If I voted I would've voted for you Happy :-*

[Luxor]

I basically voted for everyone from alt/indie.

[sweboy]

Alright people, I'm leaving for a few weeks, vacation style. But fear not, for the Sweboy shall return! Return, he shall, so rise, ye mighty people!

[EightMilesHigh]

Have fun, Sweboy:wave:

Anyone else going away this summer?

np: Weezer - Islands In The Sun

[Wanker]

I'm working at a camp all summer. I leave this Saturday. :upset:

[Happymeal]

If I voted I would've voted for you Happy :-*

Same with you :-* Is your camp thing voluntary?

[Wanker]

Yup. It's really difficult to find a job in my city during the summer, so I chose this job to be safe. Plus I'm not getting work-study next year so I need money for the school year.

[Luxor]

Yep, it's a scouting summer camp, overnight and all that jazz. I go in Sunday mornings and leave Friday nights. So I get Saturdays off and one night off a week. I get sleep in a tent under mosquito netting and all that fun stuff.

Have fun man :thumb:

:wave:

Thanks! I'll sure try. I haven't worked there for two years so I hope the other people don't suck.

And needless to say, I'll be plugged into my headphones a good portion of my free time.

On a completely unrelated topic...


I finally saw an episode of Black Books last night (I think it's the new season and it's only just started in Australia). My god, this show is awesome. I don't think I've laughed that much during a sitcom since Seinfeld. Does anybody else like it?

(I know Iai's a fan)

[Zappa]

That new avatar of yours makes you harder to take seriously, LMbE. Your old ones have always looked really respectable. Image is everything.

[ATM]

Is mine respectable?

[Wanker]

Mine's terrible. But hey.

[Zappa]

I like the two directly above this post.

[ATM]

I like it.

:^*

[br3ad_man]

Unwed Sailor. They sound somewhat like EitS. We were in this really small venue that had a max capacity of 40, so the whole show was really intimate and instead of playing guitars, they had 3 pianos, a drum set, and a bass player. It was unlike anything I have ever experienced in my life. And then afterwards we got to talk to them and all that and they were super nice and the bassist and I started talking about Mum and Explosions in the Sky and how I should check out Brian Eno, etc. It was sooooooooo amazing beyond words. They are so lovely. <3

Wow, you're the bomb for suggesting that band. If I were that guy you like I'd kiss you.

[Wanker]

W00t for us. :^*


Hey Zappa, what's your avatar a picture of? I've been staring at it for minutes but to no avail.

[Zappa]

It's a radioshack microphone toy that I absolutely love called "Sing'n'Jam." The photo's all edited up so that it appears more abstract.

[ATM]

What does it do?

I thought it was some yellow teeth.

[Wanker]

It kinda looks like the close-up of a lego man lying on his stomach.

[ATM]

Woah, you're right.

Maybe it's Lego porn.

[Wanker]

Hot Lego exploitation? :eek:

[ATM]

I think we are on to something here.

New avatars might be needed.

[ATM]

I just googled Lego and this was the first thing that came up:

Hah, I might have one lined up already. :D

[ATM]

I'm on the edge of my seat ;)

[Little Man being Erased]

That new avatar of yours makes you harder to take seriously, LMbE. Your old ones have always looked really respectable. Image is everything.
But I like Mike Skinner...

But if my image is at risk, maybe a change is in order. I'll have to think about it.

[Wanker]

And there we go.

[ATM]

Mine is looking pretty good.

[Wanker]

Hehe. /Mr Burns: Excellent

/Homer: Exaaactly. Doh!

[Zappa]

What does it do?

I thought it was some yellow teeth.

It has a microphone that plugs into a speaker box. On the mic is a dial that raises and lowers pitch. The thing has a built in echo effect. I've used it in recordings, and for general boring afternoon entertainment.

I want my Dylan Moran avatar back now.

What episode was it? If it's the start of the third season, it'd be the one where Manny starts working next door, with Simon Pegg from Shaun Of The Dead, and his 'duty-to-do' card.

I think I missed the first episode, so it was probably the second. It was the one where they were writing a childrens book, and they had to burn it because it was too good. :lol:

Alt./Indie is Connecticut. Bartender posts here a lot, but spends more of his time in R&M to give the illusion that he is a "man of the people." Sort of like how Bush was born in CT but lives in Texas now.

And Bartender/Bush wins because of that strategy.

Unfortunately, I only got it about a week ago. I've been looking into getting some John Coltrane.

Yeah...I feel like jazz is such a cool genre, you can't know it all with one album or artist. It's too broad.

Do you like Herbie Hancock? I've got a bunch of his songs; I want more though.

One of his albums (Man-Child) was uploaded in Jazz/Funk YSI thread a few days ago.

His music was all anyone ever needed to hear. Locals say he sold his soul to Satan, even Jazzmen did it, to make him magical.

Did you grab any hot boy backside?

[Luxor]

Yeah, guys like it when you stick a finger up their butt.

Do not believe a word this man says.

Even though he has an awesome user title.

[YDload]

Favorite bands/artists: wow, so many. I listen to EVERYTHING. Includes bands such as MSI, Chimaria, G-Unit, Eminem, Lady Dana, Dieselboy, Alexisonfire, American Head Charge, etc. I have a very wide range of musical taste.

Well, alot of college friends were down this weekend so almost everyone in the central Illinois area went over to his house for a massive jam session which was quite neat, but made me realize that I have below par musical ability. Besides that, it wasnt all that interesting.

NPC: :p

You've been hanging around R&M too much.

