The Flood / need help with burning the sacrifice
« on: July 30, 2020, 04:37:30 PM »
I'll give you some steaks, I'm just tired of doing it all by myself. I don't think it even fools Zeus. It feels like a cruel joke at this point.

Any takers?

I really don't. Other than some light narcissism, you can't even name any mental illness you hypothesize I'm suffering from.
Which is why you need to see an MD. So that someone who can, will. Nobody on this board can diagnose you with anything; that's bad medicine.
So then WHY would I see an MD? This is such circular logic. I've been to a therapist before and they just diagnosed me with dysphoria.

I've never been diagnosed with a mental disorder, nor do I display any traits of having one. Being weird, zany, and in general refusing to conform to the rest of you people doesn't make me insane - and to suggest it does is pretty ableist anyway.
For instance, I can suggest a persecution complex, but I don't absolutely know because I'm not a doctor.

I think I'll also use this thread to sperg about music. Maybe some will enjoy reading it?

So these are going to come off as scratchy, but irregularly so. For example, on the first few seconds of part one, and with the blasting on some of the high points. Despite that, it happens to be one of the most important blues documentations of all time, and is really just an all-in-all great song.

Now, I don't own this record, as the one or two copies extant are of very high-value (30k-75k), tightly held by private hands, and therefore well out of my league unless I were to uncover one myself. Because a lot of collectors don't really take full pictures of these discs, I can't show you how much of a dog's frisbee Preachin' the Blues actually looks like. I can, however, show you one disc I do indeed own, which came into my hands via luck.

Spoiler

With this, you'll begin to notice a variety of things right off. Firstly, this is not a vinyl record, this is a shellac record. What that generally meant is that you'd have a record with a clay core - making it quite rigid - and then some chemical mixture of resin which would take the sound cut from the master; (actual bug shit was sometimes used, but not by cheaper companies). In the case of Paramount, they commonly used the same material used to make bowling pins, which made even the cleanest of records sound like garbage. Speaking of which, the above photo is obviously not what a clean record is meant to look like.

Here's another one I have, again for reference (but yes, for vanity too):
Spoiler

These in mind, you can begin to see what exactly is going on with the songs I posted earlier. Some of the grooves look individually grayed, there are various marks (needle drops), general graying, what almost looks like staining... There's even a crack on mine in particular which shows no sign of actual force, but is indeed a result of storage shrinking due to the horrendous quality of the pressing. You can actually see "rings" of sweet spots where there isn't much graying and the music might actually sound nice. This in mind, you can picture what the Son House disc might look like and why it sounds the way it does.

There's a lot one can appreciate about the Paramount process, but not much when it comes to the company itself. It targeted the deep southern race market of the time (late twenties and early thirties), and hired some really fantastic talent scouts who brought the absolute best of the then unrecorded juke joint, streetside, and plantation performers into the Gennett studio, which was an historical juggernaut of recorded music by that time already.

And they had a much better pressing label, too:
YouTube

The truth is, Paramount was considered a gimmick by their parent, who were the Wisconsin Chair furniture company. They wanted a subsidiary who could deal records to go with their gramophones, so they founded a garbage pressing plant out of an old knitting mill (the New York Recording Laboratories in Port Washington, WI) and gave their main line of records the Paramount label. They bought up a bunch of old assets from defunct companies like Black Swan and did mostly reissues and then really hit or miss pop/jazz until around 1925, when they properly introduced their race series.

They did pretty well with getting good masters from Gennett and then exclusively ruining the fidelity with their garbage records which wore out faster than school lunch sporks. They got Ma Rainey, Papa Charlie Jackson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, and then, with irony, they got their cream of the crop (Charlie Patton, Son House, Skip James...) right at the onset and height of the Great Depression, which put a lot of companies under, including Wisconsin Chair and their subsidiaries. The problem was that their disadvantaged demographic went from being impoverished to starving, allowing no extra money for records and consequently making the 1930-31 releases beyond rare in the present day.

