    I really like the first two of those and Catch 22's Keaseby Nights album, but I never really listened to much more of it. Oh, and Sublime if they count.
  2. Background from last week: [hide=]Alright, it's been quite some time since I've been here, but it doesn't really matter because all of those past issues are more or less resolved. Alright, this summer I started with marching band (drum line). After a couple weeks into the practices, I started liking my section leader (Amy). However, I just ignored it at first because I didn't want to make anything awkward in the drumline and I didn't really have full-blown one-itis, as well as the fact that she is a senior and I am a sophomore. In earlier August I started talking to her on the facebook IM, mainly about drumline stuff and music and other things, and I burned her a cd, which she responded to me the next day by texting me and saying it was amazing and that it "helped heal a broken heart," which she expanded upon eventually by saying that her boyfriend was leaving for college. This made me think that my chances with her would end up being rather small, seeing as she had a boyfriend and I figured I was friend-zoned after she told me something like that. We started texting more, and eventually home band camp started, meaning marching band practice from 9 am - 4 pm every week day this week and thus I was with her all week basically. However, we didn't really talk that much because there wasn't much downtime at camp. However, I started texting her still about various things, where on monday we began texting about texting. I mentioned that I didn't have unlimited, and jokingly added that it didn't matter because I don't have many friends. She then replied, "that's hard to believe that a great guy like you doesn't have friends." I clarified that I was joking and my friends just didn't have texting, but for the benefit of any advice givers I am generally shy and slow with getting to know people, but the fact that she said that seemed a bit strange. Then, err, yesterday happened. I was getting my band uniform fitted, and she randomly came into the room and asked me if I liked Swedish fish. On the way back home, I texted her and asked what that was all about and why she was at the school (people who were in the band before got uniforms and hour earlier). she said that she was there because of drama.i mentioned that I had been interested in that for a while, but I don't have enough classes to take it. She told me that she was close with the drama teacher and could get me into the play without being in the class and told me that I should do lighting. I asked what that consisted of, and she replied, "Lol heights lighting and me lol." I was rather surprised and replied that lighting might be more fun, to which she replied, "Lol I'd like that." Aside from this, I learned that she had dumped her boyfriend that day. By this point I was rather surprised, not really knowing what to expect at band camp today. We still didn't really talk, due partially to the fact that there really wasn't that much time in between playing and learning the show. However, as usual, I texted her afterwards, and she mentioned that she had just finished playing tennis. I mentioned that I had never really played it before (I'm bad at sports and don't really like them, thus I tend to avoid them; only one I have ever enjoyed was fencing). She mentioned that i didn't seem like a ports person and that's what she liked about me. Which brings me here. I like her a lot more now (though not one-itis level), and I'm thinking that I might have a chance with her. the main problems I can see are that it might things in drumline awkward (especially because the band is going to away band camp sunday morning), her being two years older than me, and my lack of, err, experience (never been in a similar situation or dated before). So, I guess the main questions are: does it seem like she likes me, and what do I do?[/hide] Alright, after posting this, most people here said i should make a move within a week or so. Seeing as a week has passed, I figured I should give an update. Basically, I didn't really make any more advances, and I really don't think I'm going to. I went to band camp thinking about how I should attempt to advance things there. There was a lot of free time and most of the drum line hung out together, so I spent more time with her in person rather than texting. After getting to know her more, I decided that I honestly would rather have her as a friend than try to make something more out of it and that I didn't really want to date her or anything anymore. However, wednesday was the day of the dance at camp. It was a lot of fun, despite the fact that I haven't the slightest clue how to dance. However, something sort of significant happened, otherwise I wouldn't be mentioning it. At one point I left my friends for a minute and was standing there, and she just came up to me and asked me if i danced. I was caught off guard and responded that I didn't know how, which she responded with an "oh" and walked away to rejoin some of her friends. After that I realized how stupid that probably was on my part and proceeded to mentally facepalm for the rest of the night. After the last song she hugged me, but I realize that that probably doesn't mean much to you people. Nothing else of that sort really happened on thursday or today aside from her basically convincing me more to join lighting in drama. I've basically decided not to pursue anything anymore because after spending more time with her I am fairly positive that she is not attracted to me and that any sort of relationship like that would just be utterly awkward. I guess things might change again, but I'm content with how things are now.
