That's an awful long list.

I also think it's vital that my girlfriend meets my friend, just to set everything straight.

Well, I'm not sure where else to start with it.

I am really enjoying this Sonic Youth album. It's my first ever.

It's not their best, actually.

What friend? What is there to set straight?

I think I must have missed things.

EDIT: Oh, that friend. Forget I said anything.

So I'm writing a FA/Biography of The Who, but for no real reason. It's going quite well, but I have nothing to use it for.

Jimmy is fine, although I'll probably feel like I'm eight years old when being spoken to.

But seriously, whatever's fine. Jommy doesn't seem to have that ring to it, I s'pose.

Kind of a bunch of random posting will commence below (but not really):

Can someone tell me about Fear Before the March of Flames? Kind of a cool name to me, but I don't know what they play. The one commercial I saw of them lasted for like five seconds, and they sound like something that would belong in Hardcore/Emo, but I'm too intimidated/wussy to go post there. Perhaps if you could say a similar artist or two, that'd be helpful.

Ray, I agree with you when you say your friend should meet your girlfriend. I would advise against a threesome though. I know, I'm sure that never crossed your mind. Even still, I would say that it is imperative that they at least meet face-to-face so each girl knows and sees how the other's relationship with you is different (and similar, in some cases, perhaps?) than the other. But I'm no Dr. Phil of advice like that. I genuinely hope it works out, and I have confidence that it will.

Oh, and no one is under any obligation to look, but:

I have been peroxide'ing, Neosporin'ing, and antibacterial soaping like a mother the past couple days.

That's lame, no one gets injuries in a wussy sport like baseball :p

FBTMOF is sorta hardcore/metalcore I think, let me listen real fast (I got it from someone off AIM and never listened, oops) I'll be able to help you out with that more in a few mins :)

Yeah, Hardcore/Emo material. I haven't heard them myself, but that's what reviews in the old forum told me. I can't give you similar bands (having not hear them myself), but you could go and check the CD Reviews archive; a user called Darknessca (if I remember correctly), who seemed to sign up just to review hardcore/emo albums, reviewed a couple of their albums.

Those skid marks looked pretty painful AntiHero. I never got into baseball, Football(the American version) and Basketball for me.

Wow, it must be late if I check Sputnik awhile ago and totally miss their name. I mean, it sticks out from the rest of the bands because of its length.

Um, hi. I'm retarded.

I should probably get to bed.

I also could have sworn that I've posted less in this thread than my number dictates :(

Take care, all.

[quote=Vince]Something about baseball being wussy.[/quote]

Okay, you hit a 90MPH fastball with a wood bat :mad:

/doesn't care that you dislike the sport and am just writing more than I should

I just hate that filmy crap that I have to scrape off. That's the worst.

EDIT: Crap, I have to stay and watch SNL... I'm interested to see what SOAD is going to play, and how Johnny Knoxville hosts.

Awesome day today. One of the best I've had in recent memory.

- Woke up and took my SATs. Very easy. There was an anti Quentin Tarrantino queston in the grammar section. Essay = cake.
- Went to giant grocery store Wegmans and got a very good sandwich.
- Went to dance. Had rehearsal for 2.5 hours
- Went down to the commons (pedestrian zone) and walked around with friends. Sat around in a park and talked to a homeless guy with a tracheotomy. He rambled. He was cool.
- Went to friends house where I sat around outside on her porch with hotgirl and another kid who is a hippie.
- Gradually people filtered in and out of the house but my friend, hot girl and I stayed the whole time. Hot girl and I ended up in a bed. Fun happened.
- Friends parents came home. Almost caught in the act. No uncomfortable-ness though. Everyone was cool.
- Watched about half of some movie. Friend flipped out at her parents halfway through and hot girl and I went back upstairs until Friend and Friend's mom stormed out of the house for some reason unknown to me. Dad called and I abandoned Hot Girl who hopes to be asleep before Friend gets home so she doesn't have to listen to whining for a few hours.

The SAT and flip out were basically not so great but entirely outweighed by my day with Friend and Hot Girl (who may be girlfriend or at least unspecified significant other shortly) because they are two of my favorite people ever.

Tomorrow - Record with band mate then come home and do mother's day things for my mother.

Hey Thread

I haven't been here for a few weeks

^yeah same here, oh yeah mothers day is tomorrow, I almost forgot that for a second.

I haven't been in this thread much either, if that's what you mean.

I haven't been in this thread, or mx at all lately. but I'll be on for a couple hours tonight, as well as tomorrow.

