    i had a wicked bad nightmare last night involving a mr. softee truck

    I had a dream about brooklyn last night too. I was at a grocery store and some dude popped a few caps into my chest. I wrestled the gun away from him and shot him dead. I had a feeling of metal in my chest and my chest was all gushy and bloody moist with the bullet squeezing out, crunching...

    Post Only What You Are Listening To Right Now:

    I don't know what you're listening to, but I'd say their newest marks a very distinct departure from their earlier stylings. I'm overall disappointed with the album (though i can enjoy it). I think it had immense potential but it seems rushed: The production is off, simplistic and...

    An offshoot of Toby's thread: I have a crush on my composition teacher.

    OMFG, that other picture is funny. I hope that never happens to me. I'm reminded of my good ol brooklyn days where highschoolers in gym gave other guys little something called "brownies" (ie a bunch of guys hold you down and one guy pulls down his pants and wipes his sphincter on your nose!)...

    I know there is a philosophical term for this, but I dunno what it is...

    I'll email a few professors see what I can get. I'll tell you about it next week. (I'm interested in knowing a word for the concept myself!)

    movie rants: mulholland drive

    back from the dead. I saw this movie only once. but I'm pretty sure the blonde girl is dreaming. in real life she's a bad actor, in the dream a magnificent one; she's has a neurotic relationship withthe brunette who is getting married and doesn't love her anymore; in the dream they're in...

    Why is my roommate's Air Conditioner sitting in the bathtub?

    Straight answer, I say it's there because some air conditioners tend to build up with water. Perhaps he was draining the ac before or is intending to do so.

    The "if Opeth's newest doesn't sound like.. then it sucks" thread

    not much. It's their first effort, the production can be improved. you need to give them the benefit of the doubt. And what you're saying becomes more and more unlikely when you appreciate an album. It's easy to fake albums that are full of loops of repeating riffs. But this can't be said of an...

    I wasn't referring to "technicality" at all. We're not- at least I"m not - talking about "effects". I'm talking about merit. -- again not a technical issue, so much as a intelligence issue - directing, purposively, your music and making the most of it in an interval of time. I can say...

    A shame. that's the very thing listeners say about Orchid. They're wrong. And they're missing a lot. And also, you are casting music into a certain die, expecting it to conform to your limited definition of music. I don't blame orchid for not conforming so obviously to your tastes.

    No person is the consummate physicist either. But judgements one guy makes can be judged against another's. you raise fine points, metalmancpa. but I agree with none of them. some guy takes a delight in watching the juggler juggle three balls. what if there were another juggler juggling...

    The "if Opeth's newest doesn't sound like.. then it sucks" thread

    I can't disagree more. It's not true to say orchid is blue and mr is red and bw is green, and that because orchid is blue I think it's superior. Suppose instead I said Orchid is superior because it is full of color and wondrous shapes, and mr or bwp is in monochrome full of grey and straight...

    morningrise is dry and straightforward. It's great but it lacks the wonder, awe and magic that Orchid has. Listen to the twin guitar harmonics on any song in Orchid as they weave and dance with each other. The riffs are alive and always symbolizing something beyond the music. And every second is...
