[Iai]

You watch some NFL, I'll watch some rugby, we can get confused* together. And laugh at injuries too, because despite all the padding those NFL guys get beat up pretty regularly.


*Drunk.
Hey man, I get confused watching rugby too.

Most sports confuse me. I mean, why would you be out there in the freezing cold, risking serious injury, just to entertain a legion of fat ****s who sit at home drinking beer and shouting advice at arbitrary groupings of pixels?

Yes, I know the answer is money. And the occasional chance of knobbing a celebrity. But still.....there MUST be easier ways!!! Invent and patent a new adhesive or something.

[Zmev]

I have achieved 2 roles in the musical, not one but 2.

Horray for me and boo for everyone else who isn't me.

Yet you're still on Mx. I wonder, could he be mail ordering brides to maintain this facade?

Check out my rad review.

[pikester]

The problem with CD reviews... is that people only review CDs that they like.

[Bartender]

Or that they really don't like.

[Iai]

I've given a handful of albums 3/5.

[pikester]

either one... you get biased reviews.

[Wanker]

Even with the albums I really like, I just can't find myself giving out a perfect score.

[Robert Crumb]

Every review is inherently biased. But I get and probably would agree with your point. Should we rape and pillage now or later?

[onlybadnews]

jebus. I haven't been on mx in a long time. anything interesting happen while I was gone?

[Iai]

I usually just take the ratings straight from my RYM page. Only 42 have 5 stars - 105 have 3.5/5, and 122 have 4/5, and 76 each have 3/5 and 4.5/5.

That, in the broadest sense possibly, is the albums I like. And all but 1 of those 42 with 5 stars have already been reviewed. Only Kate Bush left. And Bill Hicks, but he doesn't really count as such.

So I'm not going to be giving any other albums full marks any time soon.

[Wanker]

jebus. I haven't been on mx in a long time. anything interesting happen while I was gone?

nah.

[YDload]

Read my reviews for Static-X, Green Day, or Fear Factory. Those were some CDs laying around the house that I did on a whim and felt were just mediocre.

New avatar. Herbie Hancock.

I think this may be the avatar that most closely matches my user title. Since "Say 'dance,' sucka" is from an electro-funk tune ("Renegades of Funk" by Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force), and Herbie Hancock did some electro-funk stuff in the 80s (If you've never heard the song "Rockit," you really need to get ahold of it).

[el doctor]

You can play Rock It on Amplitude for PS2. It's actually really fun. The last few songs on insane difficulty kick my *** though.

[Zappa]

Well, I was hella offended in English class today. I'm in Honors American Lit., you see, and today they allowed some college students to come in and give us a lesson on poetry. First, we were instructed to write down the name of someone near us, and write a word to describe them on each line. This is an exercise I remember doing in 6th grade. After that, we were broken down into smaller groups with college students for each group. My group had two, and one of them was a real winner. A 5th year senior, aspiring gym teacher who has switched majors 3 times now, he explained to us that he knows nothing about poetry. When we were in small groups, the activity basically consisted of reading two poems, one from each of our two college mentors. Mister winner brought us a poem entitled "Exercise!," which he found on FUNNYPOEMS.COM. It had a spelling mistake, and was one of the worst poems I have ever read in my life. I just don't understand how something like this can happen. What is wrong with education?

[Iai]

I had to re-read that a few times, because I'm so used to describing people I like as 'winners', and I didn't catch your irony.

I was planning to download Planet Rock from you pretty soon. I'd be happy to review it.

[Zappa]

Is that a regional thing? I thought "winner" was pretty much always used to describe someone you really view as a "loser."

[YDload]

stupid kid

He probably went to college on an athletic scholarship. You're lucky he didn't walk into class all freaked out yelling "Nerds! Nerds everywhere!" and cowering in the fetal position.

[Zappa]

Actually, he said that NMU (the college in my town) is the only college that would accept him. Apparently he did terribly on the ACT.

[Iai]

Is that a regional thing? I thought "winner" was pretty much always used to describe someone you really view as a "loser."
I think it may well be just my group of friends.

It went from -
'You fail', to
'You fail at life', to
'You can be a winner at the game of life', which is an advert jingle over here, to
'You winner.'

We have hand signals for it and everything.

