I don't know what to call this + previous Louis Cole. But I have found something I really love today.

Kind of disappointed that this did not end with an exterior shot of the van with the door opening and the band members spilling into the parking lot in a heap with their instruments.

Pretty sure that's a Toyota Previa. Chrysler owners aren't this cool. although I love my Stow 'n' Go seats.

I've been revisiting the track Earth just about every other day since it came out, it's so good. Would I listen to an album of this? Maybe once or twice. But I fucking love this video from start to finish.

Ah! Was wondering what the chain restaurant behind them was. I see they are currently advertising an "Ooze Fest" featuring "the new Double Cheese Chili Fries, a harmonious blend of this melty cheese sauce, shredded cheddar and Wienerschnitzel's legendary chili. Next up is the new Double Cheese Fries, loaded with zesty cheddar and more of that oh-so-yummy cheese sauce. Finally, the crowd-pleasing new Double Cheese Chili Dog, topped with the ooey-gooey cheese sauce, American cheese and world-famous Chili."
Seems très clowncore.

Taking a moment to ponder how an eatery named "Wienerschnitzel" has chili on the menu, "legendary" or otherwise.

Yeah, for those unfortunate enough to live outside of Wienerschnitzel range, this is a very Wienerschnitzel-parking-lot kind of thing. Brilliant location scouting. Also you can tell they're actually professionals and not (just) a bunch of weirdos by their gaffer tape discipline as demonstrated, e.g., in the shots of the drummer.
Louis’ drum routine tutorial video is impressive.
I was going to say! Just from the FPP video I was very impressed by the way he used those... press-rolls? Or whatever to accurately keep a really fast, dubstep-like beat. Very relaxed-looking, and probably the only way to make it work given everything he was playing. Well done.

Am I wrong in thinking that inflation applies to filling with air and not necessarily liquids like blood? I don't know a better word though. Hydraulic?

I don't think they are wearing their masks correctly. Masks should cover your nose and mouth and be worn at all times when you are indoors or in close proximity to others (such as a minivan). It may make it harder to play the sax but it will help prevent the spread of whatever these guys have.

Oh yeah. Fair point.
Later on, ICP did alright in their disquisition on the Confederate flag and the treatment its advocates and proponents should be subjected to back in 1992 or so.

Male genitals is not a synonym for penises. I flagged this morning (with a note) and nothing happened, so now I’m posting in thread. This a transphobic description. Change it.

This is absolutely correct and my stupid fuckup completely, and I'm really sorry for making that transphobic mistake and for any effect it had on folks here, specifically yourself (Over) Thinking. Sorry.
As for the time delay between flagging and the mod change, that's also down to me as I didn't check MeMail and missed their comms to me about it. Personally, I would think that the mods should feel empowered to change shitty, alienating wording like that without OP permission - I know I wouldn't have minded - but maybe there's history against that kind of thing, I don't know.