  3. Alright, thanks for the encouragement. Oh, and one more thing for now: I would say I would attempt to make my move quickly, but I guess I don't really know how to do that.
  4. Hm? I am letting someone else do it now, and I have already pmed them. I just didn't realize how much work band camp was going to be when i signed up for the list this week.
  5. [/hide] Latinoking hawkxs Erk02 StrOwez ANDME >.< You're on that list xD, you volunteered a long time ago when this first started up. And I have still been keeping the bottom of page 3 up-to-date.

  7. Alright, I'm really really sorry about this, but I don't think I'll be able to do this. I picked probably the worst possible week to volunteer probably, I've had band camp all week and have been too exhausted to do much else afterwards, and I can't push it back again because I am going out of town tomorrow. i figured it would be better to just skip doing it then make everyone wait two more weeks or so, so I've pmed the next person. Again, I'm really sorry and I should not have volunteered when I did.
  8. I'm really sorry, but I have to delay my list again. Band camp is taking up much more of my time than I figured it would. I will have it done by Friday though.
  9. My list might be a day or two late, my weekend/week was/will be very busy. Is that fine?
  10. The Gaslight Anthem - Sink or Swim (album) I can't decide if I like this or The '59 Sound better.
  11. Previously: Maximum the Hormone - Buiikikaesu A really good album that I took way too long to listen to >.>. Now: Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
  12. Brand New - "At the Bottom" Song rules, as will the new album. Next up will be Thrice - The Illusion of Safety. Finally clicked for me, and this might even top The Artist in the Ambulance for me.
  13. New Thrice album rules. http://www.myspace.com/thrice More people here need to listen to them. this disc has more of an alternative rock sound to it as opposed to their earlier post-hardcore, but don't be discouraged by that, they aren't a generic radio band, and Dustin Kensrue is an awesome vocalist. If you don't feel like listening to the whole album, check out "In Exile," "The Weight," and "Beggars," though the whole thing is gold.
  14. Don't you always complain about your family using the same kind of logic to tell you not to listen to Marilyn Manson?
  15. try Leading Vision. I enjoy the band, but not as much as most people on here seem to. Great List, by the way.
  16. :lol: The fact that you like other genres doesn't make it overrated. The fact that it's a band from the 60s and 70s doesn't make it overrated, the fact that lots of people like it and you don't doesn't make it overrated. The fact that you like it does not make it not overrated. The fact that you like it and other people don't doesn't make it not overrated. Is a band being overrated not a matter of opinion? the Beatles are generally made out to be the greatest band of all time. Range doesn't like them, thus he thinks they are overrated as he doesn't think they live up to said title, or anywhere near it for that matter. (This coming from someone who likes the Beatles and might put one of their albums on my list if I make it large enough, though I am no fanatic.)
  17. Fear Factory - Demanufacture (album) Really good stuff.
  18. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=786696 The album lists were supposed to be once a week every monday, and the person who does one list pms the next person who will post their list the next week so that everybody's list gets time in the spotlight and the forum doesn't get cluttered with lists as it is right now. However, since the lists came back, people haven't been waiting a week each time and have started posting without being pmed, leading to several lists a day. Also, the lists were supposed to be 30 albums minimum. Sorry if my last couple posts came out harsh or if it seems like I'm flaming.
  19. Umm, what exactly is this? Were you pmed to make the next album list? And would it really have hurt to add descriptions for the albums?
  20. The last two albums I've listened to were: Anata - The Conductor's Departure Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris Both were pretty awesome, and have gotten me back into Death Metal. I know I'm a little late to the party, but my next listen will be Gorod - Leading Vision (album)
  21. The Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame (album) First Jazz-fusion I've listened to, and I really enjoy it.
  22. I haven't gone ;) Nor me :P. And jaerk, yeah, that list is right.
  23. He specified that he only wanted to do a list of his favorite Death Metal albums rather than his favorite all-around albums.
  24. I never listened to any of his music 9though that will change soon enough), but i know how much he influenced the music industry. R.I.P. I'm afraid I can't provide a source, you have to take my word. If you can't provide a source then provide a reason, at least. He's probably just trolling you guys.
