Political implications of women hating the band Rush?

>>22882746 (OP)
Never seemed to stop the band, I'm cool with it

>>22882747
Oh really?

>>22882746 (OP)
I knew a guy who was not that interesting but based his whole personality around liking the band rush

asd

>>22882749
Did you know any girls like that?

>Rush is from Canada
>Canada is full of poos
>women hate poos.

>>22882751
No all the girls i know are dope and do dope shit because i am dope

>>22882752
Lack of hygiene might be the reason.

>>22882746 (OP)
>implications
Rush tried to be intellectual
Women hate intelligence.

>>22882755
They hate pseuds

>>22882746 (OP)
99% of women don't have good taste in music. Only men are capable of it.

>>22882755
Maybe some women felt creeped out about the fact that Geddy Lee sounded like a woman (through tape manipulation or through falsetto)? He looked like one too.

>>22882759
>>They don't stop in the middle for a rap, instead they stop for the drummer to do weird stuff
Ummmm... Roll The Bones???

>>22882759
its this plus geddy lee's voice

>>22882749
Many such cases. I had an ultra sperg friend growing up who did the same thing. I don't think he was ever able to recover.

>>22882761
I cannot believe this exists. What are the odds? Fucking KEK, thanks for being a Rush nerd and opening my eyes.

>>22882746 (OP)
IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DECIDE YOU STILL HAVE MADE A CHOICE

>>22882746 (OP)
Rush is the most soiboy band ever so its no wonder that it dries womens pussy up. You want to scare bitches tell them you like gay shit like The Tragically Hip or Leonard Cohen too.

>>22882766

Cat Stevens is pussy repellent too.

>>22882746 (OP)
Incel thread
>>22882759
Ive never heard a woman say any of those things

>>22882767
He is a fucking Muslim too.

>>22882768
Did you assume my sex (gender)?

There’s just some music women hate. It’s usually always prog, jazz, math rock, post rock. You’ll find those genres have the most men

>>22882765
YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM PHANTOM FEARS AND KINDNESS THAT CAN KILL

>>22882768
>Ive never heard a woman say any of those things
You've probably never heard a woman talk about Rush at all.
>>22882767
Checked

I never saw Ronnie James Dio and his fans complain about the lack of pussy.

>>22882746 (OP)
Neil is the only reason we care.

>>22882774
Queensryche didn't complain about the same thing, either.

Rush would have a running joke where they would count how many women were in the crowd. It was always very, very low. On a related note, I got shot by Neil Peart once, by the t-shirt guns at the end of the show.

>>22882777
>, I got shot by Neil Peart once, by the t-shirt guns at the end of the show.
WHAT?????

>>22882746 (OP)
My wife likes Rush and Yes tho

>>22882775
And Geddy and Alex?

>>22882774
Heavy metal was commercially popular at the time and not inherently repellent to women like prog rock is. So for people that were young back in that era, it was not a problem. But metal is absolutely not cool today (at least in the states) and I guarantee some zoomer listening to Dio today would be repelling about as muc pussy as the Rush fan.

>>22882779
Good for her.

>>22882759
>I just can't groove with it
>Most air drummed song in the entire world and it isn't even close
Pick one

I get uuuuuuuuuuuuuup, I get doooooown.

>>22882783
You've seen a woman air drum?

>>22882785
That's their problem. It's not for lack of groove.

>>22882773

I wasted quints on a Cat Stevens post.

>>22882781
Do you have any proof that prog rock is a chick repellent?

>>22882746 (OP)
It's a musical circus. Though it's done tastefully it's too noisy for women, if it's loud it has to be sexy and Rush is anything but
>>22882762
>its this plus geddy lee's voice

>>22882788
It isn't. Just not every woman is into it. For example, my wife likes Mr. Bungle and Polkadot Cadaver, shit which I can't really stand, just like how I enjoy Greep to her chagrin. It's an exchange.

>>22882788
The gender ratio in the crowds of prog rock bands

>>22882746 (OP)
>women
It's shitty prog rock. Roundabout by Yes is 10x better than faggot sawyer by rush.

>>22882781
Chicks dig satan for sure.

>>22882778
T-shirt cannons. The band shot a bunch at the end of the show and I thought no way one would reach but it did and hit me in the chest.

>>22882790
>Mr. Bungle
Lol your wife thinks about Mike Patton when she fucks you.

