So today my family celbrated my birthday, even though it's actually on the 19th. I got Tom Waits - [I]Rain Dogs[/I], Charles Mingus - [I]Live at Montreux 1975[/I] on DVD, and a djembe. Djembes are one of the coolest sounding hand drums ever.

Nice.

How's the DVD (if you've seen it, yet)?

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]This bored has gotten me completely addicted to "The Shins" and "The Smiths". Not sure if it's a good thing :p...

So, umm, how's life?[/QUOTE]
Hey the Smiths have some nice basslines, I'll have you know. :p I don't think I've ever seen you post in A/I, good stuff.

Best present ever.

I've already learned "Frankly, Mr Shankly", "Cemetry Gates", "Girlfriend in a coma", and parts of "Heaven knows I'm miserable". It's sad, really :p

I used to post here a lot around early 2004, but then I got completely addicted to the Bass Forum. Now... I'm not. :)

It's fantastic. For Goodbye Porkpie Hat and another song, they have a guest bari sax player and trumpet come up and play, and both of them are great.

Do they play "Haitian Fight Song"?

God, I love that song.

No. But the other song with the two guest players is Take the A Train and it's very awsome.

I'll have to get it sometime. I don't have any Mingus stuff, now that I think about it...

It's a quality performance. You should definitely pick it up sometime.

I think "This Charming Man" was the first song I learnt to play by the Smiths, both on guitar and bass. Still love it to this day.

I have come to the conclusion that Black Flag were the most badass band on the planet.

That's pretty accurate.

I applied for a job at Tower Records today.

I don't even think they have any openings though... :/

I went to 5 CD stores looking for Seven Swans for my girlfriend and none of them had it. :(

Music stores are gay.

Ehhhhh....I think they're overrated. I like the crazy distortion that they sometimes use, but I just can't get into them all hardcore like.

I guess I'm more of an Aquabats type of guy.

Watched American History X tonight. Excellent film.

NINJA EDIT - Happy birthday Daniel!

[QUOTE]Ehhhhh....I think they're overrated.[/QUOTE]

Yeah if anyone rated them.

What the hell? 1:33 and I'm like the only one left in Alt/Indie? Lightweights.

It's 4:33 and I'm here. :cool:

I've been meaning to see that for ages but I'm waiting for a time when I can watch it with my friend. That and [i]American Beauty[/i].

I watched [i]The Man Who Wasn't There[/i]. Highly reccomended for fans of film-noir and modern noir. Also, it's a Coen brothers film, so if you like them you should seriously see it. Finally, it has Scarlett in it, so there's really no excuse for not seeing it.

PS EightMiles, check out [i]All The Real Girls[/i] so you can oogle Zooey some more :)

I didn't really like American History X. It made an impact because of the theme, and it was pretty intense, but I just didn't [I]like[/I] it.

Yeah, this is a greatly overlooked movie. It's overshadowed by [i]The Big Lebowski[/i] and [i]Fargo[/i]. With good reason, those movies are excellent, but this one is top notch as well.

I watched [i]Capturing the Friedmans[/i] yesterday and it was very compelling. It's about family being torn apart through police accusations towards the Father and the youngest son. They were both accused of Sexual abuse/sodomy towards young boys. What made the movie so gripping was how unsure I felt about the characters innocence, throughout. So many conflicting stories made it very difficult to be decisive on what I even thought about Arnold Friedman and Jesse.

time for a computer lesson, kiddies

I rented [i]Amelie[/i] yesterday. I haven't watched it yet, but Yann Tiersen did alot of the soundtrack, so I am expecting good things.

You can find me in the A.

I downloaded Magnolia thanks to bread

Aaaah... Magnolia is probably my favorite film. Paul Thomas Anderson has that special something that no one else has today.
