I'm excited for the both of us. I heard they put on a hella awesome live show.

[guitarbaz]

Have a nice weekend chaps.

i know I will..

*hic!*

[thetwaz]

I'm going on a weekend away with my church youth group this weekend. Should be cool.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I'm going to see Explosions in the Sky on the 8th in New York City. Is there anyone else going to their show that date and is there anyone that can tell me how great the show is?

i might be going to the one on oct 5th in philadelphia, and ive seen them before and any expectations you may have of them will be met and exceeded. its a wonderful things to watch, just make sure you get pretty close but not too close, the bassist almost hit me in the face with his bass, cause he was moving back and forth so much...

oh man, I'm freaking excited right now. :D

[Luxor]

For some reason ticketmaster isn't selling tickets for the Explosions show... My friend apparently knows someone at the venue they're playing so he said they could probably hook us up with some tickets.

Seems kind of sketchy though...

[Wanker]

For some reason ticketmaster isn't selling tickets for the Explosions show.

Yeah, I got them from some other site. Overall it came out to $52 for 3 tickets :eek:

[Master Arkam Kannon]

they arent playing ticketmaster venues i believe...usually ticketweb if available will have them...

you'll love em...

Circulatory System is going to release another album in spring. :eek:

[Happymeal]

My friend back home got pregnant:( I'm so sad for her right now.. And the guy doesn't even care. Sorry, just had to let it out..

[Happymeal]

She's my age, 16. She told me awhile ago, she learned about it 3 days ago.. She was drunk in a party and apparently that #!%!$^^^&!!%%$^ took advantage of the situation. That guy is one big asshole to do that to my friend..

[Iai]

She got pregnant off a one night stand?!? Ouch.

[Happymeal]

Thanks.. I really appreciate it. I'm still a bit shocked right now. I've known her for a few years, she's a great person and I didn't expect something like this would happen to her. And she doesn't deserve that. It sucks that I can't do anything for her 'cause we're thousands of miles apart.

She said she wants it out of her body. I really can't blame her..

[Iai]

One of my best friends got pregnant after being raped by her then-boyfriend's best friend. On Christmas Day.

I hate males as a species.

Her reaction was exactly the same. She never really got over it though. I know it's not quite the same situation, but just make sure someone's there for her.

[Happymeal]

:( That's so sad.. You can never tell them that "it's ok". I mean, it just isn't right..

I'm worried she might not get over it too so I'm trying my best to be there for her right now.

When situations like this happen, I feel guilty being a guy.

One of my best friends got pregnant after being raped by her then-boyfriend's best friend. On Christmas Day.

that exactly happened to a girl i know, except i don't know if it was christmas day
the boyfriend didn't even care, either
i think he just broke up with her when he found out

[br3ad_man]

I'm so sorry for your friend man. Don't let her abort the baby though, that's bad news for everyone.

*gets emotional*

I was thinking about this very thing the other day when I was listening to "Me vs Maradona vs Elvis" by Brand New, it's about a guy taking advantage of a drunk girl. I swear right now, that I will fricking die before I become that guy. I never, ever want to be that person. I feel so sorry for any guy who is like that. At the same time, if a guy ever tries something on one of my friends, I swear I will beat the crap out him (this coming from someone who hates fighting and has never been in a real fight in his life). I'm dead serious about this, I will NEVER be that guy. I'd rather be a murderer than that guy. I honestly don't hate anything in this world more than a stupid arsehole who takes advantage of girls. I will die before I become that person.

*drys eyes and clears up*

Sorry for the rant, but I'm dead serious about everything I just said.

[Tapeworm]

I agree totally with you Bread, thanks for coming out and saying it.

[Happymeal]

Thanks so much guys. I really really appreciate it. The guy who did this is pathetic. I'm so ****ing angry at him right now. If I was back home right now I'd..

Don't get me wrong, I don't support abortion, but still I feel so sad for her if she becomes a mother at 16.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Don't get me wrong, I don't support abortion, but still I feel so sad for her if she becomes a mother at 16.

but this is the reason why abortion should be legal, why should someone have their life ruined because of someone else. if you ban abortion you're taking away the control a woman has over her own body. i do believe a woman should be careful and not just keep having abortions but it still should be their choice what comes out of their body. also if a woman is in dire medical need of one she should be fully medically covered to get one rather then having to use the coat hanger in the alleyway. pro-life is a misinformed ideology based on religious upbringings that need to be looked at again.

