Nah, Maddox's was a lot more homosexual.

Funny though.

[QUOTE=Moses]There's a thread in the Jam sessions thread dedicated to vocals somewhere I'll post a link.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Just imagine the dialogue.

Random scene: (White Guy = WG. Black Guy = BG)

WG: This guy wants me to blow him! What's this all about?

BG: Da[font=]mn, nigga, you don't know whatta Geisha is? Fo' real!

WG: My only experience with Geisha's is playing Shogun: Total War back in High School.

BG: Dam[/font]n nigga! While you was in rich-boy high, I was selling dope to dumbarse crackas. Fo' real!
--------------------------------
And of course, the inevitable ending.

WG: Wow, I'm so glad we got out of that exploding warehouse alive!

BG: Ya know, I really 'spect yo booksmarts and honour!

WG: And I have come to admire your streetsmarts and skills at stealing cars.

BG: I think we've all learned a lesson here, nigga. Fo' real!

WG: Let's share a strictly heterosexual hug.[/QUOTE]

That's about par for a Hollywood movie, alright.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]It's really good.

It's a Spike Lee movie about a black writer (played by Damon Wayans) at a TV network who keeps pitching ideas for a TV show that is a "Cosby Show"-like take on a black family, but he keeps getting rejected. Frustrated out of his mind, he pitches a new idea out of protest: A minstrel show where all the white actors are in black face and all the black actors are in black-er face. To his surprise, it's greenlighted and becomes a hit, and all the people the black writer knows call him a traitor, and so on.

Some people were annoyed by it, but I thought it was really well done.

I dunno, your comment on black actors in whiteface and asianface (if that makes sense) made me think about that.[/QUOTE]

Sounds interesting. So, comedy or drama? I'll watch it regardless of course.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Sounds interesting. So, comedy or drama? I'll watch it regardless of course.[/QUOTE]

A drama, but it has a few jokes here and there. Spike's not really a comedy guy, though.

Like I said, it is a drama. Haven't you heard of Spike Lee? The guy does not do comedies.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Like I said, it is a drama. Haven't you heard of Spike Lee? The guy does not do comedies.[/QUOTE]

That's what confused me. I've never associated Spike with comedies, but I've never associated Damon with drama. :p

Comic actors sometimes take non-comedic roles. It happens.

Picture this:

An instrumentally-driven, alternative pop band with harsh vocals, blast beats and a raw sound. Picture a hard, melodic jig-like quality to the music.

It's founding members, Jason "Riva" and Jonny "Medopalis" welcome you to the new revolution!

I'd buy that.

So Alex have you been checking out the lessons yet?

I've been going through them piece by piece. Just another few exercises I have to add to my daily schedule.

So I have got a new avatar :cool:. It is Omar from At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta, I change my avatar too much :upset:

Yeah, I recognised him as Omar, even though I don't listen to either of those bands.

I'm keeping to this avatar for as long as possible.

NP - Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell............It seems like a bad idea to listen to this after my psychotic Wall-inspired nightmare, but it's a cool song.

Crap. I just bit my cheek again.

For some reason, all my teeth from the canines back are sharp. Very sharp. If it weren't for my regular-shaped incisors, I'd look very much like I was turning into a wolf. Well... more so than I already do.

When I bite my cheek, I'm usually just upset for like five seconds.

Whenever I bite my tongue, I chekc for blood, out of habit, and only one time did blood go everywhere. That was cool. It was wierd though.

I'm constantly biting the insides of my cheeks. It's a very bad habit I have. :(

NP: Carnivore - Male Supremacy

MALE! SU! PREM! AH! CY! :evil:

Just got back from my friend's house...

He invited me over to play a "gig" (which it really wasn't) he was doing at his camp graduation. It was him (drums), me, and one other guitarist (who was pretty nonexistant). So, we wake up at 7:30...load all our crap into 2 cars, and set off. Usually takes about 25-35 minutes to get to his camp...took an hour. F[COLOR=White]u[/COLOR]cking traffic.

Anyway, we get there, unload all our crap, and set up at the bottom of the stairwell. Some lady comes over who works at his camp, and tells us we'd be better off at the top of the stairs. Move all our crap up. Now we're situated at the top.

He has to go to his presentation, so i get stuck watching the equipment. Anyhoo, he goes to his presentation (which took about a half hour), and comes back. He starts warming up...and half of his double pedal gives out. For some reason, it was so hot, the stuff that held the beater to the foot shaft melted, and nothing would work. So now, he only has a single pedal to work with, which drastically shortens our set list.

Long story short, even though I'm the guitarist and he's the drummer, he ended up playing guitar for most of the songs, and i filled in on drums. He goes back on drums for our last 2 songs (we're playing all mediocre covers that everybody who just learns an instrument plays...), and during the last song, his drum pedal finally becomes unusable. The other half gives out, and we leave the stage (out of like 500 people, only 30 cared about us).

Now we have to reload all the crap (into 1 car this time, mind you), and make the drive back home, and unload it into his house.

Very tiring day...it would have been better, but it was decent nonetheless. Our "manager" (one of the drummer's friends) was quite decent...he kept us supplied with a good stream of cold drinks. :chug:

And now, I'm going to bed. Gnite guys.

It's always good to have experiences with gigs, no matter how they go.

My random new article is up, on Cream.
