DO IT FOR HIM 3

Back And There Again 2025

so yeah, my man max. i kinda always at least try the stuff nothugger is telling me to listen to Right NOW, such a great taste he has (except obviously any new nu metal shit and godawful "death" "cores", sorry man). any weird rap shit, goddamn darkstep jungle, varieties of nutthugger-metal™️, "oh-yeah-that-shit" that history forgot (he has an exceptionally good memory, that absolute guy), etc. etc. all due to his obsessively thorough listening routine (at least in the past) - he listens to A BUNCH of good shit from all over the best and obscure sources the internet can offer. so yeah, one day he casually name-dropped the ULCERATE, kinda obscure little dm-band directly from hobbiton, new zealand.

we here are very fond of any antipodean shiet, the people live literally on a different (side of the) planet and such! they are already weird even before trying anything, and wouldn't you know it, we here like WEIRD shit the best. australia obvi takes the lead: likes of ALCHEMIST for the best marsmen-metal in the business (they are kinda wack now, but still in the hearts); the rawest cellar-dwelling stuff? can't go further than BURIER ilk; PORTAL boys for the indecipherable metal bullshit? easily enough! (we'll see about that later this year); the complete weirdos in near-DS-scene over there? we know our man MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY; the absolute killer QUEST MASTER? tough shit! the tasmanian crazyman (the devil?) STRIBORG? i guess i proved my point.

but what if you wanna go further? like even farther, more remote? the absolute bonkers, the main psychos, the The Shit? you gonna have a new zealander.

what do we know of a (fictional) image of the green islands? of course mostly what, somewhat already past his prime, the prime minister of bad taste himself, the (re)turned king - pete jackson taught us! so hobbits, running through some talking woods to catch a hobbit, the angry eyes in the sky, volcanoes, giant birds, etc. hell yeah boys! (i can't recommend enough his movie BAD TASTE, srsly go watch it).

yeah well, enough segway, let's see ULCERATE. came early, gave them zealanders some money for the return trip (funny to think we are standing here on the old, but unrelated, zealand right across the globe). the big stage (for some reason? there are only two bands playing and both are kinda small. i expect less people than on SEMATARY lol. edit: i was wrong) at the pump-house opened early - some wackos and me already were standing in loose crowd. the awkward pause was filled with some evil ambient sounds in vein of SUNLUST's final level -The God Machine-; that's some creepy shit ngl.

the main attraction today - ULCERATE is death metal for the smart people, so in the pit are only nerds, some subtle creatures, coupla old uncfarts, some angry looking burly duders - the usuals, the ultimates ™️- all standing alone, clenching cheap (nothing is cheap in dk tho) beers, anxiously undulating on the spot.

we're waiting for pre-show guys from FANGE, sadly (or luckily) not a stand-up; going by the name - locals. (scratch that, only info pointing to some french (?) industrial (??) goodness (??????)).

well, shit, man. never don't unexpect the industrial i guess. FANGE is a pas de quatre playing extreme (?) french aggro-industrial - basically it is a bald music, so kinda angry, yeah, sure. the drummachine stomping while vocalist in undies bending like crazy; guitar trio playing something - the sound quality is kinda wack; and without proper noise warm-uping it all sounds very strange (that's separate from weird i must say). the extreme lyrics in french always sound especially angry so it fits; the whole ensemble contributing with shouts (mostly kicking the air tho, especially the one guitar guy looking like marat safin is very jumpy). some synths under that whole stomping shebang are kinda neat. but what is it to say about any industrial music? yeah.

well man it is not FEAR FACTORY (it is not a good example i know), but still. the fat riffs are hidden somehow behind kinda weak and samey machine-drums, too much movement on stage for that kinds of slow and stompy music (they say they are sludge, but sludge should be kinda swampy, warm and wet, you know? this here is a strike on a concrete factory kinda deal, dusty! yeah that's about as right). well, after all this hipping and hopping, les boys were dripping wet, that gonna help raise the dew point alright.

huh, they put the HEALTH kinda beat (from before they became wack), still didn't understand what guitar-duders were doing (except cross-fit). the vocalman looking his best french-stanley-sievers (the bald king with glorious mustache), other guy is looking like that bald clan from the vampire: the masquerade; the marat-safin-dude (with glorious name) was like he won the most angry jumper award; and the extra carrot-top-dude (the most expensive hair in the business). all in all - not bad, but kinda strange, at least thematically (nothing smart about this music). i'm still kinda confused about who there pressed the buttons.

alright, to celebrate (?) bought some cheap (??) tropical beer, let us continue the intelligent bald music evening. yeah, ULCERATE. in the depth of "technical" death metal stuff you can't go further weird than GORGUTS -obscura- with all the silly sounding guitar-torturing screeching noises. but fuck that, said new zealanders from ULCERATE, let's play ARTCORE death metal instead. yeah, you read that right: the wacky artsy "sludge" "post"-"metal" sound on a proper extreme metal rails; the long, fucked up, nasty heretical shit - and we are all for it here. the first album is the pure max hager-metal - weird and kinda sad; the last one is the most comfortable, easygoing extreme music about stabbing a god you can find - hell yeah LET'S GO!

the crowd are big, unexpectedly ULCERATE are BIG; everybody in the crowd are smart and smell nice; there's a grandma with kids, but mostly it is the bald kings central!

