Yeah looks like whoever did their youtube page fucked up! Prolly has something to do with mj being legal in MI, lel.
As for why I like this album, it's just chock full o bangers
1 Intro - this is hilarious. their best intro
2 The Mighty Death Pop - the guitar hook (sampled from Hot Chocolate Every 1's a Winner) is just amazing
3 Night Of The Chainsaw - a decent song, but weaker than the others
4 Chris Benoit - classic. really amazing. lots of great singalong parts. the version with Ice Cube and Scarface is outstanding too
5 The Blasta - a great "story" song. I like the "laughter" samples too
6 Kickin’ Kickin’ - one of the weaker songs
7 Bazooka Joey - a classic. every time I hear this I picture a really cartoony video... it's hard to explain. sometimes that horn-beat-march part plays in my head randomly during the day
8 Shooting Stars - another story song. had some nice rhymes, tho the backing track is kinda weak
9 Juggalo Juice - how can you not like a "juggalo lore" song like this ? lel
10 Hate Her To Death - not one of their best, i think they were trying to make a hit single or something
11 Skreeem! - an OK song, tho it sounds a lot like an Outkast cover or something
12 Ghetto Rainbows - another OK song
13 When I’m Clownin - used to listen to this a lot before I really got into ICP
14 Dog Catchers - just really funny, and has a great backing track
15 Daisies - another song with a great backing track
16 Where’s God? - I find myself quoting this one a lot online
17 Forever - really different. dunno what to say, but it's nice
18 untitled hidden track (recording bloopers) - I don't think I've ever listened to this. I must have cut it off of my playlist
the three "extra" albums are of varying quality. tho it's pretty impressive that ICP makes so much material that they can just provide 3 extra albums on this already-pretty-long release.
I think I watched that episode with my lil' cousin back in the day, bc I vaguely remember learning the word "deputation" (i.e. a representative, who was making the demands).
Robocop, I think, tbh I got bored halfway through the remake and quit watching.
aw yeah true, I miss the Subway of the 90s, the food was noticeably better and worth the money. Over the past 20 years they just kept taking shortcut after shortcut and now it takes like stuff you could take out of the freezer yourself.
Look closer, and you'll see that obviously she's a centaur and only lost her back legs. Probably in the recent Centaur-Pirate Wars. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centaur-Pirate_Wars
Most of the background wojaks are weeping, only one looks kinda mad.
I get whatcha saying, but there was this place I used to go that would make this awesome Torta Oaxaqueña (various Mexican food in a hamburger-like bun) that I don't think I coulda ever made myself.
As an aside, pairing toraichi and jika tabi is also popular with Japanese construction workers.
I was like: really? Don't they need to have steel-toed boots? But according to wikipedia , they do indeed make steel-toed jika tabi!
Wynona Rider as Mina was just... horrible...
Dracula (1931) with Bela Lugosi - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021814/
Sure, it doesn't have Marvel-style special effects(tm) and the characterization isn't that great; in fact the "flying bats" and Lugosi's acting are kinda cringe these days... BUT... it's the standard by which all subsequent movies must be measured.
Reminds me of that anime Hyouge Mono, about a Sengoku-period nobleman who's really into aesthetics. Occasionally the anime will pop into that exaggerated-slightly-grotesque-face aesthetic as a reaction shot.

This is an ancient meme, well over 10 years old, perhaps born on Facebook? I've been looking up these older memes, to learn their secrets and thus to become a better memecrafter.
Can you identify them all? On Bluesky the alt text identified them as...
Alternative responses to "I Love You" from top left to bottom right: Robert Smith "Thanks.", Nik Fiend "Yeet", Andrew Eldrtich "Why.", Siouxsie Sioux "Who Doesn't", Nick Cave "I'm sorry.", Ian Curtis "A horrible decision, really", Carl McCoy finger guns, Peter Murphy "I know."

