[QUOTE=Kyle;15050484]Sounds like you just speak to crappy people, tbh.[/QUOTE]

I speak to really, really crappy people. The price I pay for going to a college full of gym teachers and slutty future english teachers

[QUOTE=Concubine;15050494]just skip uni for a day tbh

i'd love to see High On Fire[/QUOTE]It's not really uni though, it's more about when my deadlines are for student magazine stuff. But hopefully I'll be able to anyway, should be a great show.

And yeah that must suck, pretty good mix of people at my uni.

bwnstl 07-30-2007 12:01 PM

I actually believe Sigur Ros is pronounced "See-yur Roos"


But anyways, I think we should all make a post-rock band called "Cliche Post-Rock" and it can reallly be a disguise for an avant-garde country western metal band and OMG weed sucks.

Apocalypticon 07-30-2007 12:02 PM

I agree, except about the weed part

bwnstl 07-30-2007 12:07 PM

Eh, every single person I know that started smoking weed turned into someone that I just flat out don't enjoy being around. Basically, I can't stand being around stupid people, and EVERYONE is stupid when they're high.

Kage 07-30-2007 12:09 PM

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Weed does not turn you stupid, alcohol turns you stupid. Weed makes different people act differently, and a lot of the way you act depends on what situation you're in.

bwnstl 07-30-2007 12:14 PM

Umm...they both turn you stupid. And thanks for bringing alcohol into it, even though I never said anything about it.

What I'm saying is every single person I know that started smoking not only wasn't fun to be around WHILE high, but also wasn't fun to be around when they WEREN'T high simply because of how weed changed them I guess. I'm not saying it's bad to change or whatever, but for ME, personally, I didn't like how they changed so I had no desire to be around them. Stop taking it so personally.

Kage 07-30-2007 12:19 PM

I'm not taking anything personally. I don't buy what you're saying at all.

First of all, don't knock weed until you try it because you really don't know what it does to you. If you want, you can be very introspective and quiet when on weed. It can make you appreciate music more. It heightens a lot of your sensations, which basically means if you're around friends, you generally act a silly, don't you? Joking around and things like that. Well, when you're on weed, it's heightened, you just act more silly, etc. Well, when you're by yourself, you think about **** and you're introspective right? when you're on weed, it's the same thing, but even more so. There's not one blanket effect it has, and don't even try to tell me what weed does to you since you've never done it.

It doesn't turn you stupid in the way that alcohol does by impairing your judgment and making it so you can't think straight, causing you to do stupid things. It just takes you to a different place in your mind...the way people respond to that varies greatly.

And this whole story about people going off the deep end when they start smoking weed, come off it. It's such bullshi[size=2]t[/size]. I know so many people who smoke weed and they just act normal when they're not high, if anything they are a little more laid back most of the time which can hardly be a bad thing.

bwnstl 07-30-2007 12:28 PM

Get off your damn high horse and stop assuming so much bs.

First of all, I've never in any posts said whether or not I have or have not smoked, when you just assumed I haven't.

Second, I never said my friends "went off the deep end." I'd also appreciate it if you didn't call it "bullshit" since I'm not generalizing what I'm saying to everyone, so basically what I'm saying is in my own experience; yeah, maybe I'm a liar, but what would be the point of that?
My friends just became completely unbearable to be around--they didn't care about anything, their memories became utter shiat, and they acted like smoking was pretty much the pinnacle of their days.
Before you assume more, YES, these types were the ones smoking every day; I realize that it's a lot difference than smoking infrequently, which I get the impression is what you do. But regardless, I really just don't like what the drug has done to my friends. I don't care if it's illegal or legal, I don't care if anyone else does it, all I'm saying is it's not my cup of tea for myself or for the people I want to be around.

And again, stop bringing alcohol into it, because that has nothing to do with anything I said.

bwnstl 07-30-2007 12:32 PM

But seriously guys...............avant-garde country western metal band?

pixiesfanyo 07-30-2007 12:34 PM

[QUOTE=bwnstl;15051400]But seriously guys...............avant-garde country western metal band?[/QUOTE]

So, I take it you smoke weed?

Kage 07-30-2007 12:34 PM

The only reason I bring up alcohol is as a valid comparison.

Dude, I know you haven't smoked because of the way you talk about weed. It's the way everyone who's never smoked talks about it--completely lacking knowledge of its effects and general knowledge of it.

