 | Masochist Hahaha, thank you! Your birthday was earlier this month, too, right? Happy belated birthday!
|
| Masochist And six months later, I noticed you actually commented on the list, lol! Ban, we're old. I've spent almost 12 years on this site, and your decade comes at the end of 2019 (then again, you escaped).
|
| Masochist Hey! Should you ever lurk here again, I made a 10-year anniversary list last year (because I'm mother****ing old now). If you want a trip through memory lane a bit: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=248968
|
| Masochist Well you know what they say--You think, therefore you do. Or something like that, lol.
|
| Masochist Hello! Good to hear from you again. Hope you're still into non-sucking music. That would make one of us.
|
| Masochist If you're reading this, that means you're lurking on this site. If you're lurking on this site, know that I'm 3000 miles away judging you so hard right now. Also, feel free to say hello :-)
|
| Masochist Agreed. Next time you guys do, let me know. Though I may be MIA until June.
|
| Masochist Hahaha, it's been a very long while since we T-chatted. Very fun; surprised you even lurk here anymore! Though next time, it'd be nice if it were a BIT earlier...:-P
|
 | Spec was gonna text you but i came here instead
|
 | wabbit Yeah he's crazy good and charming and mancrush-able. I wasn't big on the new album until super recently but it's almost as good too.
|
 | Aids noooooo :( that sucks man, sorry BC was a bad time. I can't speak for the rest of the province, but the island and Vancouver are sweet. if you come visit ever (for some reason) I will introduce you to some babes WHO ARE ALSO super nice and will be goooood to banion. we should chat sometime, it's been a while. hope all is good.
|
| Spec I knew you'd be back. They always come back.
|
| Spec I saw that you commented on something, DONT THINK I DIDNT SEE THAT. Cause I totally did.
|
 | Kellerdeck Check My bands album out? :3 http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/48721/Rest-Rest/We did an interview, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FvC8OOHz4wAnd NOT a spam, just attempting to get listeners and interest.
|
 | taxidermist Thanks brah! I made it with the help of some pretty cool users on this website called sputnikmusic.com :p
|
 | balcaen yeah i know. halfway through my drive back home i became really unimpressed with myself and i was all "dammit". it was pretty cool to meet all of you!
|
| balcaen hey, when did you move? that's sweet. a belated "welcome to cowtown" for you!
|
 | Sanders P.S. You have a cracking taste in music :)
|
| Sanders Hey, how's it going? I came across your featured list the other day, and ended up checking out your previous lists. I know it's way late, but I'm so sorry for your loss. From what I've seen on here the pair of you were a couple of the nicest people around, and the world is a less friendly place as a result of what happened. I know I have no right to leave a message like this, having had no interaction with you on the site, but I just thought I'd offer my respects.
|
| wabbit dude you are like the only person on the site who likes matt good more than me, well done sir. Check out Dan Mangan- Nice, Nice, Very Nice if you haven't you'd probs dig it.
|
 | sonictheplumber ignore rambo, he is the worst user ever and he is a cock face
|
 | Apollo tinychat tonight, approximately 4 hours from now, be on (10pm EST)
|
 | demigod! thanks a bunch, i just have a hard time getting close to people, especially online
|
 | aok ferociouslettuce = me btw. catchya later on turntable
|
 | Stokes Heh, just lettin' y'all know I appreciate ya. ;)
|
 | foreverendeared That's okay, it's been a little while since I've been in tinychat anyways :P
|
 | flapjak well can you tell me what a soundoff is then hahaha, i noticed lol
|
| taxidermist Thank you for saving me from going down the wrong path :p
|
| flapjak lol, yeah i have no idea who those people are hahahaha
|
 | Samshine Hey babeh! No kidding hey? Havn't been on much, super busy with work and volunteer stuff. How's it going? Think the last time i talked to you was the pm with what happend with your roomate, hopefully everything turned out okay.
|
| Aids Viva la Viva is NOT a 3. That's seriously one of my favourite albums. I hate you now.
|
| Aids well thank you I do have pretty impeccable taste. Yours seems pretty good too but I can't really tell because you haven't rated much 2011 stuff. oh em gee can I make you a gigantic list of recs from this year?
