Blues and Jazz Off Topic/Chat Thread!

[ze monsta]

I'd call MC5 proto-punk. I think The MC5 are way to heavy to just be blues rock, and their whole ideals make them punk. But Genres are restrictive eh?

Listening to Franz Ferdinand, who I haven't listened to for ages, and it seems I can totally relate to everything...Crazy.

[Carswell98]

I'm totally lost in this part of the genre galaxy

I'm listening to some MC5 on youtube, it's pretty cool

not what I expected when you said proto-punk though, especially this cover of Motor city is Burning

[JilaX^]

"Kick Out The Jams Motherfucker!"

[gopherthegreat]

That song is their best, by far.

[JilaX^]

It really is.
I remember when I first heard them a few years back, a cousin bought me a cd for Christmas. Blew my mind.

[JASBlues]

I grew up in Metro Detroit and saw the MC5 and the Stooges many times at places like the famous Grande Ballroom and the Eastown Theater. A few times they were on the same bill!! Both bands were absolutly nuts, and the crowds always went wild, rushing the stage, etc. The Rock scene in Detroit was crazy back then - Bob Seger played ay my High School. I saw Alice Cooper at a local ski lodge one winter night.

[JilaX^]

Holy shit, I envy you so much, you have no idea.

Seeing those two bands in their prime... So much energy, raw pure power... Man.

[Punk_Ninja]

On saturday I got Robert Johnson's "Crossroad Blues" for £1.50.
I was happy.

[imgooley]

. But Genres are restrictive eh?

Exactly.

I've never heard a punk band cover Baby, Please Don't Go as well as they did.

I am not really a fan of 'proto-punk' anyway. By that token, you can call Cream Proto-metal.

:eek: :eek: :eek:
Did you ever see any of the garage "revival" bands, like The Gories and such?
Are you still into that kinda music, or have your tastes changed over the years? :)

[imgooley]

Hello ****ers.


I'm kinda starting a band out.

Right now, the drummer wants to do some stoner rock/down tempo kinda stuff, but to me it's just heavy, downtuned blues :shrug:

We'll see where this goes.

[gopherthegreat]

I wanna start a Flipper-esque punk band. My tone for it rawks. It's so messy and chaotic.

[Carswell98]

I just want to play with another person...

:(

[ze monsta]

I always jam with my brother, who's pretty good at bass. So that's cool.
But I haven't played with my band for 4 weeks, which sucks. And I wanted to get some recordings done over half term but I forgot to ask my friend about borrowing his stuff, and he's gone on holiday! GAH!

[imgooley]

:o

[Carswell98]

why do the English get Bill Bailey, and we get comics like Jeff Dunham?

you get an awesome musical comedian, we get a racist moron

it's not fair :mad:

[ze monsta]

I find Jeff Dunham quite funny tbh.

But Bill Bailey is killer, my sister has seen him live a few times. She's a huge fan.
Have you seen Black Books with Dylan Moran? Hilarious.

On musical comedians, Tim Minchin is ****ing brilliant as well.

no I haven't seen it, man I'm watching one of his comedy specials right now though

jesus I love him

and I've got all 5 seasons of QI, and he's on there a fair bit

I really wish I could watch QI here too, but the only way i can watch it is by downloading it :(


that tim minchin guy is pretty good, he's like a comedic Elton John :haha


the only Jeff Dunham skit I find funny is with Walter, I find Ahkmed to be so stereotypical and slightly racist, but supposedly because it's the puppet that is actually saying those things it suddenly becomes okay so say

I don't know, that and his ahkmed jokes are so unoriginal

[gopherthegreat]

I like the old man and the super hero. I don't really like Ahkmed and I dislike the Purple monkey type thing.

[TNfootballfan62]

I love his Walter skit, but as far as racism goes, he's no more racist than 99% of comedians. That's how unoriginal comedians get laughs, racism.

