Yeah, but did you know who was gonna kill? Hmm?

I hate Harry Potter.

[EightMilesHigh]

I've been awake for about forty-five minutes and am carefully considering going into town today on the bus.

I finished the tune I was working on, and I once again turn to MX for help with titling:

[Iai]

I finished the new Harry Potter, it was sortof mediocre. I totally knew who was going to die.
The death was totally obvious. I guessed it as soon as she announced someone would die.

What was bad about it for me was that JK Rowling totally ruined the plot of the 7th book by bringing Horcruxes into it. Could it BE more blatant that Harry is the 7th Horcrux?

[br3ad_man]

How many negative ratings do you think I'll get if I absolutely TRASH Plastic Ono Band on Sputnik?

It'll be funny. Look at my Coldplay review...I didn't even say it was bad and I got all that. So it should be great.

I didn't know anyone was going to die, so it was a surprise for me. I liked it. It does seem kinda obvious for Harry to be the 7th Horcrux, but you just never know. When would Voldemort have had the chance to make Harry a Horcrux anyway?

[Iai]

He does it every time he kills. Did he not kill Harry's parents while in his presense?

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, true. But he has to consciously choose the object he wants to make the Horcrux, and why would he choose Harry, then try to kill him?

[Iai]

Maybe he consciously chose afterwards.

Anyway -

[Little Man being Erased]

Maybe.



Good review too, very interesting read.

[Bartender]

I wouldn't have thought he'd have been able to consciously choose afterwards, what with being reduced to "less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost" after trying to kill Harry.

I suppose she could try and say that the effect of him surviving the attack could have bent the general Horcrux rule..but then I'd say she was stretching it a bit.

[Little Man being Erased]

That's exactly what I was thinking. I just don't see it happening.

That could always be a further significance to 'the magical properties of the number 7', which, as far as I remember, has no other significance to any of the Harry Potter storylines. She did make a pretty big point of letting the reader know that, which she wouldn't do if it wasn't important. She may also use that to explain why Harry didn't die.

It would certainly explain Harry's psychological link to Voldemort, anyway, which hasn't been explained yet.

[Bartender]

I think I'd prefer if that remained unexplained, though. There's never been a survivor of the curse before, so why should it be?

I think that was one thing I didn't like about the new book, actually. Now that Horcruxes have been introduced, it feels like everything's getting explained too much, if you see what I mean. I preferred it when all we had to go on was that he "was reduced to less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost", and there was something of a bit of mystery around it all. I imagine what she's doing is part of the conscious effort to make the storylines "grow up" along with the children that are reading them, but I think that in trying to make it more grown up, she's made the classic child's mistake (the flaw I know my, for one, writing as a child always suffered from) in leaving nothing to the reader's imagination.

I just hope she doesn't take it too far in the next book.

I'll be quiet now.

Well that aside (can't be bothered going into some kind of cross-cultural analysis), giving away important plot points in any book is just a really crappy thing to do.

I'm not planning on banning you any more, though. And my previous reply seemed a bit harsh; I was just being flippant. I don't mind it at all.

I read the spoiler on Something Awful (they renamed one of their forums to the spoiler just for a few days) and checked my little brother's copy of the book to see if it was true.

My brother bought Harry Potter yesterday, which sucks because I have to wait until he's finished. It sucks knowing what happens without knowing what actually happens, if you get what I mean.

I had a drama excursion today and it was an excellent play that we saw...called "The Memory of Water". Except for the middle aged women stripping down to their underwear. Other than that it was excellent.

Just when I ask this girl to go to a gig with me (She 'used' to like me - kinda long story I won't go into it) she tells me she's moving.

Now I already know this but she's moving in late August and all the gigs that we were looking at are in like October/November time. She's moving about 100 miles away at least so it's not exactly gonna be easy to see her either. :upset:

I thought the horcruxes were somewhat lame. I also was disappointed that the Half Blood Prince ordeal seemed overshadowed by everything surrounding the Horcruxes and could have been left out; but I'm guessing it might tie in with the next book. I also think that the faux Horcrux that Dumbledore found will be important, or else he wouldnt have got it; you can't trick the man.

[Iai]

Yeah, it seemed pretty strange that the book was named after such a minor sub-plot.

