  1. She's lovely :wub: And what a beautiful name "Jillian". It reminds me of Gillian Gilbert, the brain behind the acid lines in "Blue Monday", I always wondered what her tracks would sound like if she were into psytrance. Congrats!

     

    thanks! She's 8 weeks old now, and she's a handful.

  2. You should :) Just like many people from Europe would love to check out some parts of North and South America. In my case I would give my left testicle to check Peru, Amazon jungles, Canada and Grand Canyon.

     

    The Grand Canyon is pretty cool I've seen it three times. It never gets old. When you look out and see it, it almost looks fake, like you're looking at a painting. The last time I saw it we (my parents and I in 1992) took a train ride (on an old coal locomotive) but I forget what town we went from.

     

    I'd like to see some of the ruins in South America but man I'd be afraid of all those myths of people getting kidnapped and sold back to their families.. I did get to see the ruins in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico though.

  3. well hell dude I'm sure that kind of crap is everywhere. There's plently of places in the states where one would rather die than grow up in misery. Some places you fight for everything you have everyday, people shooting each other and stealing from each other, and twisted cops take what you have left. I'm sure that's no consolation, but America isn't full of a lovely dream life for everyone. And our economy is going downhill fast. The wealthy wants to rule the world, but all they're going to end up ruling is a desolate landscape full of hungry people ready to revolt.

     

    When I visited beautiful Playa Del Carmen, Mexico @ a resort, I found it odd that beyond these gorgeous beaches lies the slummiest dwellings people call homes. Stucko buildings with 10+ people living in them, clotheslines running from the house to the nearest dead tree. Cops are corrupted, drug lords reign, it's best to just stay on the resorts where you're safe.

     

     

     

    I am from Austria.

    I am from Vienna though, which is a shit town imo. Don't listen to people who have been here as tourists, they may find it nice, but living here is different. The upperclass districts are nice with their huge flats and big beautiful old houses, but the lowerclass scum buildings are crap. As I can't afford the former, I live in the latter. People scream on the streets, they scream in the yard (that some kids shall keep it down or it's an immigrant family quarrelling), bums sleeping in the alleys nearby, they broke into my cellar twice and if you leave anything on the street it gets stolen.

    I'd have committed suicide if I was not having a big park in walking distance from my house...

     

    No, I'm not going to post pictures, I'm so fed up of the town being so full of people I only hate it. If you dig something up, you may find it nice. And for a tourist it even is. And don't think I am that grumpy, if you come here, I'll be happy to meet up :)

     

  4. Man I dig pics of old architecture. Kind of makes me wish I could go on a European tour and see the old sites. I'm sure you guys over there are probably like whatever seen it a million times hehe much like we statesides are about our landmarks and stuff. I have a friend nearby who recently went to Ireland, and all the pics she posted on facebook all I could do is check out the buildings behind in each one, could really care less about her pics of herself and people she went with. XD

     

     

     

    I was in Greece in 2004/2005. I think and at that time I really enjoyed there, especially when we arrived in Patras and after that visited Mikena. View from Acropolis of Athens is also great, watching endless buildings from each side is really nice, at that time we visited all major archeological sites and it was great trip.

     

    It would be great if we can post some images aswell from our places (just like Jon did), for example my hometown is well known by being a ''City of Croatian Kings'' and stronghold/fortress above the city was build in 9th century. It's still one of the most known european fortress from that peroid and it was long time center of Croatian Kingdom. There is another important cultural and archeological place near Knin - a town called Burnum, which served as an Illyrian and Roman military camp in the 1st century BC.

     

    And now some images :) (snip)

  5. I was born in Germany, Bad Canstatt, Stuttgart, on an Army base.

     

    since then I've lived in the U.S.: Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois and Texas.

     

    currently I live in Illinois. probably forever. Posted Image

  6. Hey, it wasn't meant in a bad way, I would have kept it. People would recognize you :P

    And by the way, the actual one actually bears far dirtier things :ph34r:

    I'm just arsing around :lol:

     

    Good luck for the job and all the best to the woman and the little one ^_^

     

    thanks.. I have a lot on my plate the next few weeks. might have to switch from psytrance to psychill eventually. Posted Image

  7. well perhaps it's time for me to change my avatar then lol! nobody comes here to look at cock

     

     

    been busy as of late.. applying for interviewing for and getting a new job soon, waiting for the woman to pop out our baby soon, building a nursery and strollers, carseats, playpens, all of that stuff. whew!

