Ooh! Ooh! Judge me next!
 

Welcome to MB, triple three :)

Thank you, thank you.

Nice list, you'll like it here :)

why thank you.

I think its safe to say you'll find a number of people here with similar music tastes given some of the stuff you have listed. Im digging the post-rock stuff, Clutch and Acid Mothers Temple :thumb:

Welcome.

Interesting. You're the first non-american I've run into that likes Clutch. It seems like such a soundtrack for much of the American ways. I can't take a road trip without listening to Robot Hive/Exodus. :) It's one of the rare things that makes me proud to be an American.

As for Acid Mother's Temple - I've been recently introduced to them about a year ago and loved them from the beginning! I'm going to see them next month. :D

Thanks for the reply.

...oh **** yes.

Welcome! :wave:

That's right, bitch.

A lot of my friends like Clutch. Some of them went to see them play with Corrosion of Conformity and Stinking Lizaveta a few years back in Scotland which I am still ultra jealous of to this day.

I have never seen Acid Mothers Temple :( but I would love to. Have a quick look here if you havent already! Internet Archive: Acid Mothers Temple

You appear to have forgotten to list The Fall in your favourite bands , but apart from that small oversight I hope you stick around.

Thanks for the link. I've seen Clutch one time at Bonnaroo 2007. I originally went for Tool :), but found many amazing artists there. Clutch puts on an AMAZING show ... I'm actually going to see them in May. :D Let's see those green eyes now.

This will be my first time seeing AMT! I'll definitely post about.

Hope you do. They seem to put on some killer shows, I'll hopefully get to see them one day. I have seen Clutch once too at a festival which was great but an indoors gig sometime is a must.

pahahaha

you like Ween! Can we talk about Ween?!

excellent. wanna have sex with me tonight?

Will I shame myself if I say I don't know who The Fall is?

You see ... Here's the ****ty thing about Ween:

I don't know if you're making fun of me or if you're serious. Either way, I will laugh in the face that is your's. :laughing:

See?
Look at what you've done.

But I guess on a "serious" level, if you want to talk about Ween, we can. They're not my favorite. In fact, some of their material gets down right teeth gritting - to the point where I opt to punch infants. Even with their best album, I like roughly 85% of it. They definitely have some of the diversity elements, which can sort of be compared to Bungle ... Only ***er ...

i was being serious in a childishly excited way, we don't even have a Ween thread. Or maybe I made one... :(
yeah not all their stuff is great depending on what you're after but i assumed you were a fan since they were in your intro thing. oh well!
i'll just wrap it up with a quick preference flow chart cause they are so popular around here
Pure Guava>>Chocolate and Cheese>>>>Mollusk>>>the vaguely annoying super lo-fi early stuff>>> the rest

the thing with Ween is you can tell they listen to a lot of 70's Beatles-y soft rock and when they could be bothered they were master pop craftsmen; but they did write in a variety of genres and had that retarded scatological side. Just not all in one song like Monsieur Bungle. A lot more tongue-in-cheek as well vis à vis the voice manipulation, which is probably what makes you grit your teeth.

And Bungle are spotless really because they paced themselves to three excellent albums over a decade

Excellent list of bands. Welcome to MB.

can you sexually harass someone over the internet?

Well, just to clarify this to future readers/listeners, I'm not really a big fan of the "fave list" - not for movies, not for books, anything really because I don't like to put some sort of parameter around my exploration of music. It's free-flowing and always evolving, just as any of your musical interests. Frankly, I didn't list but the gist of what I'm into. They're not favorites, but definitely musicians that I'd like to think I've explored deeply enough to list them. And yes, though Ween is not one of my favorites, I deeply appreciate and respect them for what they've created. Yes, you're right. The poppy stuff is what kills it for me a lot of the times. You described them pretty well, though and not many people can put it into a small paragraph like that. Kudos.

As for Bungle ... :yeah:

Thank you. It's beautiful to be surrounded by individuals who share similar taste and passion in music.

I really dig your list, welcome!

When are you seeing AMT? I'm seeing them on April 24th.

Good list for the record, have you heard of Fela Kuti?

Thank you, Alfred.

Terrible Lizard man : As for AMT, I'm trying to see them April 22nd. You must be near by if we are only two days apart in seeing them. And no, I've not heard of Fela Kuti. Please do elaborate and/or share.

Read. If you want something to start on, let me know.
Consider it your welcome gift to MB. :D

Very interesting. Much thanks!

A bit late on the welcome but hello. You have a better opening thread than most. Good Start.

Thank you. Do we have anything in common band-selection wise?

Yea pretty much everything bar a few.

clutch clutch,....i too like clutch,...

Indeed, I've never (simultaneously) sang or danced so much at a show! I first saw them at Bonnaroo 2007 and I'm going to see them again in May at the Music Farm in Charleston. They've got some of the best energy live.

we could have danced together

i too was at that show

Nice.

I went with a pretty huge group of friends and ended up lost, dancing alone. It was great. :) I most certainly would have danced with you .. If I hadn't passed at drunk on the lawn in front of the stage soon after.

meh,...it happens,....

personally i like to get drunk and wallow in mud puddles like bud and sissy in urban cowboy

Your journal intrigues me. I don't know why because I know it's just typical everyday things. I suppose I enjoy hearing another perspective on everyday life. I have a xanga journal, but it's old and started when I was 15, so at parts it's pretty teen-angsty.

thank you,....
its not very well put together,....and words have been hard to come by lately,.....
a year ago, it seems i was writting everyday,...now,.....i just feel uninspired,...i guess i'm just at a point in my life where i'm hit the end of my rope,...i'm 25,...i need to get my **** together,...and follow through with some kinda of life plan,...


but sometimes i drink

So, keep in mind I'm 5 years younger than you, so what I'm about to say is only from observation.

I think too many of us are often plagued by the idea that we have to be at a certain point in our life at a certain age, or "settled". I try not to get sucked into this type of thinking because I feel that it can be so limiting. I mean, I can't really talk to you about personal goals or problems because I just met you, but what exactly does it mean to "get your **** together"? Why does there need to be a plan for life? So, this might be a little cynical, but most of us weren't planned pregnancies, so why live your life thinking you always have to accomplish something "worthy"? Why commit to one lifestyle, one career, one stereotype? Why, with being in the time and age we are, showered in copious technology and advances, are we so worried about committing to one thing?! This is by no means a personal attack against you or anything, but this is the exact type of thinking that keeps us from revolutionizing and evolving!

I'll stop here for now. I feel like if we were to go any further on the subject matter, we'd have to start another, more specific thread. :D

I just noticed that. :)

I get high almost every single day and have an oh-so soft spot for tequila. :)

five years doesnt seem like much,....but i've changed so much in the past five years sometimes i dont know who i am anymore

for the most part you are right,....but when you wake up one morning and everyone around you has kids, or is married, or is married with kids, or is gettin married,......or they have a life partner,.....and i dunno,.....are doin grown up stuff,.....it'll flip you out
