That's a pretty great selection, there. Great to hear such niche music, too. Thanks for sharing!

Actually, this may interest you (somewhat ironically).

OH i like this!

shirley collins

my favourite forever

You have some... unique tastes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2lvCcMlPQE

Here's an awesome song coupled with an awesome video.

this is extremely cool and satisfying

There's something enjoyable about watching someone take a raw material and craft something both useful and beautiful from it.

Also, you should make some blacksmith porn. Just sayin'.

wow great tunes but have you ever considered

have you seen the movie it's from? it's so brutal

Yea I've heard it takes a while to recover from emotionally... and thom yorke isn't in it XP

it's so fucked up!! really good tho

I love many Lars von Trier films! have you seen Nymphomaniac?

not yet. i really like what i've seen but i don't exactly seek his stuff out. i think bc lots of his stuff seems to have a meanness to it that i just have to be in the right mood for. i really want to see melancholia if only just bc of the cinematography and camera work and music tbh

Melancholia is basically his most accessible movie, though I haven't seen 'The Elements of Crime' which might also be easier. What you see as 'mean' I see as healthy cynicism but that's only because I come from a darker place myself. Melancholia and Nymphomaniac are the second and third parts in his Depression Trilogy, meaning if you wanted to get the whole picture you'd start at Antichrist... but that one is brutal :O

yeah my bf is really into his stuff, he's told me a lot about it. i really like the kingdom series he did tbh, i saw it ages ago, it was funny and creepy and the handheld cam stuff was crazy

Ooh I've always wanted to see that! Did he have a physical copy from amazon or did he find it online somewhere?

actually i saw that before i met him! i had a vhs copy of it (somehow) when i was younger, no idea what happened to it tho

if you and your bf are going to be at MFF, I'd love to buy you both drinks and talk movies :3

thanks! we were thinking about it but tbh we probably won't end up going this year :/

oh no! that means it could be a while before getting to meet Willy in the fur >.<

in case you change your mind... what sort of beer/liquor do you enjoy most?

and since you are a fan of obscure music... ya heard of this group before?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErxDztIshsA

this song is harsh!
i like belgian beer a lot, especially sours. unibroue's stuff is great too

oh gawd sour beer yum! I mean, I like hoppy beer such as strong IPAs and am not sure I've had a sour before but that sounds delicious. And yeah the song is dirty and loud but I enjoy how it balances the fragile beauty of the underlying vocals and chord progression with the primal howl of the feedback :)

have you seen Gone Girl yet btw? That is a great movie even though I'm not the biggest Ben Affleck fan he does a superb job

IPAs are great, i got into those a lot when i first started learning about good beers, i still love em. i like flying dog's double IPA bc it's just super hoppy and sweet and totally unbalanced but really fun and good. sours are crazy as hell, my favourite one is lindeman's gueuze because it's so sour it's almost vinegary.

i haven't seen gone girl but i heard a lot about it some ppl seem to rly hate it but others love it, i guess i'll have to see it! i'm most excited about seeing inherent vice and i want to see the rest of terrence malick's stuff i haven't seen yet

I'll look for lindeman's then since that sounds very intriguing especially; I have had flying dog before and that is good, also Stone IPA is good.

Inherent Vice has an amazing trailer and I've seen P.T. Anderson's other films and loved 'em all (Magnolia is actually one of my all-time favorite movies) so hopefully IV will be great too :3

The only Terrence Malick movie I've seen is 'The New World' but I want to see his other stuff too

yeah me and bf love pt anderson! we've seen all of his stuff too. i haven't seen the new world yet, i've seen days of heaven, thin red line, and tree of life, and i loved them so sooo much.

Hm, well where should I start first with Malick?

