it was actually a sort of inside joke for u2, bono insists alcohol was involved. It's not like they went through the whole recording and release thinking that catorce meant 4.

we waited for like 20 minutes, and a bunch of people were already there. sorry.

SAWA! GIT IN HEA!

I must of bumped the official fail thread (now in lounge games) fifty times...

Hey, I've been asked by my parents to do watch something tonight, so I might come in late. :edit: now it's looking like I'll be here after all...

All or any of those would be good. I'm no completely sold on Teen Dream yet, but that could be all the more reason to discuss it. Out of all those, either of the national albums would be my fave.

Radiohead vs. Sigur Ros

That wasn't too bad.

I think it's a fine thread. Of course, the term 'unique' more accurately refers to 'one-of-a-kind' which is a tall order to fill since I could you give you a thousand of my attributes and there'd still be tens of thousands of people in the world who match up. Another interpretation would be to ask: how has your existence made a dent in the world that couldn't have occurred without you? The easiest way to distinguish or (if you feel this is important) justify one's existence is to create something that's not just unique, but also of value. (having children is an act of creation, but it would be absurd, circular and primitive to call mere reproduction an act of value because the value of that creation corresponds with the good that comes about from those children, and so on.) Everybody exists, but only an artist brings a particular song or painting into existence. Obviously this corresponds with medicine, business, sports, etc. as well. Standing out by doing something that no one else has done. By extension, the creator is unique because only they created or brought about that particular thing of value. If you wanna wax existential, you could say you are nothing more than the sum of those individuating actions, or that you are nothing until you do something meaningful of your own volition. Now that I've filled this thread with a bunch of pretentious cliche BS, I can't say that am unique by virtue of anything I've done. I've recorded music and written papers n' shit, but none of it has been anything of real interest, and I sometimes feel that I listen to music and read books avidly so that I can deliver myself from the responsibility of feeling that I have something of substance to contribute, but more often I just get insecure in the long run, and go on expressing myself through other people's work. At the same time though, I feel I have a lot of potential that just hasn't found the right medium to work in. I stand out from my peers in that I don't find resolve in religion or solidarity, but am both attracted to and repelled by the isolation and unease that I go through in college. I embrace it because I know I'm living somewhat authenticly. That doesn't make me unique or anything obviously. Best most people can do is list skills and interests. I like philosophy, I'm pretty good at english and history, I play music all the time, I particularly like ambient post-rock, I'm quiet and have an accent that people are always asking about.

Air - Moon Safari Battles - Mirrored Hammock - The Sleepover Series Vol. 1

Not a buzz kill, just a different kind of buzz.

I'm game.

You missed my point. Obviously they're not a post-rock band. I meant within the context of their various albums and sounds: parachutes early indie-rock sound vs. U2-ishness of AROBTTH etc.. Indanomati presumed there was a time when coldplay were the 'most' coldplay, and I rejected the premise.

didn't say anything contrary.

it's 2:10 am here now. midnight or before would be okay though.

my bad, dawg (always sucked at math guestimations)

haha, that's alright. 2 actually should be fine.

I possibly won't be home by then. Though an earlier time like that would jive better with da europeans and aussies.

I'll be home and available all of tomorrow evening. Suburbs sounds good btw. *gasp!* *quickly uses Men In Black thing to forget Mew fangirls*

Chris likes Múm, independent of the pretentious spirit of a developing indie snob who wanted Chris to like Múm.

Seriously though, this is a really good idea. Just start pitching some albums that people would be interested in. Generally bands with a large audience in the lounge like Metric, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire, Beatles etc.
