Well done, Bluelighters, what a terrific site you all have put together here!
Stumbled across it a few times via Google when I was looking into various matters (esp. mephedrone, DMT, tina, poppers, cooking crack, testing purity.) The internet is such a boon to research. When I got started all information came locally and in the flesh. So I appreciate the expanded perspective.

Figured, let me not be an anonymous lurker too long, thus I registered.

Quite a few years ago I was a daily IV heroin and cocaine user until the folly of youth led me to rehab. LSD was also a major favorite that got quite out of hand: there were a few unfortunate handcuffs-and-Halidol-episodes.

Last time I smoked ready rock all night I loved it, especially with the ever-pleasant xanax come down (and the event represented a relapse after 15+ years). I don't hang out with anyone anymore who's into the hard party-all of my friends are in recovery- this trip to bluelight is like a clandestine operation inspired by the ole urges coming on strong and so far this "research" is a vicarious thrill akin to porno.

I feel like a goof because things are done very differently in the streets nowadays.

Other pursuits typically include making music, powerlifting, and bibliophilia.

Thanks in advance for the warm welcome.
 
1. Thanks for the welcome Captain Heroin.

2. re: inevitable: "bibliophilia" =a silly way to say I love books; that I read/acquire them obsessively/compulsively.
 
Capt.H:
I have not read Atlas Shrugged. I'd like to familiarize myself as I know it's an important text for many people and often the impetus of contentious exchange.

I respect the noise genre but I haven't spent much time exploring it.

.....Just to toss back a specific reference point for each of your inquiries:

example of typical reading habits--
The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes


example of typical listening habits-- Amon Duul II

Click to expand...

I strongly suggest listening to Merzbow, or checking out my own noise project here. The first track that starts playing - I made this with a broken guitar, and my computer.

The best Merzbow albums I would recommend for a newcomer to the noise genre:

Aka Meme
Eucalypse
Merzzow
Offering
Timehunter
Worker Machine
Zara

I will forewarn you, Offering is not well balanced in the sense of volume changes. The others are less harsh. If you're brave enough to listen to Merzbow's harsh noise, I would start with Metamorphism.
 
Bibliophiles unite! Personally, I'm really getting tired of Amazon and Barnes and Noble pushing their eReaders on me. Sure, it's convenient, but there's nothing more satisfying than the smell of a new book. I'm a collector, I won't be happy if they're all stored as data on a little screen.

What is the 'noise' genre? I'm always looking to expand my horizons and this is new to me! I'll be looking up those names you mentioned!

I'm new here, too, by the way. The name's Swings. Great to meet ya!
 
Merzbow, yes, heard of them for sure. Read about them in a book calledAudio Culture: Readings In Modern Music (publ by Continuum 2004)--. If that link had mp3s I couldn't get to them probably because my OS is too old and doesn't get any respect from the interwebs anymore. I was able to hear your blog tracks however. Bugged out stuff!

Swings: exactly. I can't happily separate the text from the object, much like my resistance to the state of recorded music. I like books and records as objects. Stable, tangible, sensual, specific. They exist without another machine, albeit a record needs a phonograph, speaker, and amplifier to reveal its audible content. I don't like those ereaders at all. I like the feel of paper and the ability to turn to any page instantaneously, and back again. I like to see the spines on display on my shelves or stacked up haphazardly from the floor to the ceiling. And yes the smell too! I like to be able to reach up and flip open one and then another and also each holds a charge of personal history as i flash on when and where I was, chronologically, geographically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, culturally, when I first encountered the book in question.
 
Green and Blue Miles Davis Too

I think somone PM'd me in this thread from South Cackalackey sooo... I'm gonna post I'm bored

Whatsup man I trolled this site for a long while too. But the people here are great.

Noise Music ..... Do you mean like dillinger escape plan and things like that or is that considered "math rock" so many subgenres... you could try out the newest Thurston Moore/Sonic Youth albums they are primarily experimental noise/art rock I love Sonic Youth but their new shit is more like arthouse trash imo. A GGGGGGGGGREEEEEAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT noise band imo is.... COMETS ON FIRE...they dont fit typical noise subgenre but are a good band. They actually or most of the members formed Howlin Rain....completely different sound. I make my own electronic music, and have been for a while. I used to rap actually and do alot of the instrumentals digitally for local rap/hip-hop artists. I am no gangsta however. We tried doing acoustic/electro covers of songs for a while but were well not appreciated by our Bible Belt audience.

And Atlas Shrugged.... is not my cup of tea..... Philosophically.. I am a complete and utter nihilist or try and tell myself such but read Henry Miller - Tropic of Cancer Albert Camus - The Plague, Exile and the Kingdom Bill Hicks/Books about him Richard Dawkins - The Greatest Show On Earth Ethan Brown - Snitch: Informants, Cooperators & the Corruption of Justice and some on the subject of the substance you mentioned, drogas.. which I guess Snitch would fall under... are Mike Jay's - High Society Mind-Altering Drugs in History in Culture Tom Felling's - Cocaine Nation: How the White Trade Took Over the World Martin Torgoff's - Can't Find My Way Home: America in the Great Stoned Age 1945-2000 Those are just a few and they aren't anything you need to be a chemist to understand.
 
I like Camus. The Stranger is my favorite.
