I went to go see some local bands play at the Ramada last night, and it was pretty boring.

[IHeartDisco]

I dont know, who?
vallely did :thumb:

[crazyGUITARnDRUMgal]

Jon Brion is a genius.

[ATM]

No, it just bummed me out.
I just asked because of the site you directed us all to.

[YDload]

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.

Wow, Zep was actually underrated for a change.

[br3ad_man]

I dont know, who?

:lol:

[Luxor]

Kasabian are boringggg.

[ATM]

Kasabian are boringggg.

I'm going to see them for the 2nd time on the 12th. The day after I am seeing Porcupine Tree. :cool:

[Happymeal]

Been a while since I last listened to them(Kasabian).

[br3ad_man]

ahh, two public holidays in a row

In other news, I'm going to see my music teacher's band tonight. Should be good.

Embassy final :)

I've exams starting on Tuesday, and the snooker is proving to be a welcome distraction from learning enough to do well in them.

Yeah, it's proving useful to avoid doing essays and exogeses I have to do, too. An O'Sullivan-Stevens final would've been nice though.

[talk show host]

Yeah, it's proving useful to avoid doing essays and exogeses I have to do, too. An O'Sullivan-Stevens final would've been nice though.

Who is in the final?

We lost tv about 3 weeks ago :upset:

[Bartender]

Stevens and Sean Murphy. O'Sullivan lost to Ebdon before Murphy beat him.

I can't deny Murphy deserves his place, though; considering he's only 22 he's been an excellent player throughout, in pretty much all areas of the game (and his last five frames against Ebdon were somewhat awesome). He's struggling a little against Stevens so far, though.

[Dave de Sylvia]

He should have gone in at 8-8, now he's 10-6 down. I wouldn't rule him out, he's been playing some fantastic snooker.

[Bartender]

Well the last time Stevens was in an Embassy final, he went from something like 13-6 up, to losing the match 18-14. So yeah, I wouldn't rule him out. If Murphy wins, he'll be breaking all kinds of records, won't he?

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah, 13-7 against Mark Williams, but Stevens wsn't playing half-bad that day either. Williams was just amazing. If Murphy wins, I believe he'll be the first qualifier to win the Embassy Champ., aswell as the 2nd youngest(Stephen Hendry was the youngest, I think)

[Knifeboy]

:eek:

I thought Alex Higgins (still the best :cool:) was the youngest, at 23. It's not inconceivable that Hendry was younger though..

He'll also be the last ever winner of the Embassy championship, which isn't exactly a record, but something he'll be remembered for nonetheless.

[AndreTheHyena]

Jesus, I finally got the Alt/Indie Poll's wheels a'turnin'. That was a pain in the patoot.

Good job with that. I think it's going to turn out well.

[Zmev]

Are you my friend? His iPod just unbroke as well.

Yes crazy internet man, it is I.

[AndreTheHyena]

I move to strike the Beatles from the Great Poll. Already, they have a lot of votes, and I don't think they are generalized enough to be that important. I should have caught it earlier. . .Agree? Disagree?

[The NPC]

And the forum just got a whole lot uglier.

Heh, I can't wait to see the final results from this 'Poll of the Greatest Alt/Indie Bands of All-time blahblahblahblah' and all the crap bands that will be voted to the top. The polls are still rather bare.

[AndreTheHyena]

I tried. :upset:

[br3ad_man]

And an excellent try it was.

Remove the Beatles I say.

[AndreTheHyena]

Will do. They will no longer appear. Screw you, Paul McCartney.

[Tomahawk]

So will Bob Dylan be removed too?

[Iai2]

I say DON'T remove The Beatles, for one.

Though, it all depends upon whether you want 'The Most Important Alt/Indie Bands' or 'The Most Important Bands For The Alt/Indie Genre'. There's a difference. The Beatles weren't an indie band unto themselves, but they had a massive influence on the genre.

[Iai2]

Same for Dylan.

[talk show host]

Did you miss the link in my post right after that one? hehe

Actually, yeah I did :p

Yeah. Although if they were around today rather than then, they'd probably be classed as alt/indie.

And it's not like they're the only band on there who are guilty of not being strictly alt/indie. Dylan, Can, The Clash, etc...

