How do you pronounce Sigur Ros?


And what do you call ( ) when speaking of it?

[QUOTE=XMII;15050214]How do you pronounce Sigur Ros?[/quote]

see-gur row-sh

it's gotta be said in an icelandic accent though.

and i have no clue if that's correct pronounciation because honestly, it doesn't matter, because:

[quote]And what do you call ( ) when speaking of it?[/QUOTE]

people get turned off immediately that I listen to a band not from America, England, or Canada. it's irrelevant what to refer to the album as because people just kind of tune out if you try to talk them about it.

god i hate people.

Sounds like you just speak to crappy people, tbh.

So Russian Circles are finally coming to the UK but I might not be able to see them because of uni commitments and stuff. I'll be so pissed if that's the case, they're playing with High on Fire aswell.

just skip uni for a day tbh

i'd love to see High On Fire

[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.

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.

I agree, except about the weed part

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

So, I take it you smoke weed?

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.

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.

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

Yeah, let's toke up d00d.

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=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.

[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.