[the spiker]

Can one of you guys ID a song for me? Contact me on AIM (Lord T the great). I have a 1mb file to share.

[ze monsta]

A Day In The Life is so hard...I hate Jeff Beck for being so damn awesome...But Love him for being so epically good.

[slidething31]

Pour one out today, wherever you are, for one of the most talented guitarists man has ever seen.

37 years ago today, Duane Allman was killed in a tragic accident, and the world lost a shining musical star.

Rest In Peace Brother.

:cheers:

[MrBlues]

Respect to Duane Allman

[imgooley]

RIP Duane.

I've not been posting here lately :sad:

I've been hangin out it GGA and on HC.

New song up, btw.

[TNfootballfan62]

We like having you in GG&A. :)

[Carswell98]

this place has really gone sour :(

I mean, it used to be slow, that was okay, now this fecking place doesn't have a pulse

I don't know where to turn, the pit is a scary beast I'd rather not crawl back to

[JilaX^]

I know. It's sad :sad:

I need to find some good blues forum out there, where people post regularly. :sad:

[MrBlues]

i know of a really good one but im not sure of the name or if i should be telling people about it on a competitors forum.

[ze monsta]

You folks can't leave me!!! :cry:

I think one of the problems is the lack of John Mayer in the world. This place gets buzzing when he puts out anything new. :p:

[ze monsta]

Holy shit, 27 people in here!

[imgooley]

I'm not going to leave, I've just been a bit obsessive with gear lately.

I tend to hang out in a section and only that one. Lately, it's been GGA.

I remember when me and braedon and gus posted all the time. Tim and Neil, too, as well as chris and eric and... well yeah.

Now, no one is on when I'm on.

[ze monsta]

I'm still here. Attempting to write something funny in my friend's birthday card.
I think I'll leave it with:

"Forget about the past. You can't change it.
Forget about the future. You can't predict it.
Forget about the present. I didn't get you one."

[imgooley]

How about something morbid.

"Congratulations on getting one day closer to death!"

[ze monsta]

Damn, that's awesome. :haha But I've already closed 7 envelopes. :p:

I think I'll save that for shaking his hand. :haha :haha :haha

:cheers:

[imgooley]

For funzies, add a "Do you wanna race?" or "I hope you get there before me" for a little personal flavor.

[ze monsta]

Lulz.

I was so pissed off, I couldn't find any Black Keys stuff at Zavvi today! :mad:

[ze monsta]

Anybody else seen the new Bond movie?

I was so physiced up, got brilliant seats with my bro and dad, an ice cold bottle of water, and then became surrounded by ****ing pop corn munching morons who insisted on shouting through the film. They weren't even bloody kids, they were adults!!! Anywho, the film was pretty shite as well. I won't spoil it for you anyone, but the plot really lacked direction.

[imgooley]

When did it come out?

[ze monsta]

Yesterday, in teh Yu Kay.

[slidething31]

I don't think it comes out for a while yet in the US.

I'll probably just wait for it to come out on DVD anyway.

[gopherthegreat]

Holy shit, 27 people in here!
Golly gee wilikers!

[the spiker]

Help! What song is this???

Please forgive the audio quality. I had to dumb it down in order to upload.

[ze monsta]

ZOMG.

Best. Party. Ever.

I was SO pissed it's not true though, I can't remember too much. I know I fell off a wall, dragged someone through the garden, groped several girls, probably got rejected 9 time or sommit and got with 3 different girls.
My mate was so sly in inviting people, it was like 2 chicks for every guy there.

I feel like shit now. Something awesome happened though...

For most of the night, the music was just RnB and shizzle but then my mate put on Have Love Will Travel by The Sonics and everyone went mental for it. Everyone ran in and easily the best dance of the night with a very very very hot chick.

Dilemma is that I'm sure I really pissed off this girl I like by going with her at first, then getting smashed and looking to pull anybody... I feel guilty. And I won't see her again till Christmas to talk to her... :(

Ah, 14 year old titties. :facepalm:

I remember shit like that, back in the day.

