The thread will die without you.

Well I've heard OF a lot of those. I've probably heard songs off of a lot of them too. The ones that I would've gotten eventually anyway would've probably been House of the Holy by Zeppelin, the Franz Ferdiand one, the My Bloody Valentine one, and the Beck one.

Oh fuck. I forgot we aren't talking about 00s Bono.

Axver would back me up on Nick Drake - Pink Moon and Yes - Fragile being essential purchases.
the tourist said:
Convenient that he's not here to back that up anymore, eh...? ...eh?

Imagine Bad if he wrote it today.
If you get a needle some way
Kneel down and stick it into your veins
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Tell you "HEROIN IS BAD FOR YOUR SOUL!"
Oh Africa!
Oh Africa!
We will relieve your debt
One of these days
With a needle and a kneel
In your veins.

the tourist said:I'm getting close to finishing Screwtape's playlist.
LemonMelon said:
I'm just getting started. Has it gotten better since the Genesisathon?
You'll be happy to know the longest song on my playlist is 5:46 or so.
LemonMelon said:
Care to specify? We need some new discussion now that Axver has gone off to the tracks.
LemonMelon said:At least Screwtape sorted his out properly. Pfan didn't even name all of his songs.
the tourist said:
Actually, I had to update all the tags for Screwtape's. Then again, I had to for a bunch of PFan's too. The one who really got it right when it comes to the tags was Khan. It was very impressive.
LemonMelon said:
I didn't bother with tags. But they're all numbered anyway. One of the easier playlists to sort through, I'm hoping.

I have been having trouble with someone who considers me his girlfriend, though I do not consider him my boyfriend. He is Congolese and thus doesn't completely understand the why I don't want to be with him. He's very kind and respects me a lot, but I just want to be his friend, and English is like his sixth language so things can be difficult in communication, let alone other things.
It's complicated and I had a discussion with him last night and it kept on going around in circles. And I had promised we'd hit the town tonight, but now I'm going with my sister and a friend, and I'm not sure if I should still see him. I mean I feel really responsible for this mess, even though the key of it is that he doesn't yet understand Western etiquette in this department.
LemonMelon said:
Yeah, that is rough, especially since he is essentially a good person.
I am personally a goody-two-shoes (whatever the fuck that means), so I would suggest seeing him since you said you would. But after that, if you're really not emotionally attached and have no desire to go forward with the relationship, cut him loose.
The Sad Punk said:
Yes, he's really nice and he's had a fairly tough time (his family house was destroyed by a volcano a few years ago and he came here only with his younger cousins), but he doesn't play the sympathy card which is of course good. I keep saying that don't worry, you'll find someone else - but he won't take this for an answer, he really wants to be with me. And as much an honour as that seems, I just want to be his friend.
I will probably call him later and ask if he wants to have some drinks with us, but that's it really. I think to distance ourselves for a while would be good, or just to see each other in lower frequency.
