  1. My mom had these. Just got her's taken out. Has helped a lot.
  2. If for some reason we aren't there yet when that time comes we've got contacts there with shops that would probably let her do a guest spot. She'll be honored that you like her work that much.
  3. Not on me, but my wife did this amazing Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark tattoo. And since I haven't posted any of her work in like a year here are some more she's done recently. This is the last one I got. This one is still in progress And here are some more cause why not. And lastly, a personal favorite.
  4. super broke but the price was too good to pass up on the weakerthans are fake problems records. thanks sir.
  5. If there is lots of something it must be a good idea! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090624114739AAgsZ2S
  6. nope, totally real... the question seems a bit asinine though. Top serious.
  7. You know what? I'm not. But there are tons of people out there who do. Lots of them on this board. One of them is barely fucking out of high school and he put a shit ton of his own money into getting Tigers Jaw's first album pressed. And I don't think you'll find too many people here who are stoked about VC's two month out pre-orders but because they know those records are actually coming out they'll pick them up. Saying "I love this album so much that I'll put it out... as long as it isn't a risk" is indicative of the lack of real passion that's plaguing music right now. Passion by committee isn't passion. Pledging 19 dollars for an UF record, one I like, and getting stickers and shit for the privilege of helping you not go into debt is bullshit. A sticker isn't an excuse to charge someone more than a product is worth to off set your risk. It's something lots of labels who actually believe in what they're releasing just throw in as a way of saying thanks for supporting what we put out.
  8. Wow... you mean you had a real label experience? Putting out records is a risk. Art isn't based on sure things.
  9. I understand, I was just saying that no one here who was discussing him even mentioned that the appearances were technically a breach of contract. they merely wanted to demonize npr, which they perceive as too liberal, apparently. Ah got it. Sorry, I've been dealing with listening to moronic fools the last two days who can't be bothered to read an actually news source about the story. The best part? NPR gets about 2% of its funding from the government and none of it is direct funding.
  10. they all thought that it was absolutely ridiculous, blaming it on npr being too liberal, with one repeatedly lamenting 'it's so unfair, i don't understand. he wouldn't even hurt a fly!' because obviously one's propensity for killing/maiming/hurting others has everything to do with him getting fired. i can't even argue with people like that cuz it's not worth it. No, I mean NPR has a standard that says you can't go on other shows without their permission and even if you have it you can't editorialize. It's designed to keep them from ever coming across at opinion journalism. Dude has been doing it anyway for a long time and it finally bite his ass. And I'm a fan of Juan. Dude wrote a great book about the civil rights movement. He should probably go re-read it.
  11. lulz. today some of the attorneys were discussing that juan fellow who got fired from npr for his remarks about being afraid of 'arabs' on airplanes. one of them asked me if i was afraid if i got on an airplane and saw said 'arabs'. when i answered no, i more or less got called crazy, and they attributed the craziness to me being a different generation. i attribute my crazy to not being a bigot. Juan got fired for breaking NPR's journalistic code of ethics and by proxy his contract.
  12. Which is why the retirement age needs raising. As does ours. Granted poor people die a lot younger than people with means so the good news is we'll be paying out less in social security to older poor folks who will still be required to pay for a retirement large numbers of them will not be able to have. That totally makes more sense than just removing the cap that says we can't tax income over 100k for social security. Wait...
  13. Thanks dude. I really appreciate that. Thank you as well. It would be amusing as hell if he actually read it.
  14. High school me is really excited that the drummer of Thrice read my Kanye article. http://twitter.com/rileybreck/status/27942849824
  15. www.the1stfive.com We're about to put out a mixtape that's going to be pretty bananas. I have no idea how it came together as well as it has but I'm really stoked on it. It's not something I've produced but I'm pretty proud of getting out of the depressed slump I've been in the last few months. Finally not feeling sorry for yourself is awesome.
  16. Towards the end of Mammoth Press we started having the exact same problem with them. They only care about you if you're bringing in tons of revenue but you can't bring in tons of revenue if they're constantly fucking up the ads. This adds an exciting element of social Darwinism to advertising on the site. I'm cool with it.