Most of the girls are actually well matured, thanks mate. :p:
It all seems so much better because it's all so illicit. :rolleyes: :p:

I'd been having a shit week before, do it did really brighten it up for me. And I met loadsa cool people who I will hang out with in the future.

Logan, I'm 14. ;) But with long hair I like to think I can pass for about 16/17. :p:
What does that make me in America-land? in England that's year 10.

MONSTA EDIT:
A little looking around tells me I'm a "freshman" whatever that is.

[imgooley]

^Well, I'm 20, and can pass for thirty with my beard, so stfu n00b.

[Axegrinder#9]

This was recorded for a friend's recording project. This is essentially spoken word/poetry backed by guitar and bass.

It was a completely improvised first take recording.

Hope you enjoy it.

^Well, I'm 20, and can pass for thirty with my beard, so stfu n00b.

Got a pic of your beard man? I'm growing a beard for a bet/charity man, it looks funny now but it's getting kinda beard-like. Even if it is still really blonde..

Haven't been posting much lately, I have long periods away from the computer completely lately for some reason.. I suppose it is good not to waste so much time on here anymore.

I am hoping to seriously knuckle down and write some songs, even if they are shit, just to get in the groove a bit and get something new happening instead of the same old crap I always play. It's hard to get motivated with so many distractions all the time, I wish I could just lock myself in a shed in the middle of nowhere for a few months and see if that helps get some songs out..

[imgooley]

^That last part sounds like a plan.


I have a few beard pics, but I have to dig them up :)

[gopherthegreat]

Gus, I responded to your comment.

And freshman is the first year of high school or whatever it may be called in England, so ya.

I'm 15 in 14 days (Nov. 18) :)

[Carswell98]

on the subject of beards


I really don't like to let my facial hair grow, as it looks like a god damn rainbow, I have every colour from sandy blonde to black to red growing out of my face, it creeps the shit out of me

I think I'm some sort of mutant

[gopherthegreat]

I propose we all get in a chat room in chat. It can be called #Blues

[TheDev01dOne]

But we can chat right here.. Hence the thread title Lol

A load of guys from the pub are going to see Bonamassa on friday and they had some spare tickets for sale but I missed out.. Would've been a good night.

[Iceman 420]

Awww, too bad. I missed one of his concerts by only a few days, so yeah, not exactly happy about that.

[TheDev01dOne]

I have his Live at Rockpalast DVD and he seems like he puts on a good show. At least there are no fans to make his hair waft around like some guitarists..

I'm learning the song "Baby, When You're Gone" by Bryan Adams and Mel C just because I like it Lol Kinda sad really.

[gopherthegreat]

Ya, he's great.

[Carswell98]

But we can chat right here.. Hence the thread title Lol

that sucks man


I'd love to see Joe live, I missed out on a show he did in vancouver in august :mad:

[TheDev01dOne]

Wow found an awesome guy, check out Brownbird Rudy Relic..

http://www.myspace.com/brownbirdrudyrelic

Such a cool look, watch some of his youtube videos, great juke joint style performer.. Touring Aus with C.W. Stoneking at the moment, if I was at home I could have seen hom next Thursday! I always miss good shit.

[slidething31]

And it's Obama.

Hopefully he can fulfill his potential, bring together people from all sides of the aisle, and help put an end to the divisive influences that are strangling our nation.

[TheDev01dOne]

He'll get assassinated pretty quickly I think.

[Axegrinder#9]

^ possible.

but remember kids, he's the President now. and he inhaled frequently, that was the point.

[Carswell98]

^ possible.

but remember kids, he's the President now. and he inhaled frequently, that was the point.
:haha








oh and I have at least a little faith in humanity, I say no assassination

[TheDev01dOne]

American politics really doesn't interest me at all to be honest. I'm sick of hearing people talk about it all day at work when it has nothing at all to do with them.


