Yea my dad was like "Christian you gotta watch this".

ATM 09-21-2006 06:30 PM

The part with him riding the segway cracked me up.

The Jungler 09-21-2006 06:47 PM

I've ridden a segway before. They're actually pretty fun to ride.

sexymuffin 09-21-2006 06:49 PM

segways are so pointless.

Glitterati 09-21-2006 06:59 PM

yeah i gots legs for a reason.

Broken Arrow 09-21-2006 07:02 PM

I have legs so I can stand on segways.

The Jungler 09-21-2006 07:03 PM

I dunno, if they cost like 200 bucks I'd pick one up, but 3k or whatever is just way too much.

sexymuffin 09-21-2006 07:09 PM

if i ever saw someone on the sidewalk on a segway, i'd punch them in the face and take it.

I cannot believe that I am taking a class called "From Bebop to Hip Hop: Evolution Of A Music" as part of my Ivy League education. But I like it.

ATM 09-21-2006 07:16 PM

What!? That's so awesome. I want to study musical anthropology.

Kyle 09-21-2006 07:19 PM

Heh, I bet you're the major music nerd in that class, Jon.

Sounds awesome, I'd love to study stuff like that.

JonM 09-21-2006 07:20 PM

I took an ethnomusicology class last semester and it was the sh[SIZE=2]i[/SIZE]t.

[quote=Kyle;13304054]Heh, I bet you're the major music nerd in that class, Jon.[/quote]I wish. People in there make me look like a Republican when it comes to hip hop.

Kyle 09-21-2006 07:22 PM

Well that's even more awesome! some interesting people to speak to, I'm sure.

JonM 09-21-2006 07:28 PM

Very. I'm going to learn a [i]lot[/i].

What did the ethnomusicology class cover? I want to pursue this a bit.

Zmev 09-21-2006 10:00 PM

Yeah meeting Dj Shadow was worth the pounding headache I have now.

sexymuffin 09-21-2006 10:01 PM

Interviewer: "So what makes you more qualified then the other applicants for a job here?"
JonM: "Well, I know a sh[size=2]it[/size]load about hip-hop music"
Interviewer: "I see... anything else?"
JonM: "No, not really..."
Interviewer: "I see..."


A true story that has yet to happen, but will very soon.

superpeer 09-22-2006 09:19 AM

Don't get too excited. UNI SUX

Luxor 09-22-2006 09:44 AM

I'm in my second year, I like it a lot more than the first. I know everyone, there's always someone to get drunk with in the pub at 1 in the afternoon, and I own all the classes doing minimal work because I know exactly what I'm doing.

But then again, I go to college.

Broken Arrow 09-22-2006 10:25 AM

What college?

I assume it's in Canada.

Luxor 09-22-2006 10:44 AM

Sheridan, in Oakville.

Glitterati 09-22-2006 05:20 PM

I was in Auto Tech today and we were listening to the radio, and that really awful Fergie song came on the road. Some of the guys in my class starting dancing to it and it cracked me up.

Now I see the error of my ways.

I see, can't say I've heard of it.

I do know where Oakville is though. :cool:

nutty_bar 09-23-2006 01:26 PM

I just got some free downloads from eMusic. I have 20 right now (will get more) and I am looking for some good cd's, without very many tracks. I just downloaded GY!BE, and parts are good but as a whole I don't know how so many people love this. Lots of it just seems to drag on and get boring.

Eliminator 09-23-2006 01:29 PM

that's because you suck

BJ_maddog 09-23-2006 01:57 PM

for any aussies rage is good alright tonight

Glitterati 09-24-2006 11:56 AM

i had some dreams last night

two of which involved becoming a victim of inner city violence from street gangs

Eliminator 09-24-2006 11:59 AM

I had a dream last night that involved Guns 'n' Roses, building a porch, and Oregon.

pixiesfanyo 09-24-2006 01:34 PM

I have dreams about kittens and picnics at dark.

Zappa 09-24-2006 02:09 PM

Last night, I saw Alice Coltrane's Quartet play one of three concerts for John Coltrane's 80th birthday. It was really incredible. Roy Haynes blew my mind as expected, Ravi Coltrane was WAY beyond my expectations, and Alice did some really nice stuff. Charlie Haden was not loud enough for me to hear in ensemble parts, especially in drummier passages, but his solos were all very solid. There was a beautiful balance between reverence and transcendence of the John Coltrane legacy in the program. They played Trane's "Impressions," "Leo" (a fantastic choice from one of his latest albums), and "A Love Supreme" (as a second encore), mixed with Alice originals, an Indian folk song, and unannounced titles that I didn't recognize. They treated the classic material in a way that was not mimicry of the 1960s recordings, and had a lot of individual personality. I loved to hear that Ravi had a style that was not at once comparable to his father's, and on some of the classic Trane tunes, Alice played electric organ in a manner that did not at all elude to McCoy Tyner's block chord approach to the acoustic piano. All in all, it was just a very enjoyable, beautiful concert. I cried a little bit during "A Love Supreme." You could just feel it throughout the entire auditorium.

[QUOTE=Zappa]I cried[/QUOTE]

hahahahahahaha

Luxor 09-24-2006 05:04 PM

That's similar to a time when one of my friends was at a Paul McCartney concert and he was convinced Paul was looking at him while singing a song.... He then continued to yell "I love you Paul" and start to cry.

Both of you are flamers.

Zappa 09-24-2006 05:41 PM

Haha. It's not like I was bawling. It was just this sort of emotional dry-heave that lasted for about 3 seconds. I didn't even tear up.

Eliminator 09-24-2006 05:41 PM

Suuuuuuuuure.
