Hey, that's funny, cuz I have mono. Not the band, the disease.

I just bought all this for £24.

The Teardrop Explodes - The Collection
The Simpsons - Sing The Blues

Ha. I see what you did there.

You snuck in two bad bands to trip him up.

Mastodon and Megadeth.

Hah. Smart man.

I'm surprised that those are the only bands in my list that you have an issue with. Besides, the important thing is that he is tricked into listening to them even if they're not his thing at all :)

Oh man that costs like $28 here.

[Zmev]

Oh man that costs like $28 here.

$18.99 at Tower, but that's the only place I've looked really.

Plus its not even a real cd, its that new stupid pocket (well it's an actual cd but you know what I mean).

Cardboard sleeves, you mean?

[Zmev]

Yeah that's the ticket.

[Wanker]

Yeah that's the ticket.

:( I like those. Constellation Records releases all their artists's albums (or most, at least) in cardboard cases instead of plastic. I like 'em because they take up less space and for aesthetic reasons.

[Zmev]

I prefer regular cd cases, they fit all the cd shelves I have on my comp and look better imo.

I bought Suspended Animation by Fantomas for $5 and it was a cardboard sleeve, promo too.

Maybe I'm just swayed because I love all the ary involved in Constellation Records artists. My Godspeed, Do Make Say Think, and 1-Speed Bike cardboard album cases all have great artwork.

On that note, there's a kid I sit with at lunch (although I really can't stand him) miraculously morphed into a pseudo-metalhead over the summer. Therefore, all period he kept telling me to put on "Wake Up Dead" (Megadeth) on my iPod. Great song, but I'll stick to my Stereolab thankyouverymuch. So even though I didn't put it on, he banged along to it with his fingers/hands/feet/voice anyway... all period.

[something vague]

The sleeve things for CDs look more like vinyl sleeves, so I like them much more, but you can't really keep the CDs in those, because they would get scratched easily from pulling it in and out. Case in point, Funeral.

[Little Man being Erased]

Funeral has the worst cardboard case ever.

The special edition of Hail to the Thief comes close though.

[Kyle]

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Gilby Clarke (ex-GnR) - 99 Live or Pawnshop Guitars
Motley Crue - Too Fast For Love
Motley Crue - Generation Swine

All of those should be just not glam enough for you to appreciate :p
I left before y'all replied, I would have so looked for the Gilby Clarke cd. I got J Mascis - Free so free instead, it's soundin pretty sweet:D

[Iai]

There's a guy in my music class who've a serious power metaller. Every time I see him he's either wearing a Blind Guardian t-shirt or a Rhapsody hoodie. He's Italian, which may explain this.

[Dave de Sylvia]

The Euros seem to love their power metal.

[Scott Herren]

Annie's DJ Kicks was released today. Great stuff. The Death from Above 1979 and Le Tigre songs are great, but the album as a whole is probably a 4/5.

[pixiesfanyo]

Yeah about the same, I haven't had a free moment all day. I'm going to bed now, which I'm looking forward to. Have a nice day mate.

Sorry to be late.

So you like the City of Caterpillar?

I even finished the essay!

That sounds like the best essay ever :(

[Dave de Sylvia]

He gets to write that and I get 2 days to write an essay on the changing political cleavages in post-WW2 Europe. :(

Brass Eye is awesome, though.

[Kyle]

I have two essays to write in about 3 days, but I keep on getting side-tracked. I have to write on on Captain Corellis Mandolin and another on A clockwork orange and Battle Royale.

[Dave de Sylvia]

It could be worse; the two I've read are good books.

[Kyle]

It could be worse; the two I've read are good books.
yeah, I should have mentioned that I'm doing the film versions of 'A Clockwork Orange' and 'Battle Royale' as it's for media studies. and the Book version of Captain Corelli. I love all 3 texts so it shouldnt be so bad. Just wish I hadn't left it so late.

