  1. Download some of their songs, see if you like them, and decide if they're worth spending money on the ticket to see. I recommend: All St's Day Relative Ways Source Tage and Codes Baudelaire Clair de Lune
  2. why don't you buy me one and then buy me a ticket to ottawa as well and i'll go to the show and tell you what i think about them? 30-Mar Houston, TX @ Engine Room 29-Apr Dallas, TX @ Gypsy Ballroom 30-Apr Austin, TX @ Emo's Go to one of those.
  3. #8252 here. I lost already.
  4. I found out that they're also playing in Ottawa on the 14th. Everyone go.. now... buy your ticket and go.. I don't care, just do it..
  5. Dave Genn's hit rock bottom. Lets hope he effects an expedient recovery back to the realm of quality music.
  6. Felt thing from the top of the drumkit used at the 2002 Western Fair show in London. Apparently Matt and the drummer threw it at each other back stage and my friend who was working scooped it for me. Yeah, I'm a loser.
  7. Hey Everyone, old thread I know. But.... ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead will be making a couple stops in Canada in April, including: Montreal - 13th of April Toronto - 15th of April London - 16th of April I'm going to the London show for sure. And if anyone else is in the area for any of those shows they should go, they're worth seeing live.
  8. Nah, it's not, I finally caught it in the credits, it's credited to Craig Northey alone and is called "My Happy Place". You were right about the other one, it's credited to Northey and Venzuela
  9. Found it, Craig Northey does the other song as well, called "my Happy Place" or something like that.
  10. Hey I know Craig Northey does the opening theme song, "Not a lot goin' on" But who does the closing theme? Or is it the same song? if anyone knows that'd be appreciated.
  11. Maybe next time you should lace your post with more blatantly obvious sarcasm. Some people are gullible here.
  12. sure there are and they all begin and end with STAIRWAY TO MOTHERFUCKING HEAVEN Ad the risk of making you think I'm even more of a moron. (you did say you wouldn't hold it against me), but anyone who truly likes Zeppelin knows that Stairway to Heaven isn't actually their best song, way overrated. I mean, it's great, but certainly not a top 10-all-time favourite. That's is all.
  13. Not sure if anyone else has heard. But the Green party of Ontario proposed eliminating tuition for post secondary education for the same reason tuition for highschool education was eliminated 30 years ago. Because most jobs nowadays require a post secondary education, therefore the government has it in their interest to provide it for free. that is all.
  14. If that's the case, then all of you have completely missed my point on that subject, and I have nothing more to add. In any case, back to the matter at hand. How about that Darfur place? Pretty crazy eh?
  15. Because, for the simple fact that that won't alleviate the problem. The education campaign, in my mind, is more a way for Western nations to feel all warm and fuzzy about themselves, like they're lending a hand, while not doing anything, in practical terms, to reduce the problem. But I also don't think reduction of the problem is point. These people aren't White, and aren't citizens of any Western nation. It's a convenient way of eliminating people who aren't your close friends while prentending you're helping them. In 1948, there was a internal memo in the United States to Pres. Truman (NSC 68?), since declassified, that stated that the United States contained 50% of the wealth and only 6% of the population, and that the foreign policies of the United States should be such to perpetuate this inequality in their favour. This has been the driving force behind U.S. relations with the rest of the world, and the primary idea behind the exploitationist state that's arisen. Providing minimalist aid, IE the education program, has been part of this program, make it look like they're doing something, and forgoing the more expensive program of providing real solutions to a dire problem. Showing real concern for foreign people is not part of the playbook, and it never reall was, it's all about image, and perpetuating wealth inequality. The United States knows the education program won't do anything, but it makes it look like they care to a degree, and in the end, that's all that matters.
  16. Funnily enough, as you think a hungry, disease ridden person would have sex being the last thing on their mind. Anyway I think you're off on the situation. It's not like they get drafted and get an "education stamp" they can trade for food. Yes they need food and yes they need water but all of that will be useless if they grow up without means with which to make a living and serve the sole purpose of transmitting HIV. Education = ++ Hence, one step at a time. Yes, it will all be wasted if they have no means and can only transmit HIV, as you so aptly pointed out. However, all that education will be wasted if you're only spending money on someone's mind without nourishing the body. Education is wasted if they don't have any outs, if they don't have any care whether they live or die. So in that sense the chicken must come before he egg, if it cannot come simultaneously. You must give someone hope before you can give someone means, giving them means without hope doesn't do anyone any good, else they languish in their destitude and end up not caring about what they educators had tried to teach them. I will also point out that the education being funded is not there to give them means to an end, but there to support abstinence among the populations. A goal that seems more likely one of controlling the population of these "undesirables" of the West rather then preventing AIDS. Because, after all, once you have AIDS, what do you care if you give it to someone? This can be the fundamental undermining of the education, especially in a place where rape of women is far more prevalent.
  17. That's the solution to the problem. We need to help educate them as to how to prevent transmission. It needs to be taught that sex spreads this disease, especially when it's mostly unprotected. When you're making a dollar a day, you're covered in flies and you can't find food to eat or clean water to drink, you tend to be willing to trade that good-natured education for a bag of rice, and you pray that foreign governments will start sending water purification and medicine rather than their clumsy, narrow minded education. Education is useless when you just don't care, so until we give these people the means to care we need to concentrate on prevention through sending prophylactics and humanitarian relief in order to give these people something to care about. Abstinence is the last thing on anyones mind when you havn't eaten in a few days.
  18. You're right, it was primarily based on revenge, and the Lesser Bush finishing his Daddy's business for him. Oil was just the bonus prize. Because, as we all know, the wealth of WMDs that the Iraqis had was a impending threat to the Western world and the very existence of human kind... what? They didn't have any? I guess they'll have to find a new excuse now. "Liberation of Iraqis" sounds good, now lets all just forget about all the ones we killed and abused. As for Dafur, it'll never happen, people just can't be bothered about any place they can't readily find on a map, IE Rwanda, Nigeria, etc. People cared about he tsunami because everyone knows where India and Indonesia are, and new reports came like wildfire. The situation in Africa is such that the AIDS epidemic causes roughly the loss of life equal to a Tsunami per week, but then again getting AIDS is their fault right? Thank God the USA is funding all this abstinence education because that sure does help people from giving into carnal urges, and does a hell of a lot more good than a pack of condoms and some real humanitarian relief. Darfur is just a blip on the Radar, and only the hardcore activists actually care about it. It pissed me off that the Tsunami got so much more coverage than Darfur when they're catastrophes of about equal proportion. But then I reminded myself that AMERICANS and WHITE PEOPLE were among the casualties of the Tsunami, so OF COURSE it had to have a vastly greater amount of coverage and outpouring of support. Love thy neighbour and let everyone in the far off lands suffer and all that Christian stuff. One of the first news reports I heard about the Tsunami was about how a Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover model from a few years back was involved in the tsunami, but survived. Apparently one Western model is more important the the countless villages and cities wiped out that it had to have first crack at coverage In summary, this world has gone to hell, and no one would pay an additional five cents per litre of gas to save the world. That is all.
  19. Best show ever. First Non-Radiohead DVD I've ever considered purchasing.
  20. Take a joke, buddy, and try not to have an anurism, it'll help you to live longer. Now enough of this Hip bashing.
  21. Something tells me you're not even Canadian, in that case.
  22. Hip are great. Don't bad mouth your superiors.
  23. Fad rock is fad rock. Doesn't matter what the bands called. plus, each has equally horrible songs.
  24. Just make sure you're first in line for Nickelback tickets then. It's practically the same thing.
  25. I've seen Pilate All you Aussies, cover your ears tight.
