Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

I still feel this way.

If I didn't think it was shit, I wouldn't try to change it and if I could I would move, but I can't so I shan't. Whatever used to be great about Australia is mostly in the past in my opinion.
Haha, flip-flop much? Do you want to move to America or not? You just said you'd rather stay and that you'd move if you could. Do you fucking hate this place or not? How was it better in the past? Is it possibly because we were allowed to have guns? How are you trying to change it? By spending 8 hours a day pontificating on a metal forum?

I still don't see how this is relevant to patriotism though.
I thought it was pretty obvious that I found it odd that you felt the need to jump on me out of nowhere for being 'anti-patriotic' when you've been so vocally anti-Australia yourself quite recently. It's one thing to criticise your country while loving it but 'I fucking hate this shithole and I'd move to America if I could' is another thing entirely. Your weak attempt at back-pedalling when I called you out on it is fucking hilarious.

I scanned it quickly and it looked especially fucked on my phone so I stopped reading it.

It's not a flip-flop. The main reason I won't or can't move to anywhere is because I have a kid here. The main reason I'd prefer to live in America is because not only do they have more freedoms available to it's people but it also is built in such a way that it makes it easier to defend these freedoms.

I do hate this place, because of the government. What I'm more accurately saying is that I hate the Australian government. It was better in the past because there was less government overreach and more individual freedoms. Today we live in a suffocating nanny country, in my opinion. Heavy gun ownership restrictions are just one part of it.

All that considered, I would now just rather stay in Australia and try to change Australia.

How I'm trying to change it is by pursuing causes and supporting candidates that share my values.

Not sure what bringing up my forum activities has to do with anything other than you're acting like a TechBarb butthurt person. You realise that, just like you, I use this forum while I'm at work right?

Jump on you? Okay, calm down Jesus the martyr. Also, you haven't called anybody out, what are you a 16 year old Tumblrite?

When I'm vocally anti-Australia it's actually just that I'm anti-our government as I've explained above.

Prostitution is legal in Australia.

That's great and everything, but it doesn't exactly paint you as the posterboy for patriotism, which was my initial point.

I was addressing HP's repeated questioning as to why his submission was rated so low. Nothing to do with you whatsoever.

Well when I'm vocally anti-patriotic I'm quite obviously anti boganic southern-cross tattooed 'fuck-off we're full' Aussie pride redneckery or in this case, the American equivalent. How does that make me brain dead exactly?

For clarity.

If you say so, I don't see your logic though. Not that I would want to be the poster boy for patriotism.

That's not patriotism.

Meh. I don't care about how you feel.

If you associate patriotism with things that aren't patriotic and then hate patriotism based on the strawman you've created, you're an idiot. There are genuine criticisms of patriotism that I've seen before, this isn't among them.
 
Short ratings because I'm in a rush:


Tommy Emanuel - Lewis and Clarke 7/10
I like his style.

Team America - America, Fuck Yeah 2/10
This shit is played out.

He's clearly a good guitarist but his voice is annoying and it was so much fancy work not enough feeling. I'm bored

Tori Amos - Virginia 6/10
I like Tori Amos actually. Her voice is cool. This song doesn't change much but it's okay.

inoffensive. 6/10

Team America - America, Fuck Yeah

lazy pick, played out and far from being the funniest part of that movie anyway. 4/10

Ted Nugent - The Star Spangled Banner

10 points for being the most american thing on the list. -8 points for being the most american thing on the list. 2/10

Tori Amos - Virginia
unexpectedly builds something quite wild, lyrical and haunting upon what initially seems like generic '90s fare. 7.5/10

Chuck Berry - Back in the U.S.A.

not one of my favorites from this era. 5.5/10

Johnny Winter - Dallas

love that slide guitar. cool vibe. 7/10

Dead Kennedys - California Über Alles

a classic of course. maybe i'd like them even more if i didn't spend my teenage years worshipping the offspring's debut lol, lots of DK influence going on there. 8/10

Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam

nina at her most angry and defiant. what a striking woman she was, unbelievable presence. i ain't 'BOUT to be non-violent honey! fucking badass. 10/10

Skeleton Crew - We're Still Free

cool. reminds me of this heat a bit but i probably like this better actually. 7.5/10

Frank Black - Los Angeles

the slower parts probably originated as a pixies outtake and they're just sort of tacked on here, leaving no impression. the rest is good but it doesn't feel like a proper song as a whole, which is something you could say about a lot of pixies stuff even when their sound was so fresh that it didn't matter so much. they worked better in album form, maybe his solo stuff does too. 7/10