It's really funny that you said that, because just before I saw your post here I checked out the thread and listened to the mp3s. And right you were, they are quite swell. Definitely something I'd be willing to buy once they put out some official works. Your comparisons to Animal Collective are spot-on. They aren't close enough for it to be derogatory for the Jolly Rogers, but close enough to see a strong resemblance. It's the voice and the clangy percussion. I'll definitely take a good listen to the demo. Thanks a lot.

It's a slim chance, but I have to go, dammit!

I can't wait for the Kaiser Chiefs tomorow. I hear their live show is a lot of fun.

The best part is they are playing a reallly small club, so I will get in the front row for sure.
And tickets are only 10 bucks.

[asymm]

After seeing them live and listening to this record for a while, I have come to the conclusion that the Hold Steady is really kind of boring.

Man. There's definitely been a lack of love for this band around here recently. I thought the live show was very solid and I love the album. But... everyone already knew that already.

Are Nada Surf good live?

[asymm]

the singer is Drew Carey
Can't really disagree with you there.

all the songs started to sound the same after a while.
Hard to say anything to things like this because it varies so greatly between people. I've found myself still listening to Separation Sunday. I've listened to it constantly since I first bought it. Bah, opinions.

[masada]

I want to see Sonic Youth so badly, or maybe the Mars Volta. I think they're opening for System of a Down. That would be a neat show, eh?

I've been to some other shows. I saw My Chemical Romance and Green Day. MCR sucks live, be warned. Actually, they aren't the greatest studio-wise, either.

Needless to say I'll be at other stages until Iggy shows up.

You don't like Maiden?

[GaggingOrder]

I'm going to Def Leppard Sunday.

My new avatar/user title combination sucks. Agreed?

[Iai]

You don't like Maiden?
No, you have it the wrong way up. I'm arriving for Iggy and then staying for Incubus, Manson, and Maiden.

I heard Mike Watt is playing bass for The Stooges. If that's true then you've got quite a show to see. You should also catch Maiden because their live show makes all their songs so much more powerful (or so I hear). Plus you can see two of my favorite bassists, and maybe they'll be two of your favorites at the end of the festival!

[br3ad_man]

I get it now. Cool stuff. Maiden haven't been to Australia in ages.

[br3ad_man]

If I'm applying for a job at a record store, do you think it'll look stupid if I buy a cd and then hand in my resume? Or if I hand it in and then buy a cd? They have 'Simple Things' by Zero 7 for like $5 and I want to buy it :(

[Jacaranda]

Buy CD first or else it'll look like your sorta sucking up.

Buy the CD first.

Definitely worth the $5, by the way.

[The NPC]

:cool:

Ah hey everyone.

[br3ad_man]

I checked on the website and it's actually $10, but that's still a really good price, so I'll pick it up.

Man, this record shop had better hire me. Hunting for jobs is the suck.

Oh, it's just because I was offered to teach a couple of training classes to other Owner Operators, ICs, and Managers/Supervisors for the company I work for. I'd be the youngest to do it. So it's good times.

[Iai]

Nicely done.

[The NPC]

Nicely done.

Yep, it'll be interesting once I start up with my classes again. I'm advancing a little too fast I think.

[br3ad_man]

Just put in a resume. The woman said they didn't have anything avaliable but she'd take my resume anyway. I did just remember that there's another Blockbuster 25 minutes walk from where I live. I might apply there.

[Happymeal]

I might just try looking for one again in August. Being a FOB sucks. *sigh*

[Zappa]

I was just on the local news squaredancing.

[Dog]

So you're better at squaredancing than the rest of us you don't have to rub it into our faces GEEZ.

[Zappa]

Actually, this was my first time. I went to a traditional music festival for a bit today, and was grabbed for squaredancing almost immediately by two aggresive young ladies that I haven't seen in quite awhile. It was kind of fun.

[br3ad_man]

I love your user title so much Alex.

[Luxor]

About a month ago I was on the front page of the newspaper lighting candles for a cancer research fundraiser. :cool:

Fight cancer! wooo!

[Zappa]

Should have do-si-do'd the cancer patients.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda.

I just stubbed my toe really hard.