Not disparaging anyone (on the contrary I kinda like Punk Rave, I got a couple of their t-shirts) I just thought the historical notes were kinda interesting.
The idea for the Vampira character was born in 1953, when [Maila] Nurmi attended choreographer Lester Horton's annual Bal Caribe Masquerade in a costume inspired by as-yet-unnamed Morticia Addams in The New Yorker cartoons of Charles Addams. Her appearance with pale white skin and tight black dress caught the attention of television producer Hunt Stromberg Jr., who wanted to hire her to host horror films on the Los Angeles television station KABC-TV, ... The name Vampira was the invention of Nurmi's husband, Dean Riesner. Nurmi's characterization was influenced by the Dragon Lady from the comic strip Terry and the Pirates and the evil queen from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.[20][21] ...
The Vampira Show premiered ... May 1, 1954. ... Each show opened with Vampira gliding down a dark corridor flooded with dry-ice fog. At the end of her trance-like walk, the camera zoomed in on her face as she let out a piercing scream. She then introduced (and mocked) that evening's film while reclining barefoot on a skull-encrusted Victorian couch. Her horror-related comedy antics included ghoulish puns, such as encouraging viewers to write for epitaphs instead of autographs, and talking to her pet spider Rollo.
In one publicity stunt, she ran as a candidate for Night Mayor of Hollywood with a platform of "dead issues". In another, KABC had her cruise around Hollywood in the back of a chauffeur-driven 1932 Packard touring car with the top down, where she sat, as Vampira, holding a black parasol. The show was an immediate hit, and in June 1954 she appeared as Vampira in a horror-themed comedy skit on The Red Skelton Show along with Béla Lugosi and Lon Chaney Jr.[23] That week, Life magazine ran an article on her, including a photo spread of her show-opening entrance and scream.
When her KABC series was cancelled in 1955,[21] Nurmi retained rights to the Vampira character and took the show to a competing Los Angeles television station, KHJ-TV. ...
Examination of Nurmi's diaries in 2014 by filmmaker and journalist R. H. Greene verified longtime rumors that in 1956 she was the model for Maleficent, the evil witch in the Disney conception of the classic fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty." A Disney archivist subsequently confirmed these findings. ...Nurmi made television history as the first horror movie hostess. In 1957, Screen Gems released a syndicated package of 52 horror movies, mostly from Universal Pictures, under the program title Shock Theater. Independent stations in major cities all over the U.S. began showing these films, adding their own ghoulish host or hostess (including Vampira II and other lookalikes) to attract more viewers.
In 1981, Nurmi was asked by KHJ-TV to revive her Vampira character for television. She worked closely with the producers of the new show and was to get an executive producer credit, but eventually left the project over creative differences. ... Unable to continue using the name Vampira, the show was abruptly renamed Elvira's Movie Macabre with [Cassandra] Peterson playing the titular host.

There's also an interesting anecdote where James Dean met up with her because he "had studied The Golden Bough and the Marquis de Sade, and ... was interested in finding out if this girl was obsessed by a satanic force" and was kinda disappointed to find out that she wasn't. (apparently they were still friends, tho...)
Hey, it's been great following your and @Myr@lemmy.world 's posts on !thrashmetal@lemmy.world. tbh thrash isn't my main style, tho I've like most of the songs I've listened to, and the album covers are always killer!
But i can relate to the "burn-out" of constant posting, I felt the same after doing near-daily music posts for like 8 months elsewhere. Now on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world and !juggalos@lemmy.world I've found a couple things help: doing posts that are pics (of fans, bands, memes, comics) as well as music posts; scheduling posts ahead of time using piefed.social; limiting myself to 1-2 posts a week; OR limiting myself to posting only after someone else has already posted something (so I'm not the only one posting); OR not posting if I just don't feel like it; talking to people on the weekly "how is everyone doing with their communities" thread on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip.
Anyway, glad to see y'all aren't letting yourselves go bonkers over this, and glad to see you'll still be around!