>>22882774
Dio and his fans are proudly gay. He made Judas Priest singer look straight.

>>22882794
>T-shirt cannons
This shoots T-shirts as clothing???

>>22882796
>Dio and his fans are proudly gay. He made Judas Priest singer look straight.
So women are attracted to gay stuff?

The older stuff is great. The later stuff... not so great. Signals was the last fantastic album. It got progressively worse after that. Pun intended.

>>22882799
To me it's Power Windows.

>>22882795
>Never seen Mike Patton
>Google him
>motherfuckerthatsME.jpeg
Feels good man.

>>22882792
Tom Sawyer is like the simplest Rush song of that era. Compare it to Freewill or Natural Science or something. I think it's probably impossible to like Yes and not like Rush or vice versa. Seems if you get one, you should automatically get the other one.

>>22882799
implying Grace Under Pressure isn't god-tier

>>22882791
That's any rock band that's not hair metal though, really.

>>22882746 (OP)
Nigel Farage was in Rush???

>>22882746 (OP)

Prog always scares hoes. Nothing political about it, it’s human nature.

>>22882796
nigga was married with children

>>22882746 (OP)
Women hate prog rock in general.
Just play Heart of the sunrise by Yes and watch her pussy dry up and shrivel, or I suppose get the ick as zoomers would say.

>>22882807
But play And You and I and watch her tear up.

>>22882808
I did that when I was driving two zoomette colleagues to work, they could care less.
And you and I is a fucking masterpiece that lifts up your soul, a celebration of life, a love song without the word love in it.

>>22882802
Song structure is not the only thing i care about. Yes vocals are better.

>muh dis scares the hoes
Idealy a woman should pretend to like anything you do to impress you.
You simps are inverting the logic because you cant manage to atract a foid, or are not satisfied with the foids you atract

>>22882810
Well sure Jon Anderson is a better vocalist than Geddy Lee. Nobody is going to dispute that. But you wouldn't just slap Jon Anderson over Rush's songs and expect it to sound good.

>>22882810
I recently went to see Jon Anderson play with his new band. They were actually good and he's still got it even in his 70s. A few years prior I saw Yes without him (or Wakeman) and it was only a year later that Chris Squire died. At least I kinda got to see almost the whole band in a way. It's a shame Jon Anderson is such an insufferable cunt that they couldn't stay together for longer and make more albums.

>>22882813
*it's Steve Howe and Chris Squire who motherfucking dumped Jon Anderson. Get your info right. Jonny got sick of asthma.

In this case, women are right. Love their music. But Ged and Peart are big time libs. Based Alex might not be IDK.

>>22882746 (OP)
Some boomers and older GenXers at my work love Rush. They would always wear band shirts and go on aboutRrush this and Rush that and this song I had played at my wedding. So one day I got a best of rush CD for like 4-5 bucks and listened to it on the way back from work. There was I think one good song on there. It is just shit music. Don't know if women hate it but I don't think anyone younger than 40 has ever heard of this band.

>>22882811
They already pretend to have human emotions, what more do you want from them?

>>22882746 (OP)
Something is telling me it's because they are all extremely ugly.

I still like the band, though.

>>22882746 (OP)
If I had a nickel for everytime I heard Gershon Elizer Weinrib whine about the holohoax, I could build a very large camp with several ovens.

>>22882746 (OP)
If women don't like the who the hell does?

My mom likes their 80's synth era

>>22882813
>It's a shame Jon Anderson is such an insufferable cunt that they couldn't stay together for longer and make more albums.
Many such cases. I'm more of a metal guy and this happens incredibly often with those bands too. Many of the metal people kill themselves of get shot too.

>>22882819
Worse, Geddy Lee (Gershon Eliezer Weinrib aka Gary Lee Weinrib) whined about how all Poles were antisemitic and none of us Rush fans. On My Effin' Life.

>>22882821
>80's synth era
Disco is the best 80s cokehead music. Hair metal is 2nd, prog rock after those.

>>22882746 (OP)
This band is the greatest thing Canada ever gave to the world? Why do they dry up pussies like the Sahara?

Why does this polish faggot periodically make anti-RUSH threads?

>>22882816
>I don't think anyone younger than 40 has ever heard of this band.
In terms of boomer rock bands that can reach to younger generations, Rush is one of the most well known for sure. I mean yeah zoomers don't listen to rock in general so most wont' know, but the ones that actually do for sure know Rush.