|
 | qwe3 you cut me? owch. well that's a painful revelation. nah jaykay we never really talk but cheers for the shoutout
|
| qwe3 hah, glad you appreciated my lil tirade against the more pathetic users of the site (although dnor is p cool)
|
 | SeaAnemone thanks for the shout-out :) not sure if this will make you happy or sad :/ but in all honesty I think about YouAreMySilence and how awesome of a user I knew him to be every time I listen to Sleepingdog, truth be told
|
| taxidermist You made a list, with me on it! :O I must see! I've been busy playing pokemon, though. My little sis let me play her Black version. Don't judge me :p
|
 | Wolfhorde No offense, but the **** is wrong with you? You don't like onions and you think Eric is allround nice? That's just wrong.
|
| Wolfhorde It's not bad, it's just the odds that always when I read your name on a list I immediatly get hungry and associate onions with delicious grilled cheese sandwiches.
|
| Wolfhorde Your name always makes me think of onions.
|
| Spec You can't ask that then not reply! Are YOU from Calgary?
|
 | kris. but you're on the list idk what your'e talking about
|
| Aids hahaha get on tinychat loser
|
| kris. WHY DO YOU TUG AT MY HEARTSTRINGS LIKE THIS MARINA
|
| Aids I don't know if that was intended to be sexy or not but it f*cking was haha
|
| Aids Banion. haha what?
|
 | WeepingBanana it was def more than okay. i mean i was exaggerating when i said "****ing gorgeous" but i still loved it
|
| Aids you haven't rated an album in the past 2 and a half months what the hell. you need to hear more new stuff.
|
| Masochist Just 'cause I posted it everywhere else: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b99/JetWarrior/Pictures to share/ftge9v.jpg
|
| taxidermist Ok, I'm done. I'll make the list right now.
|
| taxidermist Haha, alright then. Give me 10-15 minutes. I need to go handle some s*** real quick :p
|
| taxidermist I'm down with a tinychat tonight, haha. Should one of us make a list or something? Or just tell the cool people about it :p
|
| taxidermist Haha, it's like I told my friend back in high school. I'm like a unicorn. Always talked about but rarely seen :p Idk, why haven't we talked? Haha. I enjoy talking to you :3
|
| taxidermist Sup Banion. I haven't seen you around on here for a while.
|
 | Iluvatar i just wanted to let you know: psst, kris really is gay
|
| kris. woah woman i aint gay
|
| Aids holy s*** holy s*** holy s*** you're missing it, some guy from the forums is on webcam in tinychat and has his penis out. like, he's beating off for the camera hahahahahaha so ****ed up
|
| Aids your next sputnik profile picture better include me O_O
|
| Aids totally worth it though. internet friends are the bessssssssst.
|
 | pillowswantyoursoul They just want to get it in. Texting is a heaps effective strategy for dumb girls.
|
| pillowswantyoursoul You've got some skills. What if something comes up during a conversation and you can tell someone doesn't feel all that good. Would you still be as cold as my black heart of kvlt?
|
| pillowswantyoursoul Damn, I always answer with s***ty. I hate it when people try and press me into explaining everything about why I don't feel good at that time. Just makes the awkward moment worse.
|
| pillowswantyoursoul What's worse is when people say how are you, and then a really formulaic awkward conversation ensues.
|
| pillowswantyoursoul s***, now I have to say something. Sorry about how I act sometimes on tinychat btw. I get pretty caught up in the atmosphere.
|
| Aids hey good tinychat last night, I'm surprised that place didn't explode with a girl in it.
|
 | Kimm I don't think you'll have issues with me - as long as we have mutual house rules/values? I don't blast Britney Spears btw. Haha.
|
| Kimm Hey. Were you serious about moving in with me? (If not, I feel stupid.) If so, how serious/structured are your plans right now? I think it would be really cool.
|
| Masochist 'Sup, Banion (I'm just making sure I'm still signed in before I post this long-ass list).
|
| Samshine Hahaha! Aww shiiitt.. Mine's probably yet to come, Just joined last month haha
|
 | Maniac! You should listen to rishloo - feathergun ASAP
|
 | 37er00 you aint scared to make lists and do er
|
 | shrapnel some users on here seem to have very strong "convictions" but they represent every negative stereotype of religious fanatics
|
| taxidermist I've never even rated something that high after 1 listen! Haha. I really liked it and am glad you introduced me. Hopefully I can do the same :p Further listens will determine if it's a 5, haha. I rarely give out 5's :p
|
| shrapnel well sometimes when what you believe in (like losing a loved one) is taken away you seek comfort in other things (religion) but realize that it's hard to replace people with religion. we just need something more real like you said, and religion is not that, and the people at church def aren't
|
| shrapnel as you kid though you eat stories like the tooth fairy, santa claus, Noah's Ark, as you get older, they no longer add up. how old were you when you became religious?
