These kids have a rare blood disease: "Stickittodamanniosis"

[Dave de Sylvia]

I remember when you posted that Steve. Pretty good list, but some of it sucks.

Then I heard There is A Light That Never Goes Out, which I will defend to my dying day as one of the best songs of all time. For me personally, it is the best bar none. I have never had a lyric which I relate to so much. I have never had a lyric which I admire so much.
:o Me too. I often wonder why I'm neither a woman nor gay.

[Jom]

Man, I'm hesitant about making a list. I know I'm going to botch something.

/will wind up doing it anyway because he has nothing better to do than chill

[Killtacular]

Yet you're addicted to Halo. :rolleyes:
Yeah, because Halo actually has depth other than an excuse to see a bunch of old people you never see nor care about.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Keep it bitchy, girls.

[Killtacular]

Yes sir!!

Wanna watch us have a catfight in the ladies room?

There will be hair pulling and all.

I can help you out there. a) we do the Sylvia thing, or b) we do the Butch Walker's lover thing.

[Shadows]

^^^ Your avatar is amazing. :eek:

[Dave de Sylvia]

I can help you out there. a) we do the Sylvia thing, or b) we do the Butch Walker's lover thing.
How about we alternate every second day and swap roles on Sundays?

[Jawaharal]

My sleepytime gorilla museum review will probably be done in an hour or so.

[Shadows]

I'm just about done with my Vital Remains review.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Updated the rules, eh moz? Where did the racist incident occur?

[morrissey]

This is an odd place for you to comment about pit action.

It wasn't one specific incident but in the past few weeks the intolerance has been out of hand. I also ban people for talking about Tommyland in a positive light, but don't tell anyone

[Shadows]

Um...what's Tommyland?

/cowers

[Dave de Sylvia]

Hahahahaha

Yeah I commented here because you were posting here. You seemed pretty angry in your post though, I thought someone had finally told us what they really feel.

Fake edit: SF - Tommyland: The Ride (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=3455)

[Shadows]

Thanks, I remember now. So that comment about banning people who like it was a joke?

/is slow tonight

[Liberi Fatali]

This is an odd place for you to comment about pit action.

It wasn't one specific incident but in the past few weeks the intolerance has been out of hand. I also ban people for talking about Tommyland in a positive light, but don't tell anyone
There's already a rule about racist comments though moz.
1) No blatant, obnoxious, and/or disruptive/blaintant spam threads are allowed. This includes threads offensively attacking race (of users), sexual orientation (of users), and other users/Mods.

[morrissey]

I wasn't angry at all just tired of the crap people get away with.

Then again I'm spamming up this subforum so hey what can you do

ps nice review morriss

There's already a rule about racist comments though moz.
I know it's just never enforced, or at least not with anyone who has been a member for more than 5 minutes/5 posts.

And yes the Tommyland thing was a joke.

[Dave de Sylvia]

That rule sucks because pretty much every comment I make betrays my hyper-nationalism. I'm even racist against Greeks :cool:

(of which Tommy is one :eek: )

p.s. nice slow pace of deleting double posts morriss

[Shadows]

I think we've all succumb to politically incorrect slurs or good-natured racial comments now and again.

[morrissey]

It's better than that crap rule about the listening threads

I think we've all succumb to politically incorrect slurs or good-natured racial comments now and again.
It's still wrong. Anyway some goodnatured ribbing can be handled but when people are being offensive for the sake of being offensive it's intolerable, I think. The rules around these parts have been pretty flexible and they will continue to be, but there are limits.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'm immune from banning anyway. Seniority or something.

[Shadows]

Finished my review, and now it's time to play for a brief time and then sleep. Goodnight everyone, I'll see you all tomarrow.

[morrissey]

Guys guys George Michael review coming in like an hour

[Dave de Sylvia]

Cool, I'm putting my head down for one hour and twenty-three minutes of sleep. I expect to see it when I wake up. Put jokes in too.

[Jawaharal]

Finished my review w00t. Now to watch Bond movies on Spike.

[Liberi Fatali]

Guys guys George Michael review coming in like an hour
George Michael George Michael or George Michael Wham!?

[morrissey]

George Michael George Michael, Faith-era hint hint

There are no jokes :(

[Jawaharal]

George Michael jokes are fun.

