Last Album Listened To
Time

OKNOTOK (last year’s remaster of Radiohead’s OK Computer)

Have only listened to the remastered tracks from the original album, not the bonus disc, but damn I forgot how much I love this album. Didn’t notice anything off with the remaster, and it sounded very nice - might have to A/B with my original CD just to see what’s different about it.

You carry a switch-blade? What for? Are you auditioning for West Side Story?

I carry a switchblade. It’s useful, convenient, and pretty versatile. I’ve used it more often than I ever used any Swiss army knife I’ve ever owned, which are always cumbersome, feel fragile, and are rarely sharp enough for the thing I’m trying to use it for.

A thumb-knife with the same inside lock as my switchblade would be a good compromise for me if I were ever forced to give up the switchblade, though. But I can’t stand regular pocket knives with the rear lock, or any “multi-tool”/Swiss army knife I’ve ever used.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an intelligently written yet extremely vulgar book? I really want to read another book filled with wicked violence, repugnant sexual deviancy, and revolting situations but that still tells a fantastic story and has some fascinating message on the human condition.

Chuck Palahniuk’s work (writer of Fight Club) sounds like what you’re looking for. Check out Survivor, *Lullaby", or Diary. I’ve heard good things about Invisible Monsters but never read it.

Another suggestion would be Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction).

And of course you have one of my favorite books of all time, Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange.

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

It’s because you’re giving an absolute worst case scenario (people outright lying about everything about themselves in order to get in the other person’s pants) and presenting that as if it’s a universal truth for every person that ever goes on a date.

The reality isn’t so dark. Highlighting your good qualities while downplaying your bad ones is closer to a universal truth about dating, but that’s not the same thing as what you’re saying. What you’re saying sounds like people go on dates as characters they made up that are nothing at all like them.
