Yeah, the cursive vinyl I got has extra stuff... and apparently the new converge record has some bonus stuff too. If better sound quality doesn't convince you enough, these days there's so many reasons to go vinyl it's not even funny. Besides bonus material, there's always the fact that a lot vinyl put out these days is done on special wax... which makes it look a bazillion times cooler than even the coolest compact discs. Speaking of that new converge record again, it's the raddest looking vinyl ever. It's clear with white splotches around the edges!!! See for yourself:

oh yeah... that other Arcade Fire album I have is called "Us Kids Know". I think it's almost better than "Funeral", though noticeably less produced.

First the Postal Service expands their vinyl release with new remixes and now bonus tracks on Smile?!? wax is totally the way to go

i've sorta found some middle ground with the Arcade Fire- they're TOTALLY the talk of the town, and admittedly they've put out a pretty solid record, but i wasn't really blown away by any means. i kinda felt that a lot of their Montreal compatriots had already covered similar postrock ground. i do agree that a lot of people either love it or hate it, but i think that has a lot to do with the fact that it's such a hyped record.

if you want another RED vs BLUE State division, check out "Liars: They Were Wrong So We Drowned" that's definately one you'll like either like or hate and dismiss as just noise. also it's good listening material for Witchcraft and Occulteers as the record is all about witches- with titles such as "There's more Room on the Broom"

GWAR photos

Here's what you suckas missed out on! Too bad the photos do absolutely NO justice to the spectacle that is GWAR! I mean, he should of taken at least ONE picture of people covered in blood. Also, I'm pissed how he barely managed to get any photos with the copious amounts of blood spewing everywhere! Then again, I suppose it's a little hard to take photos with you camera when they're spraying blood in your face.

To his credit however, he DID manage to get a shot of Paris Hilton eating out her own disemboweled pussy. heh heh

Yeah, Arcade Fire's not too bad. But I dunno... I'd say I'm one of the few in that middle ground there. The old issue of Exclaim! that featured them is still lying on the floor in my room. You can have it if you want. haha Also, although Funeral was supposedly their first release, I somehow managed to d/l an older album of them as well, which is equally as "good" as Funeral in my opinion. In their defence, I've heard people say that they're a band you have to see live as opposed to recorded.

I'd say just d/l it and save your money for the LIME/LDF albums coming out in a month or two. That would be a much wiser investment.

hey Robert, who's your mom?
oh wait, don't answer that, i already know that one. and i mean know that one...



and i mean know that one


...as in one tit

thanks for coming out.

That being of kindness is dead. Buddha was only able to carry on because compassion and humanity was shown to him in his darkest state. He saw the greatness of humanity. Therefore why should a being such as I was before exist. He can't possibly exist if no compassion or humanity was shown to him, therefore he should die. In buddhist scriptures there is reputed world of eternal wars called the realm of Ashura, a world filled with no compassion or humanity. This is only what I have become, it is man nature to become a being of hatred and rage when there is no humanity left. That being said I was only showing Eric the same amount of "humanity" that was being shown to him, is that really a crime? Weak beings like him can not exist, only beings not concerned with the feelings or "humanity" of other beings are strong enough to live. Believe me I was never really the nice, kind "good guy".

Par, next time I'm in CAB I'll play you some Arcade Fire, I've been listening to them a lot recently. I'd say that it's a pretty solid album, but I've found that a lot of people either love it or hate it, I've seen very little middle ground.

Also, is your uncle a quiet person?

Gah, so many clicks to link... or something...

I'm going to sleep, I'd just like to say:

• I've been gone for four days, and you guys have revoked freedom of speech, freedom of fashion, and taken "questionable" pictures of Alison? I gotta head out of town more often!


• I've officially gotten the google scholar link from three different people


• You guys didn't change governments like I asked... I'm disappointed.


• At the risk of sounding uncouth to the music geeks here, is there a "good" (i.e. cd-purchase justifying) reason I keep hearing about the arcade fire from so many sources?


• On a note that may bore people, I find it hilarious that my Mom's cousin Mahendra used the (for lack of a better term) "white" business name of "Mike" (ie. Mike Shah). This fact, for me, is even more hilarious than my uncle and dad working at the same company, going by, respectively, Jay and Bob.