those new zealanders are some humble bald trio; the n-hugger asked to ask the bassist (an intelligent looking bespectacled man in black long-sleeve) about incorporating a stand-up routine before the set. nah, man, it's all too smart here, and the only thing we're getting is an industrial gym-session, sorry (but probably some fancy lucha libre sparring gonna fit better alright).

the drummer had more different drum-pieces than a musical instruments museum, like twice of everything and a lot of little cymbals lol, the guy gonna drum HARD.

pre-set were there the same -god machine- vibes for the extra awkward pause ™️, well, invocating the god is necessary for its stabbing i guess. anyway, still waiting, and i've only noticed - the guitar guys also have instruments to spare (it was a big hint).

so they opened with first track from the last album (only thing i recognized lol. well it figures: with the industrial capacity volume of stuff i listen to i can't remember any shit), big banger no notes, the real on-the-spot comforting music. the sound was lacking tho (i'm starting to blame my earplugs setup), i'm sure it depends on a standing spot you are listening from, but still kinda sad. anyway, the music was that smart, so it went around bad sound quality and you could hear all the instruments just fine - guitars were kinda screechy alright, and the drums, oh my, the drums. basically the main driving force, the drummer, went to town with all of his little cymbals and toms and shit, borderline mathematic but without any dissonance (?) and randomness - just focused, energetic, let's say geometric drumwork. you don't actually hear drums all that well on the records, so it was a pleasant surprise to hear live where all 'technique' comes from. and the music just works because of that. add good vocalwork, some fancy guitarplay and you get the extremely good ART. and it's just fun, ya know.

[...]

the beforehand-silent vocalist said "we have last song for you guys", they played some banger and left to the obvious encore shenanigans (obvious because they never used extra guitars during main set wink wink). it was some kind of an old hit song (i guess from the first album, 'cause i kinda recognised it, so we'll need a confirmation of that but i pointed the finger for maxhuger just in case), the drums were tame in comparison but still the pure marvel of musicianship. in conclusion we say - that shit slaps HARD, and as i'm a sucker for looking at drummers' work (failed in-my-dreams drummer myself), it's really worth seeing live, hell yeah!

the bassguy chucked his pick into the crowd around me i was apparently standing on it, because nobody seemed to manage to find it, except me (standing on it) and some brutal young guy whom i graciously gave the prise. being nice is cheap.

[y2ksnowglobe]

Fun fact: I call my liver specialist my Snake Doctor, because I can't be trusted to consistently remember the difference between hepatologists and herpatologists so why not cut out the middle man and make the mistake boldly and intentionally.

[facts-i-just-made-up]

what are fish

Fish are a prank by Ichthyoscratchi, the god of convergent evolution. There's not really such a thing as "fish," but rather a ton of various utterly unrelated creatures that all evolved into roughly the same thing. Just look at this:

That's a South Fudlian Skunkfish. Then look at this one:

That's NOT a North Fudlian Skunkfish! That's a Non-Reticulated Norwegian Loogiedrip. Not only are they not closely related, they are as genetically different from each other as humans are from bananas. And not even those humanoid fleshy bananas they have at Whole Foods. The old bananas like you see in Donkey Kong Country games.

How about these two here:

Think they're the same species? Nope. Not even the same genus, family, order, class, or even phylum. On the left is a Phlebotomous Zebraflanked Wooting Cludslurper, on the right is a Spood. One is edible. Other kills you if you smell it across a high school gym.

"Fish," what a scam.

[science-bastard]

do you think a god can be milked or perhaps phlebotomized? asking for research purposes

[arctic-hands]

For someone who's been phlebotomized 3 times in the last week, I sure have a lot of blood whenever I get the tiniest knick on my fingers

Phlebotomized, "Desolate Wasteland"

Madddd shit

Song: Subtle Disbalanced Liquidity by Phlebotomized

[naomiknight-17]

Did my rehab class and resistance training and as much cardio as I could handle, then went straight to the blood clinic to get phlebotomized (that's a word now I have decided)

So as soon as I finish up the disability paperwork I didn't get to yesterday, I am gonna be taking it easy the rest of the day I think

[icepixie]

Tried to have an MRI with contrast just now. I say "tried" because the tech stuck me six times and still couldn't get a vein. He was also pretty aggressive about pounding on the joints to get the vein to pop up, so now both my elbows and both my wrists ache considerably. I suspect user error, since while I'm a slightly harder stick than average, I'm not that hard. The downside about an after hours appointment is he was the only one there who could phlebotomize so no one else could take a whack at it.

Hopefully the non-contrast version they were able to get is enough to rule out anything dire. My hierarchy of desired outcomes is:

My infected tooth was behind all the headache/face ache business and pulling it has fixed everything;

MRI reveals something anatomical that's easily fixable with no complications;

It's migraine, and whatever migraine meds we throw at it will work with a minimum of trial and error.

I finished my post-tooth-extraction/AS flare steroids on Tuesday. My face still hurts, but it's largely around where the tooth was pulled, not further up, so I think I can attribute it to the tooth extraction rather than weird headache disorder. (From experience, I have at least another week and possibly up to four more weeks of pain to go. Hooray for nervous system sensitization due to chronic pain.) I won't trust that it was the tooth all along until at least another month has passed, though.
