Music Shit / Echo and the Bunnymen - Crocodiles

CD-sized graphics honestly don't do this thing justice. Getting this on vinyl recently just made me realize just how great the album art is. Seriously, that's some fantastic photography on the front cover, and the greenish/purple lighting is just too incredible for words.

And the music's great too, of course.

One of them may be reading this, I don't really care at this point.  He is the kind of person who actively tries to get his (black, of course) jeans to be as tight as possible.  He leads an ironic lifestyle, which I think is all I need to say about that.  Oh, and once said, "Keeping up with music is so hard. [Note: he only downloads mp3s.]  It must be so much easier for you, since you only listen to one kind of music."  !!? 

Um, actually I'm not ashamed to admit that's me. So what? Yeah I wear tight pants. Yeah I listen to mp3s. I remember anytime I would buy a record, it would somehow mysteriously find its way onto your record player. I never made a big fuss. However if one of your precious LPs was ever out of meticulous alphabetical order you'd have a fit for days.

Never bought toilet paper? You're right, but you neglect to mention we'd steal it all the time from the cafe down the street, which never seemed to bug you before. Never doing dishes? I bought all those paper plates just for that reason, which you would use up ALL the time! I never once complained. If you're not going to chip in for plates it's only fair you wash a dish every now and then, especially since I did most of the cooking, and you guys practically lived off of my leftovers.

As for your birthday, we didn't invite people over because you were always such a bitch to our friends. You didn't like them, and you sure as hell didn't want them there until it seemed like no one was going to come to your dumb party. The whole thing was your affair from the get-go, and you practically begged me to stay even though I had other plans that evening. I didn't help you throw the party, so yeah I wasn't going to help you clean up afterwards, especially when you promised us a week before that you were "handling everything."

A few things I didn't appreciate: Coming home and finding complete strangers sleeping in my bed. You borrowing my stuff without ever asking, including the clothes you're now making fun of me for wearing. The passive aggressive notes you used to post up all over the place. The whole thing with Melinda, (I don't care if she's reading this) which I don't feel like going into right now. And last but not least, you taking off a mere two days before the lease was up and then deciding you weren't going to pay your share of the rent for the last month. Then you had the nerve to ask for your security deposit back. You're too fucking much.

That's the problem with the current rock scene. The bands are all way too loud.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Most memorable "party" experiences from '07

« on: December 15, 2007, 11:40:11 AM »

but there were moments when it was extremely difficult to restrain myself from doing myself great physical harm. If I would have brought my gun, I wouldn't be posting this now.

That morning I remember having to talk you down a couple times because you couldn't sleep, and we'd go into the patio, or whatever room that was, and I'd be rubbing my face in ash-ridden carpet while trying to talk to you and calm you down, only I wasn't making much sense myself. I distinctly remember a few times you giving me this scary intense look like, "Yeah you think this is so funny, motherfucker? It won't be so funny when I crack your fucking skull open."

I managed to end up at some Mad Max themed New Years party, and when I arrived a large group of people were fighting in the middle of the street in full-on Mad Max attire, swinging chains and smashing Skyy vodka bottles to use as weapons. One guy got hit by a car but kept fighting anyway. It was pretty surreal.

Music Shit / Re: I have officially lost touch with the music of today...

I'm a little late in this thread, Steve, but I have to say, a friend of mine is just recently going through the same sort of thing. Only instead of music, he seems to have lost interest in food. This guy always had a big appetite and for some reason within the past few days, maybe for a week now, he just can't eat anything. He sees food, and he says it just makes him nauseous.

Basically, he's been living off water, and the small bits of food he forces himself to eat. The other day he made this ham and cheese sandwich, and just sat around looking at it for ten minutes before giving it to me. He drinks a lot, so that may be part of the problem, but he stopped drinking for a bit to see if his appetite would come back, and it hasn't. He smokes a lot of pot, and that helps him a little bit, but he still can't put down a full meal. At least, not like he used to. Like I said, this guy had a big appetite, which is why this is so weird. And scary.

I can't think of any other solutions for him, other than to see a doctor, which he probably won't do. There've been some helpful suggestions on here, but I don't think many of them would translate too well for his dilemma. For instance, stepping away from the kitchen for a little while, doesn't seem like the best of advice.
