[QUOTE=Cain]Good afternoon all. I am finished with class registration and am enjoying a well-earned day off. I've got a single in a house this year and [B]I'm cooking a lot of my own meals, which rocks. [/B]

R+M seems to be sagging a bit topic-wise, I may make a few more Celtic Crossing threads in a while. (o noes series thread!!!!)[/QUOTE]

I've noticed that no matter how bad a meal may taste to other people, if its cooked by you then you like it (unless there are tons of salt thrown in there) :p

Looking forward to that series. You havent posted anything for a while and I thought you would stop them (even though you havent started them yet!)

I had that one thread on Michael Hedges, but then everybody started complaining about how many series threads there were and I didn't want to deal with "you're just hopping on the bandwagon" bullsh*t.

I will never give up my search for [i]Epicus Doomicus Metallicus[/i]. Anybody have it?

Hah...I saw the special 2 CD edition of that today whilst in town for £10.00. I was going to ask someone if it was any good.

I hopped on the band wagon :cool:

Meh, I'm glad people are doing series threads, at least there's effort being put in and the resources are all out there to find music that much easier. Plus I enjoy writing mine regardless of whether or not people like them...though mine have thus far had a good response. I'm a little more worried this time because the band is not as well known.

If you like Black Sabbath, they're for you.

I'm going to get it from Overstock.com. They only have 5 copies left!

This post would just ruin the mood. Sorry for bringing another forum's business into here.

PS: 6,000 posts. :cool:

My thoughts exactly. However, I'm afraid most people dont take the time to read long texts and they dont care too much about new bands since they're bombed with tons of reccommendations and information every day.

By the way, do you know if other forums have this series thing?

It's all about elitsim. As soon as something formerly elite becomes the norm the ex-elite users hate it. I really don't care, I'd rather have a great forum and lots of contribution and recognition than mediocrity.

EDIT:This was to Cain

Stoic: I haven't seen them anywhere else I frequent, no. I read a lot of them, there's so much I can't read it all, but it's interesting so I read as much as I can.

I love doing series threads for some reason...which is weird, because I hate writing.

Meh, I guess when music is put into writing, it makes it much better. :D

I was gonna have band practice today...don't know what happened. :evil:

Then I was supposed to go to a movie, but my friend wanted to go to a different theater that we had no way to get to, or else he wouldn't go. Prick.

never been in a community thread

I have to say, this is a pretty fun little thing you guys have going on with this.

And, it's time for me to head home for the holiday weekend. See you all later on tonight.

Moral of the story: Intranets eez sirius bizness amirite? Imrite.

Everyone here with band practice? I wish I was in a band. :(

Don't worry, I don't have a band either.

My trusty drum machine doesn't cut it either. **** this god forsaken Toledo area with its unbelievable lack of musicians! :mad:

yeah dude, I'm worse, I suck at guitar and have given it up :p

I have/had a band, but we haven't had practive or anything.... in like... months.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Seeing as there are too many stupid people (black, white, or whatever) who will buy into it?

I remember hearing somewhere that a study was taken to show the effects of the recording industry's media on the younger generations, and the results showed that a large portion of people who listen to corporate packaged rappers (i.e. Snoop Dogg et al) either try to become criminals or lie about having committed crimes in the past. They also have taken up a mindset of misogyny, refusing to affiliate with any woman who isn't braindead.

In counterpoint, there is a growing number of women in lower class neighborhoods who are trying to work their way up the economic ladder to eke out a better life and are treated with disdain by the above-mentioned dipshi[size=2]i[/size]ts.

Now, on the one hand it's a shame that MTV has succeeded in taking a legitimate musical form and turned it into a watered-down sack of crap that results in a "counterculture" that effectively does absolutely nothing.

But... on the other it's probably better that these idiots stay the hell away from intelligent, ambitious women because if they really are going to let a dumb[size=2]a[/size]ss of a rapper tell them how to live their lives, they clearly aren't the best genestock anyway.[/QUOTE]

Unfortunately, you seem to be right on the money here.

It's a sad thing that MTV and popular movies have taken the concept of "being black" and turned it into something ugly and demeaning. And it's also sad that most suburban white kids (the kind that don't regularly come into contact with black people, if they come into contact at all) eat it up and buy into it and associate "being black" with that kind of garbage.

I got practice on Sunday.

You're not making me feel any better.

If your willing to take a 2 hour treck a few times a week to Cleveland and if you play bass you can join up.

How did you know it would be 2 hours?

If you have a bass than I'll do it. I'll just play with a pick to emulate the feel of a guitar.

Yes he is, don't lie

I haven't been able to practise with my band in a while. My band doesn't have a drummer yet anyway, so it's not techincally a band. :(

Just buy a cheap drum machine. It's a pain in the *** to program but it's extremely reliable.

My band has the members and everything, and we're all quite capable of what we do [thank god they don't want me to growl, lol], but we haven't gotten to practice in so long.

Also me and my friend John [The Chalupa] are doing a two man Death Metal project [as soon as we get a drum machine] called Boner Soup.

Just program drums on the computer. Download Fruity Loops or something.

Me and a friend have been planning on doing a goregrind project, but so far nothing. :( We're not bad guitarists but we'll be hard-pressed to find a suitable vocalist.

Jeeze I haven't been on here in a while and a half, someone let me know what's up. Anything new?

I'm here on my first day of school... hooray...

I also promise to have my Wagner FA up soon if anyone cares.

[QUOTE=RiceMonster]Just program drums on the computer. Download Fruity Loops or something.[/QUOTE]

Possibly, IDK yet, I think just having a Drum Machine would be better in the long run... just to have a Drum Machine.

EDIT: The project is most likely going to be me playing guitar and doing vocals, and John doing lead guitar and bass and then we're just gonna figure out drum tracks later :-/.

How are you planning on playing live with 1 person doing guitar and bass. What you should do is you should play lead and rhythm guitar, and vocals, and he should play bass, and drum machine.

They don't have to play live. I've started recording music with mulitple parts completely by myself. I have no plans of ever playing live with it, only with my band.

Playing live is the greatest thing in the world. I love it. Its so incredible to be doing what you love, and looking out and seeing people moshing. Wow. its THE best.

Uhh... we could get my friend Vince to play guitar, and my friend Shane to play bass if we really wanted to.

Sheesh, I never realised how complicated it would be moving to uni :-/

[QUOTE=munky_magik]Sheesh, I never realised how complicated it would be moving to uni :-/[/QUOTE]

are you moving?

Apparently he is.

Haha, he only just said "I never realized how complicated it would be [b]moving[/b] to uni,"

My Uni is in the city I live. Uni without moving is not cool at all :(

"I never realized how complicated it would be moving to uni,"

yeah, it was like replying to an invisible post :p