>be me
>go to Grace Under Pressure tour (1984)
>sit in balcony

Rush spoke to everyone.

>>22882746 (OP)
Rush is like a magic the gathering meet up or whatever, women will never understand them and I’m glad.

>>22882746 (OP)
Their songs are like 12 minutes long. The average woman has an attention-span that craps out after about 35 seconds.

>>22882816
Rush is ok. They're not my favorite or anything. When I was in high school there was a clique of bros who all loved both Rush and Iron Maiden. If you didn't think those two bands were the pinnacle of music, you were retarded to them. Then Guns & Roses came out and they all flocked to that like sheep and stopped wearing Iron Maiden shirts.

>>22882746 (OP)
As easily solved forever through impersonal engineering and readily available infrastructure.

Specifically, by putting women into barns, where they will be bred and milked to the full extent of efficiency granted by human Zootechnics, and then unceremoniously disposed of with a pneumatic needle when their bodies are spent and unproductive.

>>22882831
>going to Guns & Roses from Iron Maiden and Rush
what a downgrade kek

>>22882833
2 minutes to midnight - awesome song.
That whole album is good, otherwise i don't like iron maiden.

>>22882834
It's kinda boring and samey to be quite honest.

>>22882816
It's just fucking jewy. They sacrifice the point of music, the feel, for mathematical technicalities. It's fucking boring.
t. GenXr

>>22882746 (OP)
They're awful

>>22882832
So are you just going to sprinkle this vomit into all the threads?

I fucking love Rush but theyre definitely a nerd band

>>22882839
If you're going to like 10 minute songs, why not just listen to something actually good like opeth.

>>22882828
That's been my experience as well. Everyone in my band has pretty different music tastes. I'm the nerd that listen obscure prog shit and there's another guy that likes gay metalcore, but we all love Rush. You just have to have a Y chromosome of course.

>>22882826
this Polish faggot likes Rush, just not the fact they never played here.

>>22882838
I have to maximize a limited time frame to post.

>>22882836
The only Jewy thing about them is Poland-hatred.

>>22882837
You will never be a woman!

>>22882840
That's a pretty wild opinion. I would wager like 99% of Opeth fans also listen to Rush.

>>22882746 (OP)
Geddy used to stop by the same deli I go to for a coffee and schmear, and we’d chat about the Jays. He’s a mensch.

>>22882816
My 9yo son loves Rush. He always asks for it in the car. He asked me if Rush was the most popular band in the world and I told him lots of people like Rush but way more people hate Rush. He was super confused and I had to explain to him that Geddy's voice and their prog song structure turn a ton of people off of them. He still doesn't understand lol

I can't really listen to Opeth any more, have most of their stuff though. Prefer Enslaved for prog metal, and black over death

>>22882847
Is baseball the only thing he is interested in? I think talking about only sport is not cool. I'd chat about music, art, geopolitics, history, nature etc.

>>22882856
I fucking dig it! Shame Mark Shelton died. At least they played in Poland!

>>22882846
Not wild. Many metal people like me get groomed into liking the soft rock opeth write now, but not rush.
I like complex songwriting, but i listen to metal like alkaloid or meshuggah instead.

>>22882854
I like enslaved a lot too actually.

>>22882861
Well I'm not from eastern europe so maybe your metalheads are just bizarre as fuck. I'm a metal guy of course and in my experience almost any metalhead likes rush. I can go to death metal shows and chat with guys about their favorite Rush album.

My mom and her brother love Rush.

>>22882752
Signals is one of my all time favorite albums but your logic is irrefutable.

>>22882747
yea they gave zero fucks
even when they were told to make more commercial shit, they still made it shamelessly geeky af. AND it still sold. respect.

in terms of putting nerd shit to lyric id say neil might be the best at it, period. to say nothing of each of their respective skills as instrumentalists
alex lifeson plays his guitar as if hes an inch away from self-destructing and its awesome. you dont see guys play like that in progrock generally. usually its a lot more straight-forward, if not insanely technical

>>22882780
Essential.

>>22882746 (OP)
my wife and I are both big Rush fans

>>22882788
Phish is considered somewhat prog and there are a lot of Funky Bitches.

>>22882869
I think Alex Lifeson's guitar playing is emotional.

