Video and song blew my [bleep]in mind

New Alexisonfire song. Hard to deny them as one of the most talented post-hardcore bands out there.
Thank you so much for posting that sqx...can't wait for the release of this EP sounds like it'l be amazing!
-
Any of yous like Enter Shikari or Blakfish? Great posthardcore bands :)
Enter shikari is my favorite band. I actually made a thread about them, its been dying down a bit but it should be somewhere in the first couple pages of the forum!
And have you heard the live versions of their new song "destabilize"?
going to be [bleep]ing amazing...

Vitamin D, fishh oil, multivitamin :thumbup:
What exactly are fish oils good for? And do they leave like a fishy aftertaste in your mouth?

I don't post all that much in off topic, so I'm not sure if a thread like this has been around before, but if it has go ahead and lock this.
I've been having some pretty crazy (very vivid) dreams lately and a few weeks ago I actually had my first rememberable lucid dream. A lucid dream is essentially when you are aware that you are dreaming and continue to dream without waking up.
In my lucid dream I had no idea that it was a dream until for some odd reason, I subconsciously told the person whom I was talking to in my dream that "you are in my dream right now". At this point it clicked that I was dreaming yet I didn't wake up. The person whom I was talking to in my dream told me to prove to him that I was dreaming, so I looked outside at the sun, somehow managed to make it drop out of the sky while the moon simultaneously rose into the sky. This was my subconscious way of telling him I was dreaming, because I have no idea what made me inclined to do that, haha.
So I woke up remembering the dream, and went to researching a bit about lucid dreaming. I thought it was pretty cool that I could do this (this, being making the sun fall and the moon rise) and apparently you can "train" yourself to lucid dream and you can do all sorts of cool things.
I had this conversation with my friends the other day:
If you could (maybe you already can) lucid dream, what would you do in your dreams?
Next time I lucid dream, I'm probably going attempt to:
-fly
-breathe underwater (I've done this before in non-lucid dreams)
-take drugs (I had a dream where I smoked weed, and I LEGITIMATELY felt high in my dream, similar to how you feel pain in dreams)
-do some sweet snowboarding tricks (I have a lot of snowboarding dreams for some reason haha)
-talk to famous people that inspire me
-Of course, if I ran into a my bangin hot dream girl, I may go ahead and spit a little dream game on her and see where that takes me.
What would you do?

So was this along with the past dung update the completion of dungeoneering batch 2?? (just curious)
-
cranberry juice and codeine.
...?
Lil wayne's health recipe?
-
well, (*knocks on wood*) I haven't gotten sick in over 3 months now, which is a record for me ever since high school... I go back to college in a week so hopefully my newer healthier ways along with some daily multivitamin, vitamin C, and zinc pills will do the trick to keep me much more healthy than last year :mrgreen:

You sound like a whiny d-bag. "aww people don't agree with my taste in music. Obviously, I pick the best bands and you don't."
Get off your high horse.
You obviously didn't read through the whole topic you [bleep]. I'm not a whiny d-bag by disagreeing that this band sounds like the god-awful band "brokencyde"...Many times I told saru and others that I'm not saying Enter shikari is "the best band ever and better than every other band"...I'm simply trying to spread the word of what I consider to be a good band and see you're thoughts. I'm going to argue and disagree when people like saru make [developmentally delayed]ed posts like he did. Now your post has no relevance to what this thread is all about so either contribute something meaningful to the thread or go talk [cabbage] somewhere else you ass.
-
Srry ? I just think the band is very innovative, and genius. I mean it's a very good mix of pop, and a form of thrash metal I can only assume. But THIS is what BrokeNcyde + Enter Shikari should both sound like. Don't tell me to grow up, when you rage when someone who is apparently not a grown up, makes fun of a piece of crap band that was created on a god forsaken island 3000 miles from you.
@ Range. Godddamn, way to call me out :| Yea, I was trolling, this band sucks.
You really suck at being a troll, maybe that's why he was calling you a '[bleep]ing idiot'.
Maybe, maybe. Or maybe I wasn't really trying? And I know exactly he was calling me a [bleep]ing idiot. Because I made fun of his favorite band >.>
It's not just that. It's the way that you make fun of them that seriously just makes you sound moronic. I mean, snap out of your giggly little dream world over there and just RE-READ your first post on this thread...
-
This topics been alive for a while, figured I'd finially read it and give them a listen. Although it's my type of music [as it was refered to "glitchy post-hardcore"] I can't get past the accent. Instrumentally, it's pretty good, I enjoy the usage of synth with my screamo, but the vocalist sounds so simliar to Close Your Eyes...if he grew up in Britain. Tey need a bit more melody in my opinion. Enter Shikari, not terrible, but not amazing.
Good honest review. And yea, the accent was a bit strange for me at first too but I became accustomed to it and now I really like it :P
Mind me asking what songs of theirs you listened to? Their new stuff is drastically different from their old stuff.
-
Haha this music made me laugh!!! LOL! I love it
It's catchy, it's original, THIS is what Enter Shikari should sound like. Omg. I'm noteven kidding i've already dl'd this song. I LOVE THIS!@!!!!!
saru you are such a [bleep]ing idiot man...grow up already
Annnnnnnnd +1 for the troll.
ha who are you referring to as the troll. Cause personally I think my post was well thought out and VERY necessary...