[Shadows]

I'm in a Michael Jackson mood right now. I guess that's what an hour of Dechristianize will do to you.

[Jawaharal]

I'm in a Michael Jackson mood right now. I guess that's what an hour of Dechristianize will do to you.
And what exactly does a Michael Jackson mood feel like?

[innerdark]

i coul answer that, but the guy would sue me

[Shadows]

And what exactly does a Michael Jackson mood feel like?
I don't know, but I have a strange urge to be bad and start thrilling people.

*cha cha* 'It's a Thriller........YEAH!'

[Storm In A Teacup]

What's so special about Michael Jackson?

/flame guard up because possible fanboyness for MJ might come out of somebody

[Dave de Sylvia]

He sold lots of records.

4400 people have viewed my SOAD review. If sputnik wasn't semi-anonymous I'd probably die from a fit of self-conciousnessnessness

[Shadows]

My Dechristianize review has posts from about 4 people. I can't believe it's getting so little traffic.

[masada]

Lists are cool.

[Robert Crumb]

4400 people have viewed my SOAD review. If sputnik wasn't semi-anonymous I'd probably die from a fit of self-conciousnessnessness

I viewed it twice. :eek:

[Jom]

Ho, ho, ho. The holiday cooldawg returns!

[Toaster]

My Dechristianize review has posts from about 4 people. I can't believe it's getting so little traffic.

:eek: When did you do one??? I was going to be the first!!!

[Dave de Sylvia]

I viewed it twice. :eek:
Oh! Well including me that's only 4398 people, phew.

[Shadows]

:eek: When did you do one??? I was going to be the first!!!
I'm sorry man. :( I had planned on doing it months ago, I just never got around to doing it until last night. I'm sorry about this.

[Toaster]

I have to admit, I'm pissed. Come on dude, I sort of called dibs. You could have waited for a day or so, at the very least. :angry:

[Shadows]

By that logic, I had it first. Like I said, I called this months ago.

You can still post yours anyway.

[Toaster]

It's a bit different. You expect me to look through months of posting to find that, while you could look a couple posts up and find that I was going to release my review tonight? Not to mention that it's my fourth review, while you've done several dozen. I know it doesn't really matter, but it still peeves me.

[Shadows]

I'm sorry, I don't know what else to tell you. We don't exactly have a "dibs" thread around here. There's not much I can do now. There's nothing stopping you from posting yours anyway.

[Toaster]

It just seems like a bit of a waste of time now. No hard feelings, I'll still put mine in.

[Shadows]

I understand, I know the feeling. Being the first always feels better and it's extremely frustrating to see someone do one before you when you were planning on doing it anyway. I'm sorry.

[Jom]

No harm, no foul, it looks like. It'd be one thing, probably, if this was the old CD Reviews forum, but it's not. It's allllllllllllllllll good.

[Shadows]

Right. Right now I've got a large assortment of things I want to do including Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Wormed, and Limbonic Art. All I need is time.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I just turned in what I think is my best overall review yet. I'm not going to whore it though, I wan't to stop coming across as concieted.

[Jom]

Hahahhahahahahahahahahaha.

Isn't this the same thing as whoring :-?

[Storm In A Teacup]

Well, um, I didn't provide a link for it. There. :)

[innerdark]

Hardly anyone's looked at my edited (see, deleted then rewritten) muse review



:upset:

please look and if you look at least vote on it

[Jom]

Yeah, but it's the exact same thing, really.

For instance, when I was younger (my brother was reallllllllllly young at this point, maybe five or six?), we got my dad an electric dartboard for Christmas because it's something he wanted for downstairs.

My brother, a couple days after Thanksgiving after we went shopping:

"Hi, Daddy. We got you your present, and it's nnnnnnnnoooooooottttttttttt a dartboard!"

Only this time, it's the following:

Kripes: "Hi, Sputnikians. I just wrote a review, but I'm nnnnnnnnnnoooooootttttttttt going to link you to it!"

[Storm In A Teacup]

What the hell are you talking about!?! You have 3 votes for it and a whole page of comments! Shut the **** up!

/sorry if that came off as harsh, not :mad:

:upset: You're right, I'm just dumb.

[pulseczar]

Hoppus that's plenty you got, stop complaining. It's really annoying that people are always saying "please vote" and "please comment". Just leave it be.

