GONE! Sorry, folks. -
Yet, Friday the 13th is famously reguarded the unlukiest day of the year, then why does Ross defy common sense to bring us a bill so damn tasty? I can only assume those stalls will be selling pies, but unlucky black friday pies filled with bones and dirt served in a spikey glass sauce! Surely there must be SOME catch?

Makro sometimes, but technically that's a wholesaler and not a supermarket. -

Yeah. They also eat samples of Pringles at supermarkest, because they're often handed out free. -

But they are by nature miserly, so they get the cheapest booze the can. -

They prefer spirts, but they're kinda expensive. -

I guess theres that. Sheep can be stubborn bastards... ...wait, that's goats. I guess a sheep would be stubborn if it hung around goats a lot, drinking cider and baaing at strangers. -

So, the " = sheep" would become redundant. Infacy, if Scotland is synonomous with "sheep", we could replace the word 'Scotland' with 'sheep" in any instance, ergo allowing us to form statements like 'Trainspotting was afilm about sheepish drug addicts". -
Oh, totally I agree. But they were my (and I assume a LOT of people's) portal into the steamy, neony world of "industrial".

INDEED! Good Idea! -
Totally. Shouldn't it depend on the label? Surely just because a record company is big doesn't mean it's "evil" automatically.

2004 - has it been a good year for music so far?
Lawy Lawson:Attorney replied to delboy's topic in Music Discussion
New New Order, eh? Hmm, wasn't too sold on the last batch of new stuff. Still, fairly exciting. -

I'd been in hell for a few hours before I was called up to the Hell processing facility in order for my punishment to be decided. After some deliberation a low-level necrobuearocrat decided that I'd have to watch "Roman Polanski's Pirates" on a dodgy VHS for of eternity with nothing to eat but Skips, a crisp that I can't help but associate with filthy toddlers who wonder around with them spread over their shiny little toothless faces whilst trying to stop their own mucous from running into their mouths. Man, I really don't like skips. Crisps shouldn't melt, unless they drive their van into a vat of toxic waste, like in Robocop. Luckily, I ran into the main character from DooM, who was kind enough to give me a blue key so I could get out of hell...however, all was not well as I ran into the Spider Mastermind. "Why the hell is a spider ruling hell?" I queried, "I mean, sure a giant spider is pretty cool last boss, but really... I thought Hell's ruler would be cooler, like in Paradise Lost, or Billl and Ted's Bogus Journey." "I'm just filling in for Lucifer. Goddman asshole is on Earth making sure there will never be a Ghostbusters 3." "Holy shit! That's diabolical!" said I. "I'm a sad spider at the end of the day," admitted DooM 2'S final guardian. "What would really make me happy is Ghostbusters 3, or failing that Evil Dead 4 or failing THAT, heartfelt pop music that rocks out a little. "Oh," I said ""like the Get Up Kids (offical site seems to be down...). More in common with Weezer, Jimmy Eat World or Green Day with minor threat, but probaly more honest than some of the current crop of "emo". And they do sing about lost girlfriends..." "So why'd you like 'em?" asked the Spider Mastermind. "'cos they're cute," quoth I. "And their rarities album, Eudora has some pretty able Pixies, Cure and New Order covers. They cover them without being blasphemous." "Meh," said the Spider Mastermind. "They're okay, but their later material is kinda empty to me." I nodded in agreement. Although still good, it failed to really grab me personally. "HEY!" I exclaimed, which is why I put a "!". "What about Texas is the Reason? " "Who?" "TITR!," said I, and saying TR at the end of the word feels weird. It's not a common constanant cluster in that posistion. "Like the article says, they "mix pop, rock and hardcore" and their influence can very definitley be felt in the current wave. Infact, I've even heard them called the daddies of "nu-emo", which is a horrible term!" "Yes," said the Spider-Mastermind, "Yes it is. Anyway, I guess you better leave hell then. You only got 20% secrets." " Hmm, I know. It was just some shells and green armour." "That's pish" "I know." With that, I found myself back in Aberdeen withnothing to do but make my way home...but something was amiss... -

I'd be willing to swap for an electric guitar on it's todd too. I'd even be willing to put about 80 quid towards it including the bass if it makes things fairer. -
OH MY JESUS! YOU ARE FUCKING SHITTING ME? Next to Lard, that must be the coolest collabrative project ever. "Hey Ian, want some Heroin?" "Nah man, y'know (makes X shape with forearms)" "So...Wolverine doesn't do drugs? What?"