[Iai]

A pro-life viewpoint does not take human behaviour into account. That's what it boils down to.

nada surf had a song about that long before brand new called robot and mothers day...that's really passionate about it, really good to download...

are you for it or against i though?

[Lowend]

a clear majority of abortions performed are being used as a form of birth control. That is just wrong, in my opinion.

i think partial birth is bad, and should be/remain illegal. women have had plenty of time to think about it by then. it also just gives crazy religious people fuel, by providing them with pictures of mangled babies to blow up and put on signs.

there shouldn't be women having their 5th, 6th and 7th abortion. but if one can justify a single abortion, it should stand for multiple, as it's the same act, just multiple times. still that just creeps me out that some women have had that many. doctors should like, scar their abdomen for each abortion they have....yeah it sounds crazy, but it'll reduce the number of abortions!

i hate the idea of abortion, but i support the womens choice to have one. i don't feel one way about it. it's too complicated to feel one way about.

I totally agree with you MAK.

pro-choice

[Tomahawk]

Don't let her abort the baby though, that's bad news for everyone.
It's entirely her decision though. He should be supportive of whatever she decides.

If she decides that she has to get an abortion, then somebody preaching to her about why she shouldn't will do nothing but make her feel worse about it.

[br3ad_man]

If I had a friend in the same situation, I wouldn't support her in that decision. Abortion is killing, and that's the end of it,

[Tapeworm]

I agree with MAK.

[The Ashtray Girl]

If I had a friend in the same situation, I wouldn't support her in that decision. Abortion is killing, and that's the end of it,

But even if that's your view, do you not think that ultimately comes down to her decision? If the father was less of a cunt, I'd say he should be involved too.

I wish abortions were never necessary, but I also don't want to see a) back-street, highly fatal, illegal abortions and b) babies born into unloving families where they are not wanted and resented.

[Iai]

are you for it or against i though?

I am 100% pro-choice.

[The Ashtray Girl]

~nods~ definitely. And yeah, I'm all for lowering the limit, as babies have survived in the past that could have been legally aborted. That can't be right.

[br3ad_man]

But even if that's your view, do you not think that ultimately comes down to her decision? If the father was less of a cunt, I'd say he should be involved too.


Obviously it's not her fault that she's pregnant, but it's not the babies' fault either. The baby doesn't deserve to die just because it is unwanted. I'd feel bad if I was a woman and I aborted my baby. I'd feel even worse if I was a friend who just let one of my friends do that so she could feel terrible about it for the rest of her life. But that's just me.

a baby is only a baby outside of the womb, inside the womb is a fetus which is a collections of cells unable to support its life on its own giving the right of its fate to the bearer. abortion isnt the best way i'll agree but living in the world we do, do you really want a child to come into this world when its parent isnt even able to take care of themselves?

[Tomahawk]

Trust me, this argument will go nowhere. As much as I disagree with BM, it's his opinion and he's entitled to it. As long as he doesn't go bombing abortion clinics.

the entire last page was like "the abortion page," but i decided not to get involved since i have no realy staunch opinion on the matter. Subject change?

I'm going to see Explosions in the Sky TONIGHT. the show starts at 9, but i hear that Explosions doesn't go on until 11 or so. and my friends said that they dont want to go that early or wait around that long. is anyone else going to this concert tonight, and what time would be a good time to actually enter the venue? I'm too tired to make my own decisions. :upset:

[Tapeworm]

Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff, just go at 9, and the support band might be really good. You've gotta be there for the build up.

I'm going to see Missy Higgins again tomorrow night and Damien Rice next week. I'm excited. :D

In this situation, I wouldn't suggest the mother try to take care of the baby, I'd suggest that she put it up for adoption.

Sorry to continue this, but I needed to add that in.

