Guilty Pleasures, I Know You've Got 'Em!

[theactionindex]

I'm on kind of a "What I listened to when I was 15, that I secretly still like, but say it was from when I was 15 to throw people off the trail" binge lately.

Armor For Sleep ("What To Do When You Are Dead" was some solid shit yo!)
The Receiving End of Sirens
Copeland
Saves The Day
The Used
Moneen

BTW It's totally awesome that Hitler and Stalin managed to make a guest celebrity appearance in this thread.

i live in a post-communist country, it seriously sucks and it's really apparent even more than 20 years after the fall of the regime

guilty pleasures? Well... sometimes ILF makes me feel awkward about listening to Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, Architects etc., but no, i don't think i have any... i listen to a lot of music

oh yeah, a few days ago i felt weird... i liked The Beatles song i hear in a radio... i don't like them at all

lulz. I figured I'd be inciting more flak for insulting Blink 182 or something. My point was, some people value certain things, some value simplicity in music, others complexity. Even if it doesn't gel with anything you think is important, there's no reason to assume that any other band/ideology is outright wrong and doesn't have some value.

Also, one person's experiences living under one purported example of an ideology are not of enough value to condemn the ideology as a whole. It's silly to go from a country where your individuality is stifled then start expecting everyone to agree with you solely because of your experiences *cough cough Ayn Rand cough cough*.

It's more than just peoples individuality being stifled. Ask anyone that has lived or lives ( if they're not too scared to talk about it ) under such a system.
I'm just not sure what good this ideology is if it has never been useful to anyone on the planet except for maybe the people running things.

Please, don't take me seriously.

Only since you asked nicely.

No offense meant with the communist jokes man.
It's just such a foreign concept to me, being from the U.S., that I forget there are/were people affected by it and make silly jokes sometimes.

Born of Osiris and Veil of Maya.

I like Oingo Boingo
Don't feel guilty about it but I can't play it around anyone.

the newest bring me the horizon cd. it's pretty musical which is strange for them and has a lot of random ambient passages. i never thought i'd say this, but i really enjoy it.

Stalin killed more inhabitants of the states that made up the Soviet Union--i.e. residents of the country he ran--than Hitler killed Jews in all of Europe. Communism is only awesome to people who don't have to live under it.

Well, it depends on how you count it. Stalin purposely had around 1 million people shot, whereas Hitler shot 1.5 million Jews on the eastern front and gassed a million more in Auschwitz alone (more in other death camps); the majority of Stalin's victims died of attrition in the GuLag - similarly many Jews died in labor camps and concentration camps before liberation, though less in number than the GuLag victims. Stalin (1928-1953) was in power a lot longer than Hitler (1933-1945) too.

It's fair to say that both were "mass murdering fuckheads", to quote Eddie Izzard.

Not sure there was an awful lot of fuzz love allowed in the former Soviet Union either...