[Jom]

It's really annoying that people are always saying "please vote" and "please comment". Just leave it be.

Agreed. A lot of my older reviews were like this when Sputnikmusic was first launched, but that's because it was garnering very little traffic. Now that the community is significantly larger, what's the point?

/overly angry rant

/throws yellow flag

Unsportsmanlike conduct + completely unnecessary.

I'm dumb.

I didn't say that. You just need to be a bit more cautious.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Let it go, they're nu metal.


/refuses :mad:

[innerdark]

it seemed that when i done OOS originally everyone picked it to pieces, i was asking you to look at the redone one

infact, everyone DID pick my original reviews to pieces, it seems that when it's a bad review everyone wants to jump on it but when the review is good people look and think "hey thats good but i'm not gonna vot coz someone else will" thats the mentality i find in my Rewritten review(s)

[Toaster]

It's a lot harder to notice a good review, just because there are so many out there. It's sort of understood that if people comment on your review without giving you any negative criticism, they generally agree with and are supportive of your review. That's from my limited experience.

[Storm In A Teacup]

/overlly agitated rant ending with an f-bomb and an angry unsmilie :angry:

[Toaster]

If someone agreed with you, they'd have spoken up by now.. keep in mind that Nu-metal isn't inherently bad. You have a lot of positive feedback on that review, be happy. :thumb:

If that is what you're talking about.

Um, that's about as far off as you can get really. :-/

I was going on about IamHoppus.

[Shadows]

From my experience, many people here are helpful, but others won't hesitate to tell you something negative. I guess that's a good thing but it often goes too far.

[Jom]

Chevelle are definitely best represented in the nu-metal genre. They should stay there.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Fine, but I'm not happy about it. :-/

Anyways, I wasn't expecting to turn in a review today of anything. I had lost that Chevelle cd and I just happened to find it and I figured why not reveiw it? I shat that review out in about 20-30 minutes.

[innerdark]

i have a green day review, kripes, can you look at it and tell me, if it's an ok first overall tell me k?

[Jom]

Fine, but I'm not happy about it. :-/

Why?

[Storm In A Teacup]

i have a green day review, kripes, can you look at it and tell me, if it's an ok first overall tell me k?


Okay, I'm assuming you've e-mailed it to me already so lemme check it out.

[innerdark]

it's sent

[Storm In A Teacup]

I've got it, but hold on for a response, I've pasted it into word and am currently trying to piece it together. It came to me all weird. Gimme about 10 minutes.

[innerdark]

ok i can wait, i'm, ironically, an insomniac

[pulseczar]

ok i can wait, i'm, ironically, an insomniac

ANOTHER American Idiot review?


:p what a lame joke

[innerdark]

it's an insomniac review, if you didn't know lol


worst joke goes to...me

[Storm In A Teacup]

It's ok Hoppus, but as an overall and having just two paragraphs I can guarantee that you'll get at least a couple flames for it. Try adding a third paragraph in between the other two. Also, you have many grammar issues in it as well. I'll e-mail corrections to you in a few.

[pulseczar]

it's an insomniac review, if you didn't know lol

that was the joke...

I used to be a huge GD fan:upset:

[Jom]

Yeah, nothing like a good stompin' on one's toes for an idea he came up with, hey?

[innerdark]

yip, tis fun, till sum1 loses an eye, or toe, or another random appendage

[Storm In A Teacup]

It's been sent back, I just edited what you sent and added a few pointers. I hope you found it helpful. :thumb:

[Shadows]

Whew, finally finished writing out that 15 song list in the Pet Sounds thread. I think I took it farther then he originally intended, but I love my music. :)

[innerdark]

do you want the renewed one emailed to you?

[Storm In A Teacup]

Sure, you added to it already, or are you just making preparations for when it's done?

[innerdark]

Sent

[Storm In A Teacup]

It's a little better, some people will complain it's too short, but I'll vote for it once it's turned in.

[innerdark]

i have a bad feeling that the review is gonna bomb...:upset:

[Jawaharal]

i have a bad feeling that the review is gonna bomb...:upset:
I do too.

thanks 4 the vote of confidence

[Storm In A Teacup]

Um, Hoppus...

[innerdark]

i was bein sarcastic

[something vague]

Kripes - "Hey Hoppus, I wuv you!"
Hop - "Aww, I <3 you too"

Girly men.

