I was drunk at the time. It's like I jumped onto a wrecking ball and forgot about the "do not operate heavy machinery" warning.

this place is also the graveyard of a certain type of generation x attitude that is long past its sell by date and only brings misery to the sad fuckers who try to keep it up as their worldview because it is long obsolete and now just purely conservative. but you do get a certain connection here with what is new in the underground at a level of dedication and obscurity that is unusual for such a mainstream band. the likes of dj rick and nyoukis etc. who occasionaly post here, cooley's 100 strong best of the year lists. stuff like that makes it worthwhile but there is so little of it and so much of the same old bands we all know and don't get anything new out of anymore.

i want to leave but it just keeps sucking me back in with it's pointless and quick oppurtunity for attention. i wish i knew some other better board.

The biggest threat to music today is the amount of bored, opinionated for nothing fuckwits who poison everything and open their mouths before they've even listened to a band. Like somebody once posted on another forum, I am looking forward to everybody hating everything.

they all have myspaces with songs on, i think (except mayyors but there's youtube and stuff too), and are pretty much cut from the same type of cloth as your favourite Tounch n' Go/Am Rep type bands
