Lying
by Guest Etch- 22 replies
- 1.9k views
Today I told a lie to get out of work. I did it because I had to. I don't like to lie, especially to nice people. (The people I work with are nice people) But it was necessary. I don't lie much but I do know that I am exceptionally good at it. I always have been. I can dream up convincing excuses on the spot and they have never backfired on me, I never panic, my responses are calculated and I never falter or contradict. One of the reasons I avoid lying is because I know I will get away with it, or worse, have to maintain it for a long time. It is something I always feel bad about doing, later I will feel worse, then it will subside. So who lies here? Has lied? …

i'm trying to write some 'alt-country'/'country post-rock' and would like to hear some similar stuff before i go and record something that just sounds like a terrible pastiche of the genre. if that makes sense? basically it all is centered around me buying this new guitar last week: whenever i pick it up i can't help but play sad sounding slow country songs, hahah. so yes watm, please help me out. i've got no knowledge of this 'alt-country', all i know is the 'real' old country music, heh.

there has been a certain stray cat that has been freakin' out the neighbors and myself in the past couple of weeks. said cat looks as if it's hind legs are paralyzed since it crawled around on it's front legs. i took a closer grossed out look at this cat about a week ago and the aft half of it's body looked as if it's been crushed, probably got ran over or something, and i immediately turned around and fealt like gagging. well, last weekend a neighbor said it crawled off into the gutter and haven't been seen since. today, my son liam was riding his bike and there was a wind that came from the direction of the gutter and it was the smell of rotting animal. there are also t…

Patsy Cline: Best Country Singer Who Ever Lived 1 2
by Guest Iain C- 30 replies
- 2.6k views
Let's talk about Country music for just a second. Now, country music gets a bad reputation from the narrow-minded worlds of rock, pop and dance music - this is largely posturing, so leave your preconceptions at the door. Come on, give them to me. Thanks. Now you can keep reading. Or rather, keep listening, because this thread is about singer Patsy Cline. Patsy was beautiful, she was talented, and she died in a plane crash aged just 30 years old. Tragically unfair - people go on and on about Jim Morrisson, Kurt Cobain, even Buddy Holly, and how they were stolen from us before their time. But you rarely hear anyone talk about Patsy Cline these days. It's a real shame, …

i liked the novel, sort of. but this was absolutely horrendous. ellis' writing has always been kind of tedious and affected, since he basically just writes about zombie kids who possess no personality and his satire always seems to fall flat. but wow, take maybe his second worst novel really seriously, cast a lot of has beens in lead roles and then glam it up in the most obvious 80s throwback possible and you have the worst movie of the year.

Why, exactly, WAS Beneboi banned? 1 2
by Guest Wall Bird- 48 replies
- 3.2k views
So I'm well aware of Ward's thread about the death of his friend. I've looked it over a few times and tried to read between the lines and I've come to the conclusion that his punishment exceeded the scale of his actual deed. Thinking back to other members who have been banned, they did things that were far worse such as hacking other people's servers, writing unstable scripts, revealing someone's identity, etc... I just don't think Beneboi's actions were sufficiently offensive enough to warrant his permanent removal. Is there a precedent for bannings like this? I'm likely forgetting other reasons people have been banned in the past. Because of this I think Joyrex sho…

I actually like it, although I haven't poked around too much. http://warp.net/ it's actually very well done (and a new BoC logo on their page) The player in the lower left is a very nice touch! Dare I say, "Warp is back?"

Well I had been saving up this money for a Gold ring, but I have decided after much deliberation that I no longer want or need it and have enough Gold jewellery as it is. So come on guys, what shall I do with this money that's productive? Nothing to do with computer or computer games because I have all I want in that dapartment already, I joined the gym yesterday so thats all paid up too, I am going down the pool club for some practice in a minue, thats going to cost me like £10, and the rest is mine to do with as I please. I also have all I want or need in the line of clothes/shoes etc, so thats a no need also :).