So to change the subject (although still slightly america related..)

I am a fat motherfuccker. 6am I just had a breakfast fry up after being awake all night; 2 sausages, 3 pieces of bacon, 1 small onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 large eggs and 1 toasted, buttered white roll.. Washed down with a nice cup of tea.

Managed to set the fire alarm off though in the the process so the landlords and my GF will probably all get up on the wrong side of the bed today.. But it was worth it, soo good.

Got the day off work today, hopefully I can use it productively and do some playing, maybe try and write something resembling a song.

What's everyone else up to today? Apart from voting or talking about US presidents?

[Iceman 420]

School, politics talk, the usual. Tomorrow, I'mma try and ask my friend out. I hope I'm not stuck in the friend-zone though.

Gah, my fingers are sore from all the geetar and I have major GAS right now.

[TheDev01dOne]

Good luck, play it cool man and I'm sure you'll be fine.

What'cha GASing for? Orange amp at a guess?

[Iceman 420]

Thanks, will do.

And GAS for an American-voiced amp and another Esquire (though an Orange wouldn't hurt). Gonna try for money this Christmas.

[TheDev01dOne]

I'm still GASsing for a resonator or an archtop acoustic but more so a reso, can't really aford £600 at the moment though, plus will be really hard to get back to Aus, probably have to wait until I get back home before buying one unless I just get a cheapie off eBay and then flog it on before I leave.

[Iceman 420]

Yeah, love a resonator myself. Played a Dean one at HC last week. Sounded so different than my acoustic.

[TheDev01dOne]

I want a Busker or Michael Messer but might settle for an Ozark or similar cheapie to use for a year and then sell it on.

[Iceman 420]

Not a lot of quality, low priced resos from what I've seen. I'd kill for a vintage National though.

You could always wrap in foil around an acoustic though.

[TheDev01dOne]

Lol yeah well apparently the £600 Busker and MM resos are the best resos you can get without going for an original vintage national. Which is pretty good considering a national is about twice that price at least.

[Iceman 420]

Hm, haven't really heard of Busker or MM. England only brands? Only good resonator I've tried was this ol' Dobro.

[TheDev01dOne]

In US the brand Republic are pretty much exactly the same, all 3 are built in the same factory.. Some get sent to a USA factory to be setup and distributed as Republic guitars.. Some get sent to a UK factory for setup and become Busker guitars.. And Michael Messers are built in the same factory but are pretty much built to 100% vintage original specs. And setup somewhere different, endorsed by MM of course etc etc.

A strictly resonator playing dude I know swears by his new MM lightning and he owns a few original nationals..

[Iceman 420]

Really? I need to check out some Republic's this weekend.

For now, I gotta get some sleep. Laterz.

[TheDev01dOne]

Now I have no one to talk to again..

Peace dude.

Hellz yeah. Tele with P-90s FTW!

[Carswell98]

Whatever happened to the blues lyrics thread? Anyone feel like having some kind of blues lyirc duel type thing where you get a subject and then write a blues about it, record it if you want, and compare at the end??

I need some lyric writing practice..

[Carswell98]

I'm complete rubbish at lyrics, I wish it weren't so, but all my lyrics turn out so bad

[TheDev01dOne]

Me too, hence the need to practice. I'm alright at coming up with more interesting riffs and progressions now but I can never put lyrics to them, always ends up the same old shite about walking down roads, carrying heavy loads..

So you got the Blood and Hart right.

Amazing musician.

[TheDev01dOne]

He's pretty cool looking, never heard any of his original stuff, I might check some out after this DVD I'm downloading is finished.

I have just had a bit of a breakhrough in open D fingerpicking, just messing on something I've been practicing for ages (mainly to practice fingerpicking, getting better slowly) and just suddenly the fill licks and stuff I improvised in there fitted and gave a decent unique flavour to it.

