This bears repeating. I am as sick of complaints about us not talking music anymore, so read it and weep, or just weep. Because apparently there is no pleasing everybody. (Even me, that's why I started a thread about being mad about people being mad about the fact that we don't talk about music, even though they are wrong.) Please pay particular attention to the parts in ALL CAPS. It is good advice many of you should follow.

Here's the thing, if you can't find out about new music on this board, you need to go down to a pawn shop, buy a gun, put it in your mouth, and pull the fucking trigger, because you are too GoT DAMN STUPID to contribute ANYTHING TO YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY OR SOCIETY.

In the past three weeks I have downloaded at least 15 albums of bands and mixes and stuff that I WOULD NEVER HAVE HEARD OF ANYWHERE ELSE. Radcliffe and Billzebub alone know more music groups, genres and etc...that I like than i would ever have been able to discover through traditional resources or media. I put up three or four music threads last week about kick ass bands I was curious about, and within a day Dalen YSI'd me one of the albums i was curious about. If you want to know something about ANY group, big or small, known or unkown, mongerous or wuss rock...SOMEONE will know them ,and make it available to you. Fuck I think I typed half a page about the downfall of Wilco, Radiohead and OUtkast last week...so there's music all over this mutherfucker.

Oh, and one last thing to keep in mind: These are the Golden Years. Get busy livin or get busy dyin.

Yawn...another boring thread not about music.

Nice promo Dave.

You need a beer. Stop being so cranky.

"glory days... they'll pass you by"

That ol' boy I work for is gone, and I just cracked a tall boy, but you are right.

It just seems that in every thread, somebody comes in to bitch about the content.

i mean, they have that right, it just gets older with each passing day. (Kinda like my attitude to some of y'all I guess, but Jebus.) Start amusic thread if its that fucking serious.

cheers. thursday work beers are the BEST. and I'm pretty sure I start more movie threads than I do music threads.

Attention whore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers back at ya brotha. I am about to go outside, where it is 72 and beautiful and look at the lake, and drinka beer, and maybe read...or maybe just fucking sit there and think about music

fuck 'em. there's this button called DELETE... well, not on a post, but mentally i have a delete button and if someone annoys me with a post or thread or bitches, i just mentally block em out. we all have our moments, ya know?

pass that tall boy over here!

i got confused for a second there.

Yeah, I'm going to go plant the last of my new trees (a nuttall oak--funny name, eh?) while the new kings of leon cranks on the Redlands outdoor speakers. B/C in a thread I mentioned I didnt have it. I drove home from work and someone sent it to me. Because we don't talk about music here

Big ups Dump Jack.

Sacrifice.

right back at 'cha.

Best post of the day

I was going to refrain from this thread (though I agree w/ the Hon. Sen. to a degree), but I wanted to acknowledge the Springsteen in this post.

Long Live The Boss - Forever might he reign.

Did I miss a memo or a meeting? Are there MORE "there's nothing about music" whining that I missed?

It's in every thread. Even threads ABOUT music.

Dave, I've never thought of you as being hypersensitive, but...don't ya feel you're being so in this case? Cuz the only person I really see bringing it up is you. I seriously thought it was a dead issue.

In my lifetime with the CMJ/Obner crew, I've learned that people are ALWAYS gonna find something to bitch about. Who fuckin' cares? If you're gonna complain about something, let's complain how some of us create a fuckin' list for EVERYTHING!! How the hell do they do that? You want me to create a list of what now? A Top 50 CD List of Artists You Wish Your Mother Listened To! Ohhh yeah, lemme get right on it. What's funny is that someone probably HAS that list already to post!! Shit, I can't even create an Excel spreadsheet of all the albums I have, yet, there are people on this board who've practically created software to maintain that shit!!! (No offense to you listmakers, I still love ya.)

Dave, I think you need a hug, dammit. Let's go drink Guinness at your dad's pad, ok? Oh wait, I've given up alcohol for a couple of months..shit.

Tania, that post will definitely make my list of the Top 50 Promos Cut on People on Obner in 2005......

Yeah, but at what ranking? Cuz you know it's ALL about the ranking.

I do agree, though, that this board is a wonderful resource for new music and a great place to ask questions about bands or genres that you are not experienced with. I think that's why I come back as much as I do. It never fails that when I post a question about some random person or artist I have never heard of that someone knows something about them and is willing to answer despite any personality/worldview disagreements in religion threads or politics threads. That's what I like about it. People can get mad and rant in NMR threads and hate each other but in the same posting session can agree or even help someone they despise out. haha.

For instance, I think Chase hates me. However, if that's the case, I still believe that he would answer a question of mine about a band he loves. Even if that's not true, I choose to believe it is. So there.

Also, half of this board actually know each other it seems. That being the case, I think it lends itself to topics that are not always music related. It's a message board plain and simple. Context Nazis can burn themselves alive if they don't like it.

Well, No Crap it's over the top, Tania, it's ME I am the self appointed rabble rouser in these parts

I'll take a hug, and drink some Guinness though. I just think it is funny that we spend as much time talking about what we do or don't talk about as we do talking about whatever that is.

The unexamined life is boring, though.