>>22882857
Neil’s daughter was killed in a traffic accident and his longtime wife dies of cancer months later. That’s what broke him. He went on a years long motorcycle journey to heal. His autobiography is really moving and brilliant. Worth reading.

>>22882784
seasons will pass you by
that line means more now that I have a son

>>22882792
Telling people what's good musically is like telling them who to find attractive. Its an opinion, nothing more.

>>22882872
>Phish is considered somewhat prog
Isn't Phish 100% jam? Are you going to call Allman Bros or the Dead prog?

>>22882797
Yes.

>>22882746 (OP)
Rush sucks

>>22882804
He drove the bus and rocked the xylophone.

>>22882873
ive heard him dismiss it as him "trying to rip off jimmy page", but id honestly say hes a fair bit better at it. certainly better at it live. page could very often be described as "barely able to fucking play" in terms of some of his live performances. whereas idk if ive ever seen alex hit a sour note in his fucking career. and if he hit one, he hit it cool

this usually breaks everyones brains:
queen was a prog band

>>22882855
He’s a really nice down to earth, old guy. But he doesnt like to talk about the band/music and the fans freak him out a bit. If you’re just hanging out do you want to talk about work all the time? He’s known a huge fan in town, so I basically hit him up with “how about those jays” (they were in a win streak) to start a convo. He came in a few weeks later and he said “hey” and chatted again about the team. I’m just happy to talk with the guy … it not like we’re ever going to be friends and deep conversations about culture and life. My takeaway was that he’s not an asshole. Which is nice.

>>22882746 (OP)
the lead singer has a high pitched canadian faggot voice

>>22882877
I watched entire sets of Phish playing Brain Eno.

>>22882877
Plus they played Talking Heads Remain in Light in its entirety.

>>22882884
Does he accept non-Jews especially Poles like myself???

the comedy of Rush being 50 plus years of playing and me looking up both Alex and Geddy's total worth each of about 40 million while some new Rap Star is worth half a billion.

how is it both aren't Billionaires yet? How is it they have upper middle class wealth but not the Billionaire Wealth of many other performers.
These dudes were off the chart dozens of times over. They must have gotten fucked on Rush Paraphernalia rights.

>>22882886
this isn't about Phish.. this is about Rush you fucking faggot

What is everyone talking about here? Is everyone is fucking boomer Gen x?

>>22882883
>queen was a prog band
I actually agree with this. 1/3 arena, 1/3 prog, 1/3 McCartney grandma songs

>>22882876
That is true, but music has to be in very narrow bounds to be liked by anybody.

>>22882891
Go watch some brainrot.

>>22882886
>>22882887
Yeah they cover all kinds of shit, but covering someone else doesn't make you prog. Also talking heads are new wave not prog.

>>22882889
Rush was very successfully commercially in their peak but there was plenty of contemporaries of theirs that sold way more records. It's not really surprising that some gay mass-produced rap star slop has more money. It's more surprising that actual artistry like 2112 managed to be so successful.

>FLY BY NIGHT AWAY FROM HERE

I saw them in Detroit when I was 15, last tour they ever did, there was everyone from hippies to white collar boomers
They spoke to everyone except women
>>22882864

>>22882901
Rush almost didn’t become who they were at all, back in 1975 after they released caress of steel, mercury almost dropped them because they weren’t selling, they had one last shot, then they wrote 2112 and created their own recording label, anthem, for a farwell to kings, my personal favorite album

>>22882749
lol same. It was basically his filter. You like Rush? If no then you didn't exist to him.

>>22882906
>for a farwell to kings, my personal favorite album
yea cygnus X-1 is the coolest song they ever wrote imo

>>22882767
This is just flat out wrong. Bitches always loved Cat Stevens. You want to bang a hot hippie slut, put on the Harold and Maude soundtrack or Tea for the Tillerman.

>>22882904
Because women didn’t understand the feelings men had, Rush was a band that gave substance to how young men at the time were feeling, at the same time, bands like Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin were making music about women, and they ate it the fuck up.
Songs like fly by night, I think I’m going bald, tears, madrigal, Cinderella man and free will all gave young men an insight into growth and development as a man.
Pink Floyd was very close to doing the same thing, with the exception of British people instead of men

>>22882910
I hate pink floyd by the way. They're proof that you shouldn't do psychedelics.

