Wooohee. I just cleaned up my MSN.

Everybody on here who hasn't spoken to me in the last month has been deleted.
Infact, the only people from here that I left on were Jezen and Ming-a-Ling. I didn't really know who anybody else was. =/

[quote=LiquidTensionTheatre]Hey guys, one of my friends is currently considering offers from a couple of record labels and is looking for musicians. She says I could drum for her, but this would almost certainly mean me leaving college in order to play on her tour later this year. Do you guys think it's worth the risk of leaving college?

Get a contract, get a lawyer. Have him review the contract. If there is no contract. There is no gig.



Oh one other thing.. "she says I could drum for her"


Sorry pal. When she signs with a record company, she has NO SAY in who the musicians are. The producer and management does. They will prob higher session players they already have on a list of their own contacts.

THat said, try and see how it goes, and see my above comment about a contract and lawyer.


All that said, if it's less then 1,500/week.. don't drop out of school.

[QUOTE=We_Love_Lime]Netherlands lost to Portugal.

Both teams played with 9 men at the very end.

It was stupid.

I hate Portugal.[/QUOTE]
Not to mention the [B]16[/B] yellow cards the ref gave out.

I see you might be a Holland fan?

Portugal beat them in the Euro Cup as well, and in Korea if I'm not mistaken, We'll get em one day.

Hopefully Ghana gets somewhere now.

how many of you guys have heard Streetlight's remake of Keasbey Nights?

milkmit 06-25-2006 07:54 PM

hmm.. my computer bugged out the other day and I lost all my bookmarks in firefox (among a couple other things, like default settings for quite a few programs).

now, for some reason, it doesn't seem to keep me logged into this site when I close firefox....even though I have cookies enabled. is there a setting somewhere on this site that I'm missing that lets you stay logged in?

I have. It's decent, I'm not usually into ska that much, but it's good I guess.

milkmit 06-25-2006 09:05 PM

wow I remember being 14 and totally freaking out over girls and thinking the world was gonna end if they don't like me.......

boy am I glad those years are long, long gone..... :)

hey, here's what you do. if you like her, tell her you like her and ask her out (or, if you don't have the courage, suggest the two of you "hang out" some time).
if you don't like her, just tell her kindly that she's a good friend but you're not interested an anything further with her.

or just lie to her just to bone her. but I'm a nice guy, so I'd neither do nor recommend doing that. :)

Animals 06-25-2006 09:15 PM

ok, heres a random chuck norris joke, u know who he is right? (walker texas ranger)
so it was christmas day, and chuck norris' wife burnt the god damn turkey, that B****, anyways, so she decides to confront him about it. "honey, i burnt the turkey", and chuck norris said "thats alright" and he walked out the door.
about an hour later, he came back in with a live turkey in his hand.he swallowed it whole (:O) and about 10minutes later, he hurled it up, completely cooked, varnished, and it even came with its own cranberry sauce (:>). his wife then asked "whoa, but, how did u do that?!?!?!?!" and all chuck norris did was ROUND HOUSE KICK HER TO THE FACE and said "nobody questions chuck norris.." (chuck norris is teh L337Z0RZ) (:p)

I think so...

Janeway 06-25-2006 09:21 PM

I just watched the Magdalene Sisters on IFC.
The parts with Christine freaked me the heck out. =/
And in the end, when she's standing in the little white room sticking her fingers down her throat and gagging herself made me want to hurl. And the last image.Geez. They show this really hot picture of Bernadette with her hair all wet and down and staring in anger at the nuns, and then a few minutes later they cut to Christine in all of her retarded glory.
Ugh.

It was okay, I guess. A decent way to kill two hours, but not as brutal as I had suspected.

Maggot Dream 06-25-2006 11:04 PM

Well, it looks like MXTabs is closed again. Too bad.

Futuro 06-25-2006 11:14 PM

DragonForce are playing the state theater in St pete. ROFLMAO.

The people who live around the place get pissed off if there is a band there. But as soon as Dr. Dre comes they don't care :rolleyes:

Tang. 06-25-2006 11:24 PM

Thats cause Dre runs that ****.

Double Bass Jim 06-25-2006 11:26 PM

Haha just think of dragonforce playing for fans of that crap, that would be a real laugh.

As cheesy as dragonforce can be those guys can rip hard.

Sunshine 06-25-2006 11:27 PM

I still don't see why tabs keep getting made illegal, there's nothing wrong with them =/

Double Bass Jim 06-25-2006 11:31 PM

They should be illegal to read

Infact I think alot of "Tabbers" can't read at all. Tabs are joke anyway most of these people are 14 year olds who always transcribe works in the hardest way to play mode. If you want to learn songs brush up on reading [I]notation[/I]. Tabs never have the rythmn to follow and they are never right and you'll end up playing things in a more difficult manner then nessescary.

Not to mention your really not learning anything, your just copying actions like playing simon says. Learn whats making the sounds whats making it sound the way it is and you'll be able to play things by ear since you understand music in a better way.

Sunshine 06-25-2006 11:34 PM

Eh, yeah. I don't use them 'cause they give me a headache.

But they're so incorrect that I don't see what the sheet music industry has a problem with.

Maggot Dream 06-25-2006 11:36 PM

They should be used to augment your ear. If you need to learn a song exactly the way it was originally played, then yes, notation is best.

I know tabs were useful for me when I started guitar, I didn't use them so much for drums, and I almost never use them for anything anymore. I think that beginners can benefit from tabs, as long as actual notation isn't completely ignored.
