think it adds to 46&2?

Does anybody else like useful idiot? I like it, i think it kinda builds up to 46&2. kinda like:
-intermission/jimmy
-Lost keys/rosetta stoned etc...
i dont know if it is intended to be a segue(is that the right word?) for 46&2 or not. although i think it adds to 46&2, like the transition from (-)ions to thirdeye, good stuff =]

Re: think it adds to 46&2?

Maybe it works as a segue because there is no substance to the song, it is about 20 seconds long and it is the track before 46&2?




Wait no, that's definately crazy talk.

Re: think it adds to 46&2?

Well, oftentimes tribute bands put Useful Idiot and 46 & 2 together when they perform them.
That would be their belief. Whether it is correct or not, I don't know, but hopefully that's a help.

Re: think it adds to 46&2?

Useful Idiot = a sound of a record ending... I see no correspondence. Maybe if I had a hit or two of acid I could formulate something :)

Re: think it adds to 46&2?

it could be both the end of h and the beginning 46&2.

its their for a reason.

the sound itself is the end of the record. try listening to the album starting at 46&2.

its repeating, near redundant, ongoing until someone lifts the needle, and changes the record.

Re: think it adds to 46&2?

The creepy/scary repetitive sound really builds up to the beginning of 46 & two, imo

Although the scratchy needle sound really does appear at the ending of H. I guess it's supposed to be somekinda bridge between the two songs generally.

I tried.
You're kind of right.

This may be stretching it, but maybe Stinkfist and Eulogy are almost like the prelude to AEnima and the tail end of Undertow. Then, after the passing of Useful Idiot, it enters the soul cleansing process, as the album name seems to depict.

Do you see your power button for your computer tower? Slightly caress the button with a feather with crazy glue on the tip and slowly say "Computer I love you, Computer I want you" Your computer should become high and in love with you momentarily. If this doesnt work, the correct directions should be in your computer manual.

Depents on your processor and which version of Windows/Linux you're working with.

Re: think it adds to 46&2?

:D it was how to get high off your computer, but I'm gonna go try that w/ the power button.

Technically, to get computer high, just stay on the comp for about 2-3 hours, maybe even longer.
Since I am forced to remain within such parameters at least once a week, I'm computer high fairly often. Your head becomes to feel a little woozy and numb.

And then, when you look away, your head hurts like fuck.

Yep, that's how it's done :D
And you see weird things in a bit.

Apples, from what I know of, are extremely addictive.
:( Unfortunately, I am immune to the powers of Apple. I don't like the side effects.

Start off with a low dose and slowly increase daily. Also PM Doctor T_I_S weekly so he can monitor you.

Re: think it adds to 46&2?

My two cents: Stinkfist (a.k.a. song #1), eulogy and H were all released as singles. Hence the skipping record since we are the useful idiots who bought the record and listened to these songs.

O.K...

Well better to have a slave computer than to be a computer slave, imo.

BTW it's a HP Pavilion DV5000 series. So what's your gear?