Have fun Tapeworm, while I wish I was there :thumb:

i know!! i kept telling them that, but they're chicks. and they usually get their way. plus, i want to be nice and stoned as explosions comes on

dont make fun :cool:

Sounds like a good idea actually, especially for Explosions. That would be amazing to be high at that.

/doesn't smoke anymore

[br3ad_man]

Have a great show man, and don't get into trouble.

In other news, me and one of my best mates made a pledge to each other than if we ever turn into "that guy" (the one I described on the page before this one), we will cut off each other's balls.

[Tomahawk]

Yeah go at 9. To hell with them.

And to hell with all of you good-concert-goers. I'm not jealous. I'm sure I'll have just as much fun seeing "generic local pop punk cover band #43".

[Wanker]

Yeah go at 9. To hell with them.

And to hell with all of you good-concert-goers.

meh.

them and a perfect circle are the best bands i('ve/will) see(n), anyways.

No school today. Possibly going to a local show behind the art gallery to see The Fried Chinese Donalds and Balls Deep.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

i might be seeing the moving units tomorrow depending on if it sells out or not. lately ive been at my friend's fixing his garage and turning it into a worthy place to have parties at, alas nye of my friends like as much music as i...

[asymm]

I'm seeing The Black Heart Procession and Enon next week... biggest act to hit Des Moines...

[Master Arkam Kannon]

enon's touring again, i thought they were doing some studio time, ive missed them quite a few times since seeing them open for the mars volta, i wonder what they're like at a smaller show...

That is my exact opinion of The Pixies.

I just remembered, br3ad's in looooooooooooooooove. hee hee hee

[Lowend]

i saw rufus wainwright. he was amazing. he forgot the lyrics to cigarettes and chocolate milk though....

his voice is so different when he's just talking. after the show, he came out in front of the venue, and just talked to people and whatever. He really does have a huge gay lisp.

I don't know if I'm going to call it that yet, I'm still a young 'un and I'm not totally sure of all of my emotions yet. I don't know though...it seems possible to me...only time will tell I guess...ah well, needless to say, I'm very happy at the moment, and I'll keep you updated on everything that happens :)

Thanks for the birthday wish too :)

[Happymeal]

Hah, that's cool. Don't rush it man, hope everything works out for both of you.

I once had an infatuation on a German girl, and we broke up 5 days after. She hunted me down for almost a year:p

Hah, that's cool. Don't rush it man, hope everything works out for both of you.

My new band is finally getting some attention. We got a string of shows coming up around the Long Island area in New York. The Long Island music scene has really been picking up, its pretty exctiting meeting everyone and being a part of it. Anyone around there that hasn't checked it out really needs to.

[Wanker]

so yeah. what have all the alt/indie kids been up to recently?

I got back to school last night after a great weekend in new york and seeing explosions in the sky. But now I have to write a 3 page essay for writing class and I have to read a buttload of history for a test on thursday. College is ok, but it's still kind of lame. I'd rather be at home and bettering myself as I see fit. I don't even have to time to exercise anymore, which is driving me insane. This is because I either have to be smoking something or exercising to keep my state of mind clear, but since I dont have time to exercise, I've been smoking too much. I'm really trying to stop. I know it's going to be hard, but I've got my LiveStrong bracelet on right now and I'm waiting for some free time to hit up the gym. Does anyone else have trouble planning and squeezing in exercise time whilst at college? And if you do, how do you get around it?

Gah, I need a nap

[Happymeal]

I don't want a music nerd either, I just want someone who'll appreciate what I listen to. Period.

That she does.

She gets to see Coheed tonight without me... It's a school night and my parents won't let me go. :(

I have to arrange Comfortably Numb for solo guitar, and learn it before Monday. I have a mock exam in Music. A weekend to learn THAT?!? Ah well. If I pull it off, I'm God.

^ ^ ^ what a cool girl!!! :amaze:

I just spent a week in the "big city". It was really good, I caught up with some friends I hadn't seen for ages, saw Missy Higgins play, saw Damien Rice play, drank heavily, bought cds, bought clothes, ate subway, ate choc chip peanut butter, saw Shaun Of the Dead, went guitar shopping, ordered a telecaster, bought some cymbals, walked around and threw up and nearly missed my train home.

