Ravenous Yam

I can't imagine how absurd it would look for two cats to be having sex 'butt to butt'. I would assume they do it like almost every other quadruped.

Yeah Seanathon's got a point. When they broke into Top40 with 'How you Remind Me', they realized they didnt have to try ever again in their entire fucking lives, and just made the same formulaic bullshit over and over and over and over again. Who listens to Top40 radio/MTV music anyways? It's (largely) a who's-who of future one hit wonders, talentless hacks and less-than-mediocre douchebags that wouldn't know real music and talent from their own smouldering corpse in a Mexican ditch. Err... in my opinion, of course...

That's awesome. I wonder how 'out of left field' it's going to be? Like Yasa said, though, he loves music, and thats what music is all about. I look forward to this new music immensely.

I just realized now that i had made a typo in the above post about chords. Where i said "B(1) D(b3) F(b6) A(b7).", it SHOULD say F(b5). I don't know if anybody caught that, but i figured i'd best correct it. Also, i neglected to mention that the actual notation for a half-diminshed chord is m7b5. As in: Bm7b5 (B minor seventh, flat five). This is how it would usually be written in chord charts.

I can't assist you personally, but it would likely help if you said which city?

I have that album too. He is an excellent songwriter, and its cool he plays all the instruments. He puts on a great show as well. There was a lot of younger teenage girls at it though - they were taken aback by the profanity, onstage drinking and general unexpected actions of Sam Roberts. One guy was crowdsurfing, and little girls are too frail and cowardly to assist with that... he came near me, all the girls backed off, and i had to singlehandedly save this guy from falling headfirst onto the floor. It was cool; i caught him and threw him back towards the general crowd. Pointless rambling story, but it was a good show.

Hahaha. And i really hate it when a bunch of drunk morons start moshing or fighting or just being annoying. Last year at the MG concert at Mac Hall, Matt gave a couple guys who were being drunk idiots a good talkin' to... i cant remember exactly what he said, but it was amusing.

Yeah, C E F A would be the third inversion of Fmaj7. Pretty much a regular Fmaj7 with the notes in a different order, as said. The second one is a B half-diminished, also third inversion. A half-diminished is like a regular diminished, except instead of a double-flat 7th, it has a regular flat 7th. Therefore, B(1) D(b3) F(b6) A(b7). The mention of inversions is not really important, so if you dont know what an inversion is just ignore it, just pay attention to the chord. For reference, however, an inversion is when you take the same chord and rearrange the notes so they are in a different order. Take a major chord (1 3 5). If you start on the 3, then you get (3 5 1)[lowest to highest - the third is now the bass]. You are starting on the second note of the chord, therefore it is the second inversion of the chord.

Practice, practice, and more practice. Practice several hours a day, seven days a week. It takes a long time and a hell of a lot of practice to be good. For instance, people like Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen practiced at least 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for years and years (that's probably a little overboard though). Learn the CAGED system to best learn the most amount of chords the easiest, as they are the fundamentals of music. The CAGED system can also be applied to scales. Basically what it is is a method of learning where chords in a certain key can be played all over the fretboard, according to the 5 basic chord shapes of guitar. CAGED system But really what it boils down to is lots and lots of practice. Listen to as many different styles of music you can; this helps too. When you hear something you like in a song, learn that part (instead of the entire song), and play around with it to see what else can be done with the idea.

A Silver Mt. Zion - Broken Chords Can Sing a Little

I loved every song on rooms, including HTB and NAFL. I suppose if i had to pick a least favourite, itd be apparitions because, like other said, we've heard it before. It still kicks ass though.

Yeah what's wrong with Mac Hall? And what's the difference if it's all ages or not?

MG - Hello Time Bomb (acoustic)

Not so much the content i'm complaining about (so far its just Pure30 review), but rather the time it takes place for me... i hate math in the morning. Anyway, i am greatly anticipating the show. Too bad its over a month away.

Ditto. Tripoli is also fantastic.

It will be fun.

I saw the pilot last night. This show is awesome! http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/stella.asp The entire pilot episode is up on that website (the link off that site doesnt seem to work, use the one below right to the video - copy and paste the location into windows media). http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/Programs/St...ull_credits.wmv Fuckin hilarious. Watch the whole thing.

Haha i totally forgot about this hilarious, hilarious show.

Yeah thats a good idea. Plus we all want spots near the front, so we better be there fairly early. And Logan Cleaver is a good guy.

Microtonality is fun to play with. Did you know some Middle Eastern scale sets have as many as 80 different, distinct tones? Imagine how hard those would be to differentiate. Western music only has 12 tones.

Well aren't you special. I have MATH249 (calculus) at 9AM the next morning... thats no fun at all, especially with a 50min commute on a packed ctrain. Of couse, everyone knows how shitty the ctrain is during rush hour, but still i felt compelled to complain about it. Anyway, I had a point, but I forgot what it was.

Sweet. We should all have a... NF party... or something. I don't know. Too bad its a tuesday and not a friday or saturday.