And that's why the fidelity of those two sides is so terrible. Here are the other four from the records shown. Enjoy!

Face it or not, anyone who frequently buys ancient memorabilia in auctions has money. You don’t need to want for anything, especially food. Don’t talk down to me, you privileged jerk.

Listen, you’re my friend and I like you, but sometimes you just don’t know how good you have it. Yes, depression and loneliness can affect everyone, regardless of social status, but you really shouldn’t condescend to me because I don’t have as much money as you. Not a good look.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Refer to #8, and please don't use your limited knowledge of my life and what I do to fuel your persecution complex. You write that as if I buy a Book of Hours every other month at a white tie auction for good times. Turning around antiques makes money, but I'm not exactly rolling in it. The collector's market is commission-only.

If you have wings that are colorful enough and you know how to fly, then it's worth a few hard times to get the most out of that.

Take these big ass wings and learn to fly again
I should have read the post more entirely, but I essentially just answered the title. I was lazy - no excuse. What I mean is that if you have a talent or a passion or anything you're interested enough to be happy with, then you should try for it. Even if you have a hard time here and there, a few sacrifices are worth getting the most out of life. Otherwise, you can end up in a position where you feel as though you aren't truly living, and that isn't worth all the money in the world.

The Flood / Bean Cannery XV

Bean Canneries: The 15 Types And How They Operate

Bean canneries are a fascinating part of sepsevenagon's history and the sep of our seven. When we first discovered the cynara bushes on Mr. Cornball's front porch, we'd been interested to discover the shadows that seemed to go under ours, but only if they also went over. We had to be careful, however, when going sideways at the bean cannery so that we didn't walk after the tin foil. Unfortunately, it was the bushes that held up the bean cannery, as well.​

See, the bean cannery was frozen in time in that it was going both forwards and back, but only on the latter sense of nothing. Whenst the horses were left to eat men and buildings, we died of alcohol poisoning. Point being, one must bask in April Showers to eat the flowers that wilt in January for to make the cannery produce new children. Uvak tgeg tid on forlo burr mintak tucky. Hif glun dokabon lopinak jig yig dig a fig. Regardless, people may be convinced through some types of medium that they are in fact superior to others, and because of this, they believe can get away with everything, including cheese thievery. The roots of this type of judgment can come from many places, but the most famous would be the works of Xenophanes. For the most part, it counts on the mind of those who study such works, and these mediums can persuade the reader of a message the medium is perceived to be sending, even if the author didn’t intend that message. Some might interpret the medium into something twisted, and act upon that.

The beanings likely began out of fear, and simply branched off into herd mentality. During the trial of one mailman, he said this, “I was ordered to go in there and destroy the enemy. That was my job that day. That was the mission I was given. I did not sit down and think in terms of men, women, and children. They were all classified as the same, and that's the classification that we dealt with over there, just as the enemy. I felt then and I still do that I acted as I was directed, and I carried out the order that I was given and I do not feel wrong in doing so.” Whether through coercion, obligation, or simple congregation, peers can mislead people into committing atrocities they could never think of doing themselves. Through this, people forget to think for themselves, and end up with a lifetime of regret. It is through this that we come to the real point of the issue, that being the Grarbenikzo.

What is the Grarbenikzo, you may ask? Simple, it is the essence of the central forces working within, without. Within the bean cannery, to be precise. Perhaps the more pertinent question is: what is the bean factory and how can it be stopped? There are no easy answers, we're afraid, which is why straw hats will continue to exist until the end of time. The greater bean factor is a complex and obtuse thing. It can lead to wondrous things, such as refried black beans, woolen caps, and anally-expelled flatus. It can also influence the body into doing terrible things; as murder, rape, and torture. It is clear that the the noodle cannery has capacity for all these, but it is a yinzek bor folla tak non ik boltog foggo lop. Winzektarusnanek un fir top hufln erpad Mexican propaganda.

An individual is incomplete without the Many. What is a drop of rain, compared to the storm? What is a thought, compared to a mind?
