dystopian cyberpunk short stories from the 90s are finally a reality and it's not as fun as I had assumed

@ifixcoinops Honeslty I had no idea they made a second album until today and I'm genuinely tempted to go check it out lol.

@avie yesyes, i will rectify, cause it deserves monies thrown at it

...actually I don't own a legit copy of that album even now lol. I copied it onto tape from my cousin's cd she had of it and listened to it until the damn tape got chewed up in my handmedown alba hifi system. e_e; (luckily I'd made a copy. Twin tapedecks baybeeeeeee!!!...but it didn't sound as good tho, cause, you know, analogue and sequential copying :< )

I should probably fix that.

like everyone was like "OH SHIT THIS IS A GREAT FUCKIN' TUNE I WANNA HEAR MORE OF THIS SWEET FUCKIN' TRANCE/TECHNO TRACK" and nope it's fuckin' crunchy guitars and screaming and anger and a sense of loss of self in a capitalist hellscape and struggling with gender identity and sexuality in a world that Does Not Want You To Exist, and that just... threw a lot of people, at the time.

Hell it threw ME out for a loop too. I rapidly grew to love it though, even though at the time I didn't know why.

i think honestly some of the blame for babylon zoo's "boy with the x-ray eyes" not doing so great as an album rests squarely on Levi jeans' corporation's shoulders, or more specifically whoever made the choice to alter and edit Spaceman to just be the sped up intro, rather than the actual song.

The song's a fuckin' banger, the entire album is amazing, doubly so now I'm older and ... well... also that I've Awakened My Gender as it were. But I think it got dismissed at the time due to Levis.

@Vordus @avie @maples @codl honestly, it's both. with only one of the two, it just wouldn't have the same effect.

Fu*ck it icon comms!!! Everyone told me like £22 (roughly $30 usd dollas) quid moneys would be ok

@Vordus @avie @maples @codl also something about certain google street view photos of buildings and signage makes the signs look photoshopped somehow

@Vordus @avie @maples @codl it is not, but god that absolutely is a whole ass open world zombie game building

@avie @Vordus @maples @codl town i mean. not cashies. i know what cashies look like now that I know the term

@avie @Vordus @maples @codl but of course it's eben so fucking long since I've been in the centre of town that... I have no idea what it lkooks like

@avie @Vordus @maples @codl ...oh my god, yep. this is it, just gotta call 'em cashies now. There's a huge one up here in sheff, or... well... there WAS?... never been in it but it looked massive, like, every time I saw it I was all "that WHOLE BUILDING is a cash converters!?" but apparently it was.