[Wanker]

Sorry to double post, but I'm just posting to say goodbye. I'll probably be posting on Saturdays (my day off from camp), but if I don't then I'll be back after camp, I'm sure.

Bye for now, guys.

So long, Wanker.

Tell me what the outside is like when you get back.

I just spent the whole day playing Sims and trying to use Photoshop. Awesome.

[ATM]

Don't play too much Sims, you might start talking like them.

Yip!, the Pixies will be on VH1 soon.

Sounds like it could have been really good or a total disaster. Don't worry, you don't need musical ability to make good music, it just helps.

[Iai]

I bought a Bill Hicks biography, The La's self-titled, and Play by Moby today. For under £10. :cool:

[Happymeal]

I watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith today with the family, it was nice.


Wanker::(

[Bartender]

I bought a Bill Hicks biography..

Which?

[Iai]

Love All The People.

There was a cheaper one on sale too, but that was about twice the size. (In HMV, by the way).

[biografiend]

It was just so-so. I enjoyed seeing everyone that I dont get to see that often, but I've just been having an off week, so I needed/would have liked to have to have an amazing time, which didnt quite happen. I think I do have some musical talent, but I'm just too lazy to play everyday and improve. I am working on a post-rock style project though, which will probably give the me motivation to play alot again.

[Bartender]

I haven't read that one. Is that the one with all the letters in it and a foreword by John Cleese? Let me know what it's like.

Cynthia True's (American Scream, I think it's called?) is good. She did a fair bit of research for it, talked to a lot of his friends and so on, so it's full of great little anecdotes here and there.

Cynthia True has been paraphrased twice already, haha.

It's got John Cleese on the cover, but it's just a snippet saying how much he loved Hicks. There's also snippets from Bill Bailey and Tom Waits. How cool is that?!?

But yes, it's filled with letters and excerpts from his routines, from what I can tell by skimming. I've only really read the foreword, which is by John Lahr. That name means nothing to me though. He wrote a New Yorker profile on Hicks once, apparently, and was a pretty good friend of his.

[pixiesfanyo]

What for?

Top 100 Hard Rock Bands

They are 80 I believe.

[YDload]

Top 100 Hard Rock Bands

They are 80 I believe.

Yeah I remember that show. It's from like 2000 though. Tool is on it at like 92, but this is before they released Lateralus so I was surprised that mainstream music had still cared about them at that time.

also spoilers ahead Led Zeppelin wins

[Iai]

Not really a spoiler, is it?

[Tangy zizzle]

You know what sucks?

Booze.

I'm giving up drinking and starting back on something scene, like smack or valiums or some ****. ****..

[Happymeal]

Why what happened in uni?

Yeah fair enough. Can't be bothered playing everyday? 'Aint that the truth :p

I also have a post-rock band with two other dudes, though we've been pretty lazy and all we have so far is a mess of ideas. We're going to up until all hours of the night tomorrow recording though, so that's cool.

[br3ad_man]

[Big-Bird]

Do you guys drink heavy stuff?

[EightMilesHigh]

The heaviest stuff I drink is coffee. I never liked alcohol.

[Big-Bird]

So Co is good though

[br3ad_man]

I had port this morning in communion. I'm such a rebel :cool:

I think John Lahr was also the guy who Bill wrote a 34 page (handwritten) letter to, when what would end up being his final Letterman appearance was pulled from the boradcast at the last minute.

Yup.

[pinkyeti]

So yesterday I saw the hidden cameras; pretty good show, I hereby recommend it.

[The NPC]

You will in time.

[EightMilesHigh]

You will in time.

Probably.

[The NPC]

Probably.

Yeah, there are going to days when you'll just need a drink or two because it's a way to relax. Well, it helps unwind me anyway.

[br3ad_man]

Niether of my parents drink, but the day I turn 18 I'm going to have a beer. And probably a few more after that day.

[Little Man being Erased]

Drinking is fun.

[Bartender]

Before what he's in now, all of my dad's business ventures revolved around pubs (from owning/running them, to stocking cigarette machines in them), so I'm not really surprised both of my parents drink. I think I'm more surprised that, given this history, they don't drink excessively.

[Little Man being Erased]

My dad was quite a heavy drinker, but he recently cut back quite a lot. My mum drinks as well, but not excessively at all.

[br3ad_man]

My Dad signed something when he was 10 to say that he wouldn't drink, so he doesn't. My Mum gets migraines pretty easily and alcohol gives her nasty hangovers, even if it's half a glass of wine.

Hey Little Man, you know what's funny? Fortitude Valley. My mum was telling me how it's so bad and like the worst place on earth and everything. So I went there on Friday and I was like "WTF?!?!?!". It looks just like any other place.

[Zmev]

I don't drink, no I'm not sxe I just don't like the taste.

[BillCosby]

I don't drink, no I'm not sxe I just don't like the taste.

pretty much

Yeah, there are dodgy areas in the Valley, but there are dodgy areas in lots of other places too. I feel safer in the Valley than I do in the City late at night anyway.

[Iai]

I binge drink.

It's the English way.

[Little Man being Erased]

Speaking of which, I very nearly got into a fight in the Valley on Saturday night. At the place we were watching some bands, this guy was being a complete ****wit to my bro for no reason. So my bro throws a bottle in his vicinity, but the guy thinks that I threw it and he gets all fired up, but his friends drag him away. Then later I was sitting on a couch and the guy throws a bottle which strikes my feet. So anyway, then it took all my willpower not to punch they guy in the face, and he got thrown out.

Woah.

Wow. I would have been pretty close to punching him too. Good on you for not doing it.