I just redeemed myself with a 1 out of 5 review of Atreyu-The Curse. :naughty:

I think Mazz tops the list for hilarious Atreyu reviews, though. Completely biased goodness.

[masada]

Does anybody actually like Atreyu?

This one interview I read in Revolver with the vomiter is pathetic.

[Shadows]

Is there an Eliminator Sr.?

[masada]

Is there a stfu n00b.

:mad:

[pulseczar]

Anyone ever realized how half of the time people here are putting "Galapagos" instead of "Galapogos"? They're silly.

[Shadows]

Is there a stfu n00b.

:mad:
Hey, how about this.

Go boink yourself.

[masada]

Anyone ever realized how half of the time people here are putting "Galapagos" instead of "Galapogos"? They're silly. You spell spell my name as "something vauge", not "something vague".

Hey, how about this.

Go boink yourself.

Pwn3d.

:(

[pulseczar]

You spell spell my name as "something vauge", not "something vague".

no, that's cheeto who does that, I never do. Check his 10 sputnik reviewers list, he spells it Vauge there.

[Shadows]

Pwn3d.

:(
It happens to the best of us.

And you.

lawlz

[Jawaharal]

no, that's cheeto who does that, I never do. Check his 10 sputnik reviewers list, he spells it Vauge there.
Ya, I'm retarded when it comes to spelling

[Storm In A Teacup]

I can't believe the idiots in that Atreyu review. People complaining, Constant negged it to. :mad:

I wonder if anyone actually thought I was trying to make a good review of that. I wasn't, afterall I did it in less than 10 minutes. :shrugs:

[Shadows]

Several people negged it, most likely because you actually admitted that it was a joke review.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Well yeah it's a joke, it's a bad review I think to. You negged it to I'm betting.

This is killing my rating I think.-Don't care though.

[Shadows]

I did. You know better then this.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm hoping it will be deleted actually. I'll turn in a review of it that is good sometime in the next week.

[Jawaharal]

Dfelon's joke review was awesome

[Storm In A Teacup]

[Explanation]

I just deleted that review. I would have done it earlier, but I was busy fixing other stuff up on sputnik and I hadn't read through every review submitted since I'd last been on, which is what I normally do when I sign onto sputnik. So yeah, that's why it's gone. As a general rule, don't submit joke reviews...they can be quite funny, but even if you're trashing something, try and make it as good a review as you would normally write. Thanks.


Thank you for deleting it Mederator. I'll work on making it an actually good review later, but now someone else will probably review it before I can finish.:upset:

[Shadows]

Dfelon's joke review was awesome
What review was that?

[Toaster]

I can't think of anything to review. I'm thinking about Nile though.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Damn, 4 new reviews on Sputnik in half an hour. I don't think I'll turn anything in today.

[Neoteric]

I can't believe the idiots in that Atreyu review. People complaining, Constant negged it to. :mad:

[Jom]

It's nice to see that people are taking Sputnikmusic seriously. Way to represent the site, Kripes.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Once again sorry, I'm working on it as we speak and it'll be a good serious review. I don't want to turn it in today though cause it seems like a busy day in Sputnikland.

[Neoteric]

Thank you Jom, he is not such a cool n00b after all....

WHO CARES! THIS DOES BE A GOOD THING!

[Storm In A Teacup]

...I realize that, after my mistake last night I think it would be a nice thing for people to forget about it a little and they will with the many reviews being turned in today.

[Jom]

You need an attitude adjustment, kiddo.

First of all, you are not the supreme reviewer on Sputnikmusic, yet you think you are. Furthermore, you're the only person who seems to share this belief. This is one thing that needs to go. However, it's not the most irritating thing.

The thing that you need to stop immediately is your overly critical comments on Sputnikmusic. I could pick out at least five reviews where your comment was "[Reviewer], I think this is one of your weaker reviews..." and then go on a blahblahblah rampage regarding spelling, grammar, and what have you.

Telling someone that he/she has some incorrectly-spelt words is more than likely NOT news to them. Your reviews aren't the mark of perfection, either, but you don't see regulars going through all your reviews with a fine-tooth comb and blasting you that you messed up a homonym.

In addition, it doesn't speak well for you to submit a trash review. By writing something like the following...

