...you feel the need to function in your own body and to not give in to the controlling, greedy dumbasses that are most of america's musical embodiment.

which is why homo sapiens like us gotta keep the real sh*t going. if only there were more people that thought what a lot of "us" think, the alternitive music scene would be so much better. you know that song "crawling in the dark" by hoobastank (emphasis on the "stank")? they already sold their song to a f*cking pepsi commercial or something. they're in it for the money, not the music. plus, their lead singer sounds just like brandon boyd, from incubus.

Yeah, he does. They went on tour together this year, I had to work it @ Arco Arena in Sacramento. Actually, to me they sounded a little edgier than Incubus, but Incubus is more melodic. It was kinda boring, though, but I was kinda sleepy that night anyway.
The music industry does suck, though. The thing that really sucks is that if they started playing bands like Sparta or TMV on the radio and MTV, they'd be just as heavily marketed, whether they liked it or not, and there'd be the fans that'd stay true to the band, and there'd be those who'd buy into the hype, where, regardless if the band is really awesome or not, they're just looking for the next "cool" thing. Look at what happened with the Alt-Rock Revolution with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden. All that music turned into something it wasn't, and a lot of people missed the point.

Arco Arena in Sacramento, home of the Sacramento :choke: Kings. Yeah, I think Tool's playing there soon, if you're into that. Personally, I haven't heard a lot of Tool's work. I went out and bought A Perfect Circle's album, and I liked it, but it didn't really gel the way I had hoped it would. Plus, Maynard's guest appearance on "Passenger" with Chino on Deftones' White Pony album was great too. My sis is really into Tool, I just haven't had the exposure, I guess.

since the RIAA killed my baby named AG (audiogalaxy..over 5000mb of music it has served me), i feel the need to avenge AG. what ways can we hurt the RIAA? download all our musical needs...any thing else?

the only way to escape from their power is to share files on the internet and burn cds, but on the other hand, this practice doesnt give any benefit to the artist, so we're kinda fucked.

i suppose the artists and the smaller record companies should boycott the RIAA, more than us customers

I'm a Lakers fan too, and I live about half an hour out of Sac, so this place was filled to the brim with Kings fans. It was f|_|ckn' sickening. It all culminated with Game 5 when my girlfriends' mom, a huge Lakers fan who had to deal with Kings fans trashtalking at work, threw a barbecue for Memorial day. Well, two of our friends come over, dressed in their purple and silver, and talked trash from the minute my girlfriends' mom came into the door from the store the whole rest of the game. They were talking mad trash as if the Kings were the greatest thing to ever grace God's earth, and that it was an insult they should have to face the lowly, not even this year's division champions Lakers. One of them even had the nerve to say that all the Lakers had was luck. I replied "See those banners in the rafters? That ain't luck. By the way, how many do they have in Arco?" They shut up real quick when Horry hit the three. Anyway, the Kings-Lakers series was a high point for me since I moved to NorCal. They STILL haven't gotten over it, they took the Shaq Pack ad off the Burger King here after the Lakers beat 'em. People boycotting McDonalds, Sprite, and Burger King... madness

thats some funny s.h.i.t. merc
i recently moved out here in fresno, ca. and everybody and their mother is a kings fan. i guess they hate l.a. out here. but you straight up live in occupied, enemy territory. they're boycotting micky d's cuz of those laker watches right?
the kings are a good team, it's just they choke at the end of it. 3 years in a row hahahah. you know what, the kings-lakers series was funner to watch than the actual nba final with the nets.

all weekend i was trying to get on this messageboard but it was showing a "forbidden" page. iwas not able to get on this pinchi board for s.h.i.t. i thought i was banned from this board or something. i thought you guys voted me out and s.h.i.t. i was e-mailing joe like 3 times asking him what was the deal....sorry joe!

Yeah, it does feel like enemy territory sometimes. It feels like I'm living in the evil empire or something, except for football, since I'm a Raiders fan. In baseball season, I'm a Dodgers fan, and sometimes Angels, so it sucks living in Giants country... no SoCal love from the locals here. And the Kings Lakers series was better than any series since the Blazers-Lakers series in 2000. Some people were boycotting McDonalds for the Kobe commercial, boycotting Burger King for the Shaq Pack thing, and boycotting Sprite for the Kobe commercial. wah wah waah.
Sucks to get locked out of the message page... I've gotten accidentally banned on another board before. You start to wonder why and stuff, I'm just paranoid like that (no pun intended).

Sometimes, drunk guys with guns in the wilderness is as good as humor gets, heh. I used to hunt, but I found it wasteful, since, after you turn 18, licenses cost $22, and then deer tags were another $26, plus another $8 for bird stamps, and all I've ever bagged was one dove and one rabbit, in 6 years. I gave up on that, now I just drink on camping trips.

i could kill harmless animals, but i dont.
mudding is the art of driving through the woods really quickly, hitting every huge mud puddle you see on the way. you can find some huge ones out here. we consider it an art form. most people do it on their four wheelers, but it can also be done in a truck or, if you're bored, your bike. it just rained tonite so i'll be out there tomorrow. lots of fun.

Heh, that reminds me of this show I used to watch that Carlos Mencia used to host, Comedy Compadres. One of the people doing stand up was talking about the different weather forcasts in Puerto Rico and Mexico. He said "The Puertorriceños, they talk fast, the weathers' like "hola, da da da da da da da da da da da da HURRICANE!!! da da da da da da da EVACUATE!!! da da da da AHORRA!!!!", when the Mexican weather guys' like 'Hola, tuday... eet's going to be... eet's going to be HOT!! WE LIVE EEN MEXICO, PENDEJOS!!! What did chu think I was gonna say, eet's gohnna snow?!!!'" I miss that show, the best Chicano and Latino comedy on TV, now it seems the only Chicanos on TV are "The Brothers Garcia" and Twister and Lars on "Rocket Power", both on Nickelodeon. better than nothing, though.