[Dog]

Ughhhh. I hate toe injuries. Once when a was a wee little lad(10 or 11 maybe) A friend and I(while barefoot) were playing catch with a baseball and he wanted to practice pitching. One of his pitches went out of control and slammed into my big right toe. It looked like a movie, there was blood just squirting out as if it were a fountain. It got infected, the toenail fell off, and for the next year I had a retarded looking toe. To this day it still looks a bit odd compared to the other toes, and the nail is super hard, but it's not too bad.

But yeah, stubbing your little toe is one of the worst feelings ever.

[br3ad_man]

Ouch

So, first day of work ever today, and I'm knackered! I swear having a shop that's also a coffee bar means there's twice as much work...

I was planning to go to that show for weeks, but I didn't think it would sell out.

[asymm]

I worked 40 hours this week, but they all fell after 5pm. That kinda sucks for my social life.

This thread has reminded me to call the bear place to check my status.

good going.

I just got this album made completely from kids toys and old synths. It's pretty cool.

[el doctor]

So I was on the phone with my brother earlier and he was telling me to look forward to about 40 gigs of music that he's giving me. And then he continued in telling me about how he was making out with this girl backstage at the Beck concert last night. I think a toast in his name is necessary.

:chug:

Wait, 40 GB of music, or forty different gigs in your area?

[el doctor]

GB, which I'm going to need an external hard drive for. Playing 40 gigs would be quite fulfilling too though. :p

[biografiend]

Tonight I went to a coffee house and watched some acoustic band play. They were okay I suppose, although the bongo player couldnt play bongos and their covers of One Headlight and Wonderwall weren't that good. :/

[Wanker]

Whats with everyone changing their names recently?

[Canadian-Guy]

It's the latest trend.

Get with the times, man.

Eeek.

How you doin'?

[JPage54]

Bought two CD's tonight at Cheapo.

Goo (Sonic Youth)

Tonight's the Night (Neil Young). I'm super happy about the latter CD because I've been looking for it for soooooo long, no one had it. :)

[Dog]

Oh man. I LOVE Cheapo.

I just got an email, the best I've gotten so far about jobs.

Unfortunately there isn't, however if you brought in a resume, when an

Dude, me too. I forgot that the one I go too has a huuuuuuuge vinyl selection downstairs. So I got Tonight's the Night on CD and vinyl. I'm giddy.

[vemz]

How you doin'?

Eh, got a new chair and that's good but cat is in hospital for pets, I'm hoping she makes it out. :(

yoooou?

My word, the Red Hot Chili Peppers sing about some sexually suggestive material.

What a coincidence. Sonic Youth opened for Neil Young and Crazyhorse in 1991, after the release of Goo. Nice picks, I must say.

Hah, mine's only one story, but it's a pretty good size. If I had to guess I'd say that I've bought 75-100 used albums from them, and usually I go to them for new releases, too. I love finding used CD's there for only 3 or 5 bucks. If I want vinyl I usually go to a nice local shop that a friend of mine owns, though.


Odd question but does anyone happen to have any good pictures of Artie "The Strongest Man In The World" from Pete & Pete?

There's a few great regulars. But a lot of idiots.

That reminds me, I need to start my poll in there.

I wonder whatever happened to the music geek on that Comedy Central show "Beat the Geeks." As far as I know he's probably posting Alt/Indie right now.

Hello everyone.


So, I went to Splendour in the Grass on the weekend. Pretty crappy festival really. But I did get to see Ryan Adams, Queens of the Stone Age, Bloc Party, Interpol, Doves and Mercury Rev. Interpol were absolutely spectactular, QOTSA were ****ing awesome, and Ryan Adams was a little disappointing (mainly cause the crowd were wankers and he had some technical difficulties - he did have moments of complete awesomeness though).

[Zappa]

I went to a music festival this weekend as well, but mine had no big name bands and was strictly traditional music. I camped there last night, and it was all in all a good time.

[Happymeal]

Happy Birthday Iai:wave:

[Iai]

So tomorrow (today, technically, but what the hey), I'm going to have the house to myself. Having my girlfriend over (new girlfriend - I'm such a slut recently - but I've known her about 2 years so it's kewl). Should be interesting.
