  4. Reading Concrete JUngle ~ Rumour

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    back onto the subject tho...

    i quite like pulley, millencolin and me first and the gimme gimmes

    however..

    it seems once again download has stolen all the bigger names from reading..

    and they're perhaps just trying to put on whoevers left..

    but is that a bad thing?

    i think not..

    i want to see as many bands as possible this year who i havent seen before..

    so it should be all good

    :D

    maybe i'll try and follow rob around all day

  9. Why do you like your fave genre of music?

    in Music Discussion

    All I'll say is that Thrice are my favourite band' date=' and in accordance with the theme of this thread, I'll explain why.

    The structures are interesting, the guitar parts are a mix of pretty much everything good, Dustin Kensrue is a brilliant siger/screamer and lyricist and the drumming is amazing.

    The lyrics are very different to your standard emo "I've lost my girl" type pish.

    Overall, in my opinion, everything they do is intelligent, original and catchy.

    Go listen to "Under a Killing Moon" or "Paper Tigers" and tell me they are emo.[/quote']

    the day people stop labelling things will be the day that we stop having these "discussions"...

    hopefully one day soon

    but somehow i doubt that

    back to the point tho

    the boy calums right

    thrice aint no 'emo' band

    they could quite easily lay waste to a ton of metal bands (the only reason i like them is because of my love for metAL! so shhht)

    :finger:

  13. For only 2 measly bucks..

    in Music Discussion

    the x-certs were unbelieveable last night.

    Genuinely amazing.

    i was going to go.... no really.. i was..

    but alas

    i could not..

    (because i got dragged out with the women folk to the bassment)

    but gerold filled me in with all the details on the bus this morning

    so it's kinda like i was there... (?)

  20. Where should I go to University?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    i went to uni striaght from school when i stayed in reading

    i was in slough at thames valley uni

    nae the greatest place to go

    believe me

    so after 8 months of commuting from reading to slough 3 days a week

    and every now and again coming up to the deen for AUBL Nights

    it was after the last ever gig at the old drakes (or is that the old, old drakes now..) that i decided i no longer wanted to pursue the path i'd taken

    and i was going to move back to aberdeen after being away for about 3 and a bit years or something

    i lived in the burbs when i was growing up

    so going away and coming back and living in town was a big change anyway

    but i had the added bonus of having all my friends there.. although only a small number were people i went to school with.. more people i'd met through AUBL activities, going to gigs etc.

    and i've done a fair bit of travelling in my time so i've never felt trapped living up here

    - and i did plenty of travelling with my job for while

    so thats all good.. AND all my family live in the south so i have to go away every now and again

    but then i like it here

    there aint nothing wrong with aberdeen.. i feel safe.. weather good... ? ...lots of fresh air and countryside... waay cooler than living in a big smelly city.. surrounded by more big smelly cities imho

    so all in all.. do what you think is best

    if you decide its not best.. change your mind and do something else..

    tis your life after all
