My problem with Laz (and he's the first to admit this himself) is that he can be a tad pretentious some times...

Other than that, I enjoy reading his posts, i still remember him on WIRE arguing with jick about Pop

We abandoned our old job. Giving ratings to interlanders.

WE ABANDONED OUR JOB!!! WE ABANDONED OUR STORE!!!

I hate most people.

hayguys wut is going on here on 4th of july??

Sup Zoots?

Personally, I'm waiting for a cute, sweet, church-going blonde girl to give me a call so that we can go and have some beers and celebrate the holiday like true Americans.

That's what first made me attack him. But, yeah, he grew on me and now I'm glad he did. He's turned me on to a lot of good movies, music and TV shows....and hopefully I've returned the favor a little bit.

You know what made me happiest about it? It was instantaneous, it just seemed to fit perfectly. I'm an immature asshole, but, I crack myself up, it's a vicious cycle. I did not mean to say "cycle".

I'm amazed you managed to get it all down so quickly considering how fast these threads move

Laz shits me. Bye, guys!

THIS IS A DAY FOR AMERICAAAAAAAAAAANS!!!!!

The Butcher FTW.

GAF!

Love that pic you posted of the Stripes!

For the record, I am a Laz fan. There are a lot of assholes on this forum, but he's one of the hysterically funny ones. Most of his arguments are valid as well.

True fact. There are some assholes on here that are simply insufferable.

And Laz is Lance's Dad. And Dalton's brother.

I was assuming that, but still, well done

Yeah, the Stripes rule. One of my best friends is the BIGGEST White Stripes fan in the world, and he actually looks a lot like Jack White and has the whole long hair deal, too. He's a really good guitar player also and models his playing style after Jack White. Kinda funny.

I want to discover some new music today...


Best Elbow album. Name it.

Sounds like the beginnings of a tribute band to me!

Don't forget to remind him to call out the sexy people, GAF.

The SONG 4th of July is on The Wild, The Innocent, And The E Street Shuffle. Therefore, it is the best.

I love them all, but, my favorite is Leaders of the Free World

Well not a tribute band exactly. But my group of friends do mess around with the ol' guitars and drums from time to time. We can all play the guitar ranging from decently to very well and we've written a good number of songs.

Nothing will ever come of it most likely, but it's fun.

The Seldom Seen Kid has really grown on me as well...

I tried playing them for my wife and she does not like

It has grown on me as well. Mirrorball is lovely. Friend of Ours is too.

 

[Zoots]

Okay who else is gonna admit to re-labeling the last 5 tracks of the Dead Letter Office CD as Chronic Town? Surely, I can't be the only obsessive one here.

Oh GAWD, Chronic Town is lovely.

Gardening At Night is probably the R.E.M. song that is nearest to my heart. And that is saying something. It was the song that made it click for me with R.E.M. I realized how amazing they were when I heard that song.

Funnily enough, Stipe has said that Gardening At Night is "the song that made us realize we could actually write songs"

 

[LemonMelon]

I can't believe I still have one eye on that crap thread.

You win for funniest post so far, NSW:

U2 Feedback - View Single Post - Business Trips ... Are They Legit When There's Closing Involved ??

 

[Zoots]

I love the version of Gardening At Night on Eponymous! You can actually understand Stipe there. GAF, you got into them way back when in 1982???

Sigh, time to be lame:

When they played Gardening at Night at their Hall of Fame induction, I cried a little bit. Just, I don't know....always loved the song, the band have been part of my life since 1984 or so......and Berry was playing with them for the night. I'm a dork, whatever.

Hey wait a minute!

Mel, have you listened to the rest of that Air I sent you yet?
