Man.. This Bill Hicks DVD is great... 3 shows on one DVD.. 3½ hours... only 10 bucks

Which one have you got?

[Zappa]

Seashellist?

Interesting......

Indeed. I think he generally played 4 of different sizes, and then he had one huge one for the last song. He cuts them so that on the end is basically a trombone mouthpiece, and he uses lip tension, air column speed, as well as shoving his hand into the shell to get 3 or 4 pitches out of each. He's got this really mellow, expressive sound to it.

He played the first bunch of songs on trombone, and then made like the concert was over. Then he did his silly little planned thing where her turned to the NMU jazz band director and said "Hey Mark, I forgot to play the shells!" And then he whipped the little cloth sheet that was covering them on the music stand next to him, and the band did a latin tune with him on the shells.

After that, the concert really was over, but the response was huge. He came back out, and said that even though he hadn't planned it, he'd play an encore solo on the shells, since the band didn't know any more songs. It was unbelievable.

[Knifeboy]

Which one have you got?

http://www.dvdpacific.com/item.asp?ID=622760 <-- that one

[Bartender]

I don't have that one :(

Zappa - he sounds interesting. Do you have any recordings of him?

[Zappa]

Not yet I don't.

[el doctor]

And to think I was going to come in here and say that Carl Fischer (a trumpet player who toured for 10 years with Wynton Marsalis and Maynard Ferguson) conducted my jazz band rehearsal the other day... but that doesn't hold a candle to the seashellist.

[Iai]

And I was going to come in here and say that Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds were just on C4 music, with a live performance from the Abbatoir Blues tour. Awesome stuff.

Logical explanation: Females can't leave you alone?

[asymm]

I'm listening to the "Make Believe" leak... Even though I'm not a huge Weezer fan, I'll post my impressions later.

Actually, if you guys want, I'll YouSendIt? Takers?

[Luxor]

I'll give it a try.

I'm listening to the "Make Believe" leak... Even though I'm not a huge Weezer fan, I'll post my impressions later.

Actually, if you guys want, I'll YouSendIt? Takers?
Yes please, that'd be great. I definitely wanna preview this album before buying.

[biografiend]

The single of Weezers new album blows. My friend said it was Blue Album amazing though.

[Luxor]

Well, I'm definitely hoping that the rest of the album is better than "Beverly Hills". I'm pretty sure most of us are.

[Electrocution]

Me and pixies saw Head Automatica yesterday. There was also this psychedelic metal band that was so awesome someone had to go to the hospital.

[Iai]

I actually don't think I'm going to bother previewing the album at all. I have literally no hope that it will be anything other than suck.

The review of Beverley Hills I put on RYM -

Come on, Rivers. The 'endearing nerd' gimmick doesn't work when you force it so blatantly. The spoken word break in this song makes a mockery of your entire career.

Their decision to get back together for The Green Album is looking dumber and dumber every day.

It says something that the talking guitar effect is the best part of the song.

Logical explanation: Females can't leave you alone?
About a year ago, I would have said 'I wish'.

hah!

[asymm]

Yeah, "Make Believe" is definitely better than the horrific "Beverly Hills" single. But... it's definitely no Blue Album. It's simply okay. Not a travesty like the single made it out to be, but not a return to form either. A very balanced 'decent' album, some great tracks balanced out by some very 'blah' tracks.

[biografiend]

Is slsk still down?

[asymm]

"Make Believe" is in the YouSendIt thread now...

[ZEROthirtythree]

slsk works fo me

[Luxor]

Not for me.

Thanks asymm, I'll go check that out.

[Wanker]

"Make Believe" is in the YouSendIt thread now...

Is it only the single from their new album?


...because this file is perrrrrrty big.

No, it's the full album leak.

[pixiesfanyo]

i thought that video sucked.

[el doctor]

Not as much as the new album. oOoOoOo

After listening to Make Believe though, I don't think it's terrible, but I don't think it's good. The original description of "meh" is most accurate. What I was really mad about was that there were no standout songs. Say what you want about the overall quality of the last 2 albums, but they at least had some quirky highlights. The good natured fun seems to gone now. :(

[AndreTheHyena]

I would love to attend Wash U. That would be amazing. When we went to the zoo, it was still considered winter season, so some of the animals weren't out yet. And the monkey house, as always, smelled horrid. But they still have an awesome zoo.

