NO. :snobby:

^ She was meaning use .rar files instead of .zip files. You can't make .rar files without a program like Winrar.

Oh, that's what you meant. Well, the way I see it, I think it's up to Dom whether Matt's discussion on the topic is out of line, and given how chummy they are, I'm sure Dom wouldn't be afraid to point it out to Matt if he thought Matt was being rude. I will admit, though, that there are times when Matt seems a bit snobby. It's not all the time, but it comes off every so often. I think that's part of why I converted to being a Chris girl, honestly.

^^ Psh, so? Your mom can dislike him if she wants. Not that it's right thinking that with the very limited amount of stuff she knows about him, but she can, if she wants to. ^ There's nothing wrong with being "off," so long as it isn't the wrong way. (e.g. Grammy award acceptance speech. MOST AWKWARD ACCEPTANCE SPEECH EVER.)

Actually, I'd have the tendency to agree with your mom. I honestly don't see the point of smashing perfectly functioning instruments. It's a waste of money.

^^ That, too.

You should put your song choices in a playlist. That way, your songs are all in one place.

^ That's one of the main things Muse taught me: Don't worry about what other people think. :dazzled:

You can't? Imagine what I'm doing over here. I spazzed so hard.

The shorts are yellow (and, therefore, are ugly, IMHO). D: If it makes you feel any better, I did get a laugh out of it, and I do think Dom is the biggest goober of Muse.

^ Cults! :cheesy: Excellent choice.

Be careful when you're posting them. I'm still trying to get over the one Kelly posted. (Have you seen his legs? I AM DYING OVER HERE.) Having said that, I (and everyone else, I'm sure) would LOVE to see them. :wacky:

The deadline here is 5 pm. You're 6 hours ahead (I think), so you have until 11 pm tomorrow night (in England) to get it to me. If you send it in your tomorrow afternoon, you should be just fine. :nice:

That I don't like. I appreciate instruments too much to see them needlessly destroyed. D: Nope, not me. :tongue: OMIGAWDASKDFHSKDANFLAKSDNFHDAJESRASDOFKSDANGJKAWENRGKSDNFBKSANDFKGJASDFKGASDKFASDLKFASDLKHFLASDHFOSDHBPINSADFPIASAHGBAAGSFBOASJDBFABSDSFBOASDJBFOJDASBFJOASDNFKASDMFOSADKMFOSKDMFOASDMFOASDM BRB, dying of Wolstenass overload. :dead:

When I got on CPing this morning, I had 9 more tapes in my inbox. :stunned: :lol: Anyway, thank you for having your tapes in already (those who have done so). I only need 15 more tapes (technically, 14, as one of the missing tapes is mine...*ahem*). You still have 31 hours to send in your tape if you haven't done so already. Don't feel compelled to rush your tape. Take as much of that time as you need. :nice:

I have about half of your tapes now. You have less than 44 hours to finish and submit your tapes to me. If anyone runs into any snags that may cause you to turn your tape in late or not have a tape at all, please talk to me so I know what to expect/can make arrangements.

Really? I thought you loved him for his mad musical skillz and his endearingly meerkat-like physicality.

Well, look at you, being prepared. :D :awesome: It's fine. You can re-upload it and send it to me later. You still have the entire weekend and a good chunk of Monday to finish.

Maybe. I'll try that. Don't kill me if I don't like it, though. I'm insanely picky when it comes to live music. Yes, I did say that. Later in that thread, however, I also mentioned that I really liked (which would later turn into love) "Love Cry" by Four Tet. That still kinda confuses me, given that it's also repetitive, but for some reason, it's highly catchy, and I'm very fond of it. I kinda have to go on a case-by-case basis, y'know. GBut yeah, I don't listen to electronic as much as other things. Maybe it's because electronic music tends to be repetitive? Actually, yeah, probably. In my case, I guess it has to be done a certain way, or I won't like it. I'm weird like that. :shrug: Oh, really? Huh. I actually like Thom's vocals on that, but it's whatever.

He's still at Lolla. They have another day of gigs before he comes back.

It has nothing to do with it being electronic. It's more that I'm not a fan of things that, to me, sound overly repetitive, which "Kid A" is in many respects. That's what I was meaning by that bass line comment eariler; I really don't want to hear the same 4-bar line for 5 minutes straight. It's minimalistic in nature, particularly pertaining to lyrics (There are 19 different words total in "The National Anthem," if I recall correctly). While there are certain parts of minimalism I can learn to appreciate over time, it's something I've never been very keen on. With that being said, there are things I do like about "Kid A." "Everything In Its Right Place" makes me feel very content when listening to it, "Idioteque" makes me wanna dance, and "Motion Picture Soundtrack" is gorgeous. :heart: To be honest, I don't really think of albums that way, and I never have. I tend to judge them based on individual songs as opposed to how it works as a whole. I guess I've never really understood the point of doing that unless it was explicitly stated that it was a concept album of some sort. :shrug: Anyway. Second paragraph. Different people have different opinions. I was actually quite disgusted with it at first listen, and I only decided to give it another shot after several of you guys insisted on it. While I'll gladly admit my first impression was more harsh than it should have been, it just doesn't reach me like the other albums do. I guess, in my own way of viewing it, I feel disconnected. I can't really explain what I mean by that in words. As far as their originality is concerned, I'll only agree in the sense that concepts they used were foreign to popular music before they did it. Contemporary classical composers have written stuff using similar methods for years, in the time before any of Radiohead's members were even born. I really didn't mean for my comment to turn out into a debate, and I'm sincerely not trying to be mean when I say the things I say. I'm just trying to explain my thoughts in the best way I know how.

We don't know. The mods are keeping it private.

I DON'T. D:

I can't believe I inspired a Crests thread. HAHAHA. :wacky: Anyway, I tend to capitalize, unless it's something I feel is particularly important, in which case I bold things. As I mentioned to Tammi in the other thread, I'm not a fan of italics.

^ I'm jealous of people like you who can make a mixtape that quickly. I usually take almost the entire time allotted. It doesn't help that this time around, I'm also running the exchange, and I'm in the process of making two other mixtapes outside the exchange. :uhoh: :bigcry:
