Anyone on here listen to The Smiths? I've been really into them lately.

Holy fuck, I'm listening to them right now! :eek I left iTunes running after playing some SP and The Smiths were the next band in my library :p

My favorite album of theirs used to be Meat is Murder but now it's The Queen is Dead

Yes! I'm a big fan of The Smiths. :D

I listened to Black is You the other day and thought it was alright ... and the samples definitely were suited to the song. James really does have a dark streak to himself there you don't really get from the reviews and AVGN eps ... I watched Cinemassacre 200 and 300 and was surprised at how much work he invested over the years just making films. The story about the dragon was for me, personally moving, especially since I'm dealing with a similar theme for the book I'm currently writing.

Anyway, I guess I'll check out your other songs in a bit more depth when I have time ... and hopefully I'll have a bit more to say than 'sounds like Rammstein' ;)

You really see Rammstein in Black Is You which obviously is our Sonic Youth ripoff? :D
Don't be scared by it, it's our nosiest song by far and the last of "the old ones" left - we moved on to a more progressive rock architecture (check out Futures In Bones - my favourite).

Yeah I don't actually think it sounds like Rammstein, that was just my attempt at some humor. I'm on my second listen now for your youtubechannel, and I have to say some of this is growing on me. I'll keep ya informed.

It's even more likely than some über-force (=god) in control that would really care about us.

I'm not religious, but I do believe that if there is a god/higher power, then the god created us and left us to our own (un)doings. They don't give a shit about us. I wonder if the human race will ever come in contact with another race out there? Maybe that race can even help prevent us from destroying our own culture and population?

@Ryon: I listen to the Smiths every so often. I love "Meat Is Murder", that's my favorite album and my favorite song is probably "How Soon Is Now?" That song is just fucking ace. Also Ryon, do you listen to Massive Attack?

So guys...when are we gonna do the next MTC? :yay

I wonder how great music will be in 20-30 yrs? Probably be tons of cool electro-future stuff! Probably still shitty auto-tune in the mainstream though.

EDIT: Just realized I have over 420 albums! I'm well on my way to a damn fine collection! :)
I went to see Dark Knight Rises for a second time, and I think I enjoyed it even more. Since I knew the main gist of the story it was much easier to follow and pick up on details. I also was able to appreciate the acting more. The guy who did John Blake did a really good job!

I'm currently enjoying the SP incubation time of my drummer.
Since I lent him some SP for him to listen Jimmy, he started liking them so much that he's listening to Gish, SD and MCIS every day right now.
Driving home from a show last night, we were singing By Starlight all way :)
Now he got Pisces, Adore and MACHINA I &II and I think we'll have a new fan in Germany!

^That's awesome Don! Share the SP love! By Starlight is one of the most underappreciated SP songs btw.

I just spent $55 at a record store yesterday. Got 9 CDs. Some notable ones being Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" (thanks to Frankie's recommendation :)) Miles Davis' "On The Corner" and A Tribe Called Quests "Low End Theory". Also got some more PJ Harvey, Public Enemy, and a new album from a rapper named Sage Francis. (The record store clerk sold me on it, plus it was only 6 bucks)

$55 well spent imo.

Michael Jackson's Dangerous is a strong album imo and I still wonder how Nevermind could beat this in the charts :D

That's about how much I spent at a hot dog street festival yesterday :yay . Man, I'm never paying $8 for an alligator hot dog ever again.

ALLIGATOR?
This is even more snobbish than the kangaroo meat (which is surprisingly tastey like a mixture of pork and beef) I usually eat at my favourite Chniese restaurant :D .

Yeah, if I didn't know I was eating alligator I would have thought it just another pork sausage. Maybe it was because of the way they seasoned it.

What are the Chinese doing eating kangaroos though, I thought they were Australian! :p

I dunno.
Maybe they import kangaroos because of Australia's galore.
What we have here is a case of a Chinese restaurant offering Australian meat in Germany :D

Or snail.

I feel bad enough eating cows, pigs and chickens, to be honest. So I'd prefer not to (knowingly) eat any other animals. Oh, I eat fish too, but they had it coming.

On my holidays in France some years ago they were offering Frogs and Snails in literally every French restaurant and so I ended up eating at Greek and Italian restaurants or Mc Donald's every day.