Wash U is such a good school. I got accepted to it my senior year, but opted instead for a cheaper education to begin with. And now I'm a college dropout.

I love the monkey house.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Thank Christ for the BBC.

[YDload]

Does anyone here like Nuclear Rabbit? You can ask their bassist some questions in the Bass Forum if you want. ;)

[Zappa]

A friend of mine had me download a Nuclear Rabbit album from him, and I guess I never listened to it.

Oops.

[Happymeal]

I got an album of theirs last month, it was quite a tedious listen despite the hype.

[YDload]

A friend of mine had me download a Nuclear Rabbit album from him, and I guess I never listened to it.

Oops.

It's sort of like Mr. Bungle or Primus-influenced funk metal. But the bassist has a 9-string monstrosity and he knows how to use it, so that's why it's kind of a big deal for him to grant the bass forum a little Q&A.

[Wanker]

I once saw two monkys ploughing in the monkey house, no joke. I was about 12 at the time, and it was scarring.

Aren't they supposed to be really horrible?

If I wanted to record a cover song with my band, how would I go about getting permission and stuff for it?

Aren't they supposed to be really horrible?

No. At the very least, they're some very talented musicans. But that doesn't mean you'll like what they make.

Well I've been invited to join another band after I spotted in for them after a show I had on Saturday but I don't know, I already like what I'm doing. It was fun though to play with another group again though.

That's at least better then where I'm from (Peoria, IL)

Living in Philadelphia has spoiled me. I have to pass up seeing bands that I really like and only see ones I love just to keep myself from running out of money.

[Luxor]

I live half an hour away from Toronto, so that's where I go for the more popular bands. They usually sell out really fast though, which definitely sucks.

I'm seeing Porcupine Tree on the 13th :)

Depends whether or not you're planning to make any money out of it.

If you're not going to sell it, you don't need permission at all.

If you are....I'm not entirely sure.

[Iai]

So anyway, I finally got my A2 music coursework finished.

Now for the AS, which is nearly there.

And then on Music Technology, which isn't a million miles off done. My grade in that doesn't matter that much, though.

On May 4th, all my deadlines will have passed. My god, that's gonna feel awesome.

[YDload]

Wow, the new System of a Down song is better than I thought (even though the lyrics are pretty much the same angry political blahblahblah as before). It's also over four minutes long, which is like twice as long as they usually are.

Maybe their new albums aren't getting worse and worse every time. Just more and more obnoxious. :cool:

[el doctor]

Spoon is coming my way in June. It should be good times.Their only two shows near me are 18 and over... just like almost every other good concert I can't go to.

Well college isn't really 'learning', all of it is just for the short term. No one really learns any thing unless they read outside of the class room anyway. In alot of ways, college 'eduaction' is a joke.

[AndreTheHyena]

I think public education as a whole is a joke. I really don't think I learned anything in high school. I'd like to send my kids to private school, but I'd worry about their social development. It's kind of a lose-lose situation. It's all built around priming people into fitting neatly into automatonical niches, and it scares me.

My father is the smartest and most individualistic and well-read person I know, and he didn't go to college until he was over 30 and I had already been born, and even then he just got an agricultural degree. I like to use him as a shining example of self-education.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

college to me is just a piece of paper that gets your resume' read ahead of those without. i know tons of people who went to the best colleges in the country and they are complete morons lacking common sense or a sense of humor. what's the point of going to college, well that's just to give yourself a shot in the arm, i learn more from going places and doing new things then i will ever learn from a classroom.

[pinkyeti]

I like to think of college as a kind of learning help: It makes your education easier, that is if you want to be educated.

[Iai]

I like to think of college as a good excuse to not have a full-time job.

I mean, do people actually think they're getting ready for a job when they go to college?


Because they're not.

[Bartender]

I don't. But then I'm studying philosophy.

