you guys are adorable, getting so angry about music! I want to pinch your cheeks! Just kiss and make up already. We're all good people here. <---- gets affectionate when he drinks whisky

thanks, I'm so excited, the box of goodies will be here by the end of the month! I have a goal: if i sell all 1000, I'll buy a baby grand piano. (the one i want is $6k), and travel to Europe. I'll still have enough money to order another $1000 CDs. So I'm excited.

Thankyou! My favorite lyricist is hands down the great Leonard Cohen as far as non musical poetry I really dig Lao Tzu, and Kahlil Gibran

This is why I love How I Met Your Mother. Because the friends in that show have an analogy called the "porch test." And whenever I meet someone, I ask myself "can I see myself being lifelong friends with this person?" Because thats the only kind of friendships that I seek out. The bottom line is: friendships are hard work, and people start to realize that the older they get, but as they say, work pays off in some form or another; whether its lessons learned, or bonds built... my mom was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease about eleven years ago, and she was in and out of the hospital for a few years. While she was at the lowest point in her life, she lost a lot of friends. They were throwing parties and get-togethers and she was too sick to attend. Eventually people forgot about her. She learned that most people don't have the patience to be there for someone during dark times. My mom needed her friends, and none of them were there for her. None of them visited her in the hospital. A friend of mine was confiding in me the other day that he had lost all his friends, and I feel like its appropriate to post my response: The hard reality we all have to face is that people come and go, and most of the time it isn't up to us. Most people are too self-serving to want to put forth the effort to sustain their friendships. Its not about bonding or spiritual connectivity anymore, but more about "what can this person do for me?" Selfish, I know, but that's the majority of people nowadays. Friendships that don't go past the surface are plentiful; they're great to be around in casual, social, or business settings. But when you start to open up to others as a human being, you'll quickly find out how little patience most people have. Most people don't want to deal with their friends' problems. A true friend can, however, and they will be there for you and lift you up without hesitation or complaints, because thats what true friends are for. Its second nature to us. I have to keep most people at arm's length now, because my outlook on friendship is idealistic according to most. But you gotta stick by your guns. Plus, its easier this way. You get to focus on who and what is really important. Like I always say, quality over quantity. Okay, I finished my cocktail. Time for bed.

love m83!

my record - 1000 copies, lol

agreed. I look at idols more of in an influential and inspirational stand-point, so I suppose the word "idol" is taken extremely lightly. I admire Frank Zappa, but not THIS much

Poison has outlasted their welcome

This is called "Insomniac's Lullaby" and is the closer on my record. Basically a My suspended animation is keeping me an inch away from sleep There's still so much to see When the day is ailing me and the melatonin is failing me Then it's Atlas, at last! Atlas, at last for me... Awake in the dark where I dance to an endless refrain So begins the witching hour of bed and brain I'm on my knees searching for keys There's no wonder why I just can't rely on epiphanies I've played the waiting game for years and years and it's clearly plain to see That repetition is a sign of insanity Meanwhile... I'm lying awake in the dark Not a wink, so I drink to unwind Dancing with a syncopated body and mind So when tomorrow comes I won't think about this year In that I've lived my life just to disappear Now is the time to start some fires It's time to slash these wicked tires So get me out! Get me out of here!

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant lyrics. still the one line by them that has always stood out in the back of my mind... "I'll be the corpse in your bathtub... useless..."

haha! Yes, its a german site. I don't think there's any way of getting them in the US unless I can find them in NY. Hopefully I'll be able to find them or something similar.

So true. So true. I lost a close friend while making my record. he's been an aspiring artist for as long as I have. He hasn't made a record yet (and he's had more opportunities than I have), and seeing that I was doing just that caused him to distance himself from me. I had always helped him out for free (because thats what friends are for). But when I asked if he would like to help with the record, he decided to charge me $150 to use his garage, and $200 to borrow a microphone and a preamp, knowing that I didn't have that kind of money. He's the type that wants what he can't have, and at the time I was in a relationship with a girl he wanted but couldn't have. So he also took it upon himself to try and tell her and everyone else that I was cheating on her (he knows that I despise cheating, and he knows that I know that he's had affairs). He began writing material that sounded exactly like mine. It made me really depressed for a while. I learned recently that most people should be kept at arms length. I tend to put too much emotional value and trust into my friendships. I'm not a "blamer" type of person, rather a "fixer" type person and when things go wrong, I try to make things right. But the most valuable lesson I've learned recently is: Sometimes it's not you, it's them. Sometimes people don't want things to be fixed, in fear of admitting that they've done something wrong. Why invest importance into people who abuse your investments?

Nice! Buying glasses online is a total shot in the dark, so thats good that they worked out. I'm weary about getting glasses online, but I really want a pair of these or in black And true, I have a pretty good Hipster-radar, and I think we'd be safe with the glasses; its not like we're getting them tattooed on our faces

Yes, my last pair broke. And my prescription has changed since I first got them four years ago. Time for something new. I like the thick plastic frames, and I'm sure I'll be labeled a hipster when i get them. I find it strange that something as mundane as a pair of glasses can greatly affect first impressions.

nice to meet you, Julia, and thanks. I love the glasses, and no, that doesn't make you a hipster. I'm about to get a pair myself.

lmao

indeed he is... indeed he is... *facepalm* Oh... I got it.... GUNTER! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FGobiydIUI&feature=fvst]Ding Dong Song[/ame]

That was great! I was thinking mid-way "This reminds me of Bjork" and lo and behold, she appeared.

lol. yes... yes he has...

took it upon myself to watch it. Wow. Thats all I can say. In another interview the guy starts out with "Morrissey, its wonderful to meet you" and Morrissey says "Why?"

a beer wench Karl Marx Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Welcome Maria! You'll notice quickly how much spirit this forum has. I've been to a lot of forums. but there's something different about this place that makes it more inviting, more connecting, and more memorable than any other forum. Its probably because of Coldplay, hah.

LOL! Thats actually quite true
