Call him up and ask him if he wants to go grab a beer. Fight over. Guaranteed.

foomanfat's friend, "You're an alcoholic!"
foomanfat, "No I'm not!!!"
*argue argue argue*

...later...

foomanfat, "Hey, wanna get a beer."
foomanfat's friend, "Only if you date rape me."

I haven't been blown away by any new music in a long time. Some of it has things that I enjoy or that I think "oh, this is interesting, I'll use it for reference later", but nothing is like "holy shit". I'm not into the weird 80s revival thing, and the "lo-fi" trend isn't really catching my interest either.

You can't release an album that's boring as fuck and still call it "lo-fi" just because you EQed out the bass and the guitars sound like crap. The passion is supposed to come through in the rawness of it, but I'm just not seeing it lately. I know it's out there, though.

Lol, reminds me of what Rob Zombie said about White Zombies first album. Something to the effect of, "No, it wasn't noise-rock. It was just metal being played through shitty equipment."

But speaking of "lo-fi" I need to check out Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's new album. They are awesome.

Search random words in the itunes search bar. I've found some real gems that way.

I swear my council is actually trying to make my life worse than it already is for fun... a £288.39 bill for 'management' costs out of the blue, what the fuck do I pay council tax for if not that? I'd just saved £250 by selling posessions I didn't want to so that I could eat after 3 days going without food and finally have a social life but no, they wont fucking leave me alone... oh and the best part, a 10 day dead line, three of which went during the bill being posted... reallll nice. FUCK.... I don't even know where the other £40 is gunna come from let alone in 7 days I have to pay another £130 for tax...

Oh and my boilers broken just to add insult to injury so no hot water.

And the girl I want is about to turn me down, yayyy me.

Doesn't it just really put you in a bad mood when you accidentally rewrite a song.

I need to find a solution to constantly feeling jaded in response to life, because it's now starting to piss me the fuck off rather than just get me down.

by about 1993 everything you could possibly do in rock music had been done; there were already precedents for all of the "revolutionary" shit of the late 90s/2000s from post-rock to Sunn O. anything someone comes up with now can be described in a pithy phrase as "xxxxxx crossed with yyyyyyyyy." the only ways to be amazing now are to be shocking, passionate, technically astounding, gorgeously melodic, or syncretistic in surprising ways. originality in rock is now as dead as Winston Churchill.

not only did my hard drive fail, my sound card is fucked up so i have no head phone jack, meaning i can only use my laptop speakers to listen to stuff fml this is shaping up to be a shitty week

I don't know, every once in a while I come across something I consider very original. Although I'm lumping other things in with rock. I listen to at least a few albums I have never heard - along with whatever my current obsessions are - every day, amounting to a total of over 10 hours of music, so I go through a lot regularly. The one advantage of having a job where I sit at a desk for such long periods of time.

well, sure, if you lump other genres in with rock it's easier to find things that haven't been done before. rap/hip-hop and electronic dance music, e.g., haven't been pummelled into a greasy spot on the pavement for over fifty years now in the same way that modern/free jazz or rock have been. nowadays, though, it seems like you've got to add something to your rock or jazz to make it "original," a shovelful of drum machine or some turntablism or some sampled orchestra crumpled up and strained through a KAOSS pad. not that there's anything wrong with that, by any means. but it's really hard to be a regular ol' rock band and make an impression any more, and even harder to keep going.

for the last year i've been a part of a band that seemed truly "new" to me... but there was the aspect of feeling a bit weird whilst playing the songs