Hey Vague, remember when you turned in a reveiw of Hawthorne Height's that got deleted? Prepare to feel nostalgic because (in a minute or two hold on) here's a review of Atreyu-The Curse."

... it shows that you don't take your own writing very seriously, and you are exemplifying what it is to be a poor citizen in the Sputnikmusic community. You're disrespecting yourself and the site. I trust that you won't even think of doing this again. You're lucky that Med didn't ban you... and, oh my God, you spelled "reveiw" the first time instead of "review!" Kripes, that is one of your weaker comments.

There were a couple more paragraphs, but I edited them out.

In closing, get over yourself and shape up, please.

You are so smart.

That's what I tried to say a few posts back in one sentence, but you took it to the max \m/

[Storm In A Teacup]

I never thought of myself as a top reviewer at all. :angry: I can easily name at the very least 25 people who are much better reviewers than me. I understand why you think I'm like that, but it is as far from the truth as you can get.

I take my writing very seriously, but granted sometimes I am quite immature.

I'll do my best to represent this site as a mature member since I don't plan on going anywhere any time soon. I apologize to all those I have ever offended and I will work hard to earn all of your respect back (if I ever had it).

[Jom]

I understand why you think I'm like that, but it is as far from the truth as you can get.

Right, and how are people supposed to know that? Take a new visitor, for example.

"WOW, this guy has almost 1,000 posts on Sputnikmusic!

Wait... how many of these 1,000 posts are genuine comments?"

My (read: Our) point is this: until you prove otherwise, I (read: we) will hold the same universal opinion. This is not asking too much, I don't think.

[Storm In A Teacup]

It's not at all, I understand.

[Toaster]

Just out of curiosity, if you submit a review that gets a lot of negative votes, and it gets deleted, is it still added to your ranking?

[innerdark]

no, becaused if it's deleted, the neg votes are as well, med told me this

[morrissey]

Internet

[Jawaharal]

The guy who cut my hair today was wearing uggs. :lol:

[Storm In A Teacup]

Does anyone else think that it's total bullshat that The Black Eyed Peas won the award for best pop-rock band at the American Music Awards?


Watching the new suckass video for Weezer=Perfect Situation on mtv2 it says they want to release a b-sides album soon. Funny, that's what I thought that they've been doing for the last few years. :rolleyes:

[innerdark]

thats harsh, b-sides deserve better, comparing then to recent weezer albums is unfair


but BEP are not pop-rock or rock of any sort

[Shadows]

I finally managed to get out and buy some new music today. Unfortunately, they didn't have the new Shadows Fall DVD. :upset:

[innerdark]

i know, thats my list though. maybe all of the befor christmas is too ambitious though

i'll do all of them though

it'll take a while but i'll do them

[Shadows]

I'm at a loss for what to do now.The things I want to review I can't, and the things I can review I don't want to.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I might do some more Chevelle and then maybe Geezer Butler's solo album Black Science. I've been doing a lot of reveiws lately, I hope I don't slow down, but...

[Shadows]

You will.

[Storm In A Teacup]

That's what I'm thinking. :-/


...I think it just happened. :upset:

[Shadows]

Unless your life doesn't change at all from the way it is now you will. I used to review as frequently as you, but then I got a job and school picked up among other things.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I haven't gone to school since the Tuesday before last because I've been sick. So yeah, things are going to change to where I won't be on here as much.

[innerdark]

well i've got my reviews all planned out

[Shadows]

I should make a list. I've got so many albums I want to review that I can't keep track of them all.

[Jawaharal]

I could review alot if I wanted too, but I got alot of other stuff I do too. Like my job, downloading stuff, posting on the forums, my various instruments ect..

Edit: A little worthles piece of info but I learned how to play the robot solo on Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt today :cool: I bought some boss phase shifter pedal and it does the robotic sounds quite well.

[masada]

I had a band practice today.

MASSSSSSIVVVEEEE BREAAAAAAAKDOWWWWWWWN.

It was so dissonant and loud that it all turned into white noise, and most of us had headaches for the rest of the day. Awesome.

[Toaster]

That's sweet. You guys sound like you're connected as a band.