Hopefully today once everyone wakes up and I ca make noise I will get some lyrics down and have a song!

Feels really good when you've been practicing something and then one day it actually works out.

The boss at work has said I can organise a "Winter Blues" gig for the end of january if I want.. Am trying to find some decent blues artists near here. I know a great resonator player/duo that do some sweet covers and originals but I would guess the 'civilians' would get bored of too much of that but there doesn't seem to be any decent rockin' blues bands around here apart from one that plays at the pub all the time so it wouldn't be very exciting.

Hope I can get it sorted, sounds fun. I suppose I can't just put myself on Lol

Anyway I'm almost finished my song and I quite like it, hopefully finish it tomorrow and practice it a bit then play it at the session on Monday and see what people think.

[TheDev01dOne]

I'm bored again, as if no one posted anything all day..

where do you work? that sounds like a awesome opportunity!

[TheDev01dOne]

Work in a pub but it's very musical. We don't really put on gigs like normal pubs..

We have a massive beer garden with a big permanent, undercovered stage and a second outside bar built into the old stable.. In summer we have 3 free all day (this year we actually split one into 2 days saturday night acoustic and all day sunday electric) festivals with pro PA/lighting/everything setup, about 10 bands or so, always new local bands and then some bigger more popular ones towards the end to finish things off. Usually about 300 people in the yard at once with more coming and going throughout the day.

And in winter we have 2 marquees that cover nearly all the backyard and so we put them up with a smaller sound and lighting rig, stage etc. and put on some more chilled acoustic bands and stuff, probably about 3 throughout the winter aswell.

Nov 29th we're having a pretty good english/irish folk band play, should be fun but I prefer the 'support' act. Older guy named Watson who is just the coolest guy ever, plays like Bob Dylan-y folk but so so so so sooo well.

EDIT: I forgot every Monday night (Tonight!! Yay!) we have an acoustic session where whoever wants to play some songs can come along and play but it has a VERY high standard, most of the musicians are like 30+ and been doing it forever and done international gigs etc. so once you play 1 verseof a song you pretty much have a whole band behind you and 3part harmonies on the choruses..

It's not snobby or anything but you gotta know how to play, you can't just sit there making noise on a guitar.

[Carswell98]

hey, so, I got a strange new amp from my friend (the same one i got the Teisco from) at first I thought it was shitty, and then upon trying it out, I realized its the best Solid state amplifier I've ever heard

it's an early 1970's yamaha YTA 15, I don't know anything about it except that it has real spring reverb, and the most natural, tube like distortion I've ever heard come out of a SS amp, it needs a new speaker, the old one is screwed, but I'm seriously considering fixing this old POS up


anyone else have any cool gear finds lately?

[ze monsta]

^No. :(
Why do you get the teisco, I want it!!! :cry:


You think so? Anyway, everyone has their opinions
Yes I do.

I've always found guitar playing quite obtrusive unless it's soulful and tasteful, for example: SRV to me is brilliant however his live solos often make me turn the song off. It's not that I don't like guitar playing or instrumental music, don't get me wrong but: it's always the words we can relate to, not a huge unison bend with the greatest sustain and tone ever. :)

[slidething31]

^ I think that it really depends on the band. Certain bands are musically driven while others are lyrically driven. Obviously, a combination is ideal.

[Carswell98]

^No. :(

considering my luck in most areas of everyday life, I think the odd piece of interesting gear that comes my way is a fair balance :p:

you can have a teisco too Gus

[ze monsta]

Oh good!

Let me go and find my pile of money :rolleyes:


Oh yeah, certainly. You can relate to the melancholic music of Pink Floyd or a guitar solo in w/e but the human voice is at the top of the mix for a reason. :)

So hows it going in the old Blues/Jazz off topic thread? Its been a while, but I think I'll be stopping by here a little bit more again.

On a blues related note, has anyone heard of Ronnie Earl? He's one badass guitarist I just discovered a little while ago, definitely worth checking out.

