Thanks. I posted my own happy birthday thread in Lemonade Stand.

You've still got 25 minutes to make the most of it!! Happy B'day, man! Sorry it sucked.

Nothing. All morning I was home alone. I worked all evening. One person (in person) said "happy birthday" to me (my mom). No one at work said a thing (though it's posted on the bulletin board everyone looks at).

People suck.

 

[the tourist]

awww! i would've made one or something but now the birthday listings have been moved, so i never notice anymore. *goes to look*

Aren't they just on the main page?

I think Boy is more consistant throughout, but I like some of the War material infinitely more than anything on Boy (New Year's Day, Like A Song, and Drowning Man, in particular).

I agree with the War material generally being stronger than Boy, but I think that Boy is bigger as a result of the sum of it's parts.

Quality-wise overall they're about equal, but my preference goes to Boy.

that's really lame. i believe people's birthdays should be celebrated as a national holiday

 

[Serena Vox]

Fixed.

yeah but they're at the bottom of the page now. i never look there!

 

[Axver]

Somewhat, yes. You like Passengers and Zooropa a lot more than I do, though.

I'm kind of surprised you rank Passengers so low yet rank UF so high.

I think War could have really benefited from an extra two or three weeks of recording. 40 could have been way better than it was. Red Light just needed less female background vocals and maybe a piano instead of horns. Then if one adds Treasure into the mix....

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I didn't like the superelectronic sound of Passengers, where TUF is much more organic.

Happy birthday Andrew

People suck.

Yes. They do. I got two texts and a few facebook messages, but that's it.

 

[the tourist]

Is it bad of me to hate the present I got today? I know my mom tries so hard... but I just don't like it at all. It's an electronic coin jar. You put the coins in and a sensor on it has a digital screen so it keeps track of how much money is in it.

Closing with "I Should Fall Behind"

 

[Serena Vox]

Yes. They do. I got two texts and a few facebook messages, but that's it.

How lame.
At least we've wished you a happy birthday! Try to make the best of the last 18 minutes of it.

That seems like...something you'd give a 10 year old.

Yeah. It's totally okay to hate that.

 

[bono_212]

Yeah. It's totally okay to hate that.

Yeah, I've always wanted one, but not as a b-day present

I know. She loves me. She just doesn't understand that I don't like things like that anymore. She's the only one who gave me anything, said happy birthday to me or anything, and I don't like the present. I should just appreciate I got anything.

oh god. yeah, it's okay to hate that. that's something i'd give to either a little kid or an old person.

 

[bono_212]

Ok testing. ....wtf is up with the post I made just a minute ago...the :huh : code won't work in it!

Well, it is the thought that counts.
But I can see hating what she got, for sure.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Yeah, I've always wanted one, but not as a b-day present

whoa, weird...

ha, it works when i quote it!

Superelectronic sound? I can't say I think that really applies to stuff like Beach Sequence or Miss Sarajevo or Your Blue Room ... hell, at least half the album.

I'd consider than cool, if it wasn't the only thing I got.

I hope I manage to squeeze in the day and wish you a happy birthday!

(if it's any consolation, mine got missed here too, bastards! )

Yeah, seconded.

But United Colours, One Minute Warning, Ito Okashi, A Different Kind of Blue, Always Forever Now....