What a week.

[Happymeal]

Was it the Subway that made you honk?

I was in New York last wekeend and I wish I were back there just because there's nothing to do here on the weekends. When you live in the mountains, you've got a choice between sitting down and sitting down whilst on drugs. I'm choosing the former because I'm almost out of money and I need a haircut.

[Tapeworm]

Nope, it was most likely the 8 schooners of beer i had in an hour and a half. I'm so hXc.

[Little Man being Erased]

I don't think I've ever really mentioned much about my life in here so I might just give it a shot.

I had a fairly decent week cause my bro came down to visit (Tapey). Got to go see Damien Rice and then went and got trashed and witnessed my brother having a vom, as was previously mentioned. I've got a pretty boring life at the moment though, due to uni being a really busy bastard. I'm nearly finished though so it's all ok. I've enjoyed chatting in here the last couple months even though I barely get noticed. Oh well...

[br3ad_man]

Which of you is older?

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm 21, Tapeworm (Matt) is 18.

[br3ad_man]

ahh ok, I suspicioned [/west side story] that you we're older

[Little Man being Erased]

heh, yeah I am far more mature.

[br3ad_man]

Actually, it was just because I knew Tapey was 18 and then you said you watched him get trashed. So I thought youd prolly have to be the same age or older than him :p

[Tapeworm]

I'm way cooler.

Wonder no more, fair child/adult.

I'm surprised as well! Hehe

I wanna start the whole idea, but I have to do some research, as my knowledge is still very limited.

I'm 21, Tapeworm (Matt) is 18.
For some reason I had in my mind that you were younger. :amaze:

Anyone else not surprised at all that the average age for Alt./Indie is probably the highest on the whole site? :lol:

ps I'm 18.

[Tomahawk]

As far as the featured artists go, it's a good idea. And I'd be willing to submit a poorly written FA.

This is true. I'm 17.

[Tomahawk]

We doing an age roll call? I'm 18.

[Iai]

I always assume you're older than that, Med.

So far the average age is 18. :p

[Wanker]

Yeah, we should make a poll and average it out or something.

p.s. I'm 18

[sweboy]

Oh snap, I feel so young. '88 punx unite?

[Wanker]

I think this means me, br3ad and Nacho are the youngest here. :eek: Oh well, I'm in good company I guess. And due to excessive boredom I'm already writing another FA. :lol:

who's it on?

[Well_Respected_Man]

I'm the youngest here, only 15 :eek:

[Well_Respected_Man]

My young age broke the thread.......

[Wanker]

meh...I'm not sure if you're meant to say, but I really want to do one on them, so I am hereby publicly saying that I am doing an FA on Radiohead. And it ain't gonna be a short one ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you that. :cool:

isn't there an FA on Radiohead in the 'Other Forums?'

i know this a different forum, but I just thought I'd bring that up :)

[Little Man being Erased]

Holy cow! I think I'm the oldest one on here so far. How depressing.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

i'm 21 as well...21 is great though (american wise)...

[Little Man being Erased]

Nice... yeah that's true, I'm so glad I live in Australia in that regard.

[Wanker]

The fact that Alt/Indie has the highest user age average is still amusing me and I don't know why.

[br3ad_man]

[Happymeal]

They're grilling SFK in The Pit. Renaissance spied on the mod forum, I think, then he quoted SFK for wanting to close The Pit down. Flame-throwing party:p


/gossip

[Tomahawk]

Heh, I have no clue who those people are. Unless SFK is the band "Something for Kate". I don't go into the Pit very often...

[Ema babi]

hey people im Ema :wave:

well i hope ur all having a great day bye for now !!

[Tapeworm]

I also am confused by the SFK thing.

My brother is like the father of Alt Indie. Word. That means I is the uncle.

I recorded an EP of myself on tape today, but my tape recorder is terrible, so it makes everything sound all warped and out of tune (at least that's what I like to think). I need to get a minidisc or something.

[Wanker]

Heh, I have no clue who those people are. Unless SFK is the band "Something for Kate". I don't go into the Pit very often...