Having woken up in Hell after the tragic car accident that claimed the life of myself and some Nuns I was faced with Charon the ferryman. "Hold up," I said, "I thought I'd go to the Christian Hell if anywhere, what the fuck is a character from Greek mythology doing here?" "Uh, wiel,' sais Charon in broad doric, "'er wiz mergurs an' ah thon shite. Summit tae dae wi' fallin' church attendunce, ye ken. Onywise, yer a skint lookin' basturt so instead o' gien uz money fer me tae ferry ye tae McHell.com (as it is now known), if ye ken recomennd as a 'emo" band, ah'll let ye in," "But surely," I mused, "Hell's ferryman would be a fan of Maiden, Slayer, Decide...Styx?" "Aye, nae funnay!B'sides. I like a bit 'o Prince, y'ken? But ah s'ppose ah do like pretty noisy bands, y'ken?" "Noisy bands? why sir, Desparecidos may be right up your street. The link goes to the saddle creek label site, so you may want to check out Cursive, The Faint, Broken Spindles, Bright Eyes and Rilo Kiley while you're there. Anyway, Desparecidos combine a name thats really hard to spell or pronounce with politically aware lyrics, weezer meets pulp meets At The Drive-In noise pop and Ministryesqe samples from Adverts and Public Information Films." "Politickully aware lyrics? nah min! Emos ah aboot girlfriends 'n shite!" "Well, Desparecidos' debut album is a critique of the american dream focusing on the dark side of greed culture from "New for fall" about the fickleness of fasion scenes to "The Happiest Place on Earth' about American Imperialism. See if you can hunt down the track 'Poppin' Off at the F" a total rocker of a song about Nuclear weapons" "Sounds ace," said Charon. "But the only record shop in Hell is a woolies and the only radio station is Virgin. Hope you like Coldplay and The Darkness!" With that, my screams were lost amongst the wailing of the damned. -
Nine Inch Nails were one of the first bands I really loved, and although Ministry seem much more of a metal band these days, I think "The Mind..." and "Land of Rape and Honey" are two of the awesomest albums I've ever owned. I've recently heard some Oghr thats piqued my interest and Throbbing Gristle too. Although apparently not an "Industrial" band, but sometimes classed as one rather than "No-Wave" I really think Cop Shoot Cop are worth a listen if you can find their stuff.

Listen up, I'm willing to get rid of my Washburn XB-100 bass, which can be seen in the link. Mine is in the plain matte colour. Pretty good condition as it's not used much apart from a couple of minor scratches on the body, but really, those make it look "tough" like it's been in a knife fight but WON!!!1! Not used much, just under a two years old. I'm just way more into playing guitar, and I intend to invest in an acoustic guitar and don't have the space for my Electric guitar, bass and an acoustic guitar. Since I won't have a bass, I guess I could get rid of my 15w Squire bass amp too! http://proaudiomusic.com/instruments/guitars/washburn/xb100.htm "Holy shit!" You're thinking, "what a crazy deal, what kind of price are you asking for this?" Well, my friends, I seek nothing more than $80 (I mean pounds, but can't find the pound sign on a mac keyboard) OR swap for a semi-decent acoustic guitar. G'wan! PM me if you're intrested.

Cool! I'm going to write on some more bands who aren't really on TV and stuff who I really love and who have been blessed/cursed with the whole "emo" tag, but I'm kind of tired and I want to make a post worth reading. Wait until I gush about Desparecidos.... -

NO! It is a true story based on "facts" and "evidence" from a "variety of sources"!!!
