I agree with jason. The "mono thread" was one of the few interesting things going on lately around here. I'd love to see it continued, seriously.
Instead of locking it, maybe moving it awhile ago would have been a good idea.
So, many of you have seen this:

My question is, is there ANYTHING he got right?
The drinking game is when he gets a fact correct, while in the middle of a coherent sentence.
See, with the exception of Neil Young, these are bands I'd list in support of MY argument. :)
Course, to be fair. I don't think that there are a lot of good bands ANYWHERE...
Seriously, "Little Girl in the Snow" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Couldn't find a better version:

I had a horrible thought. What if RIGHT NOW is the height of human civilization and idiotic time travelers from the future come to visit the most enlightened humans that have ever been.
To them, Jordan would be a prophet for the new way.
My wife pointed out that there are good Canadian metal bands too. She reminded me of Voivod. I think my exposure to Canadian music was Robin Sparkles, Alanis Morrisette, Rush and Crash Test Dummies.
I officially retract my statement about Canadia. :)
32 points to Robin Sparkles fans.
A friend of mine had a drug theory (while tripping) he called beyond or sometimes the spiral. We really got into this while taking 3 or 4 bottles of Robitussin DM at the same time. (DO NOT DO THIS)
The idea was that as you get used enough to tripping, your brain sets that as your default. So...
Thanks a lot!
The audio for that video was the built in mic of the camera. I had the gain as low as it gets but it really distorted.
We had a joke with our band that I could cause feedback and distortion in any situation, even when I didn't have a mic. I've been known to blow out new...
But Lovehippo...Spread your Typhoid to me.
OK, done feeding the troll. I apologize to anybody that I insulted that didn't insult me first, and to Whitestrat for misreading his intent. I lost my e-temper for a bit and channeled my e-anger out on Mrs.Hippo for trying so hard to slam me...
As much as I hate to agree with you about anything right now, this music is an insult to garbage.
I really tried to listen to this stuff with an open mind. It's gotten worse. Or the same, or something. It's not even virally annoying, it's just dull and sadder to think of this poor kid's...
No, in fact he hates me because I called his music bad improv noise. I admit that improv and noise aren't the same as music in any traditional sense. He picked me as the specific person he hates the most in his bromo addled brain.
I never said mine was, infact I've gone out of my way to say that I don't think my music or art is great. Why do people keep coming back to this argument?
My point is and has always been that I'm not TRYING to sound like what happened before, whereas these guys seem to be trying to capture...
