Eh. Not sure how I'm going to like this album.- The Style Thread
Have you tried contacting that website? By the looks of it they're the only ones who still sell that tee, let alone in specific sizes.- What are you listening to right now!?
Aw yeah. Listening to Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull right now. Not loving it.- The Style Thread

You could just add "my girlfriend" to your signature, you know.- Music Documentaries
Sure, but chances are if you knew everything that was in the movie, that's because people who had already seen it shared that same information with you, since it gets thrown around /mu/ all the time. It's a good inspiration anyway; I've been looking to incorporate blastbeats and tremolo picking. [Edit] And now I don't want to anymore.- Music Documentaries
Post them. Discuss those you've watched. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-njKCr6ieKE Such Hawks Such Hounds [hide=Description] "Such Hawks Such Hounds explores the music and musicians of the American hard rock underground circa 1970-2007, focusing on the psychedelic and '70s proto-metal-derived styles that have in recent years formed a rich body of unclassifiable sounds. This is a great documentary film by John Srebalus about heavy music of USA. Music , interviews, live and some of the heavy metal, stoner, doom and drone legends from 1970 till now. More than one hour of great music, historic point of views, attitude and great people.

This is the first (and only) film to truly shed light on a movement that has heretofore been shrouded in darkness and rumor and obscured by inaccurate and shallow depictions. Featuring exclusive interviews and verité with the musicians, a wealth of rare, seldom seen footage from the "Inner Circle"s earliest days, Until the Light Takes Us explores every aspect of the controversial movement that has captured the attention of the world. This is the movie that gets inside the minds and hearts of black metal's musicians. The filmmakers moved to Norway, living and filming there for two years. The movie is not about them though - it's about the extraordinary people and events that make black metal unique."[/hide] Watching the last one right now, then probably going to move onto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtQZlpt38Og&feature=related [Edit] It's about masonic symbolism. #-o Or Death On The Road, which is a documentary about Iron Maiden, more precisely about Dance of Death and the tour that accompanied it, I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdtIG99czZQ [Edit] It's about the album, and it seems it's not possible to make a music documentary without someone dropping their pants.- Today...

You could wear anything to a club. Go with whatever you like; I don't think you should be dressing differently for that type of event anyway. Oxford cloth has a basketweave pattern, whereas poplin is a plain weave. The former is more resistant, the latter is cooler. Make your pick.- Electronic Music

It's quite the opposite for me; most of the time I remember little. I do remember things in conversations that made an impression on me (duh), like flyingjj said.- What are you listening to right now!?
a) It's all on one window, unlike Winamp. That UI [bleep]s with me. b) It starts up super fast. That's really the main reason I like it more than iTunes. c) The ability to move stuff around is handy. For example, 1000px-long seekbar allows me to precisely pick where I want the song to play, which is handy for figuring out how to play it. d) You can see the waveform, also handy for trying to get a similar synth sound to another band. e) Conversion, tagging, etc. is really easy. In other words, it's not magical or whatever, but it's still pretty sweet. I haven't tried using themes but it'll probably be slow on my computer anyway.- "I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice

At the Capital Pride parade in Ottawa, an NDP convoy (or whatever you want to call it) showed up and everyone stopped cheering and clapped, it was touching. Not as much as his letter though. He'll be sorely missed.- "I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I agree with what RPG said. There's something inherently unattractive about someone who needs a girlfriend.- Nerves when speaking in public, any advice?
I get the shakes too for presentations, but if it's something I enjoy doing it's far easier. For example, playing music live. That's always a breeze, probably because I've practiced it so much, without thinking "alright I'm going to rehearse this song now", so it always ends up being kind of automatic (I never fail to catch myself thinking about something totally unrelated). About six months ago, I did a presentation on the music industry in front of two judges (one of which I didn't know), and I felt that was easier to do than in front of classmates, even though it was far more important. In class, they really want you to [bleep] up, because presentations are always so damn boring that's the only amusing thing that might happen. I've had someone show me porn on their iPod while I was up.- Today...

Get books at the library. I'm reading a book that's part novel, part history of philosophy. It's called Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaarder. It's aimed towards a younger demographic I think, but it's still pretty interesting If you really want to be in front of a computer, try http://library.nu.- The Style Thread
White oxford or poplin shirt. Or both. Oxford is warmer and more resilient. Check out L.L.Bean Signature's (their "cool" line) shirts too. http://www.llbean.com/llbeansignature/llb/shop/505939?page=shirts&subrnd=1&nav=sigsn-20 [Edit] (from the Sartorialist) Shorts may now go below the knee.
