Purely hypothetical on my part. You'd have to ask tyler he can tell you!! It literally translates to "no more beyond" and was supposedly inscribed on the Pillars of Hercules at either side of the Strait of Gibraltar, warning sailors not to travel beyond the edge of the known world. To me, it just means "perfect example."

âThis is why he is moved, as though he remembered a lost paradise, when he sees a grazing herd, or, in more intimate proximity, sees a child, which as yet has nothing past to deny, playing between the fences of past and future in blissful blindness. And yet the child's play must be disturbed: only too soon will it be called out of its forgetfulness. Then it comes to understand the phrase "it was", that password with which struggle, suffering and boredom approach man to remind him what his existence basically isâa never to be completed imperfect tense. And when death finally brings longed-for forgetfulness it also robs him of the present and of existence and impresses its seal on this knowledge: that existence is only an uninterrupted having-been, a thing which lives by denying itself, consuming itself, and contradicting itself.â - Nietzsche

AND IF YOU GAZE INTO THE ABYSS, THE ABYSS ALSO GAZES INTO THEE"-Friedrich Nietzsche
i've been surrounded by extremely wealthy people lately. i was shocked by the fact that there were people who truly had no idea how the world worked; they appeared to me to be aliens since their reality was so different from mine. their morals, their complete ignorance, and how disconnected from reality they were scared me. it only occurred to me today that i am already normalizing a lot of what they say, and i find it frightening. i was shocked when i said something similar to what everyone around me often says when i was speaking to an old friend today. he reminded me of this line after i apologized, but he simply said it was alright, he was not offended but deep down i know he trully meant it and i will remind this phrase till the day i die. maybe it is not that deep but i do not want to lose me, how scary...

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnât violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canât wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! â¤ď¸

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s.
So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it:
âUnwound is the best band of the â90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesnât say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasnât stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the â90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.â
R.I.P. Vern Rumsey.
This is their finest song, from their finest album.
I really canât say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. đ¤