[TheDev01dOne]

Never heard of him, will check him out, I'm bored and have nothing better to do.

Good news! Joe Bonamassa was cancelled on Sunday, rescheduled for next monday, so a few people that were going can't make it anymore = possibly me going if I can get 2 tickets! I know I can definitely get 1 but I need one for my GF to come aswell. Wish me luck on that!

If I go I'll be recording the gig and will post it up on rapidshare or something if people want it.

Well, for me, I feel like I can connect with that huge bend, and that playing. And it hits me in "that spot". Of course, too much is never good, but still. I connect just as much with the guitar as the voice.

People make me sick.

I was at a train station, and some old black dude who works as a cleaner (He once talked to me about John Lee Hooker on a cold Sunday morning when I waited like 40 minutes for a train :cool: ), was picking up litter as is his job and he stumbled and fell as he bent over. About 6 adults laughed at him, and one middle aged bloke threw his newspaper on the floor about 2 feet away, so the guy had to pick himself up and then go on and do his job again... All this during rush hour!

yeah, phil is an insane guitarist, thats the only reason I enjoy watching him, I can't enjoy a lot of his music because it's just too religious

I really love the looping tool too, just because it has allowed for better live performances from simpler stage arrangements

Not going to say this in the 'RIP' thread, as that's just silly, but this is a chat thread so:

Does no one else think that Jimi Hendrix's band was piss poor? Not Hendrix, but the other two? The bass player was, undoubtedly, just bad, but the drummer never seemed particularly good at keeping time either? He always dragged songs down to this awful tempos as well.

He seems to have garnered a lot of reputation simply for being hendrix's drummer?

meh...

EDIT: I'm no drummer, I couldn't talk technical ability but he just seemed to make an not very pleasant sound, wether it was hard to do or not... look at this video:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=s2TSpusRV-8

Hendrix starts off the riff nice and fast and then the drummer just wanders in in a different tempo and slows the whole thing down?

[Firebread]

Mitch Mitchells was a great drummer. Not everyone can be perfect all the time though.

He's a brilliant jazz drummer, and was great.

The bass player wasn't all that, and Hendrix actually recorded a lot of Bass lines himself, on amongst others All Along The Watchtover.

'He wasn't a brilliant jazz drummer, and wasn't great'

see what i did there? :p:

Wow that video just made my day. And what's up with the dude hating on Mitchell. He was a part of one of the most respected bands of all time. And yes i can see how you can call him a mess at times but you seem to respect Hendrix, and his playing wasnt exactly picture perfect in terms of technical ability. That style is a part of the whole concerts of the Experience. They pushed boundaries and explored the whole musical piece, never playing it the same twice and didnt care if they ****ed up. If thats not what you like then i will respect your opinion, but saying he got his fame because of Hendrix is unfair. He contributed to the band as well, and i dont know if the Experience would have been as good without him.

I really wasn't measuring good in terms of technical ability as i pointed out, but did anyone enjoy listening to that? People like drum solos, lol? That video seems to pretty much epitomise what I dont' like about his playing.

I respect Hendrix as an excellent guitar player and an innovator, yeah. I don't particularly like his music. (same reasons, most of it sounds a mess to me).

I don't mean to suggest that Mitch Mitchell is a bad technical drummer, but that's not what i mean when I say i don't like Hendrix's band.

Mitch Mitchell detracts for songs more than he adds, for me. 'lead drumming' wtf is lead drumming? It's horrible is what it is, lol. Whatever technical ability he may have had, the man seems to be the very definition of over-egging the pudding.

And, finally, I'm not sure what he's supposed to have innovated. People say 'fusion drumming' in a ridiculously vague way, but obviously that makes no sense. Except from in a general sense of 'pushing boundries' (again fairly vague) which I'd say was really more Hendrix's game than his.