[Wanker]

I told him to find the best cave he can find and claim it as his own because good luck getting a job.

[The Ashtray Girl]

It's all about having a degree, not what it's in. ~repeats this to self~

[Little Man being Erased]

As someone who has graduated University and is now working, I can safely say that in my daily work about 5% of the skills and knowledge I use come from my course content at uni. As people have said, getting a degree simply gives you a better chance of getting a job in your chosen field. I hope that I can continue to learn and maybe even one day find something I am passionate about outside of music.

[Iai]

My degree is going to be in Music & Popular Culture.

Hopefully I'll just sort of slide into that music journalist role.

[Robert Crumb]

What I've been told by business people I know through family is that a degree is a representation of some modicum of devotion. All it shows is that you have the willingness to stick by something, see it through to the end. Dunno if that's how all business folk see it.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, that's true.

I'm reading a really good book on Robert Crumb.

He's a character. I've meant to find the documentary about him, never got around to it.

[Bartender]

I saw it in a boxed set kind of thing with American Splendour (which is a good film, if you haven't seen it) on DVD.

[Robert Crumb]

American Splendor is fanastic. I like Giamatti. Ghost World is another good one in a similar vein, directed by the same guy who does the Crumb documentary. Plus it has Scarlett Johanssen.

I've seen the documentary a couple places but usually when I'm going to buy something else. Then I forget.

[Little Man being Erased]

Giamatti is the tops. It's sad to see him in that huge hollywood blockbutser that I can't remember the name of now. Sideways is the best film I've seen in the last year.

...and don't get me started on Scarlett.

I have a book named after him.. He's quite famous around here

[br3ad_man]

A prostitute?

A tutorial.

[pinkyeti]

I've met his kid, differential equation. He a little bastard.
That guy sure beat the crap outta me last semester.

I had to take an AP class with him. Unfortunately, my previous friend, Algebra, never bothered teaching me himself.

[joecanbassbutnot]

im between classes at my high acheiveing community college.

[Zmev]

A tutorial.

Meh, same thing different subject.

So its raining outside, today has sucked so far, I have to give my speach for being class president in a little over an hour (would any of you honestly vote for me?) and I cannot wait until tomorrow at 3.

[IHeartDisco]

So anyways, I met the candidates for the seat in which my college is situated, for the General Election. They came to our college and took questions. It was very interesting seeing their views on such issues as:

Top-up fees
The war in Iraq
Immigration & Asylum

They took questions for an hour + and I have to say the Green Party candidate impressed me the most. The Labour candidate did not know her stuff to well and was very quie and withheld throughout. David Willets (Conservative and probabale winner of this seat) was very good I thought, but I disagree with most of his views and the Lib Dem candidate was laughable, he could only rant and had little knowledge and tried to digress away fom what was being asked. Wish i could vote next week but Im 18 in July dammiT!

Quick question for anyone; do you ever return CDs to the store you bought them from, if you were (badly) disappointed in them?

[Deathapalooza04]

I don't think the people at my CD store would give me a refund or exchange. They are not that cool. I sent a CD back to the record company once because it was so terrible. They didn't give me anything back. :(

[Glass_Hero]

That guy sure beat the crap outta me last semester.
i'm kicking his *** this semester for you then. I'm getting an A in the class now

[Luxor]

Quick question for anyone; do you ever return CDs to the store you bought them from, if you were (badly) disappointed in them?I remember when CD burners first came out, they would take back returns of opened CD's. My friend was one of the first people to have one, so he would buy CD's, burn them, then return it and say he didn't like it.

I'm pretty sure somewhere like HMV won't refund you anymore though.

A couple times, they looked at me very suspicous like. I didn't get a full refund.

i work in a borders and people try to do that. its not the same as a record store but we dont allow returns unless the disc is damaged and even then, only for the same cd. theres always the possibility of someone burning and returning.

I'm enjoying the first day of my four day weekend.

[br3ad_man]

Quick question for anyone; do you ever return CDs to the store you bought them from, if you were (badly) disappointed in them?

I do. They only give you store credit though, not a refund. I did it once when I bought a cd and then found it $12 cheaper at another shop. I also did it with Metallica's Black Album.