If you're talking about your own experience and about friends that are idiots with weed (ie, go overboard and make it the pinnacle of their lives), that's hardly a fair way to make an overall assessment of it don't you think? Instead of saying

[QUOTE=bwnstl]weed sucks.[/QUOTE]

You should probably be saying, "my friends suck at keeping recreational drugs in moderation" or something like that. You also should not say such things (things that totally indicate you've never smoked) like:

[QUOTE=bwnstl]EVERYONE is stupid when they're high.[/QUOTE]

That is SO untrue, and it totally reveals that you've never smoked. Like I said, weed takes you to a different place in your mind. The way people react to that varies. It also varies greatly depending on dosage and how much you've smoked in how much time, how long you've been high, etc.

bwnstl 07-30-2007 12:37 PM

Every time I've smoked, I've found it to be one of the biggest wastes of time in my life. Happy now?

Oh, and sorry for not tailoring my statements specifically to your tastes; I'll remember not to exaggerate next time.

bwnstl 07-30-2007 12:38 PM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo;15051410]So, I take it you smoke weed?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, let's toke up d00d.

Kage 07-30-2007 12:38 PM

Not really, I still don't buy it. But whatever. I think if that really was your experience with weed, you would've said that right off the bat rather than all the nonsense about your friends and how everyone is stupid.

pixiesfanyo 07-30-2007 12:39 PM

[QUOTE=bwnstl;15051430]Yeah, let's toke up d00d.[/QUOTE]

It was a complicated burn where I was insinuating you were dumb. Quit taking bong hits.

bwnstl 07-30-2007 12:43 PM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo;15051436]It was a complicated burn where I was insinuating you were dumb. Quit taking bong hits.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, mine was a complicated figure of speech called "sarcasm" in response.

[QUOTE]Not really, I still don't buy it. But whatever. I think if that really was your experience with weed, you would've said that right off the bat rather than all the nonsense about your friends and how everyone is stupid. [/QUOTE]

Sorry, last time I checked I didn't come to the internet to debate or argue about worthless bullshit that I never think about.
Oh, and I mentioned my friends instead of my own experience because they affect me more than my own experience (which as I said was simply a huge waste of time).


Drop this bullshit, it's getting really annoying now that it's gotten down to semantics; you have your opinion about the subject and I have mine.

Cool, cool.

So I'm still into Sigur Ros which is weird cuz they suck and all.

bwnstl 07-30-2007 12:47 PM

FIrreal, I listened to () a week ago after not listening to it for months, and I forgot how amazing the entire album is. I especially love the last half of it.
I thought Takk was still really good but not quite as memorable. I'll have to listen to Ageuskd Byrhesdk (whatever) sometime and see how that holds up now.

PS: I enjoyed the Angel Eyes

bwnstl 07-30-2007 01:14 PM

What are Angel Eyes like?

Kage 07-30-2007 01:15 PM

I think Jake described them as a less good Rosetta.

Dr. Jake Destructo 07-30-2007 01:17 PM

Yeah, with more samples though, which is good.

Still pretty good, maybe a 3.5/5 album.

Do you want a link bwnstl?

bwnstl 07-30-2007 01:18 PM

Ah, hmm....I'll have to check them out since I like Rosetta.

Nepenthe 07-30-2007 01:19 PM

weed and alcohol are good for you

bwnstl 07-30-2007 01:21 PM

I enjoy alcohol; it strengthens my liver.

Shattered_Future 07-30-2007 03:28 PM

I got into a band called Transmission0 recently. Quite good...very heavy.

Kage 07-30-2007 03:29 PM

Hmm I haven't heard of them.

pixiesfanyo 07-30-2007 03:31 PM

I've gotten into this band called Car

Shattered_Future 07-30-2007 03:32 PM

They remind me a bit of Cult Of Luna crossed with the vocals of Jens Kidman from Meshuggah, but different than both. Don't let the description turn you off.

Dr. Jake Destructo 07-30-2007 03:42 PM

Oh holy hell there is no way that could be good even with your warning.

Kage 07-30-2007 03:46 PM

I'm listening to this Sparrows Swarm and Sing band for the Review a Random Album game at sputnik and so far it's a total Godspeed knock off.

Dr. Jake Destructo 07-30-2007 03:47 PM

Thanks for the heads up.

How is it a random album though? I mean, how did you end up with that?

Kage 07-30-2007 03:49 PM

DFelon runs the thing, and he randomly assigned it to me. As far as I can tell, what they usually do is that everyone participating throws out an album to be reviewed, and all the albums are pooled and randomly assigned to someone.

bwnstl 07-30-2007 03:54 PM

Oh yeah Jake, I didn't catch your offer of linking me; I'd really appreciate that.

Dr. Jake Destructo 07-30-2007 03:59 PM

Check rep.
