Besides posing in front of brick walls or chain link fences, barbed wire is the most overused prop cliche in rock band photography.

I was checking out this guy who played on KCRW's morning eclectic last week and started reading the comments while trying to share the link. These ones reminded me of us :lol:

Well, I'm sure there are lot's of people who dig this and I respect that. But honestly, I'm not impressed. Not working for me. I found it kinda boring. If this moves you, then enjoy and support this artist. Music is a very diverse medium.

And what is the point of you having to absolutely go out of your way to make such a statement? You must be beyond bored if not boring yourself John.

So what exactly was it that moved you enough to go out of your way and post how unsatisfied you were with this artist? And a quite extensive response too.

Bought last minute tickets to see Mariano's final game at the stadium. I started to cry (and I really never cry). It was beautiful

Sometimes, a simple gif can make my day.

Now it's one of those times.

A German guy on a radio interview I just listened to referred to shoelaces as "shoe ropes". :lolol:

:lol: Germans are generally lost in space when it comes to the english language...except Warped of course, she's doing a good job. One reason is that they dub (completely ruin) all movies and tv shows so they don't hear it much....well, that's my little theory anyway

I didn't find that with the younger Germans.. One of the Hamburgers (!) I met said that English has changed the way he counts... instead of the counter-intuitive normal German way of saying "Vierundzwanzig", he said he finds it helpful when doing math to say it in German as we would in English, so, "Zwanzig-vier"... because it means you're saying the number from left to right, as you'd read it... I guess Germans (and Old English) say it the other way because way back they didn't normally deal with numbers larger than 100 so you'd be saying it more efficiently for simple math... But it really makes no sense to say "One million, one thousand, four hundred, three and twenty..."

Also, they all said English is easy for them, and that when they go to other European countries (esp. Holland and Belgium) they speak English so they get better service. :lol:

maybe the generation that's coming up now is doing better, that would be nice. I just know that a lot of the times when I contact a German about something on ebay e.g. I get some extremely funky replies from time to time. Even when it's regarding the simplest of things



I don't get why they don't protest in the streets to make that dubbing nightmare end

not just the one coming up, several current generations are definitely doing better. all German people (30's/40's and younger) that I´ve met are capable of speaking English pretty decently. it becomes difficult with generations of 50's +.

the dubbing is terrible indeed.

20th Century English dubbed Japanese movies were and probably still are the worst offenders. Woody Allen took an early 60's Japanese spy flick and basically threw in nonsensical dialog to poke fun at the entire genre of dubbed flicks:

Yesterday, and for the first time in the last 4 or 5 years, I heard my neighbours having sex. As I walked from the elevator to my apartment, I heard something unusual and as I got to my door (which is right next to theirs,) I heard her moaning and a guy sort of moaning as well. I just stood there with a hard-on for about 50 seconds, when the guy came. It was pretty hot. If there's something that can turn me on is listening on people having sex. I don't know what it is about it. It could well be two guys or two women, I think it would turn me on all the same.

Also, the only time I had heard people having sex before from this apartment was about 3 months after I moved in, and it turned out to be a prostitute who worked in this building, so I'm not sure if it counts.

It baffles me, really. I can listen to people having conversations or arguing if they're a bit loud, but I never listen to women moaning. Such a sad little community.
