I told him to wake me up at 8:30 if I wasn't up by then It was 1:20 when I got up What the shit
I bet this song makes him break down and cry.
There once was a man named Jesus Christ, who was king of the Jews. He had fish, bread, and wine beyond your wildest dreams. Before they crucified him on the cross, these were the final words he said: "My religion is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first. I left everything I own... in One Church." Does KHV approve?
I am totally
Invisible, inevitable. King I am. Birds sing; clouds rise. I'm vague as dew. Watching them suffer from the tide pulse. Sneers at me. Worthless as the sun above clouds... Look at you!
DARPA is creating androids http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-02/darpas-mad-vision-create-kill-switches-inside-immortal-synthetic-organisms Well, this is it, folks. We are officially on the threshold of Isaac Asimov's vision. Personally, I agree with the biologists who are claiming DARPA has a bad attitude about this; evolution is not something with which to be tampered without extensive forethought. After all, in the past this line of thinking has introduced pesky and deadly species to areas they really shouldn't be, reduced the quality of life of domestic/farm animals to ridiculously low levels, and protected dangerous diseases and disabilities (not to say we're not in the right to try and protect people with these problems, of course). That said, given the specifics of the project, I wouldn't resist it too fiercely, as it could have beneficial applications. I just shudder at the thought of this turning completely into a weapon. Your thoughts?
I looked around for this and didn't find it. I think this has been touched on in other threads, but not outright answered. If it has, disregard/lock/etc. Spoiler Why exactly is it that neither Terranort nor Xemnas can use the Keyblade? It would make sense that they could, if not for Xehanort's ability, than for Terra's. Did opening his heart to darkness weaken it or something?
on Halo, I was playing with my friends and I got a Bubble Shield. And then I got the most amazing idea ever. "Guys, stand back." *tosses* "YOU WON'T STOP A TRUE HERO."
This is a thread for general discussion of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and the veritable sub-culture of music that revolves around him and his many projects. This includes, but is not limited to: - Omar Rodriguez-Lopez himself (solo albums) - The Mars Volta (his current band) - At the Drive-in (the ashes from which The Mars Volta was formed) - Zechs Marquise* (a band of which some members are immediate family of and are inspired/influenced by him) *Please note the difference in spelling: The band name is Zechs Marquise, and the character's name is Zechs Merquise. (The pronunciation is the same, however, and the band did name themselves after the character.) Omar RodrÃguez-López From Wikipedia: In a nutshell--and it's a difficult thing to put his unique style in one--RodrÃguez-López is an experimental savant, dabbling in nearly every form of music that's ever been described as unorthodox (usually in groups of two or three per song). He is far more unrestrained in his solo works than in his work for the band The Mars Volta, which is somewhat more thematic. Much of his work is influenced by a classical Latin style, as per his background, and a variety of psychedelic drugs. A comprehensive discography of his works--and there are an assload--can be found here. He also has a website entitled Omar RodrÃguez-López Productions. Below are some samples of his work, from the album Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus (2008). Spoiler Unfortunately, the Youtube versions of these songs are not very good quality. Just bear with me, and give the real versions a listen if you like what you hear. "Hands Tied to the Roots of a Hemorrhage" "Sex: Consolation for Misery" The Mars Volta From Wikipedia: The Mars Volta is probably one of my favorite bands ever, if not my very favorite. They bring to the table a lot of things you'd expect from contemporary post-rock, adding to it their Latin-jazzy charm, and their execution is nothing short of flawless. The only thing I can honestly gripe about is the genre-wide complaint: The singing can grate on one's nerves a tad. The lyrics, however, are inspired, albeit making System of a Down sound like a children's nursery rhyme; They could probably suffice on their own as course material for a musical-psychological analysis class. The discography is here and the website is here. Samples of their work below, from various albums. Spoiler "You Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt" "L'Via L'Viaquez" Yes, they do sing in Spanish. It's damn awesome. "Goliath" Oh, and as a little bonus, see if you can find the 8-bit cover of "Roulette Dares (The Haunt of)" by renowned chiptunes artist Anamanaguchi. It's pretty amazing. If anyone finds it, I'll post it here. Also, The Mars Volta released a click-escape horror game called "Goliath: The Soothsayer," allegedly based on their experiences with a Ouija board they picked up in Jerusalem. This experience also served at least partially as the framework for their album The Bedlam in Goliath. You can find the game here. (I doubt I need to say it, but it's not for the faint of heart. Although it's not the cutting edge of horror, it can be pretty damn scary, especially if you buy into the story behind it.) At the Drive-in From Wikipedia: To be honest, I don't have any real first-hand experience with At the Drive-in; I never bothered to look up their stuff. From what I can tell by reading the article, they sound pretty similar to The Mars Volta, just more hardcore. Anyway, discography's here, and they actually do have a website, which is here. It kinda looks like they're planning on putting new stuff out under this name. Is this band still active? I really have no idea. Zechs Marquise From Wikipedia: The above is not very informative... Basically, Zechs Marquise is The Mars Volta, only softer, more psychedelic, and without singing. If you dig the style but dislike the abrasiveness of The Mars Volta, or you just want to hear more along the same lines, these guys will do you right. They are much newer, and as such their discography is only two releases long: the "34:26" EP and Our Delicate Stranded Nightmare; and their website is still under construction. I'm really surprised I found any of their stuff on Youtube, but here it is. Spoiler "Chase Scene" "Sirenum Scopuli" Well, no one can ever say I don't try to lay a solid foundation. Now what say we get a little dialogue going? Share your favorite tunes, tout the superiority of At the Drive-in over The Mars Volta, ask for help with Goliath: The Soothsayer, etc.

I just noticed I can edit usernotes. ... *begins writing out Seekernort's endgame monologue*
Spoilers, because something tells me not everyone wants to hear this. Spoiler In my dream last night, I watched a girl get dismembered and raped, and I didn't do a thing. In fact, I may have helped.
or does this song make you want to SAVE THE FUCKING INTERNETS? ...You know what, let's give this thread an actual reason to exist. Post songs that make you want to SAVE THE FUCKING INTERNETS.
It's the coolest thing ever.
I am the king of it.
could use some of Light's swimming lessons.
There is only one answer. [What is love?]
I was gonna post SOMETHING... What was it...