Anyways, for Mother's Day, me and my bro are buying my mom a sweet dog from an Animal Shelter. She's a Border Collie crossed with Rottwiller. That's wicked :evil:

You have to brag about this on both forums :upset: .

/me doesn't have any pets

Well, I finished my bio on The Who. Maybe I'll make it an FA eventually.

An FA on The Who would be ace. On a slightly on topic subject: My dad won a collection of all their CDs in a radio contest along with front row tickets while they were touring and a copy of one of their Gold/Platinum album plaque things. It was awesome.

Then I have on done. Like I just said in the CR thread though, it seems like most FAs are about lesser-known artists/bands. As opposed to The Who, nearly everyone knows/has heard some of their songs.

Edit: Nevermind, I forgot about the FAs on The Doors, Guns and Roses, etc..

Yeah, but I'm sure nobody would mind an FA on a well known band that happens to be a good band, such as The Who.

Nah man, it's all good :thumb:

This is kind of for mod approval, or for anyone who thinks it's a good idea, but I'm thinking of maybe having a Greatest Rock and Metal songwriting competition.

We can use resources such as [url]http://www.xsao.net[/url] or [url]http://www.cdzinc.com[/url]

When people submit nominations, they should name a song that displays exceptional songwriting.

So maybe an example of a nomination would be:

John Lennon - Across the Universe (Beatles)

So people could go on forementioned sites and listen to the song.

Of course, I'll only go if Superpeer and Bartender both approve it.

So, R&M regulars.. whattya think?

If it's approved, I'll do it whenever Schyma finishes his guitar competition, maybe wait a few months.

I'd love that, but everyone would overlook amazing songwriting like Korn's [I]Let's Get this Party Started[/I] or maybe Spineshank's [I]Where We Fall[/I], soley based on gerne.

I like it, but while I would listen to every song before voting, most people wouldn't so it seems a little impractical. Kinda like that guy who was bashing Beck and a post later asking what band he was in, only on a larger scale because so many bands would just have a ton of songs on it based on the band not the song. I would alo do rock and metal separate because I've always thought these contests would be better divided like that :)

Yeah, I might have to do 2 contests because Pantera fans probably wouldn't appreciate Simon & Garfunkel lyrics.

Reading through the problems thread... I guess Iai's got a competition, best modern rock band coming up also.

So, I'll wait 'til he's done with it.

He's been waiting longer than me :)

Edit:

Yeah, I agree with Vince, people probably wouldn't take the time to listen to all the songs, or as Eleventeen said people might be biased on writing because of genre and such.

Hmm, today was good. I had a birthday party with some droogs over. Hello.

The voting thread for the competition is up guys :).

It's times like these I wish I had a faster internet connection. :(

You're right, a threesome never did cross my mind. You sicko :p But seriously, in this case that just wrong...it would be like I would be "using" her for sex, and I don't want to do that to one of my good friends.

But yeah, you are right, I need to stress the relationships with them. I need to show my girlfriend that the relationship with my friend isn't the least bit romantic. It's like a brother-sister relationship.

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]It's times like these I wish I had a faster internet connection. :([/QUOTE]
Yeah I'm sorry :(

Everyone vote for me!!! :D

Although I do have stiff competition from lateski. His song is ****in' great. And there was another one I listened to earlier today with an amazing Morningrise-style acoustic bit in the middle, it made me **** myself. I'm lovin' a lot of those entries.

Ramsey, your entry is one of your finest compositional moments. 'Tis also a great use of the POD's versatility, you sure put it to good use on it.

Only question: what are "metal packs?" Some new thing for the POD that I haven't heard about, or something that comes with the XT that I don't have as it's a Version 2.0?

If I knew a d[size=2]amn thing about metal I would rate[/size].

[QUOTE=Ramsey]Yeah I'm sorry :([/QUOTE]

Or maybe I can stream a few of them... or are the rules I have to listen to them all?

Hey, actually they're streaming really nicely.

I may have to submit my 2 cents.

So far, I've just heard your entry Ramsey.

I had a dream where i was wearing this shirt, then my neighbor's face caught fire.

Stop spamming. No one wants to talk about something like that. There was a conversation already going on.

[QUOTE=Ramsey]Listen to as much as you need to have an educated opinion them. :)[/QUOTE]

Quality varies widely between the entries, too, so wherever possible pay attention closely to the compositional aspect. :)

Streaming would be a good idea.

[QUOTE=Ramsey]Listen to as much as you need to have an educated opinion them. :)[/QUOTE]

Yeah, as I said before, they're starting to stream really nicely, haven't gotten anything choppy.

I'll submit a vote tomorrow.
