Gulf of Cuba USA and Mexico
CUM for short.
OK, but for the record I didn't think you were that short.
I know! The United States of North America!
These are the jokes, kid.
Dont even get me started on the patch northeast the Indian Ocean. That thing must have the highest peaks on earth, and it reaches all the way to Mongolia.
It took me way to long to realise its Britain. My first thought was, that it would be the US and then got confused because this wasn't the US.
It says garbage patch, not dumpster fire
I mean, have you been to Birmingham?
I once had to stay in Birmingham after a cancelled train. On leaving the station I was accosted by a drunk demanding cigarettes, who started swearing at me after I admitted I didn’t smoke. That’s my only experience of Birmingham, I have to assume it’s typical.
Yes I have, and I found it to be rather pleasant actually... But then I am from Wolverhampton so it could just be the comparison.
My brain worked so hard to make this look like America, even though now I know it isn't I'm pretty sure its still the USA
It's North America from an upside down perspective.
What's Cornwall? Long Island?
That's so brutal, black metal fans burned a church in its honor
Yo the church was burning when we got here we just didn’t wanna let it burn without a proper send off
Hey now, we've got some nice bits - they're all the bits with no people in
Kinda unrelated but Garbology is a pretty great album imo.
That's because all Aesop Rock albums are great.
Malibu Ken replaced None shall pass as my favorite but NSP still holds a place in my heart
Malibu Ken isn't an Aesop album it's a Malibu Ken album. TOBACCO should not be underestimated and is great on his own too.
Can I not be jazzed about the collab? Geez. It's 2 of my favorite artists arguably randomly coming together to make magic.
I consider it an aesop album x Tobacco collab album so therefore it is also an aesop album
Sure, whatever. I just think the way shit is credited actually matters, e.g. "Run the Jewels" isn't a Killer Mike album even though he's on every track, just like "Kid A" isn't a Thom Yorke album. Shobaleader One's work is separate from Squarepusher even though it's literally the same person.
Artists make subtle choices when crediting their work, but yeah it's ultimately subjective so do you.
I mean... Malibu Ken is ... basically just Aesop Rock + Tobacco, right?
Like, the sub header/alt title for the album is 'Aesop Rock and TOBACCO are Malibu Ken'.
Like how Garbology is Aesop Rock + Blockhead?
I... get that you can split hairs over exact naming schemes...
...but Malibu Ken just literally is Aesop Rock on vocals and lyrics, just as Garbology is Aesop Rock on vocals and lyrics. He just partnered with different musicians for the 'beats'.
But anyway yes, Tobacco is fucking awesome, so is Black Moth Super Rainbow.
nothing sounds like how he ... makes music. It's incredible.
I know you think it's pedantic, it's just that the artist determines what is his personal work and what isn't. If you look up Aesop Rock's discography, Malibu Ken isn't on it, but Garbology is.
It's different because MK is a duo, where Garbology is an Aesop album that basically feats. Blockhead on every track.

Aesop Rock sells Malibu Ken directly off his website, just as he does with Garbology.
'Aesop Rock and Tobacco are Malibu Ken'
vs.
'Aesop Rock x Blockhead'
To me, this would imply Aesop Rock considers it part of his discography, his personal work.
Blockhead is also just one guy, a musician / producer, just like how Tobacco is just one guy, a musician / producer.
Garbology and Malibu Ken are both collabs between Aesop Rock and one other very talented musician.
If you're going by discography lists put together by third parties like wikipedia or spotify or whatever, I'd say say that's less of a direct source than... the actual artist's official website.
Hell, even discogs.com shows Garbology and Malibu Ken in Aesop Rock's discog, Garbology in Blockhead's, and Malibu Ken in Tobacco's.

https://www.discogs.com/artist/903328-Tobacco-3
Is ... is there some interview Aesop gave where he specifically says he doesn't consider Malibu Ken to be 'his personal work', but he does consider Garbology to be?
If yes, then I'll happily stand corrected.
If no, then I don't think your latter claim here has much merit.
Both are team up collab albums between two people.
Skelethon > everything (tho i do like ITS, the song Vititus has a weirdly nostalgic vibe)
I think NSP just got me because I took was grown in a royal dirt of Suffolk county's flooring.
Spirit World Field Guide might be mine, but it's hard to choose.
The lost continent had emerged! It's happening!
Trash Atlantis.

What do you think would happen if a population stayed within its own cesspit of a gene pool for a thousand years? ;)
Edit: typo.
Maybe this is the remnant of the last technological civilization that collapsed and disappeared, leaving behind a super massive floating wastepile in the Atlantic Ocean and eventually settled into where it is today. Along with all the survivors that have long since forgotten where they came from.
blighty has it's problems but they're resolvable. rejoin the EU. Support Ukraine. Restrict 5 eyes intel until the US get's it's shit together. Lead NATO.
problems, but feasibly resolveable problems.
New beavers just dropped in england, so give em a chance to clean the place up (the beavers I mean).
Hey now, we just exonerated ourselves by being nice to Zelensky. For today and today only, you have to respect us!!
As someone who lives slightly north of the island in the middle of the south coast of this particular garbage patch; yes.
