Boring Lava Field?

 

[the tourist]

Anyway, I'm digging your playlist right now, Axver--of course I've only been through one song with growls.

 

[Axver]

Hey Axver, I'm listening to your playlist. I'm on Russian Circles right now.

Cool. What do you think so far?

Edit: just saw your last post. Don't worry, there's only growls on 7, 19, and 23. Though track 21 will hurt me too.

 

[the tourist]

Where's everyone gone off to?

 

[the tourist]

Cool. What do you think so far?

Overall, at this point it's my second favourite of the 7 (8 including yours) that I've listened to.

 

[the tourist]

Dead thread.

 

[the tourist]

Anyway, in response to LM from the last thread:

Yes, you posted more than me in the last thread. It's due to the fact that over the last two nights I haven't gotten home til 1:30 either night and went straight to bed. This being after leaving around 3 each day for band practice, and then going to shows (concert and a musical) from band practice.

 

[the tourist]

And tonight, once I'm done with work, I think I'm gonna unplug my internet (when I get home) so I can work on my novel a bit.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, seems quiet this morning.

 

[the tourist]

Anyway, Axver, the songs I liked most out of your playlist so far are the ones by Martin Phillips and Ride.

It was going like mad about 3 hours ago.

 

[the tourist]

In those pictures you or Jen posted last night of four of you going to U23D, who were the other two girls besides Jen? I didn't read too closely as I was skimming and doing homework.

 

[the tourist]

If it keeps up like this, I'm gonna get myself a little bit of a lead.

 

[the tourist]

It probably won't keep up like this, though.

 

[the tourist]

Right when my break is over, the whoring will go back to full-throttle.

 

[the tourist]

I'm really digging this stuff. It's making me want to explore more of the post-rock/prog-rock stuff my friend burned me an mp3 disc of (Green Carnation is one of the bands). Oh, and your copy of Time skipped on my computer--could just be the mediafire.

 

[the tourist]

Weeeee!

 

[the tourist]

Are aliens attacking the East Coast?

Ali and cin, Ali being the tall one.

 

[the tourist]

Or is everyone just gone to bed early?

 

[Axver]

Cool. Martin Phillipps is the lead singer of The Chills, who I've used numerous times before.

Ah, for some reason I suspected that was her, but I didn't know who the other one was. I was wondering if maybe it was gluey. But cool. Anyway, I think it's the hair, but you sorta look a bit like early 80s Adam.

I might have to check them out.

You definitely should. With Green Carnation, they change style every album - that song is from their acoustic one, but another album features a single song, 60:06 long, that's just a huge prog metal epic.

On my copy of Time, there is a small blip at one point. No matter what I do, I can't get rid of it when I copy from my CD to the computer. Must be on the CD. I've never actually played the CD on anything other than my computer to see what it sounds like though!

gluey's on the wrong side of the Tasman Sea.

And my hair was much longer a week ago! It drove me nuts so I got it chopped.

Jake generally knows the style of music I'll dig, so I'd almost assume without even looking that it's probably their acoustic one. But once DI is over (or I've listened to everyone's playlists once) I'll make sure to get that stuff in. I'll list it on here one day to see what you've heard of it, and suggestions as to the order in which I import it.

That sucks. I hate it when that happens.

At one point I had shoulder length hair:

My best impression of Oasis.

 

[the tourist]

Anyway, gotta get back to work. Be back in an hour or so.

 

[Axver]

The longest my hair ever was can be seen in that well-known picture of me from Auckland II on U2VT. Bloody hell that was nuts.

 

[Axver]

I'm off to meet a couple of friends for lunch. See you folk in a bit.
