But in the quote you added something extra, some amusing Liechtenstein beer comment, that isn't in the original!

Ooh, that sounds like it would be interesting, and quite a change of pace for the tournament. I hope you'd introduce me to some good shoegaze I don't already know.
Yeah, entirely agreed. Replace "Vertigo" with "SYCMIOYO" and I agree even more. Bleh. I have absolutely no expectation of hearing anything good on the next album. Now it looks like they may not even get it out this year. Laziest band ever? HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO RECORD AN ALBUM IN TWO YEARS? They've been ostensibly working on new material since mid-2006! Most bands I know can spit out an album in a couple of months without really breaking a sweat.
The Sad Punk said:Speaking of inebriation, I have to go to the city, so I'll talk to you later. Hope your gnocchi turns out well, and have a good night!
Axver said:Wow, Saints 45, Bulldogs 8.
The Sad Punk said:The beer is really nice by the way, it's called Svyturys Ekstra. I guess the Ekstra is extra, but the name I don't think I would be able to pronounce precisely. Particularly when drinking a 500ml of one of these!
I'm pissed off right now because the leader of the AFL tip competition I'm in didn't even send the Round 3 tip sheet to me, and so I automatically get the away teams AGAIN, since I couldn't tip last week, which in other words means I basically tipped the Demons against the Cats! And it's just because I didn't get the sheet! I sent an email and would have included more exclamation marks in it if I were as inebriated as I usually am at 8:50 on a Friday night.
The Sad Punk said:I thought that too after looking at the previous discs. I hope I can get some points just for being a bit refreshing!
Not sure what shoegaze you haven't heard, I will probably include Chapterhouse, Curve, Lilys, Kitchens of Distinction and probably a song from Isn't Anything or Souvlaki for something more popular. Of course it depends on other things too.
You know what's fucking sad? This band is one of the most popular in the world for some reason. They have released 5 albums in almost twenty years. Three of those were within five years (another if including Passengers). That is fucking pathetic. A lot of popular bands have released five albums this decade. It's basically inexcusable, I don't give a shit if Bono's out handjobbing Africa, surely he can be in there for a while recording something. Husker Du's Zen Arcade was completed in 85 hours, and I rate it higher than any U2 album. Perfectionism is a demon when making music, and it has plagued U2 this decade.

You?
mysterious_jen said:ohhh sweet the australian u2 show playing at imax at the premiere ...
mysterious_jen said:
ive had so much stress this week i just went into manic who gives a fuck mode today , i have had enough !
Axver said:
Have you seen them before? I haven't, though I get the impression from Ali that they're not bad.
What day of the week is the U2 3D premiere again?
Axver said:
I'm really stressed about uni stuff, but now I'm just pissed off with it all. I'm regurgitating the work of others for the sake of a mark and it's driving me batty. I already know how to research stuff in primarily secondary sources in the uni libraries! I know how to present a coherent argument!
I WANT TO DO SOME ORIGINAL WORK!
I'm going to go insane soon.
mysterious_jen said:wednesday nite . midnite. entertainment starts at 9 you being there is a must. otherwise i will see you saturday 8.30 !
Axver said:
Right, so it's Wednesday night/Thursday morning? I knew it involved Wednesday, but I couldn't remember if it was that, or Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Thanks.
And I'll definitely be there - I've got one of the tickets Ali bought!
mysterious_jen said:
