Just finished Volume 5. Oh my god, it was fantastic. The books really pick up after v1 and they're super quick reads. Started reading Stephen King's 'The Stand' earlier.

My name is Zach. I am 30 years old and live in the Houston area with my wife, twin girls (turning 2 at the end of December) and a couple of kitties. I am a field service engineer for analytical lab instruments, so I office out of the house and am always on the go. A lot of time spent driving to various customer accounts around Houston and south/central Texas. Music: I have been listening to a lot of ambient/modern classical stuff lately. Been extremely stuck on Hammock 'Oblivion Hymns' and 'Mysterium'. Aside from those two, the only other Hammock record I have on vinyl is 'Everything and Nothing' so plenty of gaps there. Huge fan of Stars of the Lid, Eluvium, The Caretaker, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai, etc (pretty much complete collections for all of those). Derek also got me hooked on The National, and I've been really enjoying their latest album 'Sleep Well Beast'. I only have that one and 'Boxer' on vinyl. Also, the latest Twin Peaks series got me into some IDIB releases, so anything from them would be awesome--I don't have any full-lengths from Johnny Jewel or The Chromatics. Books: Favorite authors are Mark Z. Danielewski, Haruki Murakami, and David Mitchell. I've been trying to read a lot more, so anything in the same vein of kind of surreal post-modern fiction or even sci-fi would be awesome. Been meaning to check out some more PKD--only thing of his that I've read is 'Do Androids Dream...?' Same goes for Stephen King--I'm currently reading 'The Stand' and trying to work my way up to 'The Dark Tower'. Only other book by SK that I've read is 'Pet Sematary'. Film: HUGE fan of the Criterion Collection and art-house films in general. Terrence Malick and Richard Linklater are two of my favorite directors. Absolutely loved Blade Runner 2049. Games: Cuphead and Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Addicted. Just got an SNES Mini, so I've been playing a lot of retro games as well. Love old school Castlevania and Mega Man. TV: The Leftovers, Twin Peaks, Lost, Stranger Things Sports: HOUSTON ASTROS <3 (Game 5 of the WS was just about the death of me), Oklahoma Sooners, Manchester City Other randoms: I love local roasted coffee (medium roast, Guatemalans are usually my go-to) and hazy, hoppy NE IPA's (Trillium, Treehouse, etc), or bourbon aged stouts. Hope this helps! If you have any questions, please have the moderator contact me!! Thanks

So excited about this!!!!

not a very good pressing on this one unfortunately...

I went to his house show in Houston and it was incredible. A bit short, but it was well worth the money. Also, not sure I'd categorize it as post-rock. Much more on the ambient side. It was just Andy performing solo w/ Hotel Neon opening when I saw him.

I'm definitely going to, was going to wait until we actually got our SS though...

yes it was. so glad i saw it in cinemark XD. absolutely gorgeous.

Signed up, was scared I'd forget to.

Krombopolous Michael!!!! So happy it's easy to get online https://www.hottopic.com/product/funko-rick-and-morty-pop-animation-krombopulos-michael-vinyl-figure-2017-fall-convention-exclusive/11064586.html#q=Krombopolous%2BMichael&start=3

i listened once, but haven't really had the desire to revisit it.

I'm definitely in

Or Phoenix Person.

finale was a bit of a letdown

exactly. it's addicting. so play dark souls/bloodborne.

still looking

Looks like they made a bunch!!!

anyone camping out for the SNES mini? out of 3 orders placed, 1 actually went through and mine should be here by next Wednesday!

so bummed

same. got the circa fever again. probably my favorite since OLG.

that second song... it's good, but it seems very out of place.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I don't think it's too monotone but the production is very flat and muddled. I'm hoping that the vinyl will open it up a bit. Best guitars since the early days, they're just lost in the mix.

I'm really digging it. Gets better with every listen.

Was wondering if you'd ventured through that yet. If i had a dollar for every band Derek™ got me into, I'd have a lot of dollars.

this week's episode was insane!!! so good.