>>22882910
Example lyrics? I don't think it's all about lyrics, which came across as scientific and technical, not to mention freemasonic.

>>22882746 (OP)
Women don't actually understand art or creativity.

Who here played D&D to Caress of Steel?

>>22882911
I wouldn’t say proof you shouldn’t do psychedelics, I wouldn’t say they are a gateway to adulthood, for me personally they were a wake up call on drug use. Nearly fried my brain once and haven’t touched anything since.
They were more of a proof that slop is loved and a detriment to society.
Before Sid Barrett left, they were a solid band, and then Roger waters decided to be a fucking faggot

>>22882746 (OP)
Why would women hate the band? There is literally a blonde white woman in the group.

>>22882911
You should try re-listening to them now. I rediscovered them and love it all over again.

>>22882912
Look at the lyrics to 'Subdivisions' by Rush.

>>22882746 (OP)
rush are faggots real men listen to:

>>22882918
That's basically what everybody is going through at school or nowadays with advent of cancel culture.

>>22882905
lel i just watched that one not that long ago
some guy on /vr/ was trying to say the medley they open with was ripped off by uematsu for FF7. failing to realize that the medley isnt even technically ELP, its just them riffing on a jazz standard

keith is the piano/keyboard equivalent of alex lifeson
another one of those guys who seems like the wheels are about to fall off, but they literally never do. rare in prog.
really sad when they ask keith in the intro there what hed do if he wasnt playing music, and he just says "couldnt imagine doing anything else". guess he never figured anything else to do. sad. then you got greg whos just like, "LOL id kys myself"
its never the guy you expect, is it?

>>22882923
Panacea and In The Mood is about male feelings.

>>22882920
It's different, I'm from the same place Neil Peart grew up and also saw the changes happening in real time despite being born in the 90s.

>>22882920
Ehh subdivisions is more about how the urban streets don’t give the freedom of creativity to those with it. Getty grew up in the suburbs, when he moved out he saw the beauty in world.
Analog kid, just two songs later, is basically the story of how a teenager discovers the beauty in both nature and machine.

Some lyrics sounds like cryptic freemasonic references, anyways.

>>22882932
He was really big into Ayn Rand and Objectivism. That's what all that bullshit was about.

>>22882850
i was there

>>22882813
Jon had an asthma attack in 2008 and the rest of the band wouldn't wait for him. Yes have tanked slowly but surely ever since

you gotta understand where neil was coming from. and when too, for that matter
when he was a kid he was a hardcore christcuck. go look at any early footage of them with neil (up to ~ fly by night era), he literally never used to play without his cross around his neck
then he got really into ayn rand and hating commies and objectivism and all that stuff. and thats when he decided he had been duped as a kid into believing in fairy tales. so he was understandably a bit angry about it. thats where free will and the like comes from. its not some seekrit blood libel freemason shit. its just him shitposting. he was just a geek and unironically read modern philosophy in his free time, so "write what you know"

and remember, this is in the 70s/80s, so christianity was still fully THE thing that dictated a lot of society and most cunts laws. he just thought there should be a better way to do it that doesnt involve striking the fear of god into children. something based on reason and not made-up bullshit

You have to admit Rush had weird symbols (of an owl, a hydrant and a dog, one eye, pentagram, naked man etc.).
Even as an atheist, it creeped me out.

>>22882938
>of an owl,
Symbol of Athens, wisdom
>a hydrant and a dog,
At that time, it was the perfect image of the suburbs. Bright colors, green grass, cute dog. Just seeing it takes me back.
>one eye, pentagram,
Medieval alchemy
>naked man
A human in the likes of Leonardo DaVinci.

The images just seemed topical to me. Nothing creepy at all.

My favorite rush song has no lyrics, which speaks volumes as to how i feel about Geddy Lee's vocal abilities.
That said, all 3 of them are/were very talented musicians.
>what do women want?
>who cares.

