  1. What kind of person goes to that forum and racks up hundreds or thousands of posts arguing with the flat earth people that the world is actually round? Either the flat earth person is an elaborate troll or obviously not going to be convinced otherwise.

    I would extend that sentiment to the entire board. As in 'Either the flat earth board is an elaborate troll or obviously not going to be convinced otherwise.'

  2. The first single was 'Movies', it was re-released after the success of 'Smooth Criminal' with a new video. Actually, there are 3 different videos for 'Movies', with the 3rd being the bigger budget one.

    Yeah, the fact that the label paid to re-shoot a big budget version kinda proves my point that the label wanted Smooth Criminal to be the lead single and Movies to be the follow-up.

    We're really spitting hairs here, though. My point was that most people only know them from the cover, but they had good songs that went largely ignored by the mainstream populous and their label had no small part in that.

  3. Surprised no one has jumped on pressing 3EB, Counting Crows, or Blind Melon. They have such high demand on eBay.

    I'm not a fan of Kid Rock or AAF, but the difference not stated here is Kid Rock had a hit before he did a cover. AAF did a cover of Michael Jackson and have never had a successful song written by themselves. I like the cover but no substance outside of it...anyone can make a hit from a Michael Jackson song.

    Yeah that was the label's decision. The first single off the album was supposed to be 'Movies' IIRC, but the label wanted it to be 'Smooth Criminal' instead. Which sucks because that is basically what cemented their one-hit-wonder status. In terms of their early stuff they had some damn good songs. 'Movies' was one of them.

  4. I've been playing through the entire Mass Effect Trilogy. It's awesome. I'm a little bit into the 3rd one now. Can't recommend the entire trilogy enough for anyone who likes RPGs/Sci-Fi

    I just downloaded the online multiplayer add-on for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game ... I wish they hadn't waited so long to put it out, there is never anyone in the lobby. I have 1 friend who also has the game but I dunno if he's gonna shell out the extra $5 for it. I wish more people would get the add-on but the game came out a while ago...

    I dunno, maybe it's just me, maybe it's because I go on at 3 AM and the rest of the western hemisphere is sleeping.

  5. I'm trying to figure out how to start a band with 0 talent

    I know a few people who have done it. I think they spend more time 'networking' than anything else. They definitely aren't spending any time practicing, that's for sure. They just keep chipping away at the social networking thing and constantly plugging their 'band' (I use that term very loosely). 7 years later they have ~300 fb 'likes' which is not bad, all things considered. You should hear the shit.

  6. I figured it was implied when they requested $50,000 to record their new record.

    It's not only make a record, but also to manufacture physical media and ship.

    That being said, yeah $50,000 does seem steep. I have contributed to very similar projects before... they were seeking money to record, manufacture and ship.

    They asked for $6000, raised $7000, made the record and ended up losing money after shipping all the stuff out, I believe in large part to international shipping costs. At least they made an incredible work of art and came through on the rewards.

  7. I messaged Dan from Second Nature a while ago - there wil definitely be NO repress/remaster for TAAS records in the near future..

    Dude I am 100% positive that they announced a remaster of This Is Meant to Hurt You was in the pipeline. Unless it got canned... fact is it was in the works, of that I am 100% certain... and if you still doubt that... You can see it straight from the band themselves. Dated July 6th 2012. Look:

  8. There's a Danish guy on Discogs who seriously wants 190$ for a gray copy he graded Fair/Fair. Shit's ridiculous.

    I have a NM grey... don't know that I'd sell it unless the offer was right as this album is really nostalgic for me, and it took me a while to track a copy down.

    Now that it's being repressed I'm almost certainly keeping it unless some die hard is hunting variants.