[AndreTheHyena]

True. Shucks, I dunno. It's just that they're getting so many votes, and I don't want them to end up being the final band chosen, because that's not exactly what I wanted the polls to show.

[Iai2]

I doubt they'll beat The Pixies. Or Radiohead.

In any case, you can always pull the 'undeserving voter' routine, like Med did with Dark Side Of The Moon in the Top 100 albums...... ;)

[AndreTheHyena]

What was that? What happened?

[Iai2]

When we did the Top 100 Albums, Dark Side Of The Moon got enough votes to get into the top 10. Loads of the regulars complained, because when you looked at who had voted for it, it was loads of people who never voted in A&I.

So we discounted all their votes. Then me and Med counted all the people who had voted in the preliminary rounds, and decided who was allowed to vote in the final.

[Iai2]

In any case, would anyone be up for writing little profiles for the bands? Saying how they were influential, who they influenced, etc. Make a real go of it.

I'd be up for doing a fair few.

[sweboy]

People, I need your help. I need two songs, and I need them fast, but I can't download them at the moment. So maybe someone could find them and upload them on yousendit or send them directly to me. Would be sweet. The songs I need are Sublime's "Falling Idols" and "All You Need".

I thought about that, but I am really busy at the moment, what with wandering and working and trying to get a Greyhound home. If we had enough people willing to do it, as they did in the Punk forum, I think it'd be grand.

[The NPC]

I tried. :upset:

Tried and failed.

[YDload]

I just think that all the bands are pretty influential, and ranking them will only cause anger and heartache. Like for me when I realized that nobody voted for The Replacements. :(

well you're an equal-opportunity offender. you can invest the same amount of hatred into a boring, lyrics-heavy band like Bright Eyes as you can with an over-the-top, lyrics-are-meaningless band like The Mars Volta.

True.

Frances The Mute is pretty lame. De-Loused was defintely over-the-top, but FTM sure takes the cake. Theres no substance to it at all. 50% of the album is ambient garbage and complete nothing-ness.

I love De-Loused, but I have to say, I was disappointed with Frances... /me thinks shoulda posted in the FTM thread.

[Zappa]

I just wrote a 4 page chunk of an essay analyzing the plot of Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. It was a great book, but you know, that really wasn't that much fun.

I think that's more homework than I've done in one night all year. My school is so weak.

[Wanker]

I just finished Slaughterhouse-5 today at work. I read Slapstick too.


Vonnegut's the shiz.

[YDload]

I've read Slaugherhouse and Breakfast of Champions. Vonnegut's a great author, and you can read his books in one sitting too.

[biografiend]

I havent read any Vonnegut yet. I've been meaning too, though. Right now I'm reading Walden the annotated version. Thoreau is a genius.

[Wanker]

Everyone I know who's read Walden wants to live out in the woods now :rolleyes:


My friend's hiking the Appalachian Trail because of it.

[Zappa]

Slaughterhouse Five was great, too.

Read Cat's Cradle.

That's the next one I plan on reading. All I need to do is find a copy now.

I like it. But I don't do it out of vanity, or in pursuit of masturbatory self-improvement. I see it as a form of meditation.

On the Road by Jack Kerouac is taking me forever to read.

[Dave de Sylvia]

On The Road took me months too. After the first 50 pages or so, I really didn't enjoy it much, but it was easier than starting a new book every time I wanted to read.

ha, i am hoping i am exempt as well.

[Little Man being Erased]

How do you get to be exempt?

[biografiend]

85% or higher in all classes and you have to have missed less than three days of school the whole year.

[Reaganista]

That is so not worth it.

[Little Man being Erased]

****, that's a sweet deal. We never got anything like that over here.

[Happymeal]

Of the 4 subjects I have this semester, I only have to do 2 finals. Hohoho.

[Zmev]

Ugh, lost election yesterday, upper body workout today (still sore).

[Luxor]

Hmm, that reminds me. I should probably hit the gym today.

[Zmev]

Hopefully I can work out at my friends house before he gets there so i dont condition too late.

[pixiesfanyo]

So, I'm seeing TMV live tomorrow.

*giddy*

[Iai2]

Seen them before?

[Iai]

Ah, it's good to be back in my own skin.

[Bartender]

[Iai]

Yup.

We both made threads. Hers got deleted.

