Chile is known for its excellent wine and it's ridiculously cheap. A bottle of wine for 'export' costs around $4 and some very fine bottles $5, $6 (when in, for example, USA are sold about $35-$40) Now Chile has tons of 'traditional' beer - at least 30 brands, each with 3-5 types to offer. The Oktoberfest and other Beerfests has gotten fairly massive and now in supermarkets you can choose among 30-40 different beers to go.

Some of my fav:

Kunstmann 'Gran Torobayo'.


Kross 5


Szot '1000 days'



edit: this should be posted on the beer thread, right?

Hey, Finnfags! Possibly good news about your copyright laws: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/vi ... yright-Law

You haven't truly lived until you've been trippin' on tin can fragments stuck behind your eyeball.

I had a bottle of this and some other Kunstmann types when I was there, good stuff indeed.


@inhumanist

That sounds Too Extreme for me!

In first year university it was the only beer the school store sold and it was cheap. After having bought about a dozen twelve packs I was drinking in the dorm with some friends and we were like why the hell are we drinking this crap? We made a pact to never buy it again and I've made good on that so far. Honestly I'd rather have a coors light or even a bud light lime and that's saying a lot.

Went canoeing on the canal today, good way to spend an afternoon.

There is a town in Colorado that is considering passing an ordinance authorizing "drone hunting season." Much like duck-hunting or deer-hunting season, it would allow for the town to grant hunting permits specifically for the purpose of shooting down drones. Unlike duck or deer hunting, the town would grant bounties to anyone who recovers the parts of the drone which survive. The permits are limited to 12-gauge shotguns or weaker and you can only fire on drones lower than 1,000 feet. Anyone who mistakes a remote-controlled toy airplane for a drone will be required to compensate the owner for the damaged toy, unless the craft was over the shooter's private property.

The permit is not limited to town residents; anyone who is allowed to own and shoot firearms in Colorado would be allowed to get a permit.

The county where Jack Daniels is made is a dry county, I went and toured the distillery there and you seriously can't have sample or pick something up (unless it's non-alcoholic) you have to leave the county. Also the town where I grew up is completely dry on Sundays and dry after something like 9pm on weekdays unless you're at a restaurant, yeah we don't have bars there.

I'm no moderator but yes, yes it should be posted there.

Can anyone think of any gross/offensive cover artwork where the music contained is actually good? I'd like to be proven wrong that it's just for gurgling sounding garbage.

Molestating The Decapitated comes at my mind, but who knows, maybe you will find it to be gurgling garbage too.

It depends. I'll give an example - Torsofuck is gurgling sounding garbage, the riffs are easily forgettable if at all distinguishable and the vocals sound like a whale or hippo regurgitating. No variety - no progression - no memorable aspects that make it worth discussing.

Animals Killing People comes to mind. One album cover I can stomach and more distinguishable riffs.

Carcass? Autopsy? Dismember's second album? Those are just the obvious ones.

Visceral Evisceration have gore artwork, but their album is rather awesome death/doom.

And yeah, I second Carcass.

Man, this article about how Epitaph Records is quickly veering downhill is totally spot on. I mean, they've never been my favourite label, but at least they used to have integrity and I will say they have put out a few great albums in their time. Now they're just embarrassing themselves with awful trendy stuff teenagers in their "scene" phase will think is, like, totally rad.

It doesn't matter what genre. It just has to be offensive, Dismember's second just barely makes it, but Symphonies of Sickness does because it's images of actual dead people although the music isn't what I'd consider great, it's passable compared to Torsofuck. Avoid obvious ones like Mayhem and the like. Also there's no need to upload the actual cover, the title is fine.

I absolutely love that the (presumably ex-)bassist for Gas Huffer shows up in the comments to that Vice article.

On offensive album covers vs. good music, I suppose it depends on what your definition of offensive is -- Acid Bath used the artwork of a serial killer for When the Kite String Pops, and while I have no idea if Gacy or his "estate" benefited financially from that, it could be construed as offensive.

As for gory, Impaled's The Dead Shall Dead Remain has a cover that is legitimately revolting and music that is legitimately amazing. Of course this depends on what your definition of "gurgling sounding garbage" is.

I gave an example up above. I like Impaled, they should hurry up and release a new record.

The sophomore featured artwork from Dr.Kevorkian and was banned in Australia as a result (however, the ban has been lifted since). Both of their albums are great.

Belphegor's first album is alright.

The abundance of euphemisms for pubescent self-exploring activities on this board is truly flabbergasting.

What is wrong with canoeing? I've done so once before, and I thought it was a very enjoyable experience.

nothing. he just meant it sounds like he was exploring his, or others', b-hole or something.

get your mind out of the gutter, people

To be fair, Napero's capacity to find sexual innuendo where none previously existed or even suggested itself exceeds that of normal human beings. The mushrooms have changed him.

When I see the word canal, all I see is cANAL. Fuck, man.

Or he's some sort of crotch god.

Calling Crotch God for my name next band name.

Or Uncle Nappy's Sex Dungeon

Crotch God would totally be a queercore band.

NAC is taking their sweet fucking time getting me the final cost w/ shipping for the Spewtilator / Coffin Dust split tape so I can arrange payment and it needs to ship tomorrow at the absolute latest UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

edit* Crotch God is an incredible band name

Dibs on the Sex Dungeon name if you don't use it. The man does indeed have an almost supernatural ability to turn innocent things into sexual innuendos.

New Jesu LP titled Every Day I Get Closer to the Light From Which I Came has been announced for September 24. Can't. Fucking. Wait. Supposed to be more like earlier material than Ascension, too!

My brother and I came up with the Jerry Seinfeld Bondage Cult once. If that's ever turned into a band, we should totally do a split.

All of them.

In all seriousness, I dunno, Cannibal Corpse? Defeated Sanity (who aren't actually good but most people insist that they are anyways)?

My future Grindcore band will be called "Vatican Sex Party"

So the new SubRosa is sounding pretty good:

Is this what he refers as his "sauna" in some of his posts?


I haven't heard any Jesu stuff past Silver, what's a good album of that period?

Poor Razakel...

Caspian probably took it with good humor, though.

Conqueror is essential.

The latest one, Ascension, is great.

The Zimmerman thread should not have been closed so early; there was still far more ground to cover, especially as the ongoing civil trials begin to heat up.
