A couple of my back teeth just got super sensitive to hot and cold this week. Isn't that one of the questions they always ask?

Music Shit / Re: First CD
« on: May 21, 2009, 01:09:24 PM »
Kris Kross - Totally Krossed Out, followed by the entire Weird Al Yankovic catalog up to that point, bought one at a time with allowance. I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I still have the Kris Kross album, somewhere, it's one of those cds that used record stores won't touch and I haven't been able to bring myself to throw it away.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Movies I've been watching
« on: May 16, 2009, 05:44:20 PM »
Just saw Punisher: War Zone. What the hell, how did I not know this movie existed? I mean, it's obviously trash but it definitely rises above with some of the most hilarious onscreen violence I've seen in a while. Anybody else see it?

Non-Music Shit / Re: New Star Trek Movie
« on: May 12, 2009, 03:44:18 PM »If you haven't seen the Doom movie, you really need to.
hahaha whaaaaaaaaaaaaat
I like Karl Urban as much as the next guy but whaaaaaaat
Have you seen it? It's easily my favorite video game movie ever. Ridiculous from beginning to end. It's not great art (duh), but I think the first person sequence just hits me in some section of the brain devoted to awesomeness.
Also, Karl Urban isn't a standout in that movie, I was just really referencing his association to it.

I grew up on Star Trek: the Next Generation, and it's still by far my favorite. Nothing in any series beats the moment where Picard first appears as Locutus. Blew my little-kid mind.
Anyway, yeah, the new movie was awesome. They got what made the original characters fundamentally interesting absolutely right, even if the tone is different.
Oh, and Karl Urban is my new favorite actor, after this and the Doom movie. If you haven't seen the Doom movie, you really need to.

Music Shit / Re: COVER SONGS THAT ARE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL
« on: May 10, 2009, 03:10:23 PM »
How many of the songs you guys mention here as being better than the originals would hold up if you didn't have the original to put it in context? Not saying that delegitimizes anything but it's something to think about.

Has anyone seen Electric Dragon 80000V? Same director as burst city, Sogo Ishii. He's in a band with Tadanobu Asano, they play on the soundtrack. Anyway, yeah, the scenes where the main character has to play guitar to keep from going insane are pretty fucking awesome.

Music Shit / Re: terminal boredom is now rolling stone
« on: March 26, 2009, 11:25:22 PM »when does it become uncool to be lo-fi?
Its uncool when you're doing it on purpose. I can understand bands having a lo fi sound because it's what they can get but when you're recording an album on Garageband, the antithesis of lo fi, it looks really fucking trendy from where I stand. If you have good equipment and try to make your album sound like shit, it seems like you don't even care.
Oh, come on. Different production styles are different production styles. Some music just sounds better lo-fi. Just because someone has access to a higher-fidelity recording method means they HAVE to use it or they're being disingenuous? That's bullshit. Note: I am not taking any position on any of the bands in this thread.
Yeah, they are being disingenuous. Why put so little effort into your production when you want to make a good piece of art? Its like if a band played like shit or wrote shitty songs because it was cool. Lo fi is trendy bullshit. period. Yes, there are alot of great records with lo fi production, but how many of those records were produced with that in mind? Most good lo fi records came about out of necessity, not out of premeditation.
This question of what is "genuine" just amazes me. Why might a painter work in an imprecise medium, when they have classical training and can paint photorealistic portraits? POSERS. Also, your idea that "most good lo-fi records came about out of necessity?" Are you kidding me? Even shitty four-tracks can record clean takes. I guarantee that on most of those records the artist cranked stuff up because they wanted to. It's a production choice! You can be the one to look the 16-year-old kid in the eye and tell him there won't be any punk rock christmas because all he has to record his garage band on is his parents' mac and if he uses garage band IT MUST BE CLEAN, GODDAMMIT

Non-Music Shit / Re: HOUSE SHOWS
« on: March 15, 2009, 08:17:46 PM »I need to start taking this advice. I think anyone who's been to my house (not my house, but might as well be) in Seattle will agree it's a fucking amazing place to host shows, but every time we go past 11 now we get the cops. Stupid fucking assholes hang out outside and yell instead of getting their asses inside the soundproofed barn.
Is this the "Science" I know in Seattle? Or is there more than one person with that nickname there?
edit: Wait, I think I may have already asked you this and you said no. I can't remember shit.
Probably not? I kind of picked the name at random for the board. My actual name is Zack.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Tattoos
« on: March 11, 2009, 10:16:23 AM »ugh. I'm right there with Lacey and the 'quit fucking grabbing me and yanking up my sleeve to see my tattoos'. Don't grab my leg either. You ever hear of personal space? Next time someone does that, I'm going to punch them.
Just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean you have the right to grab at me. You wouldn't do that to a dude.
Yes, I have a tattoo.
No, you can't see any more of it than what is already viewable to you.
Fuck off.
I don't know about other guys, but I get manhandled all the time. People pulling up my sleeve, pulling down the shoulder of my shirt. Sometimes I get the caress, as if the tattoo has some kind of tactile element. Anybody else get that?