[Bass6591]

[Electrocution]

*fidgets excitedly*

[el doctor]

Some of my friends are going tomorrow night. I could've gone, but I wasn't about to shell out at least $80.

[Iai]

I'm learning to play a solo guitar arrangement of 'Nimrod' by Elgar.

It's so beautiful. Bastard to play though.

[Knifeboy]

I was soo close to playing a beerbottle solo at a jazzclub last night, but my piano playing friend chickened out

[Little Man being Erased]

Ah, it's good to be back in my own skin.
Ah crap, I missed the big moment.

[crazyGUITARnDRUMgal]

Playing goalie today made me realize how much I suck at sports.

[Zmev]

Toodles

[Interstate]

I got a A in my english coursework today - although it hasn't been externally moderated yet that is just the predicted mark from my english teacher. This is good considering I did the whole thing in 6 hours on the day it was due in and handed it in 5 minutes before the deadline :cool:

[Iai]

Well, I did my bit to sort out the ex-girlfriend situation. Thought about it, decided which one I wanted to be with....

.....and hey! After talking to her for about 3 hours.....

Tis, I find that by leaving it till the last minute, I usually end up doing better that way than if I spend absolute ages on it over a period of time.

That sucks man, but you might be better off starting with a clean slate. As cliché as it seems.

Pfft... If I could only be so lucky. The Toronto show sold out like that!

*snaps fingers*

[Wanker]

Calvin: I'm not in the right mood to do work right now.

Hobbes: What mood is that?

Calvin: Last-minute panic.

But yeah, last-minute work seems to always be so much more satisfying.

[Happymeal]

Woah, it's been 3 hours.

[BillCosby]

I'm buying an album tommorow.

What should I buy?

[Tomahawk]

You should obviously buy Everclear by American Music Club.

[Wanker]

So how's everyone doing today?

Today I found out that my Self & Society final is going to be a survey we fill out on how we thought of the class. That lady's getting poor marks from me.

Ahhh, the weekend. :cool:

[Reaganista]

[br3ad_man]

[Well_Respected_Man]

omg omg omg omg omg Ian MacKaye is playing at the Church on the 19th.

As in the Evens? And yes give him a ton of booze.

[Bartender]

Does anyone know a song with a chorus that goes "..we sleep all, we sleep all day, we sleep all, we sleep all day, over" ?

I'm just watching some "health education" video, and it plays on there for quite a while.

[Happymeal]

I believe it's "Sleep All Day" by Jazon Mraz.

[Bartender]

Really? Doesn't sound like his voice. But then I suppose I've heard a grand total of..one song by him anyway. Thanks.

[biografiend]

Tonight was the most fun I've had in a long time. My friend and I went to hang out with some of her friends whom I had never met before (who turned out to be amazing people) and we ended up playing frisbee football and buckbuck while listening to some awesome 80's music.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Really? Doesn't sound like his voice. But then I suppose I've heard a grand total of..one song by him anyway. Thanks.

Hear them all, please.

I'm buying an album tommorow.

What should I buy?

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible

[Reaganista]

As in the Evens? And yes give him a ton of booze.

Yes the Evens.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I like The Beatles less and less these days.

why, cause its trendy?

[br3ad_man]

No, because I am getting horribly bored of them and everyone saying that they are so amazingly better than any other band in existence.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

No, because I am getting horribly bored of them and everyone saying that they are so amazingly better than any other band in existence.

they arent, but certain metalheads say Metallica is the greatest band ever too, that doesnt make it true. just ignore these people and base your like or dislike on what you think. you're a smart guy, dont let idiots sway your views of a band, unless its the libertines, and they suck.

[Iai]

/has fond memories of my crew

[AndreTheHyena]

The Beatles used to be my favorite band, but then I got into punk rock and achieved a certain punk rock mindset and my admiration for the Beatles never recovered. Their early pop stuff is interchangeably replaceable at best, and I hate Paul McCartney. I still love Rubebr Soul and the "White Album", though.

[Iai]

The Beatles are a little too hit-and-miss for me. Their best work is untouchable, though.

[AndreTheHyena]

Completely off-subject, but if anyone wants to Yousendit or send me via AIM "Friday I'm in Love" immediately, I'd be much obliged. Soulseek is down and I can't find my copy of the album.

[BillCosby]

I still love the Beatles.
