Ooh what a clever thread. I think I was about 14 when I started getting into, lets label it (eurgh) "alternative" music and at the risk of sounding like a nerd I owe most of it to Napster. An ex boyfriend plays in a band called Charling and broadened my musical tastes somewhat but at the end of the day it's all down to that wonderful little download program.

Those were the days when it was ever so easy to download exactly what you wanted and if you didn't like it, you didn't care.

Yeah there wasn't really a whole lot going on in Whitchurch, Hampshire.

Oh what a shame, but then again, I didn't buy it so I've only got myself to blame.

they're nae bad, the lighting messed em up a bit though.

thanks for taking them anyway holly!

ooh it's no problem. I've been listening your cd to wake up this morning.

BONER BONER BONER BONER BONER. If I was a man, I'd have one. God YES!!! I am hella excited. Yay yay yay.

In/Casino out is my favourite album, I probably couldn't pick a favourite song though. I'm gonna listen to them today now.

Hiding With Girls were not excellent. They're a great band but I thought that set was rather shocking. Hopefully they'll be able to redeem themselves at some point because I was less than impressed. Even though they're from Brighton. I had much more fun laughing with Alex about the singers name. And it was great the Ian was there. But that's it.

Christiansen were pretty good though.

well just remember I'm not an actual photographer and the light was awful.

That is perfect. Were my photos shite?

Oh god. Everyone's getting trouble right now. Gerard goes missing. The guitarist from Challenger was involved i in a hit-and-run when on his bike. Ben Million Dead hurt his foot. Frank Million Dead cut his hand. What the hell is going on out there in bandworld?

Oh I wish. I love MCR so much. Think I'll just wait and see them at Reading though since that week I'm seeing the mother-fucking Rapture!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but the last few years they've always unofficially opened the camp on Wednesday just to accomodate the sheer amount of people who turn up that night anyways right? I already bought my ticket so we shall see what goes.

Oh no that fucking sucks. I never did get a t-shirt and now if I ask for one I'll look like bandwagon jumping nostalgia freak.

I'm going back to bed to sob.

Oooh I'm hella excited. And they're from Brighton which makes them about 50 hundred times cooler because everything from Brighton rocks your mums.

Nah he's actually much better. But I thought I'd tell you all anyways.

From their forums:

So we're in Texas right, and we're walking from Tyler's house (who we are staying with...thanks guys) to our manager's hotel. I sit down at the bus stop and say "cool, let's wait for the bus" (or some other phrase, indicating my wish to take public transport). The others however say "no, Ben, we are complete bastards and we will walk" (or some other less offensive way of showing their preference of ambulation). So what happens... well, 20 mins later (still walking) whilst i was in the middle of outlining my revolutionary plans for T-Shirt designs ("why don't we have black on white on the red and black shirts, but just black on the grey..."), i trip and twist my ankle.

So, where am i? I'm back at the house "resting" a foot that i'm praying to god isn't broken.

Where are they? They are out having probably the best time any one has ever had in the world...ever (2)... (probably not, but that's what I'm thinking).

...shit. It's my birthday on Sunday as well, guess what I'm doing... I'll be on a fucking plane...fuck.

fuck me! the pussys have just arrived back at 10:24! ...what a bunch of gays!

I hope this doesn't fuck up their tour plans.

i'm TOTALLY up for this. deffo'...it'll take me a whole fucking day but ireckon i get the right stuff in that sandwich and i'll be SET.

is subway offering a prize for this? they should do...

and vice does rock and incredible amount. i really want to try salvia divinorum..spelling?..but everywhere one-line selling it involves shipping from the states...i have NO TIME for that kind of shenanigans. vice rocks so much it feels wrong..like i should at least give the guy behind the counter 50...i'm considering getting a subscription or something...

You can't get it here?? Are you sure? I remember an ex telling me about it at new year but then he lives in Worcester and not here. At 25 a pop I'm dubious but it does sound wicked. Maybe we should just check out some 2CI instead. I'm certain you can get it from here.

Adam H Taylor wants to aswel but has no money. I'm up for it, I'm a bit skint though, let me know when it is and I'll be there...to fail miserably. I bet I don't even manage a whole one.

I dunno. I think it's most likely to be legitimate. If Chris writes for Bizarre then maybe the other guys write for other magazines too and earn a living from that. Producing one article a month can hardly be that time-consuming or profitable. Whatever, it rocks everyones Mums.

Have you ever seen their ad-rate card? It's like 6000 for a double spread. And if you think about it, quite a lot is adverts. They have a lot of guest writers and stuff and it's not a hugely popular magazine so they don't print ridiculous numbers of copies. I guess the staff don't have a massive wage either like NME fucks and such like. I'd still pay for it if you had to though.

I knew it! That's my Spar too. Er, I'll be more careful in my pj's now methinks!

Unfortunately I'm not a reader of bizarre but I have been told about the Bigfoot review. My boyfriend's friend reviewed porn at Bizarre for her work experience. I'm flirting my way into a placement with Vice as we speak.

Of course it is acceptable. Tarts come into my shop wearing a lot less. Annoying old men come in wearing only shorts and t-shirts stained with sweat.

My spar is a very liberal establishment, we offer great advice like "don't buy that you monkey, its cheaper in co-op, 2 mins up the street"

On a completely random note I just realised, my hero,Chris niertko, writes porn reviews for vice aswell as Bizzare.

Days of happy.

OH MY GOD. Which Spar do you work in?? The review of World Class Ass in this months is by far the best "porn" review I've ever read. "FUCK OFF FAGGOT. And they had sundaes too."

Er, by the way, whats the time scale for this? I'm pretty certain I could do it in a year...

Bollocks to that, I always serve this queen of a woman who comes down from the flat upstairs in my spar.

EDIT: this person also wears pj's. Just to make that clear.

hahahahah 1% of 1 is 1% yes yes yes

So it's not acceptable? My Spar is across the road and up a little bit. And i'm not fat and my pyjamas are very cute. Now is it ok? I just hate having to get changed when all I need is crumpets or something.

This thread is making me hungry. Is it acceptable to go to SUbway still wearing your pj's cos it's not acceptable to go to Spar apparently.

Hmmm. I'm 5'6 without heels. I'd know I can eat 3 times my height in Cadbury's chocolate fingers but Subway? I don't think my tummy is that big. I'd try though.
