My mom said that if I took guitar lessons, she'd pay for them, AND gas.

Do you think she's trying to give me a hint or something?

:upset: I don't suck at guitar, goddammit!

Today was Labor Day, and for those if you who live elsewhere, it's a holiday where you basically get the day off of work for no good reason. Quite the All-American holiday, right? Well, that's all good and dandy, but I had to work for freaking twelve hours on a day where most people get to sleep in till 10, and eat barbecued ribs all day. :mad:

There you go.

I've been listening to so much stoner and doom today. Kyuss has been on my iPod all day. "Thumb" has the catchiest riff ever. Ever.

Everyone check it out. And for those who don't like black metal, the stuff I've made so far isn't black metal, or even metal, actually. They're Ambient-ish, and instrumental.[/QUOTE]
Any comments at all?

Something isn't right though... I listened to a lot of Arcturus as well.

I downloaded Screamager and Stories, and it was my first time hearing Therapy? Overall, I didn't like it too much. The saxophone in Stories was really cool, though. I think it just had too much of a punk-y vibe for me.

You might like their newer albums better, but meh, maybe not. Maybe we just differ on music as well. :p

What do you listen to?



[QUOTE]Jelle: You best put "Long Distance" in there, or I will be sad.[/QUOTE]

Well, I couldn't put it in Part I 1992-1998, now could I? It's a new song. :angry:

I'll put it in the second bit, tomorrow, don't worry, you can download it 25 times. Or something.


Neurotoxin: Good list, dawg.

Has anyone in here seen an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000?

I was just making sure, Waffleslut :-*

Some of my favorite bands are Dredg, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Red Sparowes, Pelican...

If I had to generalize, I'd say my favorite genres are Alt/Prog Rock and Post Rock/Metal. But, really, I'm all over the place...Johnny Cash, Ani Difranco, and Frank Zappa are among my favorites right now.

Oh dear, you listen to a lot of artists that I don't like. I guess we are a bit different. :)


[url]http://www.last.fm/user/Superpeer/[/url] here's mine.


Oh well, at least we both like Arcturus. :D

This is VERY important.

How do I convert Cubase files into Mp3?

Someone PLEASE answer!

I'm beginning to think that Arcturus are the non Black metaller's black metal band. I'm not saying that you guys aren't hXc fans of BM or anything, but it's just that it seems like everyone likes Arcturus nowadays, including myself. :)

Arcturus seem to be more Avante-Garde than BM. I don't know, I love them because there's simply nothing else like them, and their music is nice and dark.

Well, Black metal might just be my favourite genre, so I don't apply.

But this might explain something: They're not black metal, except on their first album. They went all crazy avant garde after that, unless you're a fan of the first album?

Well, meh, I personally don't consider "avant garde" a real genre. I treat it the same way as "math" and "prog." You can't just have an avant garde, math, or progressive metal band. They're just too broad, really. Sure, avant garde is meant to be a broad term, encompassing basically everything that doesn't have a place anywhere else in musical categorization, but still, just calling a band avant garde metal just seems a bit vague. I would consider Arcturus some sort of avant garde black metal, I guess, so there you have it. :p

So is it possible to have avant garde thrash metal...and avant garde black metal etc etc? I'm asking no one in particular, I just want some opinions.

Personally...I think the term avant garde is used waaay too loosely. It's losing it's meaning.

I don't see why not. Personally, avant garde is just a term that means "without boundaries," so if the music is out there [I]that[/I] much, it could be called avant garde. :shrug:

I think Thrash Metal is a genre that is too specifically categorized to truly have avant gardenism (?) in it.

I still think Avant Garde is a genre, or at least a good term to describe certain things. Even art or film can be considered avant garde.
