How many of you frequent some sort of *chan?
Think I've seen you around there. As for me: currently browsing /mu/ as we speak. Gotta brush up on my knowledge of hip and cool bands yo.

Rise Against
I heard some of their new album and I was less than impressed, really. I'd heard a lot about Rise Against from various sources, and I went into their latest with pretty high expectations and I was let down quite a lot. I'll check out some of the albums that have been mentioned beforehand, though; as from what I've read, they were better received than Appeal to Reason.

Warped tour 2009
Na, screamo Which would be what most people consider emo. Most people means 99% of my school. :lol: well that's a stereotype. Most of my friends and I listen to that type of music and ALL of us are just about as far from emo as it gets. What is the different with post hardcore and screamo? Post-hardcore: Thursday, Dance Gavin Dance Screamo: Saetia, Raein, Envy Envy and DGD cross over between the two a lot, though. And I'm pretty much the same as Rahila. I like screamo/post-hardcore etc and I'm pretty far from being an emo or scene kid.

The Weirdest Dream You've Ever Had!
;o I once had one where I must have been taking hostages or something. It was in some grey building in some dull-as-[bleep] area, and I must have been chased by the authorities because I was holed up on the top floor with some hostages. And then, as the authorities or whatever they were raided the building, I escaped to the roof and met... a helicopter. And then I shot myself, and woke up. [bleep]ed me up good for a few days, did that. [edit] Also, I suddenly remember killing someone completely in cold blood in that same dream. They had just gotten in my way, I think, and I shot them to pieces.

Hartfield - Stand by Me Awesome Japanese shoegaze. Amazingly noisy and intense whilst at the same time retaining a dreamy, peaceful atmosphere.

Symphonies/Orchestras
The Cosma Euphonium Concerto is one of the best pieces I've ever had the honour of playing, when I played euphonium. I switched to trombone though and played the Hindemith trombone sonata a lot, along with the staple Rimsky-Korsakov concerto. Alas, I got disheartened and gradually stopped when someone told me "you're pretty sh*t for a grade 8 trombone player". I don't listen to classical music much anymore. It was the soundtrack to my childhood, though. I was listening to Mozart and Beethoven around the age of 6 or 7, and suddenly added a lot more to my collection when I hit about 11/12. Stravinsky, Holst, Rachmaninov and Schoenberg were some favourites of mine; and I really enjoyed studying atonality and serialism for my music course because I got to listen to stuff I had already experienced. Also: I was 2nd trombone in both a small symphony orchestra and a brass band, and principal trombone in a concert band.

Worst Song Covers EVER!
Any band that tries to cover My Bloody Valentine has their cover songs automatically added. Seriously, you can't imitate MBV.

Do YOU Pirate Music?
I find what.cd pretty useless unless you actually have stuff to upload, which I don't. I've had torrents sitting without seeding in my client for months now.

What's your favourite under-rated band (or song)?
Trouble is, there is very little stuff that I would classify as underheard.

Manga/Anime Discussion
To the Japanese learners in this thread (there are some IIRC): None of the colleges in my area do a Japanese course, so it looks as if I'm going to have to teach myself. What are, in your opinions, the best books to get? I know a few have been name-dropped in here and on /jp/, but their names escape me. It'd be a big help if someone here could point me in the right direction. I thought this would be the best place to ask.

Today...
Need I mention that I live in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere, yet, I have the best connection speeds of anyone I know? Going outside today was traded for a day of staying in watching anime and listening to music. [bleep]ing chronic depression returns when you least expect it to. I thought I was going on a good streak of a few days' well-being, but I guess not.

I don't know any fun and games AMVs, but maybe I'll post a couple of my favourite ones later. <-- OH YES I DO DISREGARD THAT: [yt]X3jtiH6WIRo[/yt] Finished up Myself;Yourself yesterday. It started off as boring as hell, but the middle-to-later epsiodes MORE than make up for that. A brilliant drama with a very cool ending, for once. Much better than the Kyoani weak endings of Clannad and Kanon. I recommend it to anyone who likes drama anime. Started watching Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha just now. It's a bit what the actual f*ck two episodes in, but it needs a bit more time. It seems enjoyabe though. Also resumed my watching of K-ON!, which is now officially the stupidest anime I've ever seen. However, it's so captivating and I can't stop watching it. F*ck.

How To Get Movie DVDs To Run on my Computer?
No. Double no. http://cccp-project.net/ is what I use, and I find it to be more efficient than both VLC and K-lite. VLC has some annoying problems for me, such as crashing when I try to play 720p/1080p H.264/AVC-encoded video (hell, not even HD - sometimes it just crashes ANYWAY), barely average support for soft subtitles and blocking after opening a video. K-lite is basically CCCP's bloated twin. I mean, it works, but I would take the lighter CCCP over it. Install it with the Media Player Classic option, and you should be fine playing DVDs. (also, it has an option to register file extensions with WMP if you want to use that)
