the people. in the thread. it seems as though there's a consensus as far as the demise of oink is concerned. it sucks, because the massive quantity of good, pre-release music that was freely available, is now gone. at the same time, we recognize that it's only temporary and that stealing music will persist, so long as record companies continue to push utter crap for high prices, while paying artists little to nothing for their work.

so you agree with what we're saying?

i think that people as important as mr. oink will be made examples of to the rest of us, however, i don't think that the smaller parties will have to worry about authorities ever coming after them. i think they use the examples as scare tactics, to discourage the free distribution of music, but a) it doesn't really work and b) they don't act on it. it's a vain attempt to stimulate an archaic form of commerce. they figure that by arresting people who break copyright, they will somehow bring money back into the recording industry, and that everything will be right as rain. meanwhile, they'll continue to distribute the highest form of shit known to man, and charge you a great deal of money for it. no way. they're just delaying the inevitable.

exactly.

yes and no. as much as i'll miss oink, it'll only be a few months before something else comes around that's either comparable, or better. that's the way it works. as you said, ordinary people are the ones who are orchestrating all of this 'illegal' activity. 10/23. never forget.

nooooooooooooo! this blows.

i was hoping for a little "the boy come home" last night, but no dice. maybe in toronto.

the show was quite awesome. i sat in the second row. unfortunately i had to leave during the encore so my lady could catch a train, but i'm going to the massey hall show as well, so i don't feel tooooo bad. i'm not sure how many more songs he played after i left (following pledge of allegiance) but it was a really good show. matt was heeelarious as usual. any one else hit it up?

hahaha wicked. i can't tell the difference between 128 and 160, but i can certainly tell the difference between 128 and 320 (if it's a constant).

fuck pirates and zombies and the hipsters who think those things are cool.

Cave In - Jupiter brilliant. way better than oceansize. The Icarus Line - Penance Soiree if the stooges made babies with spacemen 3.

my girlfriend and i are thinking of being: the twin towers anne frank and a nazi officer or buster and lucille (either) from arrested development

right, but not his fear that eventually last names will be these uncontrollable monstrosities. oh noes! what will we do?!

are you serious? the line "WELCOME TO ERRRF" is worth watching that film alone.

no, but it was about ownership. i think that taking a person's name is an archaic practise and won't have anything to do with it. sure, the lady is joining my family, but aren't i joining hers as well? why change your last name at all? why do people feel the need to express their relationship and love through symbols? the changing of one's last name, the wedding band, the wedding itself are all symbols, and none of which contribute to the meaning of a long-lasting relationship whatsoever. moonlight's logic for starting this topic is fucking painful. also, props to lauren.

awww, lame. thats the best they can do?

nine inch nails can now officially say their label is nothing. lolz.

that was a joke. i don't think he should be wasting his fucking time. no one wants to hear a nine minute dance/dub version of "capitol g."

boner bummer (british slang) orange refrigerator or fridge

totally looking forward to the remix album!!!

my bad, i read that as "can't"

woot. no problem. glad you liked at least one. i'm trying to think of other albums to up here that haven't already been, or aren't too common in record collections.

this isn't jesu... Dead Meadow - Feathers (2005) neo-psychadelic. relatively mellow. damn good. Liars - Drum's Not Dead (2006) crazy, noisy, experimental rock.

i meant that i dont understand why people have to be impressed with it.
