  1. It doesn't matter if you are already in a band, this is pretend. It is fantasy Sunday. My band name - "Tomorrow is Today". My first release - "Making God Cry" Go forth, young skanks.
  2. While I dig the individual tracks, is there any chance of getting the links to the full mixes back up and running? (The ones that were on zshare are now throwing 404 - file not found errors)
  3. Decisions, decisions (so crack a bottle, let your body waddle .. don't act like a snobby model - you just hit the lotto .. uh oh uh oh, bitches hopping in my Tahoe .. got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got gloves) Leaning elm-wise, if only because it is walking distance.
  4. One of them is at the Elm, which is closer, so more attractive to me. But which, in your estimation, is the better show to see?
  5. Why am I doing this? I don't know. There was talk of french, elevators, wrong forums, and this whole thread already went well off the rails anyways. I need sleep.
  6. Agreed, avoid the Carleton under those circumstances. If you follow Northern Wishes' advice to kick around the market, you might want to check out the Laff (Chateau-Lafayette) which is just across from The Dom. Ottawa's oldest bar and sometimes you can score for some good music there. I know you are looking for something tonight, but if you can squeeze in tomorrow afternoon, you'll catch Lucky Ron who is an Ottawa staple.
  7. 'Look what I found - a litter version of the internet! This used to be something that could convert carbon dioxide into oxygen using only sunlight, water, and a few nutrients -- but now it's way cooler - it has two functions: you can either put little words on it, or crumple it up into a tiny ball and throw it!' buppa-bonnet buppa-bonnet buppa-bonnet-de-la-douche
  8. Hmm .. maybe, but probably not. I never had it in my curricula, so my perspective on it is probably quite different. My soft spot for that book is .. well .. pretty soft.
  9. Holy crap, Apple managed to provoke philosophical debates all over the place with this one product release. RE: calculators and 'dependency' on technology - my own strengths lie somewhere outside of numbers. If I can create a tool - or receive benefit from the tools created through the brilliance of others - that will allow me to exploit my strengths and put tools to service to hasten that endeavor, I am all for it. Many people can wrestle numbers to the ground in no time -- I can not. I am as happy to use a calculator as I would be happy to use a spear to kill a wild boar for food. Sure, I could try to do it without the weapon and take it on with my hands, but I am clever enough to have a tool. It's what humans have always been doing. I could constantly badger someone who is good at numbers, but why, when I can make use of a tool created through our collective ingenuity? I'd also make use of a walking stick, a cane, or a crutch for a bum leg (though, let's not kid ourselves, I'd obviously pimp it out) to give support to an existing weakness. Tools rock. Humans are really good at making and finding novel uses for tools. Jesus, it's 2010 and we are arguing about calculators. All that said, I think the Luddites get a bad rap. Their grievances were legitimate.
  10. Apparently he continued to be very prolific during his seclusion and instructed his daughter that his work could be released posthumously.
  11. 1 Chug for any occurrence of the word 'epic' 1 Chug for any occurrence of the word 'heady' (but note that in the case of 'heady vibes' this is superseded by larry_llamas rule) Bonus chug for any reference to 'Heady Epic', for a total of 3.
  12. Congrats Sean! Cheers dude.
  13. Sort of. The lines are getting blurred. In my defense, there was - once upon a time - a musical bent to this board, so it seemed like a good place to ask. Plus, I'd recalled that there was a long thread about said movie here back when it was released, which is how I'd learned of it in the first place. So
  14. I've always said about Naked Lunch that there is no point in trying to read it from cover to cover. My copy wandered away many, many years ago but I always really enjoyed it. When in the right mood, just flip it open to some page and start reading. Flip around and don't feel you need to be disciplined about it. Hell, the thing was hastily thrown together from various bits of prose anyways. It's the kind of thing that is good for subway or bus rides -- when you don't really have time to get fully engaged, but have time to kill. (Of course, the Nintendo DS is good for this, as well )
  15. http://www.oldtiredskanks.ca http://www.whenthepartystops.ca Certainly not.
  16. Answered my own question -- I just had to outsmart Google.
  17. You are all a very helpful lot. Thanks
  18. You know .. it is a couple who have this band .. and in real life they have a band. It's sort of a romantic comedy kind of affair, IIRC. And the music is swell.
