1981, I like that number. You add the two parts together you get 100.

And one.

Oh man. I'm such a pathetic piece of shit. All I've been thinking about is when I'll get fired.

Fuck. Fucking fucking fuck fuck fuck.

I just want something to work right for once.

Reaction: My partner just was exasperated once I made her watch "Parabol/a". Funniest reaction ever.

"Ummm...WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?? ARE YOU SERIOUS?" - Random Girl at a party Jambi was playing

"They were good in '93...ya know...when Alice in Chains was relevant" - Co Worker

"That song about sticking a fist in a girl's twat is cool" - Random Concert goer at a Festival where Tool headlined but didn't know much about the band

"Man put that song on where the drummer plays the drums all crazy! That's my shit!!!" - Good friend referring to the breakdown in "Right in Two". Went nuts to the tabla

I'm getting forgetful in my old age.

my dad's 70 and the first time he heard the song Lateralus in my car was when I drove him to a family party recently. through the years I've made him mix CD's with Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots etc. he's been listening to Tool songs since the early 90's and he loves the 90's rock music but can't really distinguish Tool from APC or Puscifer. so I would say he's a non-Tool fan. he's a singer so he knows Maynard when he hears him. he's been in a hundred bands since he was 14, everything from doo wop to prog. he sings operatic acappella, whatever the situation calls for after too much wine lol.

after Lateralus ended he just looked at me with eyes wide. I think his exact words were "wow, great syncopation, is this new?" I said "nah man they released this song over a decade ago, new album is 8+ years in the making". "good bass, great drummer. takes a very long time to write a song like that". daddy oh, you have no idea lol.

My Dad quite likes Tool. It's one of the few bands in my collection he actually asks to listen to.

My other sister - "Do we have to listen to this now??"

My (American) ex - "That's just dark. Too dark. "

My sister's husband - "No I'm......not really getting into this at all"

My work colleague - "OK I'm officially not letting you near the stereo again".

My friend from Adelaide - "I liked that drifty ambient one you just played (10,000 Days / Wings...) but this next one (The Pot)is the sort of thing they do that turns me right off them "

Another friend - "They're fucking stupid. Who listens to this sort of thing? Manic depressives and people with no social lives ?"

Yep, fear or some version of it has been the most common response I've gotten.

On another note, every single girl that I've introduced Tool to (heh) has preferred APC over them. My most recent GF actually liked them both a lot but admitted she preferred APC. "They don't scare me as much".

No, Nigeria. She was always asking for my bank info for some reason though. I'm sure her repayment will arrive any day now.