Also have you seen/heard of Upstream Color? That film is visually arresting and mentally complex but didn't get a whole lot of press sadly. It's from the director of a mindtrip film called Primer.

yah i've seen primer and upstream colour, i really liked both of them, esp primer!

the first malick movie i saw was days of heaven and it's just so different and good and pretty. i rly like period movies too so that helped. it's very ambient and more like a mood piece. thin red line is p much the only war movie i like beside grave of the fireflies. it is super emotionally intense but not in a dumb basic war movie way, it's way beyond that shit. tree of life is also really emotional and beautiful, it's like a dream of memories about a childhood, it's so so good.

speaking of period stuff, have you seen barry lyndon? my fave kubrick and period piece

Unfortunately, the only time I tried watching Barry Lyndon was during a period of my life where I had yet to appreciate good movies. After getting halfway through the movie I lost interest and changed it out for something else. As for Kubrick, I have seen and/or liked Lolita, A Clockwork Orange, (most of) The Shining, (some of) 2001: A Space Odyssey, A.I. (which was gross), and then my favorite from Kubrick is Eyes Wide Shut. I want to go back and give his other films another chance.

Period movies are tough to pull off, and while I might end up loving Barry Lyndon, for every one of those you have something like A Knight's Tale or Inside Llewyn Davis (the latter was especially a slight disappointment for me, a general lover of the Coen Brothers works). The best kind of period movie is a film that sums up the time it was made so it becomes a period film by proxy, such as how John Hughes films help to encapsulate the 80's.

You have a good taste in movies so I'm eager to suggest something you and/or your bf haven't heard of before! So I'll just make a short list and ya can tell me if you have seen these films or directors

Harmony Korine (director)
Harold & Maude (film)
Don't Look Now (film)
Bong Joon-Ho (director; anything besides Snowpiercer which was a letdown)
Sexy Beast (film)
Morvern Callar (film)
Fish Tank (film)
Irreversible (film)
Me And You And Everyone We Know (film)

Okay that's a decent length of a list :)

yeah period stuff can get really tropey, that can be ok but it can also get really corny sometimes. i'm always looking for something that'll make it stand out. barry lyndon is definitely challenging, it's super slow paced and the story is just odd, and it's kind of funny sometimes too. next period movie i want to see is a field in england, it looks wild as hell.

i've seen gummo and kids, they were good (esp gummo). korine has a similar sort of meanness to von trier so it's not something i seek out too feverishly. harld and maude and you and me were both really good. i haven't seen any of the other stuff tho!

lately i'm mostly watching documentaries. i've been watching ken burns' stuff. i watched the dust bowl and now now i'm watching the west, and i'm watching prohibition at the same time. i'll probably watch the civil war after that.

I think Korine's 'meanness' gets confused for his genuine appreciation for all things freakish and non-PC. I've read interviews where he talks about enjoying sideshow history and things of that nature... and based on his televised appearances he seems like a nice if loopy guy. Still, I can see where things such as Gummo especially could be seen as mean.

Are you interested in seeing the new documentary about Edward Snowden called 'CitizenFour?' It looks like it could be good. As for me I enjoy an interesting non-fiction story over a cliched fictitious one any day as most of the popular fiction is lackluster. I just saw Religulous the other day and think it's a funny documentary, and Michael Moore has created some humorous pieces as well. As for serious documentaries, I picked one up from work the other day called My Architect which is supposed to be amazing but I haven't had time to sit down and see it yet.

Are the documentaries you're talking about ones that are shown on The History Channel?

i've heard of those but i haven't seen any of em! the docs i'm watching are all PBS series, but they're on netflix too. imo ken burns stuff is so good bc he uses letters and journals to tell stories about individuals and uses those stories to illustrate local events and wider historic ones.

You say they're on Netflix? If you tell me your favorite of the ones you've watched I will see it when I can and tell you what I think :3

i love the dust bowl. it's my fave bc it has ppl that actually lived in that period talking about it. there was so much stuff that happened that isn't really taught or talked about. a completely otherworldly event and it lasted almost ten years. it's really tragic and fascinating.

Okay I will look for that on Netflix :)

Also... have you seen this before?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q3P2xziA00

Lol your icon

YES Kircher!!!

this actually reminds me a lot of jordi saval/hesperion performing some of the spanish dances

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3fTw_D3l10

i really like this!!!

Yeah me too^^ alt-js albums are just amazingly arranged. I can't stop after one song. The lead singers voice is too mezmerizing.

One more tip from me: Norwegian Moddi. Perfect for long drive through beautiful landscapes.

You like any of Steve Reich's stuff? There's nothing of his that I could link you to that's under like 15 minutes, but Electric Counterpoint is a shorter composition of his that I really like to listen to while studying, I highly recommend it if you're into minimal stuff.
