Random Music Talk XXI: Check Out This F@&!#%' Shouter

[BoMac]

Wow I don't even know why I did that.

/shame

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Where the fuck is impy?

Impy, where the fuck you at?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

lMPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[lazarus]

The Other Place is Everything They Say Is Idiotic.

Fixed.

 

[u2popmofo]

Kate Blanchet, this is for you.

 

[corianderstem]

I feel you, mofo. I feel you.

 

[iron yuppie]

Kate Blanchet, this is for you.

 

[BoMac]

Kate Blanchet, this is for you.

I hope this Oceania leg doesn't give us a similar cringe-worthy moment. Boner's shout-out there just ruins an otherwise great version of that song.

 

[iron yuppie]

I've always wondered whether there is a story behind that invocation. Bono also seems to forget the lyrics in the first verse in that rendition.

 

[cobl04]

You capitalize "is" in titles.

/pet peeve

i hate it. the, on, in, at, is, i don't capitalise any of them in song titles. looks stoopid i reckon.

 

[corianderstem]

I think he just likes to holler out names of celebrities who are there.

I hate it; it's obnoxious. I don't mind a lot of Bono's little annoying quirks, but not this one.

Except for when Alicia Keys is there, because then I can pretend he's talking to me. Like at the NYC Vertigo show I was at.

 

[cobl04]

if Alicia Keys is there, that means EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

 

[corianderstem]

That would be really fucking awesome.

As long as Bono doesn't come out and join in with them.

In which case it might change from awesome to hilarious.

Here's the rule: all words should be capitalized in titles except for prepositions (on, in, around, etc.), conjunctions (and, or, etc.), and articles (the, a/an). My apologies for the pedantic moment.

 

[If you shout...]

Common knowledge ftmfw.

Really. Wow...

Here's the rule: all words should be capitalized in titles except for prepositions (on, in, around, etc.), conjunctions (and, or, etc.), and articles (the, a/an). My apologies for the pedantic moment.

Thank you for the explanation, honestly. Had no idea I was screwing that up. I just thought it was all short words like that. Damn.

EDIT: What I mean more is that I always forget that Is is not a preposition.

meh. that's an okay rule, i guess. I think this one makes more sense though:

i hate it. the, on, in, at, is, i don't capitalise any of them in song titles. looks stoopid i reckon.

 

[lazarus]

Friggin' Grammar.

 

[cobl04]

what a riveting conversation we're having

The Lady Killer is really, really good. All the way through.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Friggin' Grammar.

beautiful times

 

[cobl04]

Frasier was such an awesome sitcom.

almost half as awesome as HIMYM.

how much wood do i need to keep these two beavers satisfied?

 

[lazarus]

Frasier was such an awesome sitcom.

almost half as awesome as HIMYM.

But not nearly as funny as EYKIW.

Boner knows people.

 

[IWasBored]

prepositions/articles only get caps when they're the first word in the title. otherwise, no.

bUt On tEh iNterNetZ ANYTHING GOES1!!11LOL11!!!!!

Boner knows people.

True. First and last word in a title: always capitalized.

 

[IWasBored]

and the whole thing gets underlined when handwritten.

i think a little piece of me dies every time i misuse quotation marks around/don't italicize or underline album titles, i'm just too bad at typing to be able to find the brackets for the message board tags, but the lazy*-ass outweighs the grammar nazi so i just don't bother.


*here, let me get that for you:

But if you're using IE or Firefox, you can just use the regular old ctrl+I to italicize.

 

[IWasBored]

i did not know this.

 

[cobl04]

four days until the first of the Oceania gigs, i'll be disappearing for two weeks so as to not see setlist spoilers/complaints.

But not nearly as funny as EYKIW.

like watching a car crash... sometimes you just can't look away, as much as you might want to.
