Bumpppp I think I finally came up with a name... What do you guys think of The Sound Collection?

Hi! I was your mixtape maker! I'm sorry that you didn't like the electronic music as much. I've been into it a bit lately and also wasn't really sure what kind of music you liked. So here was the tracklisting: So if you have any questions or want recommendations for any artists, just PM me! :)

looks like both weekends of Coachella sold out in like 3 hours, so I won't be going. Definitely wasn't anticipating that. at least maybe I can start planning for Lolla or Bonnaroo or ACL, and also Radiohead. Thanks for the tips though. I will try to fly this year somewhere.

I heard about this... how stupid. As if speaking French should decide whether or not you're suitable to be president. Of course there are some people that think that is a legit deciding factor though...:facepalm:

then i'm screwed D:

A lot of this tips have been helpful... thank you all! (though I'm still scared...hahaha)

To my mix tape maker I'm sorry I haven't gotten to reviewing yet I've been busy. I will listen to it today when I get home

I've known this for a while, but slowly I'm realizing more and more that I've wasted a lot of my time starting conversations w/ people who I thought were friends, who in turn don't reciprocate the communication effort...

*cough*slacker*cough*

okay. so what helped you not be so scared about it?

ahaha I know that! edit: I'm just pointing out how Bill has taken advantage of all of the extra flyer miles he gets. So we should follow as Bill does I guess?!?!

:lol: it depends who the flight attendant is I guess.... *bill clinton thumbwag*

A train ride would be way too long (like 3 Days each way) hahaha... what nick? :| yeah. I've thought about maybe taking a sleeping pill or something to help

ok... these have been good pieces of info. But what about advice? like what from your experiences what do you wish you knew about before flying for the first time?

yeah. I mean I know it's safer than any other means of flight. But living near NYC (where 9/11 happened), and also TWA Flight 800, and not being in control of the plane to me is scary.

hahaha... sorry but I'm not rich.

To be honest I really don't care about if my ears pop. I've heard about that but I'm used to that when getting to higher altitudes when driving. My concern is being stuck in the plane, being in the sky, and not escaping if something goes wrong. I know it sounds crazy, but I associate dying with trying to fly. Basically I want to overcome this fear. Not just for coachella, but I'd love to travel to like Europe and around the world.

I'm seriously considering going to Coachella Festival in California. But the only plausible way to go is by plane (unless I take a 3 day train ride each way). With all that I've worked I really feel I need a break and also the lineup is so good! So does anyone have any tips for me since I've never flown before? (I don't even know if I will go, but if I do I'd like to try to prepare myself)

Rich Aucoin next week. Then for up until like March Other Lives, Four Tet, Dr. Dog and Tycho

^yeah in the end they will still commit crimes. But at least I feel if there is some accountability, then hopefully it might limit some to make poor judgements in the future, and also I guess punish those that have done wrong.

My whole take on accountability is focused to the future. I mean what's done is done, the economy went bad because of bad decisions. I feel that if you have accountability then it will be a message and warning to future companies to not make the same mistakes and fuck things up.

i disagree. it's not even about the people (the citizens) in making things accountable. If you make companies accountable for their bad decisions and actions then in the future other companies will realize that them cutting corners will not pass and they will fail. It's like if you have a class full of children and they misbehave, if you show accountability of their bad actions by giving detention or whatever then I'm sure it will limit the amount the possibility for them to do it again. (i'm not for the death penalty btw. [/random comment])

Yeah. I mean I can understand and at the time I agreed that a bailout was a necessary option considering we might go into another and possible worse depression. Of course hindsight is 20-20, and looking back I'm not so sure it was a good idea from what I said of there being no accountability. I agree. There really doesn't seem to be any honest politicians around, and if it was anyone else it probably wouldn't be different. And that's the main issue! The people vote them in. Essentially we are their employers. They should be helping us out rather than these people who already have everything. I agree that the economy can't be 100% back to normal right away or in 4 years. What happened started w/ Clinton by letting banks give loans to people that could not afford them. I guess what angers me most about Obama in relation to the economy is that he spent so much of his time focusing and forcing to get health-care passed in this country when the economy and jobs should've been the #1 issue at hand. Does health-care need to be reformed? Of course... but get the economy working again. If anything I blame Congress most of all, with their stupid fucking games they play to make one party more popular than the next. Work together, and get things done that will better the entire country!

I understand what you are saying, in that there is a lot to the economy and how it works and it's almost impossible to predict or control. The way I see it is if you help out these big businesses by bailing them out then how are you teaching them a lesson to not do it again? Especially considering how neither Bush or Obama had any accountability by having full on investigation or getting these people fired. To me it doesn't seem fair at all to essentially let these people get away with what they did w/o being brought to justice. It's like if for example I made poor financial choices, and maxed out my credit card and bought things I couldn't afford which lead me to bankruptcy, why should I be allowed to be helped out by someone else? From a personal standpoint it seems irresponsible and not ethical to help out these people, when considering that multi-million bonuses are still being given to these rich CEO's that partially tanked the economy. There needs to be accountability, end of story.