Trail of Dead show tomorrow!!!!

Man that's no good, personally I can't wait for them to come around.

[morrissey2]

I'll already in the throws of exams, sup passing politics. :cool:

Good luck to all of you who have them fast approaching.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Ugh, exams. I sorted all my notes into neat sections in seperate folders today, which was a most enjoyable way of avoiding actually reading them.

[YDload]

Yes, finals are finally coming up.

I just gave a presentation as a final for one of my classes, and that was probably the hardest one. Next week I have just two finals at the beginning of the week, and then school is done for the year! Whoo.

[sweboy]

Oh my god, The Sweboyizzle is back in the hizzle! Can I get a Ha to the Roof, people?

We dont have exams until 1-2 weeks from now. But if you have missed less than three days of school and have an 85 or above in every class, you are exempt from all exams, and I am pretty sure I have made the cut. I will still have to take a band exam though; which will be easy as pie.

[Interstate]

I just finished my english coursework. Such a weight off my mind. I just got paid £250 approx. ($477) and I owe no money to anyone. Commence CD spending spree :cool:

That's stupid. The people who are getting above 85 are going to do well on their exams anyway.

I had a stupid teacher last year who would do that kind of thing. All the people who didn't have an average of 75% on the quiz's, would have to do a unit test. Surprise surprise, they did bad on the unit test as well. Which just contributed to them getting an even lower mark.

Just give the same damn test to everyone.

[Dave de Sylvia]

That's stupid. The people who are getting above 85 are going to do well on their exams anyway.

It's a reward for hard work, I assume. I wish my school had done that, but we weren't on continuous assessment. :(

[Zappa]

We have a similar final exam policy for seniors at my high school.

/no one gives a ****

[Iai]

I've just started what I think will be the wierdest week of my life.

[Happymeal]

I'm guessing it has something to do with your hoes.

[Iai]

It's about 50% to do with that.

And that's really wierd, because I got called a pimp last night.

[Happymeal]

Ah well, who doesn't. Continue plz

[Iai]

Well, I went out drinking with 2 of my ex-girlfriends last night. One of them had a massive fight with her current boyfriend, and broke up with him right in front of me. She then flirted with me really blatantly for the rest of the night....until her ex-boyfriend showed up with his friends. After which, she spent most of the night stood between us, not sure which one to go to.

So the fallout from that should be entertaining when I next see her.

She was asking some strange questions about another of my ex-girlfriends too, because she thinks I'm back into her (correctly, actually, but I have no idea how she'd know).

Other big events this week include my first ever time voting this Thursday, a ****load of coursework deadlines on Wednesday and Thursday, and me losing my virginity. Tomorrow.

Yeah, that last fact is really what makes the week a wierd one.

[The NPC]

Don't look too into what went on, she was probably just asking stupid. I wouldn't pay much attention to her really if I were you.

[Zmev]

My friends gf is a moron and I hate her.

[Happymeal]

I never would have thought you still had your v-lights on, Iai.

My friends gf is a moron and I hate her.

Ask her if you can give her a manicure and a pedicure for her birthday.


Alt/Indie is so dead right now. It needs a hug.

I'm really sleepy. I was going to go to the movies with my friend tonight but now he can't, so I guess I'll just be writing some cd reviews, watching some TV and going to bed early. Then tomorrow night me and some of my friends are having a Rocky marathon!!!!

[Little Man being Erased]

i'm hardcore.

I finished reviewing a CD which everyone who visits this forum should own, really.

[IHeartDisco]

So I finally got Oceansize's album yesterday....tis amazing. if you like British Rock Bands like Reuben, Biffy and/or you like A Perfect Circle you'll love Oceansize.

Also bought Biffy's side project, Marmaduke Duke's album. And it's great too, sounds very like Biffy due to Simon's vocals, but more experimental. :thumb:

[leiferikson]

Kasabian were at no. 23 in MTV2's best 101 bands, one place above Led Zep. I cant tell you what the rest of the list was because I turned on during Led Zep and turned off as soon as I realised it was Kasabian after them.
