Heh. Always fun to pull stuff like that; but it's not that weird in my opinion, seeing as some of my 17 year old friends have had girlfriends around that age. If they were a year older though, it would probably be a little odd, but yeah.

Stars of the Lid's album The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid.

Motoro Faam's album ...and Water Cycles. This stuff is beautiful. It's similar to Kashiwa Daisuke and World's End Girlfriend - classical music which incorporates elements of IDM.

Needless to Say's album Bourgeoisie.

Beatles albums are perhaps too obvious choices for the lists? I don't know.

It really is a mystery why people seem to think you're a good poster. Yes, this. 'Manufactured pop' is fun. That's all I care about. Music doesn't have to require skill to be enjoyable - personally, I find playing triange or banging a tambourine quite relaxing and amazingly entertaining.

Ahmad Jamal's album The Awakening. I've been using some of my free time to get into jazz. It's really paying off. Jazz is a genre of music that certainly rewards patience.

ROUND TABLE featuring Nino's album Nino.

Best way to be. I wasn't trying to start anything, but I do lump westerners who call themselves otaku with the socially-deficient Japanese that also use that term.

I grew up listening to classical music, and for years and years I told myself I hated anything rock and pop. I was just as, if not even more, closeminded than you are back then. But the moment I heard a heavy metal song, I vowed myself to explore the music world outside of classical. Limiting yourself to pretty much one genre of music isn't good for your attitude. Also, Intriguing, How2PK and I all have rather different tastes in music and we all seem to get along just fine. You know why? Appreciation and respect. I can't really think of a time that any of us did what you did and called a collective pool of music bad. Don't get me wrong - I have certain bands I detest - but at least I try to explore the genre a little further before I decide whether or not it sucks. You see, the thing here is: none of us said that your music was bad. You said that stuff on MTV and anything modern was bad. You also hate rap, electronic music and country, with the exception of Johnny Cash. I think you have absolutely zero right to call anyone ignorant when it comes to music. I wouldn't mind so much if you had provided reasons outside of "this is garbage", because that shows that you've put no effort at all into trying a full album by any MTV/modern/rap/elec/country artist. You strike me as a person who will listen to one song by a band and then decide, which is very shortsighted and ignorant. Albuns generally tend to flow together and will provide you with a much stronger opinion of the artist's music than a hit single will. (Even if hit singles are designed to showcase an artist's style, they don't really work. Nothing captures an artist more than full albums they've put out). I think that you need to take a break from posting about music for a while.

Maybeshewill's album Not for Want of Trying.

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/07/1 ... struction/ This is why I hate otaku. This is why I hate weeaboos. This is why I hate Japan (to an extent). I sincerely hope that nobody here calls themself an otaku.

Blackbird Raum - Silent Spring

Pretty much anything by Leftöver Crack will really get me pumped up.

1) You're just another typical classic rock evangelist. You clearly know absolutely nothing about music beyond The Doors, The Beatles and AC/DC, yet you try to come off as if you're interesting. I'm quite sure that a few of the bands on MTV fall outside your frankly moronic stereotyping of modern music. 2) The fact that you know absolutely zero about music is enforced by the fact that you call all electronic music techno. Nice try. 3) Indie music sells quite well in the UK, actually. For example, Bloc Party is signed to an indie label and they seem to be doing quite fine. Again, this shows that you're trying to come off as a musical intellectual - in fact, most indie bands are indie or even self-released because they want to be, not because they don't sell. Broken Social Scene is yet another example that subverts your puerile analysis of indie music: You Forgot It In People was released on an indie label, and after Pitchfork reviewed it, it was selling out in all stores everywhere. 4) LOL I LIKE EVERYTHING EXCEPT COUNTRY AND RAP YOU GUYS! Oh wait, you're a troll and you're certainly not 21.

Never have I raged so many consecutive times when reading one thread.

Stamps and coins. Both collections have a value of somewhere in the thousands.

FTFX - Hey Teacher!

Usually I'm not particularly photogenic, (as some of you have probably worked out) but I think that this particular picture of me which I took some weeks ago is quite good. I'd appreciate it if this one got put on the index, thanks. [for the sharp-eyed: yes, I'm playing guitar there.]

Hey, that's pretty cool. Can't say I've had any TIF-related dreams, but the majority of mine are disturbingly trippy.

Whoa whoa wait, you're only 15? I thought you were quite a bit older. :lol: Why's that? Aren't the signatures childish enough for you? I just expected you to be 17/18, by the way you post and the way you act.

Whoa whoa wait, you're only 15? I thought you were quite a bit older.

This went almost impossibly well. I managed to re-establish friendships past and found that I still love playing instruments. Too bad I struggle playing trombone because of my shoulder, but I subverted that by playing baritone horn, which actually suits me a lot more than both trombone and euphonium. Now to take grade 5 theory and work towards my grade 8 practical...
