Creed

what's there to be shameful of? creed are amazing, and so fucking artful. i mean, look at this album cover: -

i hope you're not in a high rise building or anything, because i've got some bad news for you. their tour isn't coming to toronto. it's not even touching canadian soil. the closest they're coming is darrien lake (an amusement park!!!) in buffalo. was the sarcasm that his post was oozing too subtle for you? i feel the same way. let's conduct a mass-suicide to the tune of some of creed's greatest hits: ...and who could forget: -
discuss. after six LONG years, creed are back, ready to take the world by storm. will you be attending a show on their reunion tour?

yes, the T1 is what i filled in. i did not scratch the box to opt out of taxes the legal way, as i was under the impression that i'd be there for a year. but my boss might've. who knows. i just got a statement from my boss, as i asked her to detail what i made and what was actually deducted. i'm surprised i got it, but in any case, she did deduct CPP and EI (same as UIC, right?), just not the tax. i will be contacting someone soon about all of this. what about having those things deducted but no tax spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e for you?

so is the plug pulled? i was excited about this show, but really haven't watched it since EP 3.

Sufjan Stevens...

"racing like a pro" he's also on a b-side from that record, which can be found on the virginia EP. -
i'll ignore the ghastly spelling mistakes to say thank you. i figured those were my options. i'm just not sure if i'll have to pay a penalty for knowing that i was being paid under the table or something. i guess i should also mention that at the beginning of my tenure there, i filled out a tax form of some sort (i'm really not sure if it had a name, i'm a dumbass for not photocopying it)... the kind you'd have to fill out before being put on payroll somewhere. now i'm wondering if that will somehow factor into whether or not i receive a T4 or ROE. again, i know very little about all of this, and all of my other employers were rather large companies or institutions, so i'm also not used to being taken advantage of in this way. nuts. so should i report them if i'm feeling rather bitter? or are you saying that even still, the chances of them being caught for it are slim? i guess the seriousness with which revenue canada would pursue the issue is relative to the amount of money i was paid, and the amount that they were owed by neither party paying taxes on it.

i have a question regarding getting paid under the table. my employer was paying me under the table because (in her words) she wanted to help me be a bit more financially sound after being unemployed for 6 months. i thought she was helping me out, but after only having worked there for two months, i was fired, and i realized that she was doing it to save herself. as it turns out, i was hired as a band-aid of sorts (it's a small, independent bookstore), and that she had no interest in keeping me on staff longer than the two months i was there. had i been there for three, i would've been entitled to two paid weeks of notice of my termination (rather than the day-of termination i got) and i also would have been able to sue her for wrongful dismissal. now that i've been fired, i'm tempted to claim the money i was paid on my next tax return with the hopes that she'll be audited for it. i'm assuming that by doing that i'll only have to pay the tax that i owe for what i was paid, and not have to pay any extra $$$ for penalties. am i right to assume that? is claiming the money a stupid move? is anyone here familiar with these kinds of laws and procedures? i've checked out employment ontario's website but it's vague and mostly unhelpful to my situation.

i swear meg introduced me to them. the album being posted in shade's thread does not coincide with the fact that i put "perfect speed" in one of my crumby student films. -

check the dark was the night comp. he covers a castanets song. -
Destroyer
borntohula replied to Goudie's topic in Music In General: David Bowie Appreciation Station
sometimes i have a hard time telling the difference between him and spencer krug. that makes a band that features the two of them seem a bit redundant. bejar doesn't strike me as a good songwriter in any case, but i really haven't heard much outside of SL, NP or the singles from his solo work. -
Sufjan Stevens...
borntohula replied to johnerwin's topic in Music In General: David Bowie Appreciation Station
no, it isn't, and if you listen to rock at all, then you're listening to music ultimately derived from religious hymns. as for sufjan, i liked illinoise quite a bit, but really hope he doesn't follow through on that every-state plan. it's too gimmicky. you guys should really check out his album year of the rabbit if you haven't yet. totally different from illinoise and really awesome. -
they've lightened up on the new disc, but by doing so they've lost much of what made them interesting in the first place. now they're just a bland dance-rock band.

for some reason i thought it was meg, and that she was onto them like 4-5 years ago. meg, confrim/deny? -
is that your only reason? too bad i can't use that as an excuse as to why you're fucking crap. rofl.

Living Colour
borntohula replied to borntohula's topic in Music In General: David Bowie Appreciation Station
i don't know much of their other stuff. i do know that they do a wicked cover of talking heads' "memories can't wait" but that's about it. let us know if you find something interesting. these guys are still playing together, so there's probably a lot that youtube has to offer. -

it'll either be great, or it will suck hard. but you don't need cable, i'm sure it'll be all over the internet. -

is that an offer? marry me.

borntohula replied to Gomo's topic in Music In General: David Bowie Appreciation Station
