  1. Pot laced with heroin? jesus. What's the pot for when you have heroin? Garnish?
  2. I'm thinking about NYE in Victoria for Gratefully Deadicated. Garaj is a 2 nighter, starting the night before. I've never seen 'em and people always try to play me snippets to impress me (thanks keither) but it's usually the times that come AFTER the wow moment that go under the radar...and if those moments don't do it for me I don't want to turn into an irritated belligerant cunt.
  3. what?? I hope I know people that are going to be there. Right now my options are a bit confusing. I was thinking of going to a private party but it's formal and i'll only know a few people I haven't seen pretty much hide or hair of since the summer...and I don't really jive super well with most of them I was also thinking of going to see garaj, but still would rather look at other options.
  4. Jam Band headquarters? Don't you want to make a WISE investment?
  5. Umphrrey's counts?? my bad.
  6. I'm curious as well. I've yet to hear a jamband that transcends the label. Pnuma was described to me as a live electronic act and I'd expressed the same to a few people before hearing them and regret not looking into it. I'm not into lying to my friends. Good show, but it was here in Vancouver so I can only imagine how hard they'd rip in vermont or toronto. Still. Jamband. I don't want to think that the New Deal were an anomaly. Any extended alt.country? Retro guitar pop? Ambient trance? Organic Booty? I love the musicianship but not the immediate feel of 'jamband'. Any time I stop and think about something aside from the moment it is a distraction and even the most jarring cacophanic sounds can keep me in the moment. I find it interesting that what I used to love about Jams (getting lost in the moment) rarely happens anymore because i crave music that can hold onto me.
  7. I think it's curious how most of you had MET but only a few of you claim to actually KNOW recognizable names. I do dig the photos, but still very few admit to KNOWing... nice touch, Velvet. I think it's rad that Bob knows your number. that's close if not bang on. (hey...i just slag SCI without listening to them anymore. I don't claim to KNOW anybody more famous other Mary and even then we're not tiiight)
  8. Hamilton just made the same comment I was going to. I thik that a band of cute nobodies surfing a big banana wave of Exclaim hype deserves to be taken down a notch. Bands like that need somethng to prove. Right now they just serve to prove they're out to be temporarily cool and nothing more.
  9. If my girl hears about all those technicolor bitches I've been gettin' busy with she'd cut my balls off. no star trek stories on here please.
  10. fuck, NewRider. you read my mind.
  11. now think about THAT and then think about my bloated, self-serving posts juxtaposed with the morsels of relevance...and the parties I've gone to and the things I do and the job I have and the fact that I'm far far away...and that Hux has come out here twice on political business... ...and then you'll think I'm onto something and it would be the beginning of a great made for TV movie about a disc golfer gone mad. you'd give disc golfers a really bad name and who'd have ever thought about writing about that and THAT would then be a cause for alarm for the new anti spam bots we would have to create to block unwanted advertising from getting to us. < I have a strange craving for watermelon slim and the worker right now... < somebody get that to Tom Robbins.
  12. Came back to apologize for my 'one bloat versus fifteen little jabs' comment Not to suggest that what I have to say is necessarily more important to anybody other than myself. and Dima...thanks but there's more than nice in these brains. I'm glad that I can work it out without everybody watching/noticing so much (unless you're all being sweet to me). My best from the west.
  13. It's true in one sense, but they rely on the rest of the world for the materials that make those goods. the company I work for imports a huge amount of chinese made goods. We just won a BC export award. It's cheaper for a guy in the UK to come to us and get our product shiped from china to the United States and then to England than getting local or even continental goods. If I publically post my personal views and a possibly alternative line of business in this thread with what I just posted I could lose my job someday. I think I just said goodbye to a lucrative future promotion. On a similar note, I believe that with the proper incentives, we could build CANADIAN industry and design to where it really should be. We're definitely among the smartest people in the world and have a lot of potential that we're whoring out to bidders that don't always even bid the highest. thinking about something that was said in another post...so much volume and not enough care.
  14. I'm glad you're flinging poo around like a drunk monkey. it's less smelly in here.
  15. Thanks for all the love y'all! I've had a really strange week and sometimes I forget about all the people that I cherish and miss dearly. I could go on about my Scottieking, and boogieknight love just for starters, but I think the love that's more pressing is my number love. I love my phone number. It's so easy to dial. It being posted has actually come in handy. Anybody can call somebody else, tell them to get online and get my phone number if you lose or forget my number and are out and about trying to find me. I understand that a thread is not a real, in person conversation - but just because it takes a few more seconds to read the ridiculous crap I write, you may forget that there are fifteen posts that (although to the point and forward moving) don't often say anything more useful than what I had written. I'm not trying to prop myself up or tear anybody down...but it's something to consider. A bit verbose (literally) at times I am the first to admit. Flowery? Maybe that's how I'm hippified... It WAS me and I I don't generally have to point out the things that you (luke/zero) blatantly state to prove your points. I liked that thread though. You're a spirited writer and that's why i checked out stillepost again. I'm not new to that board though so 'followed' is really a misnomer. True - i write a fair bit but I also don't write in as many threads as the lot of you hardcores tend to. so...one big post or fifteen little ones that have the same content but don't always make a point? Thanks for admitting that i have something useful to say though Luke. If there IS one thing I must point out that has some impact here it's to Paisley "... to shift from the materialistic, dualistic belief that people and their environment are separate, toward a new conciousness of an all-encompassing reality, which embraces the experiencing ego, a reality in which people feel their oneness with animate nature and all of creation." is not a complete thought and takes away from the impact of the quote. Maybe you were trying to fuck me up but I doubt it. to shift from this reality...is what? or...what...to shift from this reality? All this talk about needing an editor, the one that would really appreciate editing right this very moment is myself. I do like what I think you're getting at though. That would really save us from our own demise.
  16. Curious that 'chops' come up...SCI have 'chops'. I don't think THAT is the issue. SCI will not be remembered as an important musical group. Popular maybe. Successful, definitely. Amazing? well i am sure lots of people are amazed at Cheese shows. I hope they prove me wrong. I still wish I could have done what they do.
  17. I hope I can resist the urge to sit at home and sulk. Garaj Mahal should be a great 2 nighter.
  18. If we're talking about commercialized music, the greats definitely had more of a shot at it years gone by. This is a documentary aimed at the masses, not people that actually follow subversive artists (and know how much the music industry continues to make for itself with or without radio and television). Looks like it's going to raise a bunch of eyebrows.
  19. we could all use a fantastic Hummer. too bad the current models just plainly blow.
  20. Woo Hoo! Beats beats MarcO!!! 2 places and 8 days unless I am member # 47 or 49...but I think it's a 52. Who am I kidding. I'll never beat MarcO.
  21. Actualy, I CAN smell it. How Did you forget?
  22. I cherish the informed discussion that I've bastardized for longer than all but about 50 people on this board. Just remember: follow the instructions below.
  23. Hear here! It's time for the stodgies to sit down and have an genuine discussion about drugs and driving.
  24. I'm listening to the Rapture's latest record, Pieces of the people we Love. If Talking Heads had any lasting impact on the music scene it's been taken up by the Rapture. The only camp is in the keys and even then it's a dance party.