|
| taxidermist I see myself getting addicted to it, lol. It's like one of those albums you can get lost in. The music creates like an atmosphere, it's crazy. Then there were those parts where I heard like a trumpet or something; made it so much better. Also the last chorus in Epilogue gave me goosebumps. So emotional :p
|
| taxidermist That was a good album. Might be the only thing I listen to for a while. It had been a while since I heard something that good :)
|
| shrapnel the thing is: it's easy to believe when things are going good, when they go bad, THAT'S when you find out what your true beliefs are. also, as you get older you become more skeptical. at least in my case, I could no longer believe some of the stories in the bible anymore
|
| taxidermist I checked out that album you told me about... that last song... V_V
|
| shrapnel a few years ago, my best friend was going to law school, was a year away from finishing and was killed in a car accident. It made me question everything I believed in. When something like that happens you see things in a totally different way(not that I need to tell YOU that)
|
| shrapnel it's not very common for a young person (teenager at the time I assume)to seek god on their own, that's why it's surprising to me
|
| shrapnel that's pretty unbelievable to me. so how/why did YOU become religious then?
|
| shrapnel so your parents aren't religious? !!!
|
| shrapnel I was raised catholic but there came a time were I WANTED to believe but I had some things happen in my life that really tested my faith (which turned out to not be very strong)
|
| shrapnel when did that change? if you don't mind me asking. and why?
|
| shrapnel so your religious right? christian?
|
| shrapnel haha! well thanks. are you still on here a lot and just don't post?
|
| taxidermist True, but winners never back down, hahaha ;)
|
| taxidermist Yeah, I'm like married to this thing! We should chat again, Ha! I think I deserve a rematch :p
|
| taxidermist Why not? Lol, do you always sleep late? Hell yeah, get a mac. I got my laptop late November and I love this s***!
|
| taxidermist You can catch up on your sleep tonight :D Really? Cool! What type of laptop is it? I got like a flannel shirt, an argyle sweater, and two thermal shirts. I need to buy myself an iPod!
|
| taxidermist That's pretty good. You're probably well rested now :D So how did your christmas go? Get any cool presents?
|
| taxidermist Whaaaaat! It's not my fault were in different places, hahaha. I guess you win...this time :p What time did you wake up?
|
| taxidermist Hmmm...probably right when you logged off! Haha. You probably X-ed out and fell on the spot. You looked pretty sleepy :p
|
| taxidermist Idk...maybe, Hahaha. What time did you got to sleep?
|
| taxidermist Ha, I went to sleep iike right when you said bye! I was about to hit the hay and then you sprang up! Lol.
|
| Masochist Just wanted you to know that I absolutely blame you for the recent Tinychat craze here on Sputnik. And for my own addiction to it...what plague have you wrought upon our site!? (Nevermind that you didn't actually start it yourself...)
|
 | coneren yeah i got all torqued up in it
|
| coneren i made this new tinycat to hang out on tonight
|
 | DeafMetal I interacted with Brandon a bit here and there on this site. I just wanted to tell you that I am very sorry for your loss, Banion.
|
 | Jash Banion 1, Kimm 0
|
 | Bitchfork Oh thanks! Listen to Indian Ink first. It's post-rock with a British woman speaking of really terrible things that happened to her. The lyrics are sublime.
|
| Bitchfork You should listen to Meanwhile, Back in Communist Russia
|
 | IanDavila ... heheh sorry for the lenght of my words..now im 22, 4 years passed from my lost..im stronger than ever.. hey, brandon was a very special guy for me.. i learned a lot from him.. i always thought he was the perfect person to fit in my band.. the sound i want.. i wish i could meet him in person.. make him that proposal.. hope you get better every day.. if you want to talk or something.. please let me know
|
| IanDavila ... in my case..i take some of the dreams we shared.. the music.. that keeps me stand.. you know.. i still feel the pain.. but i dont want to heal..the wound.. make me strong..make him present in my life..i keep going for him.. you have to look at for that something..to keep brandon alive inside..never try to heal... bleed.. now that is part of your life, part of you.. and you have those dreams.. and the chance..is hard.. it takes that time to assume.. but do it for him..
|
| IanDavila ...live their lifes normally.. i hated everithing.. i was walkin on the edge..but all those feeling just started to take down my entire life..my friends.. my family.. all that people i wanted to be away.. taked me back..helped me..you need to stay close to that people.. ill tell you something.. i ve never heal.. i dont think you ever heal..is something youŽll carry the rest of your life...an open wound.. but keep it like that... search for something that really works fighting for in this life...
