thousand people (not an accurate number) rather than one person/company but it's the same principle.
  4. They said on saturday that people who have invested through the crowdfunding scheme will be able to sell 15% of their equity based on the valuation given during their partial sellout to corporate america. If you got in during the first or second phase your shares are worth 26 times more than they were when you bought them. I got in during phase 3 so mine are worth 6 times what I paid for them so I'll still be able to get out what I put in plus a little bit extra, which is about as good as I thought it'd ever get.
  5. NOT THRASH: I like the new Tricot song even if I don't know what they're singing about. I hope it's nothing untoward.
  6. Basically what these guys do: http://thesetpieces.com/gaming/ I'm still playing FM2013 because my laptop is a piece of shit and I get very little time to play it anyway so it's not worth trying anything newer. I'm in the summer of 2020 at the moment with my England team in the semi-finals of the Euros, preparing to go up against Switzerland for the chance to lose to Italy in the final. Domestically, I've been Middlesbrough manager for all 8 seasons. I guided them to promotion in my second attempt and have steadily risen the ranks of the Premier League year by year with my first top 4 finish in the 18/19 season followed up with a 2nd place finish in 19/20. Man Utd are unstoppable thanks to a front 3 of Neymar, James Rodriguez and Eden Hazard so there's no shame in not being able to keep up with them though next season I'm hoping to give it a good go. My squad is mostly regens at this point aside as I went full on with the sign players under 20 with 5-star potential strategy after my first season in the EPL and thankfully as they've been improving my stature in world football has been keeping up so they haven't been snapped up by the big teams yet. I'll try and do some screenshots of tactics and players next time I get a chance to play which might be tomorrow or might be some time in April, I don't know. It'll be a fun throwback for you 2017 players.
  7. I get that but it reminds me of this banger from a few years back which is always welcome:
  8. That Havok record is a top half Megadeth album which is more than Megadeth are capable of now so I'm alright with it.
  9. A good album to listen to if you like noisy, angsty rock music with fuzzy guitars is The Incessant by Meat Wave, which came out last month.
  10. Yeah, I'm all in on Code Orange. I see where you're coming from with the transitions being clunky as heck but I can get past that because I don't know any better and that they're there at all is pretty cool plus it makes me want to throw bricks at piles of other bricks. I'm excited to see how it works live when they support Gojira next month. Maybe I'll go to the front and throw some young people around*. New albums out TODAY: Power Trip - Nightmare Logic. It's a thrash metal album that's up there with the best from the NINETEEN EIGHTIES Hark - Machinations. It's yr man Jimbob from Taint, back once again with a bag full of RIFFS to smash up yr ears. *I will not do this, I will watch respectfully from a safe distance as I am a mild-mannered family man
  11. Iron Reagan for your ears. Good.
  12. Best EPs because I'm listening to one of them and it's good. Coldfront - Is This Where They Found You? Punk rock in the style of Title Fight and The Story So Far. Puppy - Vol II. The band Billy Corgan wishes he'd started. The best of 80s metal riffing with wimpy vocals like you get on Ween records or whatever. It's good. The drummer dude's got a floor tom on his rack, always a good sign that a band means Business.
  13. Everton, it seems, is not an easy job to take: http://thesetpieces.com/gaming/fm17-project-episode-1/
  14. I forgot this came out in 2016. RIFYL: BLOODY BIG RIFFS PLAYED WELL SLOW
  15. I saw Liam Miller score a last minute equaliser in a Tees-Wear derby back in 07/08. It was gut-wrenching but also the best goal I've seen in person so he'll always have that.
  16. Like wor pal Soda Jerk, there wasn't a whole lot that grabbed me in punk this year but I'm pretty keen on the Break the Cycle by Giants which reminds me of Rise Against but less boring and more 'we like skateboards'. Do you like Rancid? Do you wish Rancid had released a really good Rancid album this year? The Interruptors released a really good Rancid album this year:
  17. Black Peaks - Statues Oathbreaker - Rheia Gojira - Magma Milk Teeth - Vile Child Heck - Instructions The Fall of Troy - OK Future Of The Left - The Peace & Truce Of Future Of The Left Jeff Rosenstock - Worry Whores - Gold (bonus prize for song title of the year "I See You Are Also Wearing A Black T-Shirt") Batteries - The Finishing Line Honourable Mentions: Bob Mould - Patch the Sky, Moon Tooth - Chromaparagon, Vredehammer - Violator, Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas - Mariner, PUP - The Dream Is Over, Architects - All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, Inter Arma - Paradise Gallows, Martha - Blisters In The Pit Of My Heart, Greys - Warm Shadow, UXO - Uxo
  18. Hello. Watchfires aren't playing, it's now A Watchfire doing a solo set which will be lovely too. Here's a poster to look at:
  19. 11/4? Shoulda piled on when it was 5/1 imo.
  20. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about: https://medium.com/@theonlytoby/history-tells-us-what-will-happen-next-with-brexit-trump-a3fefd154714#.5b326utd6
