  1. I think the Wal-Mart protestors take the case a bit too far. If they want to portray Wal-Mart as a kind of lowest common denominator place to work, that's fine, because they really don't pay well (but should you be paid well for a job that requires no skills?) But when they try to paint it as an evil corporation that thrives off of exploitation, that's a little too sensational for me. In most of the countries where Wal-Mart has sweat shops, those jobs are preferable to the alternatives (prostitution, farming with no equipment in terrible conditions, starvation, etc.) Of COURSE Wal-Mart employees, their lawyers, and journalists are going to rail against the company's practices--they all stand to gain from it. I just think that the cold truth of it is that economic inequity is always going to exist. Edit: Oh, the whole point of this post: there's gamesmanship on both sides. Yes, Wal-Mart is only concerned with its own interests--but "Wal-Mart Watch" and "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices" aren't unbiased voices in the matter.
  2. Is it relevant for American bands? I could only find one copy, and it was on Amazon.ca, and it was $56 for paperback. ;)
  3. Wait, since when is bukkake gross?
  4. I liked what. No offense, but what the hell confused you about the story? SPOILER (Highlight to View) Arctor was manipulated by Donna to use Substance D so he could be admitted to New Path, the organization which was both secretly producing D and employing the mindless D addicts to grow it. Donna left subliminal instructions for Arctor throughout their relationship (a field of blue flowers, etc.), so he would bring her one of the flowers as evidence to prove New Path's wrongdoing.
  5. Were you paid as a session player, or did you guys just split things evenly amongst yourself? Is that question too personal?
  6. Gee whiz, we sure are special, guys.
  7. Should put more of his recordings on the Bored.
  8. I agree with you guys. With A Single Explosion, after I finally stopped crying, I re-examined my life and learned a lot about myself by seeing my personal history through the eyes of Matthew God [sic]. I... finally understand.
  9. Anton, are we allowed to sell mp3's of Matt's music? j/w. Edit: Seriously, just kidding.
  10. Yeah, what's the Members Only tag?
  11. Nah, we're an indie rock band, remember? All our lyrics are like: don't say you love me baby if you don't love me baby and if you need anything, i'll give it to you, if you want anything, i'll give it to you. Just kidding, haha.
  12. I could last longer in an actual sack due to oxygen deprivation and heightened atmospheric pressure. But anyway. Edit: Beth, do you want to talk on the internet and make Mrs. J jealous?
  13. Christy only receives songs by way of my meat cannon. But still 20 minutes if you're lucky.

  15. Album upload challenge: Shade's band.
  16. He means washed up artistically, not "washed up" in reference to name recognition or income.
  17. I agree completely. I really liked Reservoir Dogs, but the Kill Bill movies were a joke.
  18. Top 5 Songs By The Cars: 1) I'm Not The One 2) I'm Not The One 3) I'm Not The One 4) I'm Not The One 5) I'm Not The One
  19. No, but I think the new Torrentino movie will probably be out in a day or two. *cough*
  20. No, because it's his last record on Universal, right? They have no reason to promote him at this point.
  21. I think you look gooood. ;)
  22. Download the Firefox browser @ http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ Then get the Ad-Block Add-On @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 Voila. Edit: No problem. ;)
