I love almost everything Omar related, even though I'm still missing most of the Ipecac album (so something like 20+ out of 60+, how does he manage all that?!). I just wanted to point out how a single genre evolved in only 20 years, although I'll admit I don't listen to that many post-hardcore bands, so feel free to correct me 😄

The history of Wonder Girl is a confusing one, but initially Diana was the first Wonder Girl. Makes sense — before Wonder Woman she would have been Wonder Girl, right? But eventually Wonder Girl became a mantle for other women in DC so it became weird trying to distinguish them, especially since in some issues Wonder Woman would interact with younger versions of herself. Nowadays, Wonder Girl is pretty much totally separate from Diana, but we still have to look at the original outfit. Should the grown Wonder Woman have kept her childhood duds? It's absurd how many genres and styles he's touched upon, and he's made a lot of stuff I hadn't heard from anyone before him (like his more electronic albums, for example Octopus Kool Aid and Un Corazón De Nadie). Obviously of all the states they could skip they're skipping Italy, but I hope I'll be able to see them in Berlin! Yeah man, I feel like there are a fair number of metaphors in Jon's lyrics, because of the end lyrics in "Betrayed by the Game" he says "Because I can say that it was all just a metaphor". I'd go into detail but this comment is so long already haha Agreed, Mothership as a whole is fantastic: it's got the poppy stuff, the funky stuff, the super heavy stuff...basically everything in theor repertoire is there!

clvr I actually only have a realistic MIDI of one of my non acoustic song, but I'll link you as I'm recording it next week. I used to play an acoustic cover of A Sweater Poorly Knit by Mewithoutyou when I gigged and had their first 2 CD albums But I'll definitely be on the lookout for a lyric breakdown as I never really sung any other than Sweater. I heard them before it, but I think Mars Volta accrued a decent following after they were on one of the Guitar Hero games. Elephant in the Room was crazy haha Good stuff! Reminded me of some parts of Plini and Sithu Aye as well. Saved it on my Youtube playlist. I haven't heard much Dream Theatre, but Jon Petrucci did something called Guitar Universe 2.0 which basically has him, Rusty Cooley, Tony MacAlpine, Tosin Abasi, Jason Richardson and a host of other good guitarists just jamming together on stage and I've given it a good amount of listens. yeah you can generally get what he means, but oftentimes he's so out there it's hard to believe there's some deeper meaning beneath it 😅

Still, at times Deodato also lets the prurient art style run amok. There's no better example than when Artemis is brutally beaten by the White Magician. Artemis' Wonder Woman costume is ripped to shreds and she's tossed around like a well-endowed rag doll. And of course she maintains her alluring sensuality even when being pummeled. It reminds you of the "Death of Superman" showdown with Doomsday, except here it's filtered through a pure fanboy drool-worthy style. Eventually, her thong is just a string of fabric, held together by a few worn threads, and her bustier is torn to pieces, exposing huge portions of her breasts. In fact, Deodato strategically places the rips where nipples should appear—but if he was going to draw them in, DC editorial must've nixed the idea. Nevertheless, it's gratuitously executed, obviously meant to titillate. You can imagine the slobbering '90s male readers stammering, "Look, you can see her boobs!!" Ugh. Also, if you like Saosin and Secret and Whisper, I want to throw one more band out there that I'm sure you'll like; 'The Sound of Us' by A Lot Like Birds. Some of their others songs are good technically as well, polyrythms and time signature changes and all that, but that one is catchy I basically meant how it changed from the 90's, where it was more melodic/emo/punk (Fugazi, The Get Up Kids, At The Drive-In) to the more scream-focused form it took from 2003/2005 onward (Saosin, Dance Gavin Dance, The Fall Of Troy; plus spoken word acts like La Dispute, mewithoutYou and Fear Before); and to the 10's, nowadays a lot of bands incorporate synths everywhere, use that metal-sounding low string notes instead of power chords and tend to be very overproduced. Finally Tides of Man are also playing here this year! I only recently heard of them from the Bandsintown app (great app if youre a regular gig goer btw) suggesting me them, then I heard an old song and was like "hold on a second... I know that voice and face!". HahaWe believe that women's underwear should make you feel confident. That's why we've created a collection of thongs that are both. Shop all of our women's underwear to find the perfect pair for everyday wear that suits your style and personality. We have a range of thongs that will make you feel confident and empowered. Our fabric is top-notch, so you can be assured that our thongs will provide ultimate comfort throughout the day. clvr Ahh yeah! Polyphia are awesome, I suppose they have a decent mix of sounds with the new stuff and probably would have been better to mention first. Haha The other ones I know are Chon, Intervals and Save Us From the Archon that are kinda like those others. If you have 32 minutes to spare, though, by all means listen to "Cassandra Gemini", which has to be one of my favorite songs of all time. It's just crazy. I've heard of Chiodos but I never liked them nor their singer to be honest 😅 it's a shame too cause he's also collaborated with The Sounds Of Animals Fighting, one of the craziest act I've ever listened to, but I just can't seem to enjoy his voice. Weird cause I like a lot of high-pitched singers, but usually I either like them a lot or they annoy me 😅 Awesome, I think 'Said the King to the River' was my favourite, as much as I liked the other 2. Had a hard hitting chorus and such speedy rhymes and vocal rhythms