Today in school we had a pep rally for the sports teams. Everyone packed in the gym like sardines and came outside to watch the football game all sweaty and reeking, only to be greeted by the terrible cold. Brrr.

I had some nutjob preacher guy on my train coming back from work today. I offered him my seat (he was quite elderly and frail) and then 2 minutes later he starts preaching to everyone about how jesus is coming to save the world. :lol:

People that use public transportation here are crazy too.

[BillCosby]

I'm cool with the english teacher that I'm a T.A. for, so she lets me play whatever CDs I want during class as long as they aren't particularly profane. Today I brought in GNFPWLBN by Modest Mouse and I forgot about a certain part in "Black Cadillacs"... and it was pretty loud...

So all the little impressionable freshmen heard
"STOP **** **** ****ING AROUND".
Much giggling ensued.

Everyone had been completely quiet, so everybody heard.. it was kind of awkard.. :/

[Zappa]

Crumb's review of my album is up. I'm a celebrity.

[The Great Decay]

When I found out you made an album, the last thing I thought of was instrumental. That explains the sudden love of Mogwai.

[Zappa]

Mm, well I am a huge fan of instrumental music, and have been forever. Mogwai isn't really that big of a factor.

http://www.musicianforums.com/sputnik/album.php?reviewid=4085

Parkway Drive are crap, just like the rest of the aussie "hardcore" scene. The only decent band is love like electrocution, maybe Clann Zu.

[YDload]

I didn't make that up. It's just suppressed by Eurocentric historians.

I read up on it and it's pretty much just speculation. No solid evidence, and the fact remains that Columbus still claimed the land for the Spanish kingdom and the control of the Roman Catholic church is what took hold. If it's true, it's not important at all.

Columbus was a Jew. I'll have to get the genealogy thing my rabbi showed me when I get home.

I'm not arguing against your side, but I don't think Columbus was like "Oh no here comes some Jew prosecution, I'd better pretend to be a merchant/explorer so I can get some money, men, and a ship to leave for India in two days." He planned things out a bit farther ahead than that, the sneaky little Jew :)

I think the film is great, but that's only because I have been so unsatisfied with movies recently. This year has probably been one of the worst years ever for films in my oppinion. I prefer the book though, its more interesting from start to finish, whereas the film seems to drag on towards the end.


edit: Jarvis Cocker is on newsnight tonight giving an interview to anyone interested.

Requiem for a Dream the book is incredible. Read it.

[RollerQueen]

I have the book of Requiem. It has about a dozen other books ahead of it, though.

Kyle, how can you say that this year sucks for movies? Haven't you seen The Island? It's like Parts: The Clonus Horror never went away!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!11!!!

[Dave de Sylvia]

That guy The Tway is flipping out at the suggestion. He's also flipping out at the suggestion that our country benefitted from systematic killing or even oppression. I guess I should stop trying.

In fact, I think I'm gonna go to bed, but first I'm gonna celebrate being able to use the word "damn" without getting around the filter.

Damn damn damn.
I flipped out at the hundreds of historical inaccuracies and exaggerations, but then I said damn and everything was cool again. :)

p.s. Tway is a big Columbus lover though

meh, it was ok. I looked at the listings for the cinema about a month ago to find 6 re-makes showing!! now if that's not a signal that Hollywood is lacking ideas I don't know what is.

:eek: Can't believe I have that many posts in there.

I'm so glad it's friday (even though I'm not doing anything, I've had a very tiring week at work (first week of my new job). Went well apart from some pillock abusing me when I had to perform security checks on a withdrawal he wanted to make (£1000).

[Happymeal]

My friend is so excited in seeing Opeth tonight it's creepy. On that note, I'm gonna miss Cryptopsy tomorrow:(:(

One week break for school, a-hell yeah!

I might go see a concert tonight, if I can get a ride from the band members. I'm so cool.

Is it worth paying £43 ($77) to see BB King and Gary Moore (together) on tour in April? I know BB is a legend (don't know too much about Moore) but is the price justifiable?

