I don't know if that makes me a prude or something but it just feels so empty just looking at pictures of chicks. I mean they are attractive but what makes looking at them worth our time? There is no interaction, no return of affection, no nothing. Their egos are boosted and you just wasted your time. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this shit. I just wish I could find someone to be with, no more of this lurking around the net looking at pictures like some akward adolecent. Well if karma has anything to do with it, I'm probally going to stay single the rest of my life. Sorry about this rant just had to get it off my chest.

Eric I'm probally stating the obvious and this probally applies to most of the guys on this board, but you really really really need to get a girlfriend.

Two things about the Noise Conspiracy/Trail of Dead show.

One, who was that first band?

Two, I was not terribly impressed by Trail of Dead. Maybe it had nothing to do with their set. Perhaps it was the guy to my left complaining about how the audience didn't "get" Trail of Dead. Perhaps it was the idiot in front of me who discovered early in the show that, if he raised his hands really high, they would show up on the screen (This discovery, akin to a child discovering that blowing air between his upper lip and his teeth makes a sound somewhat similar to a fart, was exploited at every opportunity, much as that child is wont to do with his new sound effect. Needless to say, the crowd got flipped off a lot.) Maybe it was the guitarist who looked like he was falling asleep that affected my impression of their set.

I don't know, but I didn't enjoy it much, until those last two songs (which were, admittedly, very good, if only by comparison). It was all the more unimpressive considering it was on the heels of what was, to me, an amazing set by Noise Conspiracy. (By the way, wow.)

Would I have appreciated them more had I listened to more of their music prior to the show? Am I lacking in some sort of musical couture that would have opened my eyes to some sort of hidden brilliance?

MAAKIES!!!!

Ever touched the last hand of communism? Didn't think so.

But I did. It's sweaty.

In Albert related news I've decided to get Ironman:House of M #1-3 when it comes out. His new armor looks super cool. Kinda reminds me of a Gundam/Transformer.

Sides if you post on a different board, this place will miss some of that flavour.

Well some people don't care what you put down but I don't think it really matters. Why should it matter what you put down on this board. If I have learned anything on posting on this board is that you just post and who cares if anyone reads it. I do my Grand Arms thing and it doesn't really matter how many people read it or if anyone reads it. Just do it because you want to. Either or will be fine with me, I won't read it much though. Just because some stuff you guys post seem derivative or not my thing.

also, there's TONS of amazing shit to be found here. Here's a sample of what can be found:

The Evens (yes, that's Ian Mackaye from Fugazi/Minor Threat/Dischord Records):


Lightning Bolt:


Blood Brothers:


Daughters (I d/l some of their shit a few weeks back and it's incredible):


MIA (she's totally hotter than I realized, haha):


Do Make Say Think:


The Hidden Cameras:
