2. In junior high we did that kind of thing
I swear i didn't learn anything in 8th grade science...
We did um counts for the teacher...the man could get up to 70 ums in over the course of an hour.
We also took quotes (out of context) that were absolutely hilarious and compiled a book...ah yes good times.

3. another


The Republican National Convention descended upon New York this week. Seriously -- total snoozefest. Like, zzzzzzz.

For the most part, I managed to ignore most of the it, except when I decided to bust out my brand-spanking new rollerblades (good thinking, Blair) and went careening into a group of about 30 cops in riot gear on duty in midtown along the West Side Highway, screaming all the way "I can't stop, I can't stop!"

...what the hell?

4. Oh God this one killed me, I have tears rolling down my face
The guy's post is actually funnier than her response:

Man, I've been using this thing FOREVER to try to get a drummer on this stupid list.

What is wrong with the people on here? Is there an epidemic of Mad Cow going on?

Doesn't anyone of you like post punk minimalist detroit deep house alt-rock with a twist of p-funk added in for groove?

Well, my manager does, so FUCK YOU.

I provide a rehearsal space and I write ALL the songs and they don't even show up for the goddamn rehearsals. I said, hey Max, are you coming? When we talked two weeks ago you said you were down. And he said, Yeah, I'll be there, and then, like, he didn't come. I was standing there with my dick in my hand AGAIN. For the UMPTEENTH goddamn time in a row. So now Paul (the bass player) is mad at me. Do I need to look for a base player too? Aw, MotherFUCK!

So this is the last time. Lets try this again. After this, I am going to give up. I will TEAR UP my demo deal contract with the label and I'll move to New Orleans and become a professional alcoholic and write songs about drinking while I drink myself to death. Fuck you!

Looking for a drummer who is into: The Faint, the Counting Crows, MB20, Dusseldorf Haigmeier, the songs of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, Interpol, Cat Stevens, Kurt Weil, Sisters of Mercy, Pet Sounds, KMFDM and post-Joy Division New Order. Please, no over the hill DEAD HEADS. No nutty Vietnam vets, por favor.

We have a manager, a van, a 24/7 rehearsal studio in Park Slope (thats the really nice area in Brooklyn under the Gowanus Expressway near all them warehouses, for those who don't know) a bass player who really plays in the pocket but who might quit (Paul, don't do it, please, I'll get you back next week, I SWEAR), a lead guitarist (Finch) who is really sleazy and dirty like Jack White meets Johnny Thunders meets Lou Rawls...and my girlfriend is the keyboardist and she is quite comely.

I write all the songs and I sing and dance on the stage and cause riots and get us thrown out of clubs. But you know what they say, no publicity is bad publicity, LOL!

So this is the deal. We got money coming and we need someone committed. We are going to do some kind of concept album involving a farm boy living in Pre WWII Berlin who falls in love with a gypsy showgirl with a heart of gold who is really a member of the Gestapo in disguise, and their whirlwind love affair with the wacky landlord of the flat they share...You know, like a farce.

The money is good. We got everything. I JUST NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN KEEP A BEAT and maybe throw in A COMPETENT freakin' DRUM ROLL who IS NOT A STUPID FUCKING IDIOT. Which I guess is asking alot.

I know it's not the most complicated instruement, drums, but act like a fucking professsional, FOR ONCE in your lives, don't throw your dreams of rock stardom awway for a skanky $20 whore and a dimebag of make-believe coke that's really Mr. Clean.

THANK YOU. SERIOUS DRUMMERS with BRAAIINNNNS can Email me or send me your address for samples/press kit.

Sorry if I offended any NON STUPID IDIOT drummers. Collateral Damage, LOL!

Woa, there, crackhead. You. Must. Chill.

It's not everybody else. It's you.
You ask, "Doesn't anyone of you like post punk minimalist detroit deep house alt-rock with a twist of p-funk added in for groove?" No, no we don't.
Counting Crows? Mr. Rogers? Just what the hell is wrong with you?
The concept album. "The whirlwind love affair with the wacky landlord of the flat they share…You know, like a farce." Sounds like Three's Company meets Schindler's List. And yes, indeed, it sounds like quite a farce.
Collateral Damage, LOL, indeed.
Rock and roll, baby. Rock. And. Roll.

6. hahahaha! What a great site!
My favorite (so far):

SWEET CHRIST, HOW I LOVE HATEBEAK, THE DEATH METAL BAND WITH A PARROT ON LEAD VOCALS.
By Matt Dorfman 09.15.04

I cannot play guitar. I cannot play bass. I cannot play drums. I will have to learn how to do one or all of these things in a hurry, though; the band that I hope to join already has their vocalist firmly established with nary a dream of dismissal. Ever.

The band I speak of is a punishing death metal cabal boasting a human drummer, a human guitarist, a human bassist … and a fucking Congo African Grey parrot named Waldo as their mouthpiece. Separately, they are humble minions of the Ever-Reigning Supreme Lord of Darkness.

Aligned together, they are Hatebeak.

Hatebeak?!?!? Bwahahaha!
