Speaking of good 3-pieces.

I've heard too much sh*tty Sick Puppies on the radio to make me like them even a little bit. Emma Anzai rocks out hardcore, though.

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;17950370]Nice. Post clips, bitch.[/QUOTE]

Maybe, if I can be bothered.

I'll tell you, though, reverse reverb is pretty sick.

Oh yeah :lol: I almost forgot they're over there now. Not many people in Australia know who the **** they are. I like most of their stuff, even the radio stuff.

"You're Going Down" has to be one of the worst songs I've ever heard on the radio. I felt like I was listening to Depeche Mode until the chorus. Lol.

I also get very easily irritated by poor lyrics, and, from what I've heard, theirs aren't anything special.

Wow really? I really like some of his lyrics, some are very cliche' and very angsty, but even then for what they are they're very well done.

I'll admit though, Tri-Polar does have some pretty dicky songs on it, but some real crackers too; although their previous album was a lot better as a whole. Listen to that link I posted.

FunkMetalBass 04-28-2010 07:33 AM

Sorry, but can you define dicky and cracker for me? I'm not sure what you meant by them at all.

:lol:

Silly Northern Hemisphere person.

Dicky is a little bit lame and cracker is ****ing ripper... awesome.

Spaceman Spiff 04-28-2010 11:40 AM

Well, it seems we've found our singer.

BenJammin 04-28-2010 07:01 PM

The new National album is so good.

[QUOTE=BenJammin;17953662]The new National album is so good.[/QUOTE]

I agree.

Well, I haven't listened to the whole thing, but all the songs I've heard are quite good.

funkyhoney 04-29-2010 06:10 AM

Is this the most homosexual thing you've ever seen? I'm not sure what's worse, the "look" or that people think it looks good.

Spaceman Spiff 04-29-2010 10:01 AM

Yes. That is very gay.

funkyhoney 04-29-2010 10:05 AM

Thankyou.

I've liked the others, haven't heard it yet.

Guess I'm gonna do that now, huh?


In other news: What up MX? Anybody got anything going on in life?

funkyhoney 04-29-2010 08:38 PM

I'm moving into a new place soon. Having troubles though as my room mate doesn't have proof of address as she uses PO boxes and only just got back from Europe.

Trying to figure out what I want to do at uni etc. Hating my job, playing music, usual stuff.

FunkMetalBass 04-30-2010 08:40 AM

I've got my only final next week. Not looking forward to it.

On the plus side, Physics III starts on June 1 and it's only a $299 class. Thank you, community college!

funkyhoney 04-30-2010 10:34 AM

Studying physics at uni? Talk about a waste of time.

Having said that, I "wasted" 18 months at uni not finishing my degree. i.e. getting drunk a lot and generally getting mediocre results.

Why is studying physics a waste of time? It's my minor and eventually I'd like to get a degree in quantum physics.


I've been meaning to ask, is "uni" short for "university"? or is it the equivalent of a community college?

funkyhoney 04-30-2010 11:07 AM

What job prospects and monetary benefits does such a line of study create?

And yes, it is. And I have no idea what "community college" is or should be.

Here there's primary school, high school, then you either do trade or go to uni, or work in a shop for the rest of your life hopefully working your way up. Or if you're lucky you can get job placement and do a traineeship, which is similar to an apprenticeship but in a "professional" area instead of a trade area.

There is TAFE though, which is basically higher education that isn't a university, highest qualifications you can generally do there are diplomas though. Mainly they're for short courses and certificates in specific areas. I dare say that's what your "community college" is like.

Physics & Math are huge for research & engineering in nearly all technological industries. When the engineers can't figure out what the f**k they want, they come to physicists. When the physicists need new ideas, they come to mathematicians.

"Community College" and "Junior College" are the same here. Essentially, they offer the first two years worth of schooling and a few certificates and associate degrees. The credits transfer to a four-year university, which is considerably more expensive.

Sounds like TAFE is an equivalent.

Yeah, I bought that iPod. Realised that since not really using my Zune much, I've got an absolute arseload of CDs that haven't been ripped to my computer. So I've got an exciting few days ripping them and adding album artwork that iTunes can't find ¬_¬

Does it really bug anyone else when you have no album artwork, or the incorrect artwork?

**raises hand**

Annoying as hell.

fatbandit 04-30-2010 03:07 PM

I could never be bothered to work out how to do it in Zune. Zune software is pretty, but really bad. iTunes seems pretty on top of things in that respect, so I'm adding artwork as I'm going. It's really easy to see what albums are missing artwork in it too. Thumbs up.

FunkMetalBass 04-30-2010 03:24 PM

So, have you decided to buy that Stingray off me yet?

fatbandit 04-30-2010 03:24 PM

No. Turns out my new JJ P-bass is gonna be ready in two weeks though. Winner!

Anyone remember Fever For the Flava by Hot Action Cop? What a tune.

FunkMetalBass 04-30-2010 03:27 PM

My next beer to brew.

"Belgian-Style Trippel stays true to tradition. Produced from a simple grist of pilsner malt with just a touch of malted wheat and spicy, floral hops, this beer is light enough to quench your summertime thirst without compromising in flavor. Watch out though, this easy drinker packs a punch, and will age well into the fall and winter months. Safbrew T-58 dry ale yeast is included, and provides the soft, estery spice associated with classic Belgian Trippels."

funkyhoney 04-30-2010 06:12 PM

Mmmmm, beer.

burtonbassist_102 04-30-2010 07:02 PM

The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

funkyhoney 04-30-2010 08:12 PM

Honestly I've been getting off beer lately. I used to drink virtually exclusively spirits, then beer, then both; now I just drink wine.
