Free Energy (ffo Thin Lizzy, Weezer)
dangerdave replied to goraiders's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Their album has some great summer jams. -
My comment about Madoff was simply taking the previous statement to its logical extreme to show it didn't make much sense. Virgil is not Madoff. I figured that was obvious, but I guess I need to spell it out for you. Please, try to fit a little more condescension in your posts. The situations are completely different.

Do not sleep on this band, so fucking good! Cannot wait to hear the new album.

according to everyone posting here who was owed money, up until this point (and by this point i mean the thread where tre flipped his shit finally, and rightfully so, in my opinion), he was ignoring all emails and other correspondence regarding paying back said people who were owed money. apparently, he had time to arrange a beer tour, and to post a collector of the day every single day without fail, but not to answer an email regarding something important. no, he does not owe me money, but yes, everyone should be disturbed that he was treating good respectable labels with such little regard. maybe he's trying to right his wrongs now, but it almost seems insincere; like it's only happening because of this huge backlash on the messageboard. and to the people who think that you shouldn't say anything unless it personally involves you, if the whole world was full of people like you, nothing would get accomplished. few positive changes happen without social consciousness and caring about those outside of your bubble. and for the record, i don't know him personally and haven't had any problems in my dealings with him or VC, but i do find the personal insults that bring his family into this to be very distasteful and reprehensible. I'm aware of that, but that's also just people posting here. VC does not represent every single label that exists. None of us can truthfully say that he ignored absolutely everyone. Negative experiences also are going to be talked about more than positive ones. Really, who's gonna post a thread about being paid finally? And I'll agree with you on your second point, I'm really not trying to deny that he's done shit wrong, no one can deny that. It just gets really goddamn annoying when people drag it into every fucking thread. And again, NONE of us really know other than the people involved. If stuff comes to light that shows that he was making zero effort to every person he owed money to, then yes, i'll retract what i'm saying and agree with them. Also, it's not that people who aren't owed shouldn't say anything, it's just that they shouldn't be the ones talking shit in every thread they can. It just seems like they take a weird sort of pleasure from firing shots at Virgil whenever they can and I find that extremely odd. This whole situation is just dumb and I hope everyone gets whatever they're owed and people can stop being assholes.

Are you seriously going to use this argument? Bernie Madoff swindled billions of dollars and planned on doing it the whole time. Of course you should call out his practices and character. Virgil ended up in debt and is paying people back when he can. A ton of people are in debt in this country, does that mean we should call of them terrible people and assume that they have bad character? And anyways, does he owe you any money personally? I really want to know why you're so intent on painting him as a bad person. I have no personal stake in any of this, I'm just really curious. Sure, he owes money, but there's evidence that he's paying people back, however slow it may be happening.

the great mac vs pc debate!
dangerdave replied to lonesomexloveus's topic in Everything Else Message Board
I still don't understand why people buy direct from the manufacturer. I mean, I understand wanting to customize, but if you look through TigerDirect or NewEgg, you can find some pretty high end prebuilts for cheap. I was just looking and for the same price as the lowest end 21" iMac, i can get this computer and this monitor which is pretty mindboggling. So saying Macs aren't a lot more expensive now is still funny to me. I mean, I'm biased since I'm a PC guy, but I don't hate on anyone who uses Macs unless they're high and mighty about it. Whatever, really. -

PC with a 25" HD monitor, wouldn't trade it for anything. I want to upgrade my graphics card, but don't have the cash right now. :/ -

La Dispute - Somewhere at The Bottom (2nd press)
dangerdave replied to daniel's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
All of the vinyl copies I've seen don't say La Dispute on the front. Mine is the same way, including having more of a green tint. -
