Poor Jim.

A friend of mine works at a grocery store and it sounds like it has similar issues, except with shithead college students instead of older ladies.

 

[Hell Patrol]

Who'd be worse to work with? Shithead college students or panicky old ladies?

 

[unknown]

actually in my store, all the people under 30 are the best workers.

Just got back from a local show, with a myriad of different kinds of bands. Was awesome. One of the best shows I've seen.

 

[Hell Patrol]

By myriad of different kinds of bands, are we talking within or without the metal genre?

 

[The Butt]

Nah, not just metal. There were a couple hardcore punk bands, a pop-punk band (that did a fun-as-fuck cover of Teenage Dream by Katy Perry ), a southern-hardcore band, and a melodic death metal one.

 

[Hell Patrol]

Never heard a southern hardcore band TBH. Sounds like a pretty cool line-up of acts, other than the pop-punk band, but it sounds like they did a cool cover from what you say. Probably the best fun-as-fuck cover I ever heard was a punk band playing a pop medley (Missy Higgins, Art VS Science, Justin Beiber). It was better than it sounds.

 

[The Butt]

The pop-punk band's not bad actually. A bit generic, but they at least know what they're doing... and don't really take themselves overly serious, it's just really fun tunes. They've covered Ke$ha in the past so I was expecting a "fun" pop cover.

Also, the southern hardcore band. It's more metalcore tbh, but meh. They're great, regardless IMO.

 

[Hell Patrol]

Pop-punk is okay generally, I just don't like when people treat it as the be-all-end-all of music. There's a Green Day obsession whereas I live, and so I can be pretty disdainful of it.

 

[The Butt]

The scene in Kemptville (where the show was at, bout half-hour from where I actually live) actually isn't bad, they know the good pop punk (Sharks, Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals) from the horrendous (Green Day, other such filth).

 

[Hell Patrol]

We don't even have a scene where I live. Most local acts are just screw around cover bands that will play literally anything pop-y.

 

[The Butt]

That sucks!

At least in Kemptville there's a couple decent melodeath/death metal bands.

 

[Hell Patrol]

Yeah it's lame. Oh well, I still got my CD's.

 

[stephahnie]

I went to a pop-punk show on Friday! My best friend's husband's friends were playing.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I don't go to local shows; no good metal bands from around here really.

 

[stephahnie]

Some very hipster looking man with a large head elbowed my friend into the ground in a very odd pop punk mosh pit .. In an old house .. in the ghetto. Very odd evening.

This. I doubt Olorin will even play a show in the local area. If so, I'd probably mock the other bands for not listening to the true khazad doom.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

You guys have to get a big Olorin banner printed; you can use the logo I made, because it's mainly just a font.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I'd love to. Shit, I should just ask Grandma Jordan to sew it.

But seriously, where do you go for stuff like that?