Wait until you read about this:

>>22882938
they were just fucking huge geeks lol. most of that stuff was because they were D&D nerds and into mythology and tolkien and esoterica and shit like that. thats just what they thought was cool
also, the owl is just minerva (aka athena)
shes the goddess of civilization and knowledge and democracy. im sure you can see why that would appeal to a born-again atheist like neil lol

ppl get freaked out nowadays whenever they see an owl, but i think its unjustified. im still not entirely sure what the bohemian grove-types have to do with minerva, but im quite certain she would see them as an abomination. they literally work together tirelessly to try to subvert basically everything she stands for. id imagine its some gay satanic "turn everything upside-down cuz muh satan" bullshit
in the 70s, all the satanists were worshipping diana of the wilds (which ACTUALLY makes sense). THATS the greco-roman goddess youre looking for if youre looking for 70s/80s satanists
also look for the cross of leviathan, as thats when satanism REALLY started to take off in the 70s

>>22882940
la villa?

>>22882942
D&D were the target of satanic panic.

>>22882890
Shut up asshole music is music and the conversation was about prog rock bands

>>22882891
>boomer Gen x
Those are 2 ENTIRELY different things. How would you like it if someone called you a millennial zoomer? I mean, what's the dif?

>>22882940
>>22882943
To be fair, both of Rush's instrumental tracks are top 10 material in their discography so it's really not a crazy statement.

>>22882944
and imo it was an intentional misdirection
at the same time that you had parents needlessly hyperventilation about lil johnny playing a fucking RPG, you had whole ACTUAL cults in NYC decapitating dogs and raping babies out in untermeyer park. and then they went on a shooting spree and terrorized the whole city.

its always like that
>legitimately concerning growing trend of satanic nihilists in society
>even sometimes doing a wee bit of terrorism (before it was even cool)
>actual organized chomo sex rings that rape/sacrifice babbys to diana
>BUT LIL JOHNNY CAME HOME TODAY AND WAS TALKING ABOUT ELVES OMG SEND HIM TO BOARDING SCHOOL ASAP
and we STILL dont know who tf was the rest of the cult involved in the son of sam. they all got away scot free

>>22882893
I bet you could record am album of boing boing click noises and someone would buy it.

>>22882943
nice instrumental

>>22882911
>you shouldn't do psychedelics.
Keep those doors of perception firmly shut.....

>>22882916
You SHOULD feel shame considering that flag.

>>22882746 (OP)
Because Rush were nerds
Simple as

>>22882953
not really this

>>22882943
Yes.
>>22882947
Fair point, I also like YYZ

>>22882954
How?

>>22882955
that is a nice one too

kek

>>22882956
Probably lyrics and maybe Geddy's voice to some women.

>>22882746 (OP)
Women have always hated Rush. Nothing new. It's a tale as old as time. Women can't into good music.

>>22882779
i bet she´s ugly

Rush vs Yes vs Electric Light Orchestra
Which is the most patrician one?

>>22882771
>math rock
tell me you're a nerdy fucking faggot without telling me you're a nerdy fucking faggot
what the fuck is math rock? this is the gayest retard shit i've ever heard of what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>22882840
I would rather listen to the wind come outa Oprah's arse.

>>22882746 (OP)
Great band, just never could get over the lead singers voice.

Low iq logic. Also, you don't talk to women lol

1970 called, want they thread back

>>22882967
how do you know?

>>22882959
if he didn't go full countertenor shriek as much as he did I imagine people would like his voice more. otoh a lot of people get pissed off by jon anderson's voice, too, and he's a natural and smooth alto tenor...it's a miracle that he still has a great voice even tho he's 80 and has had all sorts of respiratory problems in his life

>>22882746 (OP)
just play that fuckin diane sawyer song

>>22882971
Lots of rock vocalists were using the similar techniques to Geddy Lee.

>>22882802
>impossible to like Yes and not like Rush
Yes have been my favourite band since childhood, never listened to any other prog bands till my late teens
King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Van Der Graaf Generator, ELP, etc... love them all, but tried listening to Rush and Tool and couldn't stand either of them

>>22882807
Yes apparently had a decent number of female fans when they went to the states, but over here it was well established that all prog is a mans music

>>22882974
Tool is nothing like the rest of the bands in your list and they do indeed suck.

>>22882945
>Phish
Tell me your gay without saying your gay.

>>22882746 (OP)
Their loss I guess.

>>22882976
Also listen to Billy Strings. You can thank me later.

>>22882758
Could that be that chicks don't dig Jews and Zionism?

>>22882967
I'm listening to them a lot, these days
also Embryo, Can, Amon Düül II, etc
I'm sorting lots of music, to get them in flac with lots of dynamic range, in case jews samson-option the Internet with rusgolians
I love rutracker, desu: this love is pure and genuine