A vid taken (not by me) from when me and a friend seen them earlier this year. Sound quality is pretty [cabbage] but it shows the lights and stuff which made the gig much better imo.
I'm so excited to see them this november when they're headlining in the U.S. It will be such a better set than warped tour, and the lights will be badass :cool:

So, I'm going to be a sophomore in college this coming year. I spent a good half of my first year of college tied down by sicknesses. I had the swine flu, colds and sore throats once every month or two (lasting weeks), strep throat, and to top it all off I got Mono at the end of last semester (took literally months to recover)...
While I think I figured out the main cause of my poor immune system, I'm always looking for ways to stay healthy. I'm an extremely active and fit person, I eat a healthy balanced diet, and I wash my hands a fair amount. However, I used to be a serious nail-biter and my hands would often come in contact with my mouth/face. I decided this was the main cause of my illnesses (living in a dorm, I was basically hand-feeding myself germs...). After last semester, I decided to forever stop all nail-biting and hand to mouth contact (other than eating after washing hands). I have since then not been sick once (it's been about 3 months of feeling well, which must be a record for me...).
My goal is to be able to enjoy this year without all the sicknesses, and I think I am well on my way. I'm curious though, about what types of immunity supplements or precautions you all take in order to stay healthy?
I currently take daily multivitamins, daily vitamin C pills, and I recently bought daily Zinc pills (of course, a balanced diet and consistent exercise too).
I've heard things about antioxidant pills, vitamin B complex pills, fish oil pills, etc. Have any of you used these and would you recommend them?

I once saw them for £2 with a flier at the Pioneer club in St. Albans near where they and I grew up.
How were they?
Must have been a hell of a lot different than it is now, they're blowing up!
This vid gives me the chills, even though the sound quality is bad:

