As an English major, I had to read one novel a week for one class in college.

One of those was the crappy-ass Moby Dick. Luckily we got two weeks for that bullsh*tery, but I still basically said, "f**k you, this book BLOWS."

I got an A in the class.

I tried reading Moby Dick in middle school. I got to one chapter that was about different kinds of whales and gave up. It was the only accelerated reader(or whatever it was called) test I failed.

This might just be the most intelligent Shred title we've had so far.

I'll gauge it on how well it sounds to me. It'll be my first experience in making something like this, so it'll probably end up pretty...lackluster, to say the least. I've got big ideas already, but I'm not sure if I know everything I'll need to get it going yet.

Stupidest f**king book in American literature- should be completely phased out.

There's too much more relevant sh*t even during that period we could have been wasting our time on.

So it could be like a IDM track that uses tons of samples?

Yeah, I'm not sure what it'll turn into. I want it to be fun to make and satisfying upon completion, that's all I know.

Don't bother with either me or Moby Dick. Both bullsh*t.

I need to spend a year on a treadmill to get back to that.

Just got Rock Bottom today, and it is fantastic. Definitely going to be one of my favorites.
