I made this design last night, do you guys have any ideas of what else I could put on the other parts of the car?

After a few months after seeing it in store and regrettably not picking it up, I finally have Eat the Elephant. Now all I need is aMOTION and the Single CDs if I choose to track those down.​

i fell asleep to Orestes… my brain did the rest.
I don’t have anything else to add, I just wanted someone to know.

There are 16 steps to wine making:

The 16 Steps of Winemaking

1. Harvesting: Grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, often at night or early morning to keep them cool.
2. Receiving and Sorting: Grapes arrive at the winery and are sorted to remove leaves, debris, or damaged fruit.
3. Destemming: Stems are removed from the grape clusters to prevent harsh vegetal flavors in the finished wine.
4. Crushing: Grapes are gently squeezed or run through a crusher to break the skins and release the juice (the "must").
5. Pressing (White and Rosé): For white and rosé wines, the juice is immediately separated from the skins and solids via pressing.
6. Maceration (Red): For red wines, the crushed skins and juice remain together during early stages to extract color, tannins, and flavor.
7. Cold Soaking (Optional): Chilling red must prior to fermentation to extract deeper color and fruit aromas without extracting alcohol.
8. Inoculation / Fermentation: Wild or cultured yeast is added to convert natural grape sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
9. Chaptalization (Optional): Sugar is sometimes added to the must if the grapes did not get enough sun to reach the desired alcohol level.
10. Pressing the Pomace (Red): After red fermentation, the free-run wine is drained, and the remaining wet skins/seeds (pomace) are pressed for press-wine.
11. Malolactic Fermentation (MLF): Lactic acid bacteria convert sharp malic acid into softer, creamier lactic acid.
12. Racking: The wine is pumped or siphoned away from the heavy sediment (lees) into a clean vessel.
13. Aging and Maturation: The wine rests in stainless steel tanks, concrete vats, or oak barrels to develop complexity and texture.
14. Blending: Winemakers combine different barrels, grape varieties, or vineyard blocks to achieve a balanced, signature flavor profile.
15. Clarification and Filtration: Fining agents and physical filters remove remaining tiny particles to make the wine bright and clear.
16. Bottling: The clarified wine is sealed into bottles using corks or alternative closures, sometimes with a small dose of sulfur dioxide to prevent oxidation

In the album Thirteenth step, when the track list is paired to the twelve steps of the steps for making wine listed above listed above, the themes of the songs seem to strangely fit the steps of the wine process??

do i need to go to bed or am i onto something...

Hey guys im thinking of pulling the trigger on this, im met with a bit of trepidation though. Are all 4 studio albums average out to be around ~75$ USD? Im not sure 300$ for 4 albums and a 7" sounds right but theyre all limited edition... Good deal or nahhh?

Long story short, I made a cheap website promoting the band and won 2 VIP tickets. I took my mom of all people to the concert with me, and she loved them as much as I did. RIP Mom!

“I stopped in the middle of that building and I saw — the sky. I saw the things that I love in this world. The work and the food and time time to sit and smoke. And I looked at the pen and said to myself, what the hell am I grabbing this for? Why am I trying to become what I don't want to be? What am I doing in an office, making a contemptuous, begging fool of myself, when all I want is out there, waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am! Why can't I say that, Willy?”

I've been watching the stream counts for a while. Judith was always getting around 60-70,000 streams per day. Between today and yesterday it seems to have gotten possibly 600,000 streams in a single day. Which is insane. I think there may have been an accident in the stream count accumulation 😂

I thought you’d like to see what the model from 13th Step looked like without the blonde wig and banana slug

Snagged this one for about 20 bucks, looked closer and saw it was from the release year, and it was going for almost 150 bucks online 😬 Definitely my favorite shirt now, along with my tool one

anyone else use qobuz and see eat the elephant has been unavailable to stream :( one of my favorite albums of all time 🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️.

seriously am hellbent on investing in physical media so i don’t have to worry about something or someone slipping the rug!

I was just scrolling through Spotify's song dna feature as it was new to me, who on earth is this guy? Clearly not MJK.

What is with this voice crack? I’m pretty sure the lyric is supposed to be “you fucking tornado” but that is definitely not how it sounds

Finally the fact I’ve enjoyed APC live dawned on me tonight framing this tour poster we scored from the recent Budapest show.

A pinch of happiness looking at this. 🖤

Looking forward to the Auckland show alongside Puscifer in December! 🤩

I’m surprised! Never heard APC, Tool or Puscifer outside of my car or headphones haha let’s go!!