|
| IanDavila hey, hi banion, im pit, i would like to tell you something if you let me.. you know, every feeling is definitely different from one person to another.. i lost my best friend at the age of 18.. car accident.. well.. hi was more than a simple friend.. no words to explain.. a real brother..i know how it feels.. the feel lost.. to want to be totally alone in silence and isolation..for a long time.. i hate the ****ing life..who that could hapen, how the **** the people can get over it and try to....
|
 | Oceanus Perhaps. Either way, there's only one direction to go, eh?
|
| Oceanus Just checking in to see how things have been going, since it has been a bit since YAMS left us.
|
 | Jethro42 oh, and YAMS was a sputnik friend of mine.
|
| Jethro42 hi dear, I want to encourage you about the loss of your friend and again, I'm so sorry, Banion. Life goes on. Time heals, courage. Brandon wishes you the best, you know. I think of you, take care Banion. xoxoxo
|
 | tinkrbel Psychologists =/= drugs. You just need to get all this out, i speak from personal experience, what happened with me affected me for years and i didn't even realize it. if you want someone to talk to, let me know. i think you can see that there are people here willing to help
|
 | Deviant. You know where to find me if you decide to :)
|
 | Gmork89 Sorry for coming onto your profile but I really think you should check out the album Judgment by Anathema. It was written right after the mother of the 2 brothers in the band passed away, it is really deep and touches on what you are probably feeling right now. I know it helped me through a lot, and I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't think it could help. The song "One Last Goodbye" is the best song I have ever heard about losing a loved one. You will get through this hard time, just stay strong
|
| Deviant. If you ever wanna chat (strange as talking to a faceless Sputniker may be) you know where to find me. I've been through a similar situation and know how you must be feeling
|
 | East Hastings c'mon. it's nickelback. on sputnik. what do you expect? :P
|
 | BigTuna I'm so sorry. If I could see that Brandon was an incredible person over the internet, it truly must be a blessing to have known him.
|
| tinkrbel I don't think you could've chosen a better pic. I really admire the way you've handled all this. All the best to you
|
 | Zoo I wrote up a eulogy representing Sputnik and myself as well as the personal message for Brandon's casket and sent it to your Facebook inbox.
|
 | Nikkolae dont worry about a thing, and you know, we got yo back, btw i put up a list of songs for him, you might wanna check it out, just saying
|
| tinkrbel sorry for your loss. thats a beautiful pic btw it got me a bit choked up
|
 | JizzInMyPants I'm not sure if your his GF or not, but if you are, I hope you find someone else as cool and you make him out to be, I know it is going to suck having to go on with life losing a romantically loved one so early in one's life.
|
 | Sowing i know i havent said anything to you before, but i just wanted to let you know that i am really sorry for your loss. it is never easy losing someone close to you, i'll keep him, and you, in my prayers
|
 | StreetlightRock Hi, I'm just posting on behalf of the staff, we were wondering if it would be okay if we could write a blog post in memory of Brandon? I'm not sure if any of us on staff knew him well enough, but I was hoping that one of the users here could write a small obituary which we could use. Would you be okay with that?
|
| Jash I am extremely sorry for your loss. He one was of my best Sputnik buds and I will never forget him. I've made a list of albums that make me think of him, if you're not cool with that let me know and I'll it. He was a great guy and he will be missed. Stay strong
|
| Nikkolae and be compleatly sure that the sputnik comunity will support you in its 100%
|
| Nikkolae ive tried my hardest to find the words to say to you marina but i truly can only say that im dreadfully sorry for your lost, Brandon was a really nice guy and even though i only spoke to him on few ocassions he surely was one of my favorite persons round here, and although he is no longer with us and i cant even begin to comprehend how badly you are hurting i do belive he is in a place thats far better than where we are right now, i hope you have the strenght to cope with this
|
| Zoo helping to deal with his death. Words cannot begin to describe how horrible I feel for losing touch with him and my most sincere thoughts and prayers with you and all those affected by this tragedy.
|
| Zoo I will be writing something for him to leave in his casket and, I know it's not my place to inquire about the eulogy, but if you're saying something at his funeral, I'd certainly like to contribute. If you ever need to talk or anything, I've had a fair amount of personal losses including my father and my mother is a grief counselor. Sharing memories of Brandon with those who didn't know him as well, or know those things about him, is one of the best ways of, not only honoring him, but also
|
| Masochist I tried for a while to think of something to say, but couldn't properly form words for my thoughts. I've decided to just say them...so, as blunt and passionate as possible: My condolences for your loss. Thank you for sharing this on Sputnik and allowing us to take the news in our own way. And I hope you are well (and I'm confident that, in the long run, you will be).
