Are you a high school girl?

yes

I really haven't listened to any new music this year. Old Friends by Pygmy Lush is the only album that comes to mind.
Maybe I should check out some more masakari... the profit feeds was great (for the first two tracks at least). I've tried listening to it a bunch of times and I've never been able to get through the 5th track. Too many recycled HHIG riffs.

best LPs -
omegas - blasts of lunacy... without a doubt
the men - leave home
scapegoat -st
brain killer - every actual state is corrupt
no problem - and now this
mob rules - the donor
wiccans record is good, soul swallower too, definitely forgetting more

best EPs/demos -
double negative - hardcore confusion 7"s
mad men 7"
raw nerve - midnight 7"
vile gash - deluded 7"
unfun - shallow graves 7"
hank wood and the hammerheads 7"
self-interest - blooming 7"
much worse - absolute nightmare 7"
unlearn/kruel - split 7"
crazy spirit - i'm dead 7"
willing feet 7"
perdition 7"
bellicose minds 7"
career suicide - cherry beach 7"
leather - wretch tape
strongblood tape
every single thing the ropes did
sick charade tape
church whip tape

Which stuff? Just the studio sessions again?

Maybe I should start listening to Korn again.