SFK = StageFrightKen

he posted in the mod forum that the site would be better off without the Pit and that they should close it down.

i don't know if i count as a regular though?

[Tomahawk]

I just whipped up a FA thingy. I'm not sure when I'll post it though. Are we doing one per week? Or one per fortnight? Or one per month? Enquiring minds want to know.

[Tapeworm]

I'd say fortnightly would be good, same as Other. But i'm just a kid.

I'd say 2 (preferably short but sweet)FA's a week, to keep things going. Whoever wants to dibs on the next, just post it on the latest one(the first one to dibs gets to do it).

I wanna reach 2000 by Christmas!!!

[Happymeal]

Short, long, whatever. We just need to keep the bands flowing. I'll probably do one on the weekend as I'm so busy with schoolwork. I need to research on my band too.

Ooh Med, I'm a big fan of your FA's and reviews. They're all A++ man.

[RIPJoeStrummer]

I like the fortnight idea, gives it time to bask, you know.

[br3ad_man]

I think one FA should be posted per week, or at least you can post them up to once a week. It moves too slowly in Other Music imo.

[Wanker]

Spam is BAD. :mad:

It's a Godspeed You! Black Empreror album's cover art. Yanqui U. X. O.'s I believe.

[kayakdrum310]

I just got in three cds! Straylight Run and The Anniversary - Your Majesty and The Graces. School was pretty stupid today had two projects due today and I started them both yesterday. Don't think I'm doing very good.

"At the edge of the rest of your life,
At the end of a one way road,
I was losing everything,
And tonight may never shine,
If you never open your eyes,
I keep this heart right next to mine."

[Happymeal]

I was a bit disappointed having listened to the whole of Straylight Run's S/T, the album's just so.. lacking:(

/goes pop-punk

[Wanker]

Yep, it's the cover art to the album. It's supposed to be a plane dropping bombs, in accordance with the song Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls.

[gaslight]

So how is everyone?

/Just discovered this thread.

[Tomahawk]

This belongs in Rock and Metal, but all of you need American Beauty by The Grateful Dead. I'm listening to it now, and this is a BRILLIANT album. I don't know if you can send albums you've recieved on AIM to other people over AIM, but get your hands on this any way you can.
Yep, it's a classic.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm good.

I finally recieved my Tago Mago SACD in the mail. Aw bless Can.

[gaslight]

Everyone also needs Lyburnum by Moss Icon.

[br3ad_man]

Hi gaslight, good to see you here

that's sort of relevant, i guess
we missed a period

Fire alarms suck.

I have two days off work. I'm in heaven, drug-induced heaven.

Our Fire Alarm is way too loud, everybody jumped out of their seats and a select few fell over.

[Tapeworm]

I just had three cups of freakin coffee, and watched half assed Jeepers Creepers 2. Eh. Bad, bad movie.

Has anyone seen The Day After Tomorrow and Troy? I work at a video store, and every idiot that hires either of those two movies returns it and goes "WOW, that movie was absolutely brilliant." I just have to smile insincerely. Such bad movies, except for Brad Pitt's portrayal of Achilles, that was just plain awesome.

[Tomahawk]

I haven't seen either of them, but I don't want to because they look godawful.

I saw Mystic River a couple days ago, that was alright.

[Well_Respected_Man]

This is supposed to be really cool, I want to see it.

what is this? i was on the page, but i couldn't really figure out what kind of movie this i
was. i think there are interviews in it or something, but i don't know.

[gaslight]

Would it be a good idea to have a thread where we all post our Soulseek names and what bands can be gotten from us?

[Wanker]

The Day After Tommorow was crap. I went once to see it because it looked interesting and then I told my friend how bad it was. Then we went and got stoned and saw it just so we could pretend like we were in Mystery Science Theater 3000. I was Tom Servo. :D

[Luxor]

^ I went to rent that on the weekend but it was sold out. I'm still going to watch it, even if you thought it was crap. :)

[sweboy]

So, let us settle this once and for all. As a good introduce to Modest Mouse, should I buy "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" or "The Moon and Antartica"?

[Iai]

We have an AIM thread. I think most people put their Soulseeks in there. And of course, they put all their collections and stuff.