We had a band practice today too. I wish my band was that way. I pretty much hate my drummer's guts, and my bassist/singer is a full-blown control freak (who may or may not be gay). The singer constantly wants to contribute to songs, but he honestly has no talent at songwriting. To be perfectly frank, the worst riffs I've ever heard come from him. He suggested to me that instead of being an "original band" (my idea), we be exactly the same as Lamb of God. Yet these people are the only musicians I know who can play decently in time. I practically have to force them to practice, and they have awful taste in music.

It's the most frustrating thing in my life at the moment.

[Jom]

Internet

Yes, well, even the Internet should have its limits, ma'am.

[morrissey]

What's happening to the Wings?!?

[Liberi Fatali]

Help my Vince avatar keeps shrinking. =/

ITP: You choose my next review, either:
a) Rhian Sheehan - Tiny Blue Biosphere (A beautiful kiwi album)
b) John Martyn - On The Cobbles
c) John Martyn - Solid Air
d) Shigeru Umebayashi - 2046 OST
e) m83 - m83

Depending on what I do, the quality of the review will vary. As I doubt I could do M83 as much justice as something like John Martyn, which is much easier to review in my mind.

[Killtacular]

I'm now thoroughly confused.

Our drummer tends to overplay, but it seems that if he doesn't, he doesn't really sound that good. So I gues that's fine with me. The bass played basically does whatever you tell him, but I tend to have a problem with him never really having an opinion on what he wants to do. The other guitarist is a good metal player, but I hate his tone (scooped and hard on the ears), and some of his stuff can come out sort of generic. We work well fine enough, but I really only like one song of the three we have, which is the one with the fun breakdown.

I'm the only one who freaks out and dances around attacking his instrument. I'm cool.

edit: I'm not much of a metal player, either. =\

[morrissey]

Do Solid Air, it's the only one I've heard but I quite like it.

[Liberi Fatali]

Haha. Better now than later in the year when it counts. The Fischer scare was definitely frightening. Things will turn around.

[morrissey]

Hahaha. That's enough to like it. :mad: (to Dan)

[Jawaharal]

I just gasmed myself. I saw the last 30 minutes of a Radiohead concert on tv.
the track listing for the songs I saw were.
1. Idioteque
2. Everything In Its Right Place
3. Exit Music
4. Kid A
5. Karma Police

Thom went nuts on the songs. On Idioteque he kept lifting up his shirt and dancing all weird and spastic. Lots of energy. His voice sounded great live too.

Johnny Greenwood did this awesome solo with a voice sample. After the part on everything in its right place when Thom says "what is it you try to say" he took it and did all sorts of awesome stuff with it. He soloed and messed around with it for a minute or two, but it twas great.

Exit Music was faboulous and Kid A was great. But Thom didn't use a weird voice effect live for Kid A, I think he was trying too because he was messin around on some tool but he looked pissed when his voice was just normal.

Karma Police was so much better live. It was amazing is all I can say. At the end of the song he did another round of "I lost myself" with the crowd and then left.

Great show, I wish I saw it all :upset:

[Neoteric]

My to-be-reviewed list:
Lullabies To Paralyze by Queens Of The Stoneage
Ten by Pearl Jam
Ride The Lightning by Metallica (I know it’s been done to death but I am so not going to give it a 5 or anything)
Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach
Fear Factory, either their new album or Archetype

I’ll think up more with what I could do but that is the list right now.

[Liberi Fatali]

Do Solid Air, it's the only one I've heard but I quite like it. It took me awhile to write, but in the end I feel I have written a review that will satisfy your request. It comes in at just under 700 words long (699 to be precise) and was completed after a lot of help from my trusty dictionary and a bit of help from the ever sexy HeavyRiva.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=4440&genreid=1

I might rewrite some of it tomorrow morning, I always get the feeling that I repeat words too much.

[innerdark]

my reviews list goes like this
(in no partiacular order)

Hybrid theory
Showbiz

why not:angry: :angry: :upset:
because someone already did a great job with them. We need more new reviews for the site.

[innerdark]

well i have dibs on julian cope

[Jawaharal]

ok

I'm thinkin some husker du or van morrison for my next review.

[innerdark]

van morrison, great musician but otherwise an obnoxious git

[Shadows]

If he wants to do a review then let him do it.

[innerdark]

YAY back-up for the n00b
lollipops

[Shadows]

This whole "we already have too many reviews for that album" talk is stupid. Sputnik was made to allow multiple review for every album, so if you want to review something, nobody has the right to stop you.