She hasn't cheated on me in the traditional sense, if that's what everyone's thinking, since I'm not actually going out with her. It's just.....I was making an effort to get to know her friends. He just asked how I knew her, and I explained our history (a good 13 months of it). And every so often, he'd keep interjecting. Finishing sentences for me. It got to the point where he'd say something she'd done to him, then I'd say 'Yeah, me too!', and vice versa.

Basically she's been stringing both of us along, emotionally, for God knows how long. And it's working, because we're both head over heels for her.

Apparently she also had a boyfriend quite recently. Which I never knew about, and which makes me wonder how she kept it a secret from me.

Ah well that's always bad when you're brought along just for the ride. From my position I say you should just move on because this is a girl that doesn't know what she wants. You'd never be able to have a relationship with her simply for the fact that she's not to be trusted. I've been down the same road before a couple of years ago as much as it's going to hurt you'll have to move forward. She probably has alot of things to figure out about her self still so it's not worth your time to stick around.

yeah, attempting to gather anymore attempts that trying to go out with her in the future may not even be worth it either. she seems like she wouldnt be good in the long run, by that description of her alone, she'd probably just stay around till she got bored then moved on.

my suggestion is to find something or someone else to put your time into, you can still be friends with this other girl, just lose the attactment of wanted to go out with her, and you'll feel better, ive been there, and its does really feel better to just let things go.

[pinkyeti]

:eek: Alt/Indie is so much better than the L&R thread.

[Iai]

This is such a theme I'm considering becoming celibate. I tried the gay thing, but **** leaves me cold.

You guys have just said basically what I've been telling myself all day.

Either way, she's gonna get an ultimatum pretty soon.

Alt/Indie is so much better than the L&R thread.
Yup. That's why I post it here.

[br3ad_man]

I don't have any advice for you man, so I'll just give you a manly hug.


I got negative repped by Dargon for saying I'm a christian and I wanted to listen to black metal that wasn't too anti-god if possible. lol:

"Don't try to be a pussy and listen to black metal at the same time"

He was being nice to me for a while too.

[YDload]

Does anyone know why LordDargon keeps coming into Alt/Indie? He obviously doesn't like any of the music discussed within.

PS: I don't know the difference between death and black metal. Give me rep!!!!

[Zmev]

Black - About religion, mostly satanic

Death - About death/gore mostly.

[talk show host]

Black - About religion, mostly satanic

Death - About death/gore mostly.

a cheerful bunch, eh?

[Zmev]

Mmhmm!

[Tangy zizzle]

Quieten down you. Get back in the car.

[Zappa]

There's plenty of death metal that's anti-religion. Look at Immolation and Deicide.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah, Deicide being the prime example.

[Electrocution]

I tried to be a vegetarian for lent...it didn't work.

[Iai]

I never define it by the lyrics or imagery. Mostly because I can't be bothered to find out what they're saying.

[Zappa]

Well, Immolation is as blunt. "Chained to God" and "Burn With Jesus" being some sample titles.

[Iai]

Be a post-modern vegetarian, and eat meat ironically.

Good.

The styles are different musically more than they are lyrically.

[incubliss]

i feel for ya Iai.

i'm going through abit of a dark patch in time at the mo. there is a girl i really like, i REALLY like her. everything about her is just amazing. we talk for hours about music, photography. we are very similar people, and like very similar things, it's quite surreal.

thing is, i've been falling for her for quite some time now, but i know that she doesn't like me in that way at all. she sees me as like a 'brother' or something along those lines. she always says about how she will never be with anyone because she says she can never settle for less, and never could. this in mind, i knew she wouldn't like me in 'that' way. she also doesn't seem to believe in love, what it is, or anything about it. she believes it's fake, and that people settle for less all the time, just for the sake of a traditional modern family. i see the logic in this, but still i think there is such a thing as love.

this is quite true in a sense, and really puts me off talking to her sometimes. lately, she seems to be avoiding talking to me alot, as people have been asking us both if we're together. she's a very shy person, and this i'm sure embarasses her when people ask, and probably annoys too. we just spend alot of time together, but as friends. but...i like her more than a friend, and i know nothing could ever come between us, because it's not what she wants, but i just can't get over her charm.

i don't know what to do with myself, i find myself thinking about her all time, wanting to talk to her all the time. would the friendship be a lie if i wanted more than a friendship? i know i can't tell her any of this, because she probably wouldn't speak to me again.

gah, i hate 'love'

[Zmev]

Ouch, when a girl you like calls you her brother, lame++

[incubliss]

she didn't call me her brother, or say "you're like a brother to me".

just that's what the situation feels like.