|
 | somberlain I've lost a couple of people in very sudden ways(car accidents) and it's very traumatic, I know what you're going through and it's tough. I never interacted with either of you but you both seem pretty cool. I remember his I'm an asshole list, he really cared about you. Sorry for your loss
|
| Bitchfork You're welcome, of course. Appreciative of the knowledge and the subsequent open heart; it can't be easy.
|
| SeaAnemone Once again, sorry for your loss, I've never known a person to die but my grandmother is days away. Anyway, this song, the lyrics, make me feel a million times better about it, helps me think about it positively, and hopefully it can do the same for you--http://www.frank-turner.com/2008/09/long-live-queen-video.html
|
| qwe3 i lost a close friend a month or so ago. it's really tough and you sorta don't get over it. it's always there. you get used to it though. it becomes easier. it's not a bad thing either. it means you don't ever forget them. sorry for your loss
|
 | chambered89 hey just wanted to say hope you are hanging in there and everything i feel very bad for your loss. i never really talked to brandon but he was a very nice guy and i enjoyed his reviews. if you would like plz put a note on his coffin saying "RIP take care friend - chambered" i would be honored thanks
|
| Bitchfork Perfect song for the funeral: Stars of the Lid-A Meaningful Moment through a Meaning(Less) Process. Or even that band's "Even if you're Never Awake." Brandon loved Stars of the Lid, so it only seems fitting.
|
 | Relinquished I wanted to use this song for my funeral, but I'll give it to you and for Brandon. Cult of Luna - Crossing Over. My favorite song of all time, and I think the lyrics are very fitting for some who has passed. Again I'm sorry for what happened, I am curious to how he died but you might not want to talk about it so I won't bother.
|
 | Motiv3 just to let u know that Hobert Rollier guy is a troll account at the expense of myself, so just ignore him ;).
|
 | ameypv hang in on there,you doin great.the proverbial storm will pass soon :P
|
| Deviant. I catch the bus, much more legit. Anyways stick around, Sputnik could use an agony aunt. But keep your chin up, 2 girls have already left out of disgust
|
| Deviant. They'll get it over it eventually. Its called compensating for what they cant do in real life
|
| Nikkolae well its pretty much a two edge sword, if your like me and dont give a crap about people trolling you then i guess you can keep it there, but yeah there can be some real wierdos up in here :/
|
| Nikkolae no problem, and i agree with banana, you probs shouldnt have your name up on here
|
| Nikkolae im not a creepy guy MJ, but yeah nicely played on MJs list lol
|
| Deviant. Welcome to Sputnik, where our age group matches our iq. Be warned, breasts = a phenomenon round these parts
|
 | Mewcopa Saame country yo! (im one of those creepy guys :P)
|
 | MichaelJordan welcome to Sputnik, the biggest hipster/skramz kid/metalhead sausage party on the internet. you were a good sport, but just so you know you will now probably get hit on creepily by every desperate guy on Sputnik (roughly half of the Sputnik population). good luck
|
| WeepingBanana ahh good to know. so yeah if you'd like to accept the FR go right ahead if not that's fine too
|
| WeepingBanana gosh, i feel somewhat guilty for that i kinda started the stalking trend in there but yeah removing your name from here wouldn't be a bad idea
|
| WeepingBanana i feel like the list was annoying and i don't wanna contribute to that so i'm telling you here. i could only see you're profile picture and that's it. i couldn't even send a message. also, this will sound hypocritical but i'm gonna ask you to not call me by my real name on sputnik for reasons that you wouldn't understand. i'll be happy to explain them if you accept my friend request
|
 | aresx pretty good taste in music :D
|
 | silentpotato bear in heaven- beast rest forth mouthwelcome to sput
|
 | YouAreMySilence It's one of the most spiritual records I've ever heard to be honest. But I'm going through my ratings and changing stuff, like Blood In The Tracks will prob drop from 5 and that one Set Fire To Flames record to a 5. And why the eff is Angles and Airwaves so high, I must lower it.
|
| YouAreMySilence I know, I'm sorry alot of nostalgia comes along with them though. There's nothing I can really diss you on though, except that Taylor Swift isn't that bad. But you like Hammock?! Score! Have you checked out Talk Talk's Laughing Stock yett?
|
 | Enotron Youaremysilence's girlfriend, sister, mother? Or perhaps just a bored youaremysilence?
|
| YouAreMySilence Hott! Now go make a list, rate stuff. And all that fun stuff.