(Also, im' not 'hating on him'... good on him for doing whatever, I'm simply discussing him. He's garnered a lot of support, in my view, on not very much. I've never had any problem with people like anything they want, but when people rave about him being the best and such and such and important for this and that, I kind of expect some sort of reason, something more specific than 'he was an innovator'. )

You also have to keep in mind it's innovating for DRUMMING. A guitar is far more versatile than a drum. A new innovative way of playing the drums isn't gonna sound as new and far out and different as a new way of playing guitar. Also, Mitch Mitchell played in a way almost like trading fours, his drums almost did a call and response with the other instruments rather than just being a giant metronome.

[Carswell98]

not that this Mitch Mitchell thing isn't just riveting, if I could trouble someone for an opinion

I'm trying to fashion a new pickguard for my acoustic, as the cheap on e that came on the guitar fell off, leaving a hideous light patch on the guitar

[TheDev01dOne]

I download stuff that I can't find or new stuff but if I really like something then I'll go out of my way to buy it. Especially smaller artists I'll grab their CDs at gigs or whatever, never know when these things are gonna be worth millions later. And they actually benefit frim the $20 or whatever I gave them for a CD, rather than me spending $20 on like a howlin wolf record and all the record companies get the money and his estate ends up with like 50% and he's dead anyway so he doesn't need more money..

I always buy any blues compilation CDs I find, especially the cheap £2 ones you can find in bargain bins etc. They always have the usual good songs but then most have some random obscure recordings or players or whatever.. Found loads of great stuff from compilation CDs, like for example the song 'Blue Light' by The Mighty House Rockers.. Great song and decent old UK blues band, pretty sure they're from near here aswell.

But, really. No one can discredit Bonham for being an amazing drummer, whether or not you like Zeppelin.

[gopherthegreat]

Ya, he was a great drummer. I don't like Zeppelin though.

Btw, I love how that song pisses off fanboys so much :p:

THEY MADE THEIR MONEY
OFF IDIOTS!

Same here.

I forgot to mention this yesterday, but in an English GCSE mock, my class and the whole year above us got Rick Rolled. The Sixth formers have huge speakers in their common room, and they put on Rick Astley as loud as possible. We were in the opposite block of building and it just echoed throughout the school as people sung along. :haha Good times.

Fix my supper, let me go to bed

Haha, actually I am. :p:

I'm wearing a Zeppelin T-Shirt as we speak, and there's a Zeppelin dvd on my desk, and there's probably some cds around here somewhere too :haha

And I've never heard of them, but they're pretty cool.

:haha

[gopherthegreat]

They're a silly pop-punk band. They're fun to listen to and their lyrics are amusing.

If you wanna check 'em out, download the album Boogadaboogadaboogada.

I'm so pissed I'm gonna miss a counter protest against the Westboro Baptist Church

[ze monsta]

Gus, whats your last name?
Why dyou ask?

[gopherthegreat]

I wanted to see your facebook

[ze monsta]

What did you want to know? :p:

I don't have facebook (anymore), I had it for a few weeks before it got really popular with everyone outside of universitys because some girls told me to get it, and none of my other friends had it so I got rid of it. In all honesty, I half wish I did have it, but I have a problem with going against the grain and wanting to be different(despite it just making my life boring). :haha I do hate social networking though, it seems stupid, and I have a rather addictive personality so would probably be hooked on it like I am with UG.

I should probably swallow my pride, but I've bitched about it too much. I also revere my privacy/secrecy and feel that it's just a chance to be cruel to people. I've seen some people's pages from my year (the kids that get bullied) and it's disgusting, I don't want to be associated with it.

I wanted to see your generic information because I'm bored. :p:

[ze monsta]

Meh, I'm pretty boring. I'd only bore you with "private jokes" and **** like that, I expect.
But I know some really hot girls (who fortunately actually like me) and I guess it makes up for my boring life! :p:

My generic information would be pretty damn generic.

[gopherthegreat]