[Zmev]

Yeah, thats what I meant.

Crappy

[Bartender]

Sorry to interrupt, but is anyone here remotely knowledgeable in theremins? Preferably outside of naming bands who use/d them, though feel free to name some anyway.

[br3ad_man]

My Dad is making me one actually. Unfortunatly I don't really know anything abotu them, but I suppose I will when he finishes it.

[talk show host]

My housemate got one for christmas. What do you want to know about them?

[Iai]

My Music Tech teacher has one, and he's going to lend it to me for my coursework.

We're all linked to the International Theremin Highway somehow.

[Bartender]

My housemate got one for christmas. What do you want to know about them?

Just why the vagaries in price, really. For example, you go to sites like www.thereminworld.com, and a "beginner's pre-assembled theremin" is linked to for $300+, but then on eBay there are dozens for >£50. So I'm just wondering what's going on.

[br3ad_man]

Morbid Angel are anti-christian too aren't they?

I've only heard three of their albums, but not as far as I can tell. They may have some anti-Christian/anti-religion songs, but overall their lyrics are inspired much more by Lovecraft, fantasy and ancient civilisations (particularly Sumer/ia - some of the lyrics to one of their albums are in Sumerian).

[Bartender]

Typing on a laptop sucks.

That it does. I managed with one for three years or so though, so I'm sure you can make do for a while. Why are you on a laptop?

I'm not actually very knowledgeable on theremins myself. I know my housemate's is fairly cheap though and it's nothing compared to some of the more 'professional' i've heard so I would guess that there's a fairly large quality range depending on price.

[YDload]

You get used to it. You know Birdcage Man? I drew that on a laptop's little "ThinkPad." It's not the same as a mouse, but I clearly learned to adapt.

And I'm left-handed, using the mouse/thinkpad with my right hand. That's quite an endeavour, as you could imagine.

And to Bartender: The Flaming Lips used a theremin on their cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on Austin City Limits. Coyne handled it well.

Well I own a photo theremin that costs roughly 100 dollars (don't know the exchange rate) and instead of a normal theremin it changes pitch and frequency by light, so you can play it with say a flashlight. It was worthwhile buy to make lots of noise but it's not really possible to "play" one unless you have a good ear for pitch. Here's the site which has a couple of song clips if you're interested. :)

http://208.56.217.134/theremin.html

Oh and for a quality attena theremin, $300 sounds just about right. You can get a moog one for that cost.

[Wanker]

I came home for the weekend from school so I could work on some projects that are due soon.

Next year, Massachusetts State colleges are implementing a plan where every campus will be wireless and every student at a state college has to own a laptop. I don't why I can't just get a wireless PC Internet card for my PC.

So I'm going to have to use one all the time.

Dolts.

[Bartender]

Thanks, WRM (and other thereminny people) :)

Have you actually asked them why you couldn't just get a wireless card for your PC?

You should have played ATDI's "Pattern Against User." I think it's about old people/the feeble. But I guess you can never really tell with those guys, huh?

Right Hand Robotics

or

Specdracula vs. the Ants

???

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Right Hand Robotics!

[Reaganista]

Specdracula vs. the Ants

But only if you have one crazy-*** wall-of-noise type song to go into right after you say 'Hello, we're specdracula vs. the ants'.

[Zmev]

Right Hand Robotics.

[Iai]

Right-Hand Robotics is better, but both suck.

[Wanker]

Be "The Flimsy Weasels"

[Bartender]

Or 'The Mongooses'. That's a cool team name. 'The Fighting Mongooses'.

[Iai]

Name yourself something that pre-empts the obvious criticisms people will level at your band.

Worked for Weezer, The Pogues, and Kraftwerk.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

"We Suck Live" that's a good name.

[Robert Crumb]

Be "Pomegranate, the band."