How is everyone today? I'm happy because it's Friday and I'm going for an airsoft war in a little while.

So I'm probably not cool enough to post here yet, and I know it's going to sound crazy, but do any of you feel like writing a 50,000 words novel next month for NaNoWriMo (http://nanowrimo.org)?

I know, you're busy, you've never written stuff before, blah blah blah blah blah blah. But I did this last year and I can tell you that it's unbelievable (and fun!), whether you "win" or not. Who wants to give it a try?

Hmmm. I write a lot anyways. Sounds interesting. So you win so longs as you get 50,000 words, eh? I like these kinds of things because I work best on deadlines.

[Bartender]

That looks so excellently pointless I might just sign up for it.

[br3ad_man]

Depends what your budget is like. If you can easily afford it, you should go. BB King is badass and Moore is also good and a rock legend.

As for movies this year, they have mostly sucked. I can almost count on one hand the movies I have enjoyed (not the ones that have been particularly good, just ones I have enjoyed). Sin City, Batman Begins and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory are pretty much the only good ones there have been. I also enjoyed Hitch and Be Cool. The Interpreter was a fairly good movie, but there are normally heaps of movies of similar quality coming out in a year. It just seems better than it was because nothing else has been good this year. Sean Penn kicks ***.

Now, can anyone tell me some books I should read? I've just realised that I'm not reading anywhere near as much as I should be. It's not because I can't be bothered, it's because I'm so often dissapointed by books that I can't think of anything I want to read.

[Bartender]

Have you read the Hitchiker's Guide trilogy?

[br3ad_man]

Yes

[Robert Crumb]

Read any Hunter Thompson?

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'm not sure what your tastes are, but right now I'd recommend Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar and James Frey's A Million Little Pieces, both novel-style autobiographies; the latter is particularly disturbing, in fact. It's a rehab diary of sorts, and involves much suffering.

[br3ad_man]

I pretty much like anything amusing or interesting. Last great book I read was "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lahane.

Nope

Nope
Dennis Lehane is a great writer. I think I've read all of the Patrick Kenzie series, and Shutter Island was the one set at the mental institution, yeah? He's a great author.

[The NPC]

Torry.

Yeah, you should be Mister.

[Anxious]

Yeah, you should be Mister.
I am so confused.

[Robert Crumb]

Nope

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is great, very amusing. As is The Rum Diary. Both are worth checking out. The Great Shark Hunt also has a lot of nice pieces of his stuff. Not a novel, though, if that's what you're looking for.

[RollerQueen]

For clarity's sake, I thought The Island was atrocious cinema. A sequel to Boondock Saints is supposedly in the making, though, so that should be good.

I went to a hockey game tonight. During overtime this player on our home team got in 2 fights within 3 minutes. If it matters to anybody, which I'm sure it doesn't, the game was Knoxville Ice Bears against the Huntsville Havoc.

Anybody have the Iron & Wine Bonnaroo performance? If so, you should talk to me on AIM.

I was thinking about getting it, but then decided not to. I'll consider it though.

I got my Alesis Micron yesterday. Then I went over to a friend of mine's for a party/jam and brought it along with me. Around 11 o'clock his dad shut the generator off for that building (they've got like a little family compound), so I was not able to get my stuff home. I waaaant it.

[JonM]

Yes, you're working your way up my list. Once you get toward the top, I'm going to grill you on hippie music and see if you're for real, and then you're in the club.

Oh man, that sounds fun.

I wish I had a buddy to smoke with here. I don't even have anyone to jam with here.

I went to another ska show last night with mainly local bands and got my toes stepped on a lot. They're sore.

On a better note, I just downloaded Duke Nukem and am gonna go play it now.

But my best friend is number 1 and my girlfriend is number 2, which is pretty awesome. :D

Tomahawk is a mxer?

He's 7th on mine. And Bread Man is 37th.

Is there an mx group or something on rym?

Nah, but Iai made a list with a bunch of mxers in it.