[innerdark]

if i could rep u i would, but i can't:(

[Shadows]

That's okay, don't worry about it. :)

[innerdark]

ok then

[Jawaharal]

van morrison, great musician but otherwise an obnoxious git
ah hell naw. /busts a cap in IAH's ***

[innerdark]

he's been known to walk off stage 10 min into a show ( my mum was at said show)

[Storm In A Teacup]

The problem that AI had was that bland 4 star T by Ts kept on being submitted so when someone had an interesting review to submit, everyone was tired of it.p

and who's review is that?:D


...:upset:

[Jawaharal]

kripes is da n00beist of dem all.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm just kidding, Supeerseers and Holland's are the best for that album.



Edit:I think it's sad I'm the only one who commented in this guys first review. It was pretty good.

My first review only got one comment.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm in a tornado warning/watch(one or the other) at the moment and the fence in my backyard just blew down. :-/

Apparently my neighbors are building a hot tub.

[Shadows]

Today is one seriously slow day. I just got back from seeing the new Harry Potter movie again, and now I have to write a paper for my religion class.

I've never even been near a tornado. The city I'm in is on a hill, so the city below us in the valley gets all the bad weather.

How was it? I may have to get out there and see it.

Quite good actually. The best of the four so far I think.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm almost through writing a review of QOTSA-Lullibies to Paralyze and will turn it in tonight or tomorrow. Most likely tonight in less than an hour.


Edit: Done :thumb:

[masada]

There is a band called Harry and the Potters. They're hilarious.

I happened to stumble upon them while spending hours browsing through MySpace.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I've read the first four books, but the only one I like is the fourth which is why I might see it this week.


Makeup work for school is a bitch. :(

[Jawaharal]

Don't skip school then.

[Jom]

Don't skip school then.

Better idea: don't do it, period. So long as you pass and graduate, don't do any work, as it's pointless. College/University is all that matters.

[Jom]

Remember that time to that to get into a decent college/university you had to get good grades in high school?

See, I did brilliant in high school. Taking Honors classes has given me [not nearly enough] scholarship money, getting exemptions from required classes, and so on and so forth. However, the work didn't prepare me AT ALL for university in the years I've been here, really. It's a brand new game here.

But there are success stories of the stoner/dumbass/insert other different term here who've completely turned around in college or university. I'm not an example because I dominated high school, but hey.

And then, there are people who all of a sudden get the novel idea that, in order to get a half-decent job, they need an education beyond high school.

[Jawaharal]

high school blows

[Toaster]

You don't need an education beyond high school to get a good job, but it certainly helps. I mean, going to university opens so many more doors for you. It separates you from the "rest of the pack".

I've always believed that, at least.

Actually, recently I've been looking into becoming a plumber. :cool: Not the most prestigious job, but the pay is really good. Plus you get all the chicks.

Well, yes, I agree to extent. I agree fully thanks to your statement after the coordinating conjunction in your sentence, heh. College and uni are not for everyone, obviously, but yes, it helps.

[Jawaharal]

Wrong thing to say.
my dad was a plumber for a while. It was bad income.

[Shadows]

I'm going to college. No question. The question is, what can I do in musoc that won't leave me broke later in life.?

Union guys make good money, there's no laughing at that. Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, etc. make a good living and have great skills.

I didn't think it was funny. I just think its a poor choice.

Edit: Well someone does have to be the plumber

[Shadows]

I know, I was just stating, there's nothing at all wrong with choosing that kind of profession. I think going to college and earning a degree is a much better choice, but that option isn't open to everyone.

You could go into sound engineering. They make lots and lots of money. You could do that after being a musician, if that's what you aspire to be. Of course, sound engineering is a difficult line of work. But just think: you'd be on the road, just like a musician, but you'd be setting up their set, micing/mikeing them up, and making sure they're in tune, among other things.

Also: some people just can't afford university costs. There's nothing wrong with unions, since they make a hell of a lot of money + have support.

[DFelon204409]

Jom, and anybody else post-high school, where are you at in school?

