People here seem to be douchebags in general. Rampant elitism, a paradoxical conformity towards a stereotypical hatred of popular culture, not to mention an overabundance of internet dick swinging competitions. Well, this seems as good a time as any to check out. Its been fun The Escapist...

Can't forget this one.

Great fucking band. I used to love them. Though I I've since moved on to other stuff, I still enjoy a good Zep session every now and then. Some great (seemingly lesser known) Zep stuff. I'll always be thankful for this band motivating me to start playing guitar.

An interesting way to look at the problem is with reference to the last Canadian election. Lowest voter turnout in history, I think it was around 55 percent. On its own this is a bit embarrassing, though it has disturbing implications about our leaders. The current party in power, the...

Rock: Modest Mouse The Strokes Queens of the Stone Age Kings of Leon Folk: Iron & Wine Fleet Foxes Elliott Smith Bon Iver Other slightly hard to classify stuff: Radiohead Broken Social Scene TV on the Radio MGMT All good stuff. My favorite song right now...

You sound like you want some Elliott Smith. Weird folk rock dude who killed himself a couple of years ago. Writes very haunting music. All of it is good, so just look around at his stuff. I'll start you off with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tsLfPsYOXQ

This is a great time to be a folk rock fan, there's been tons of great music coming out recently. Some good folky stuff: Iron and Wine: Peace Beneath the City http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-7YI_djpIU&feature=related Bon Iver: Skinny Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrMmr1oMPGA...

"It was like that when I got here" Who knew that when you arrange such plain words in such a way that it would make something so beautiful.

As someone who has done a fair amount of drugs... not really. The most I've gotten is a feeling of uncomfortable slowness, similar to what you get from those extra strength painkillers like Tylenol with codeine. Even then, that was probably because I had been sitting around for bloody hours...

A couple days ago there was a thread on the front page questioning why metal was the most popular genre on these forums. I gave it a good skim, and it seemed like the prevailing opinion was that metal was popular among video gamers because it seems outside the mainstream, as well as the high...

As a gamer and a guitarist, I have never gotten into metal. I honestly think that to like music it has to "click" with some part of you. I've listened to a fair amount of it (one of my roommates loved the bloody stuff), and the sound just grates on me. As a guitar player that kind of playing...

"Yes, because I like getting stoned." I have no qualms about my choices in life. Leave me alone and I will leave you alone.

Probably Apocalypse Now. I watched it first sober, and then later on when I was high. Completely different experience, though I enjoyed it both times.

Recently got into Tokyo Police Club, a Canadian band. They remind me of the Strokes, they play a lot of high energy rock stuff.