     

     

     

    Welcome, welcome! Old skool rave music is perfect! That's what I started with too.

     

    P.S. I noticed your avatar/logo too! :)

     

  8. Dark Puppy - Your logo looks like a cock 'n' balls. Just sayin'.

    you know I've had that logo since 1993 when I designed it.. and in all these years so many have seen it you are the first to point out that it looks like cock n balls.

     

    guess we know what's on your mind! Posted Image

     

     

     

  9. Ministry isn't so much my cup of tea. But Strapping Young Lad shot the buck ... crazy stuff :P

    The rest was too goth-dustrial. I like industrial in general, but I like the more mechanic, machine-like monotonous sound. You know, Front 242, Frontline Assembly and these...

     

    I like it.. I've been a fan of Industrial since Skinny Puppy and KMFDM, Frontline, 242, Leatherstrip.. etc.. Nine Inch Nails (the early years of course, their later EMO crap sucks). Seems like tho Industrial had faded away for a while at least until revived recently with the goth/black metal/experimental bands like Psyclon Nine, Aesthetic Perfection, Sybreed, and Dawn of Ashes.

     

    for a completely fun and goofy experimental metal band check out Circus of Dead Squirrels. Start with 8 bit piece of shit or utopia burning and see if you like it. :)

     

     

    What I actually wanted to check out is if there is any trash metal band giving more intense output than Annihilator.

    Because even Destruction or Legion of the Damned, whom I have banged my neck off seeing them live, can't give me that punch that Annihilator has.

    I'm sure I've come across something over the years.. I used to get the Century Media compilations for like $3 a cd just to listen to various bands. Of course that's just one label, but they do have some interesting talent. I will always be a fan of Death, Doom, Black, Thrash, Goth Metal.. so that's the direction I split off to. Just like when I got into Techno, listened to Rave and House, a little Ambient, then moved on to Trance, psytrance.. I don't really pay much attention to the other subgenres as much.

     

     

     

     

  10. thumbs up if you read the subject and thought.. "In the beginning was the word.. and the word was sound..." (Afgin - T.R.A.N.C.E.)

     

    acid house kind of sounds like if you were to take cheesy porn music and give it a techno-pop twist. Posted Image

     

    hats off to the pioneers.. but I'm sure glad we've advanced in sound.

  11. Got anything more intense than this? I'd really be interested.

     

     

     

    This song sounds so much like the way Skid Row's Slave to the Grind is laid out..

     

    http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9SHMeUhTps

     

     

    in any event.. there are lots more intense things out there, but what sound are you looking for? Annihilator obviously isn't death metal.. more grindcore of the early 90s style.. when hair bands faded from lack of being hardcore, metalheads were looking for something more intense..

     

    I'd suggest then, a step up to Industrial Metal.. Ministry:

  12. Had to completely re install XP yesterday after spending about 4 hours trying to figure why the hell it completely dropped sound. I know on board audio often sucks, and read that it can drain a little of system resources, but ever since last year I've been doing just fine with it and then in the last couple days it's either worked or not... depending on a reboot, then yesterday it just failed altogether. I had an extra 7.1 Diamond sound card handy and popped it in there, Windows recognized the software drivers and said ok but still refused to acknowledge that I had a sound card that I could USE!! So in essence, had two soundcards (on board and PCI-E) hooked up both said working fine but Sound and Audio properties reported NO SOUND CARD! I spent hour researching websites, installing reinstalling messing with the registry, downloading different drivers.. nothing worked. So just had to reinstall windows.

     

    I remember back in the Windows 95 days Microsoft had a problem with keeping things smooth. Internet Explorer would eventually crash after months of use, for no reason it would JUST NOT WORK AT ALL! So Netscape Navigator became the web browser of choice. At least until all of Windows crashed and took everything with it! Some of my friends purposefully would just reinstall windows months after just installing it because they reported the registry gets garbled so easy and it's not worth the headache.

     

    I wonder why Microsoft products are doomed to eventual fail? It's probably a question that has no answer, except, Microsoft just sometimes sucks. Posted Image
