Woah are you a Steven Wilson guy or something?

Going to work everyday in NYC at a wine shop (an "essential" business) is getting pretty taxing. The only reason it's classified as essential, as far ...

I haven't actually read that one, just know it takes place at the south pole...do enjoy the Lovecraft mythos though, just now finishing up The Dreamqu...

hmmm this is true.

Anyone else working a retail job 5 days a week right now? Nah? Philosophy is easy when you're "quarantined". :party:

Defontes can be a mixed bag; my recommendation would be to skip the famous Nicky's Special and just get the Italian Combo instead; it's way better. Le...

I had some really good Venezuelan food in Astoria years ago. I live 10 minutes away from Lucali, but I've still only been once. Definitely some of the...

The food game is/was strong, though, but I guess that's on hold... I live in Red Hook, and I feel like there's a similar reaction to my area as well.
March 21, 2020 at 02:20
Ah yes, as the old saying goes..."I love Astoria! But I never go there..."

At a wine shop in the Bed Stuy area. You?
March 21, 2020 at 02:14
Apparently we count as "essential", so business will continue... Stocked up on non-perishables today, and am about to pickle a bunch of veg. Somehow p...

It's possible. We're doing record numbers this week at work, but it's clearly more ominous than anything. It's a bizarre feeling. And I don't feel saf...

Why'd they turn the song off?

NYC is definitely stressing; the wine shop i work at did holiday numbers today, and the grocery stores were picked over. :party:

I give it the greenlight. Thank me later.

As a millennial I find that repulsive.

Interesting, I've found that I agree with you 75% of the time or so on the art stuff, but someone like 180 Proof is someone I've disagreed with a lot ...

Sam's analysis of religion is pretty embarrassing.

This poem didn't hit me as hard, but this stanza did, but maybe only because it's very musical. But also the phrase "like an eagle that one sees alway...

Nothing like a rich, entitled and high maintenance customer to suck your soul out for the day. Gotta love the retail game.

Lol, you can't just tack the word "existential" unto the same argument you made awhile back and call it a response to what I laid out about roles. No ...

This is so absurd. Artist and audience member are roles; clearly an artist can play multiple roles. An artist might also be their own PR person, as is...

No "nothing", no "something", and no "everything". What does that leave us with? The bans would leave the forum empty, at best.

Man, it's rare for me to agree so much with someone here, but I really do feel that you're speaking my own mind here, and it's very encouraging, which...

Rhetoricity and schadenfreude aside, how messed up do you have to be to not treat another human being as a human being?
March 01, 2020 at 04:31
In other words, you must have missed all of this: What's amusing here is we have 3 actual artists trying to demonstrate these aspects of our work, and...
March 01, 2020 at 04:24
No, as I and Coben have said, the artist themselves is an audience member to their own work, so it's faulty to say that no audience is required. Actua...

Met Breuer was trash. Two small floors worth of disgusting modern art. Nothing requiring skill.

Yes, art as fundamentalist worldview; apologetic art, wether religiously apologetic, atheistically apologetic, or otherwise.
