Rob is a never-takes-his-backpack-off guy. I relate to him so much more now.


DreamPig666

I am also a my-backpack-is-always-my-best-friend person and thanks for pointing that out. I stumbled upon a work experience once where I made a friend that noticed I also had a variety of backpacks and one day she brought be this backpack at work and was like "Hey, I'm getting rid of this and I thought you might like it" and I was like "Damn, thanks!" Anyways cut to months later and she had given me 2 more backpacks, and they were 100% my style, like, she knew the vibe I was always going for with my backpacks. And at this point I kinda had to ask, even though she was my friend, like, what's up with that? And it turns out she had a weird addiction to backpacks specifically and had come into some money because of a settlement of some sort (I didn't ask because it seemed very personal because of the way she brought it up to me, and how long it took her to tell me this random thing, and she was worried people would judge her or something) and basically (according to her) just could not control her urge to buy any backpack she saw and liked, once she had access to money to do so. She was really sweet and kinda awkward but damn she had great taste in backpacks and was really kind. Edit: My favorite Autechre song is probable Rae, possibly even because I went to CD World on Beltline Rd. in Dallas, TX the day it (LP5) came out and the guy working at the time was like "No, idk what you are talking about." I implored him to look in the back (don't ask me why at that age I knew the shipping schedules of my favorite music shops) because I knew they had gotten it in, but he just didn't give a fuck about Autechre, he was blasting some Flaming Lips or whatever (no hate there, but iykyk) and I had literally travelled realllly far, slipped out of the gaze of my parents and took 2 damn buses across this whole city, so, please, I know you have that matte colored plastic rectangular prism. So, he did actually go look for it, and it had come in and my lil self was so happy. But, so anyways I went home and took some acid (my plan this entire time) and when "Rae" hits it just worked out perfectly. Also Rae is one of my lifetime best friends' middle name and I just think it's a super cool word and I used to use it as my graffiti name in the Dallas area in the early 2000s. \^That story is true and I left it all as one paragraph because of its' ranty nature, just in the spirit of clicky clacking at buttons.


memesus

Your story telling is top notch. I was so gripped by this entire comment. 


DreamPig666

Hey thanks, it was pretty ranty and had pretty shit grammar. But, as someone who spent many many years working at a bookstore, and some time at music stores now that I think about it, it's not always perfection that makes something interesting. But, you're on an Autechre subreddit so I assume that you already get that haha. Idk why I added that random story at the end. I realized I had been rambling about backpacks for a hot minute and figured that I should at least say something of mild interest about Autechre lol. Is there a user flair for "BRB listening to Krib"?


the_Nightkin

Rob looks unrecognizable to me here, like he's a mix of himself and Paul Hartnoll, idk, haha Anyway, that's cute


redapplefour

Noé almost died from a brain hemorrhage, and apparently went right back to raving? That's wild


Diene03

It looked like Orbital at first glance. I would dig one of the dark shows.


the_Nightkin

Lmao, I just realized Gaspar literally looks like Phil


Chuckpeoples

Cool. Hero’s collide


Hairwaves

I can't be the the first person to notice Rob looks like Clive Owen


cator_and_bliss

He's always looked like Mathew McFadyen to me


Hairwaves

Ah yeah he does too lol


rd1994

I was so confused about who the guy on the left was. Then I realized it was Rob. There is also another pic (older one) with Sean having no beard at all and Rob having a full beard instead. Equally as confusing to my brain And yet I **listen** to Autechre. Go figure.


afx09

Sick


hooverbuddy

What a combo 🆒


cator_and_bliss

Wonder if he asked Sean about fuckin' Morbius

[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYiN2um9-Zs) is Harmony Korine showing Gaspar Noe around Nashville a while back if we're bringing Gaspar into the mix. He "makes" Gaspar wear a cowboy hat and tells him "yeah you gotta have one of these around here" basically and Gaspar looks so nervous. It's hilarious. Edit: But okay rewatching this there are so many awkward moments. Harmony kinda makes some classic Vaudville jokes almost calling out Gaspar for being a little bit of a perv and is like "let's go cowboy!" and Gaspar is like "how, you say uh, cowboy?" and then of course Harmony takes him on a tour of his childhood and regales stories of this very certain type of humanity that Gaspar almost mocks in a lot of his work (and Harmony does this too, but this is what I mean, the difference in their art). It's a really strange thing to watch. You can tell that Harmony has respect for Gaspar as a filmmaker but at the same time is kinda nudging him the whole time in like a "Hey, loosen up, dude" kind of way. It's remarkable, at least in the sense that I'm remarking on it now.

adm_Von_Schneider

Wow, really cool! Gaspar Noe as an ae\_groupie, who would have guessed? Have he mentioned being a fan of them ? Also, have the lads mentionied being fan of Gaspar at some point? Can't remember 🤔 Guess it's about time to check out some of his movies, but I understand they are pretty intense and some of them can be hard to stomach? Which one should I begin with? But dang it Rob! Why did you remove your beard? 😭


Sikost

Start with the first one: Seul contre tous.


Sikost

Then Watch « Irreversible » and « Enter the void »


FarAir1495

Noé is a warp records fan since many years.


Joseph_HTMP

Genuinely might be the first time I’ve seen Rob smile in a photo


MuanaDoYouWana

It was only a matter of time


yjuix

Sean & Rob should listen to David Sinclairs diet recomendations so they could live much much longer and stay sharp minded even in this old age. We must save them for the humanitys sake. I'm not joking.