That sounds like a really cool thing. I'm open to just about anything in music except performance. I'm not that great of a player, and although I could be by the time I graduated, the idea doesn't seem to appeal to me. I'm mostly looking for something would require me taking many music theory classes, which I think would be just about anything. I was considering composition or arrangement, but I'm still not sure at this point. It's a good thing I still have a year and a half before I go. :(

[morrissey]

I'm at University of Toronto, double major in American Studies and History. I'm debating switching to a specialist in American Studies, but we'll see.

Go into music education if you can handle little kids/high schoolers :)

Next year or the following year, I start my student teaching. I forget when, exactly. My advisor is kind of a douchebag, so I'll have to speak with someone else.

Jom, and anybody else post-high school, where are you at in school?

I'm a music major but I also am going to have concentrations in math and english. Keep in mind that having a music degree doesn't necessarily mean being a starving artist. In terms of composition you could work on soundtracks for movies, video games or TV shows, write jingles for commercials, or write crappy pop songs for tAtU. Also with a music degree and some economics background you could easily go into working at a recording industry. Some schools (USC and UCLA even offer a music industry major). Another interesting possibility is to work as a designer for music products, like working for a company like Line 6.

[Shadows]

Those are some interesting options. My strength second to music would be English, so any form of writing is open to me. The possibilities in composition look promising at this point. I'll just have to keep looking stuff up to see what possibilities there are, as I still know little about what I could do. The starving artist situation is the very thing I want to avoid.

tAtU :lol:

Go into music education if you can handle little kids/high schoolers :)
That right there is my problem. I hate teaching. :( I wouldn't mind teaching uni, but the idea of going for an extra two years or so for a masters doesn't look too pleasing, judging by what my brother has to go through. Unfortunately, it looks like that's what I'll be reduced to unless I manage to uncover some really sweet career that I'm not aware of yet (which is entirely possible).

What school.

[Jawaharal]

I'm eithier going to major in music theory or sound engineering or be a mechanic/architect. I love to build/fix stuff.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I need to get my *** in line at school. :(

English:58
Science:74
History:78
Math:76
Orchestra:100
Advanced Drama2:97

[Shadows]

I have a 77 in chemistry. I desperately need to work on that. Other then that class, I have A's in just about everything.

[Toaster]

I just found out that to take music in university, you need at least a gr. 9 Conservatory piano certificate. I stopped at gr. 8. :angry:

I'm not sure anymore, I know I'd be happiest pursuing music as a profession, but the chances of me being able to support a family (or myself, for that matter) by being a musician are slim/none. It's an impossible decision because I'm a good student, so income is pretty much guaranteed if I go into sciences or social sciences. Yet I know I'd be happier having music in my life, as cheesy as that sounds.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Go for what you want to do, but make sure you have something to fall back on.

[DesolationRow]

I can relate to this. I am a bass player, but i know that pursuing a career as a a straight musician wouldn't be the most rewarding. So I plan to major in music production and engineering, that way, I can study music AND learn the technical aspects of it.

[Shadows]

That sounds like what I may want to do.

Scruples?

[Neoteric]

I love saying Scruples! in an almost hamster-like voice.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I've always thought that Scruples is the cutest name ever. :)



I'm eating finely shredded kraft-mild cheddar cheese at the moment and I like it also. /:amaze:

[Shadows]

Me too. It's a catchy name. I said it for no reason other then it popped into my head.

I'm proud of ole Scruples.

My reviewing quest is going underway in a few minutes.

Tennessean is a real word. It's even the name of a newspaper.
I'm going to college. No question. The question is, what can I do in music that won't leave me broke later in life?
This is the dilema I'm currently faced with as a junior in high skool.

[Shadows]

:eek: Me is a junior as well!

Tennessean is as hilariously stupid a word as Hoosier.

[Toaster]

Scruples is a word too. For some reason it makes me think of apple peels.

scru·ple ( P ) Pronunciation Key (skrpl)
n.
An uneasy feeling arising from conscience or principle that tends to hinder action. See Synonyms at qualm.
Abbr. sc. or scr. A unit of apothecary weight equal to about 1.3 grams, or 20 grains.
A minute part or amount.

Just thought I'd add that.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I've always found Scruples reviews scrupulous. (it's actually a word:p)


I need help. I'm writing a review, but somehow when I press the enter key it's somehow double spacing, but I don't want that. How do I get off of it?

It's also an 80's board game based on Scruples (hence the name. This is also where I got it from, while watching I Love the 80's [which is also the best of the I Love series]).
