you guys don't get the point. it's supposed to be about snakes on a motherfuckin plane, nothing more n othing else.

samuel l. jackson signed onto this because it's called snakes on a plane. they tried to change it to something more hip, mysterious, and less juvenille-- flight 212 or something. then samuel l. jackson said he would quit immediately if they did that.

seriously, it's a movie about snakes on a plane. pretty much the most ridiculous premise and screenplay, and yet it's passing because it's so ridiculous and doesn't pretend or try to be something great. it's snakes on a plane, what more do you want?

so it's not fashion related. but i think this seriously deserves a thread of it's own.

snakes on a plane. samuel l. jackson at his finest.

AUDREY TAUTOU!

pretty good for beater pair. i got a grey pair and blue pair and pretty much wear'em around all the time. the grey one had a few loose threads for a while, but then stopped and definitely isn't getting any holes/falling apart.

didn't like the k patch on the back pocket, so i used a stitch remover and took it out.

if you have a local skate shop nearby, i recommend going and trying them on. they're made specifically for AR so they have a specific size/cut. i guess i'm about the same size as the dude.

personally i like gildans and fruit of the loom best 50/50 blends. they're cheap and print quite well.

anyone know a place to order AAA? i like their fits a lot but have only gotten them through band merch etc.

Collectable Card Games!!! 24 style!

i think it has tinges of it. it is a pretty nice graphic though-- it does become a pity because most of the nice threadless shirts are the ones everyone seems to be sporting (i really love the pandamonium shirt, but pretty everyone and their mom rocks that shirt now)

i'd say COB is more like black metal. a little less viking and dragons than some, but still pretty black. still love hate crew deathroll.

yum

i like how every other item has the keyword "emo" in it.

found that picture a while back on a DIY clothing community.

being anti-scene is just being more scene. you fall into the trap no matter what you do.

just like what you like and leave it at that.

i like some ridiculous music and i don't intend to apologize in any way for it.

in some ways i feel the artists are trying to make a statement similar to that of PETA... which is funny because their methodology is definitely out of synch.

ugh-- this sorta thing reminds me of the PETA anti-Jcrew-fur-activist-videos. anyone see the live raccoon skinning one? i never cared for fur, and that video ensured i never will.

truth be told i was trying to find that ridiculous photo of that kid who tattooed the luis vuitton marks on his forearm. he also "blinged" out his phone with the VL. kid lacks style in my opinion, but he's happy, so i guess that's what counts...

baroness and mastodon. caustic christ, municipal waste, and baroness are playing ont he same night. plus there's a concert earlier... can't remember who though. some solo artist who picks at metal guitar strings and makes this eerie discordant drone.

right now i'm feeling some pelican and some CSS (as in web design...)

basically the worst movie i've seen all year

in my mind i've begun to relate hip hop and krump dancing to hardcore vs. the general punk movement. in a lot of ways you can see similarities, pockets of kids gathering and becomign disillusioned with their area and the mentality a lot of the kids have fallen into. there is a digression from just "anti-establishment" and instead a need or want to create some kind of community.

it is a bit of a stretch, but i think there's a lot more connections and parallels than a lot of people realize.

as a whole i still love hardcore. i can't say that i was around during the 80's, scene during the 90's, and i don't even call myself straight edge. but why should i have to to be, in order to be able to enjoy something? why should my birth year or my ethnicity, or my clothing, any of it separate me from what i like? that's what i hate about hardcore-- that closed minded centralized structure.

i think as a whole i just hate stereotyping and labels. i understand the psychological responses to "schemas" and what not-- but there's a huge difference between being an asshole and being a human.

man i'd kill to be able to spend a year sorting through his random vinyls. and rip it to a harddrive...

i believe this is a high school band playing his stuff... the snares are a bit loose but aside from that it's a pretty bang up good effort. it makes me admire conductors.

strangely all of my friends like the other album, dead cities, red seas, & lost ghosts better.

i really like how cheesy and saturated the synths feel on before the dawn heals us. always reminds me of blade runner.

glad to see quite the few people resonating similar tastes (glitchy autechre, aphex twin, drone khanate and sunn0))), liking the finntroll video, city of caterpillar, chain of strength, red sparrowes, joni mitchell, go team.)

..........

really been into death from above 1979 of late. can't stop listening to their bloc party cover, Luno.

yeah, i hit the nu-metal trend right when i was in middle school and at the most influential horribly ridiculous phase of my life.

i was a tool in middle school.

oh man, gwar as a first album, that's some good stuff. they've come here twice and i've missed it both from external situations. still... maybe there's next year.

to take on things into a different perspective

music has trends, ups and downs, and eclectic all-overs just like fashion. think of a band like a designer... i mean it's not much of a wonder that abercrombie and hollister go hand in hand with pop music. it's a form of expression. and sometimes a lack thereof

in my mind i try to stay open minded about music. in a lot of way i like to be the same about fashion. i mean yes there's a certain type of music i gravitate towards, and a certain look i head towards, but i think there's a large parallel between how someone dresses and the music they listen to. i mean, we still put our pants on pretty much the same way as they did a century ago. in that ways fashion is still similar and so is music. the good news i'd say is that nowadays there's no one specific style or one specific music genre that really defines and characterizes our decade. as a whole it varies from year to year, where there's the boyband boom, the discovery of "pop emo", "indie" becoming the new cool, gangster rap, or the latin craze. all of these happened within a few years of each other and in some ways at the same time.

however i think that if you become dogmatic about one thing-- whether it be fashion, music, or *coughreligion* then perhaps you fall into a dangerous category. that's for a whole nother topic and debate though.

bouncing around to lightning bolt. spring break is pretty much here.

booyah screamo!

changed directions. went back to lightning bolt. i feel like spazzing out. spring break has started and i've just finished pulling 2 all nighters and 4 hours of sleep in 3 days.

assassins - lightning bolt

just got some orchid and ruination.

sounds pretty nice. if it has a slim fit, i'm even more interested