I have seen this before.
I view it as half-lunacy conspiracy.
While i have to admit, that i don't, and never will, support a globalist agenda, i find these movies amusing.
To question the validly of 9/11 is bullcrap. It is all made up by conspirators that wish things to be different. No matter how left you are, you could never assume that G.W.Bush would initiate an attack on his own country. It is bullcrap and will forever be.
As do i find the marionette "puppie" belief on Obama. Is their an elite in the world? Yes. Do i believe they decide on who to to be the United States of Americas next president? No.
I also find their mumbo-jumbo bullcrap attack on capitalism is of small significance. Capitalism is the best way, and at the very lest, no mad conspirator will ever change my mind on it. Which i won't.
I never would have thought 911 could have been an inside job, but there is a lot of undeniable evidence making its validity questionable. The fact that all the buildings (including a building that wasn't hit) fell demolition style is undeniable, you can see it for yourself. On top of that, the plane that supposedly hit the pentagon disintegrated from the heat, which is highly unlikely. The anti hijacking unit (forgot there name) somehow managed to fail that morning when they have NEVER failed before. There's people who testified that explosions went off BEFORE the plane hit the building. You cannot deny that there is questionable evidence that could dispute the validity of the "attacks". It's a matter of seeing past socially constructed beliefs about our country and having an open mind that there may be some people with bad intentions in power. Now this does not necessarily mean Bush is to blame. If you think about the people behind the scenes with IMMENSE power (big corporations/international bankers), and how they desperately wanted the U.S. to go to war for financial reasons, this conspiracy does not seem to farfetched.
The way we all think/act/feel is HUGELY related to our societal situations. We're all brought up with patriotism and told that our country is the best and we do things for the greater good (this applies for everyone in every country). To accept radical IDEAS (not facts) as plausible, you need to see past this and look at the grand scheme of things)
Sorry if that post didn't really make sense, I'm very tired at the moment...
-
I've seen both. I actually thought it was quite interesting, especially the money = debt bit. But I'd like to do some research before I believe much I saw there.
Quite a good film, though.
Yea, I'm not promoting this film saying "every word of it is true!" But a lot of it simply makes sense, and along with further research can provide some serious food for thought.
-
Have any of you seen Peter Joseph's films "Zeitgeist" and "Zeitgeist: Addendum"?
If so, what do you think of them?
Basically, the first film is a conspiracy theory film discussing the flaws in christianity, the validity of 911, terrorism, and the war in iraq, as well as the flaws in the structure of our monetary system (capitalism).
The second film further talks about the flaws in our monetary system including international banks, debt, interest, and big corporations. It then goes on to explain that our worldview is seriously flawed, and we need a major social reform. It proposes "The Venus Project," which is a technology and resource driven society.
You need to watch it to really know what I'm talking about. While it is an extremest perspective, and it may be seen as a form of propoganda, it really does make some good points about our global society and how much we have [bleep]ed up, as well as what our true potential is.
If you haven't watched them, I highly recommend it if not to believe everything they say, but at least to spark interest and thought about our world.
Here's a link to the main website where it will provide links for both of the films:

Heres the link to the venus project (resource based economy) website:

Meh the singer's scream and normal voice are both really generic, plus the electronic stuff isn't my thing. It's mostly the singer who kills it though.
Also anything is way better live, it's not really an argument as to whether a band is good or not. Just state they're a good live band or something instead of shooting people down with 'you havent heard them live' when they don't like the studio version.
You make a good point, however I somewhat beleive it to be the opposite. Technically, a studio version should sound better, and the bands live playing ability is based on how well they can match/exceed their studio quality. I know a lot of bands who have been dissapointing live because they can't hit the notes/screams and lack the musical skills displayed on their albums. However, if you don't like their studio songs you probably won't like them live regardless (unless you listened to them a lot, because they are a band that grows on you :wink: ).
-
To me they seem like 'Size wannabes that completely missed the point.
I don't understand your post, care to elaborate?
-
You had mike posner on your list, how is he? I keep hearing about this guy but I've never heard a song by him. Also, he's coming to play a show at my school this semester so I should probably start checking him out.
-
^^ no.
I would post an argument, but that's all that can be said. Nothing is original anymore, not even Gaga.
I beg to differ, there is definitely original music out there, and I'm still yet to hear how this band is unoriginal. But it makes sense that you wouldn't notice originality considering you think Enter shikari sounds like brokencyde (once again I'm not saying you need to like enter shikari, but you should notice a HUGE difference between the two bands regardless of musical preference).
-
After first listening to them a few days ago, I didn't like them so much. But for some reason I now think they're pretty good, must be an 'acquired taste' sort of thing.
Anyway, does it really matter whether or not they are original? I thought people listen to music because they like it, not because it's non-conformist or whatever.
No, it does not. However, the fact that they are extremely original (which they undeniably are) is a defining characteristic of the band. It is NOT what makes them good, but it adds to their character. I like plenty of artists/bands who are not original at the slightest, but are good musicians.
And they definitely are an 'aquired taste' sort of band. At first when I heard them I thought they were so-so, but nothing extraordinary. I mainly listened to their more popular songs, then when those weren't enough I downloaded their first album, and before you know it I know practically every part to every song on their discography 8-)
