to spin inside dull aberrations (final single mix)

so, part 2 ended up being a bit more minimalist than i was initially thinking, but i think it's the better way to get the idea across. the busier piano part didn't really segue well, it just sounded kind of hokey. maybe it's 'cause i'm sick right now, but this really feels like the right way to end it.

the reprise is quite large and may take a few days, but it's actually very much rooted in a monotonous sort of minimalism so it's not going to be nearly as ridiculous to build up. i spent two months on this. if you take a flip through the page, you'll see it was actually quite a struggle: broken guitars, fighting with headphones, sequencing strings, etc. but it's done...

bandcamp offers high quality downloads (not yet for this track, after the reprise - i don't do single tracks, full album dls only) but compresses a little on playback. try to boost the bass just a tad to compensate.

written in the summer of 2001. remembered over july, 2014. completed august-september, 2014.

orcas aren't going to confuse you or a dog for a seal. they're too smart for that.

would you eat a strange animal you've never seen before? no. you might be curious about it, though....

"if guys worried about the things that sexist guys incorrectly perceive that women worry about."

this might apply very loosely to very badly sheltered 12-13 year olds in two or three counties in the bible belt...


these videos do more to perpetuate really, really bad stereotypes than they do to function as some kind of role reversal.

it's just another example of how blatant sexist idiocy routinely masquerades as feminism nowadays.

most young women do not talk to each other as though they're mindless puppets of enforced systemic patriarchy, and the male-projected fantasy that they do is precisely the sexist bullshit that upholds that patriarchy.

i would encourage buzzfeed to hire some female writers and correct this skit to properly reflect the kind of modern, emancipated discussions that women actually have with each other on this topic - not a script written by some balding 50 year-old university prof that thinks he understands women from analyzing freud.

hahaha! well said. xD  I think these videos are over exaggerated on purpose in order to be more entertaining and offensive. anything that's annoying draws attention somehow, otherwise how could it be annoying?
there's no complex analysis necessary. they're just hungry. your friendly, well-bred pet would attack you, too, if starved.

orcas are also dolphins, and also very smart.

cetaceans are sketchy. i wouldn't trust one....
