I watched an entire soccer game awhile ago....Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich or something. It was actually exciting....European soccer is the bees knees, people actually care about it. I watched an MLS game the day before, and it was lame.

I just thought I'd share that. I think I remember someone (Butler?) saying Chelsea was their favorite team. They lost that game, but oh well.

Hahaha, the bee's knees? What century are we living in?

Soccer owns. I used to play, but I guess I wasn't good enough.

Ha, I love that phrase.

I also didnt wanna take the time to get past the swear filter to type s[size=2]h[/size]it. But, I guess I just did anyways, oh well.

I played soccer for 10 years straight, it was fun, I wish I signed up this year too but I missed it. :upset:

Anyways I was wondering if someone could explain to me the difference between indie and pop-punk. If not, tell me where I may find this information. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There's a pretty big difference between indie and pop-punk. Pop-punk is punk music that is influenced by pop giving it a catchier, more upbeat sound. Indie is used for bands that don't really fit into a genre and most indie backs have a kind of a laid back feel.

I've heard Taking Back Sunday referred to as an indie band and a pop-punk band. Do they just cross genres or is that just a mistake?

It was a terrible mistake.

Pop-Punk = Popular Punk (Rancid, The Lawrence Arms) or Fake Punk (Avril Lavigne)
Indie = I don't have a definition but its sorta like underground rock or something

Oy.

No no no no no. Don't educate people on genres until you know them yourself first.

Pop punk is punk with catchier aspects. Indie is any music released on an independent label, though the indie sound is classified as a more laid back feel to the music and lighter usually.

I haven't heard much TBS but it's supposed to be similar to Brand New and Deja Entendu would fit into the Indie/Pop-Punk category.

me, i call bands like Taking Back Sunday and Brand New Indie Emo (thats just what i say, its reallynot right) cause they don't really fit in with indie, emo, or pop punk so thats how i classify them for myself

[QUOTE=Understanding In a Crash]Then I found out they retired songs from playing live...[/QUOTE]Thats not always a bad thing. Why did they retire the songs and which ones?[QUOTE=Rancid Dan]It's some American thing, where you can legally get stoned or somehting.....[/QUOTE]No it's not. It is International Herb Smoking Day.

[QUOTE=ColdFire]Thats not always a bad thing. Why did they retire the songs and which ones?[/QUOTE]
I can't remember which one's exactly but letters to you may have been one. That's just egoism when you retire you're own songs and you have like 2 albums..

Women are annoying.
My gf says she feels ignored when I decide that I need some time to hang out with with guys and play some D&D but then when I decide to hang out with her (which i do 9 times out of 10) she gets upset and feels guilty about making me choose between the two of them. I can't win.

Well, yes, women do suck, but then again you're playing D&D so... (j/k I've played it a few times too :-/)

She needs a schedule. Give her 3 days of the week and guys get the others, then there's a balance.

meh, the girl i like is best friends with my best friend...so it works out for me

Yeah man, he reminds me so much of Palpatine that it's not even funny.


You should come watch Warped up here, I guarantee that the Gorge tramples all over whatever puny venue you have in Arizona.

I was actually going to, but I had no transportation and my parents wouldn't let me drive anywhere else to catch it. I'm actually seeing it at home as in Denver though :)

Oh, rite. It still applies, though.

Eh, it's a good venue here in Denver, it's supposed to have good acoustics and it's huge huge huge.

Someone famous (I think Nostradamus or something) said this is supposed to be the last Pope....so I thought up a theory.

The German were involved in both world wars, starting one, and committing genocide. Those world wars could have ended the world. Now we have a German Pope.

So, I'm addicted to Diablo II again.
