  1. Ha, what a great game. Just got back from GM Place. How grand! My first game of the Playoffs, and it's game seven.

     

    First period was really meh; they weren't relaxed at all and the Stars managed to get a goal to slip by. Second period is where we came on strong...the puck was in their zone basically the entire time and Henrik managed to even it up with a quick one past their goal. Third period was great, real intense, and Linden's goal really decided it, and the Canucks just kept up their aggressive plays. Those extra two open net ones just sent the crowd wild...

     

    Next up, the not-so-mighty Ducks. No idea how it's gonna go...they really impressed me with their first series, but then again, they do not have Roberto Luongo. Who knows.

  2. The Fab Four are excellent company on the morning commute. Helps wake me up and get me in a good mood.

    I tend to listen to a lot of acid jazz in the early morning, specifically the Brand New Heavies and Brooklyn Funk Essentials. It just gets me alive and alert. Though lately I've been leaning towards more rock-oriented Steely Dan.

     

    the Floyd - Wish You Were Here

  3. Ah, I love that song. Thanks for the suggestion.

     

    Beatles- Mother Nature's Boy

     

    I think what I least enjoy about working with teenagers is their musical taste. For instance, all-around weirdo Roy, who is seventeen, likes such generic pop-punk bands as Fall Out Boy, but says he dislikes the Beatles because "all they ever sang about was love". I cried a little inside.

     

    Sadly this is true of most teenagers, a group I am still part of, much to my dismay.

     

    Mark Lanegan - Wish You Well

    Man, one teenager listening to Mark Lanegan makes up for one thousand teenagers listening to My Chemical Romance.

     

    Modest Mouse- Little Motel

     

    Can't get enough of this song. Very melancholy, very quiet...very nice.

  5. You guys are seriously in a rut. Get some new music, even thinking of listening to this much of Afghan Whigs makes my ears bleed.

     

    The Afghan Whigs rule, heretic.

    No such thing as too much Afghan Whigs. Plus, it's not a rut if we listen to many other artists as well...the Whigs are just a favorite.

     

    Modest Mouse- Missed The Boat

     

    Nice song.

  6. In my convenience store (Town Pantry; B.C's finest), we're all allowed to play whatever station we wish as long as it's "customer friendly". Usually turned into Rock 101, for me, and every customer I get seems to enjoy whatever song is on currently. Pink Floyd weekend=the awesome.

     

    Zappa- Willie the Pimp

     

    incredible musician.

     

    Edit: Any leftover guilt I felt about not buying Modest Mouse tickets when I could have is completely washed away as I just learned that the legendary and personally worshiped Jethro Tull are coming to my area this September. Not only is this incredible for me, as I love them, but Draken Senior is also a huge fan. Me and the pops seeing Jethro Tull live could quite possibly be the most Field-of-Dreams-moment we could ever experience.

  7. I went dressed as a ninja to the second one. I wasn't entertained and therefore broke everyone in the theatre into six hundred and thirty two pieces simultaneously, and then scattered them throughout the realms, all in half a millisecond.

  8. ^ Eldar

     

     

    That was one of my favorite running gags on the forum. It was from back when everybody and their brother was claiming they had alt accounts. I think it started when Eldar revealed he had an alt -- but neglected to identify said alt. So everyone turned into a suspected alt of Eldar's for a while.

    Oh yeah. That's my second favorite repressed memory of this forum.

     

    The first being Drafette.

  9. The problem I have encountered with people who like their new album is that I don't know what others to recommend them. It pretty much blends the different styles encountered in "The Lonesome Crowded West", "The Moon & Antarctica" and "Good News For People Who Love Bad News".

     

    I usually end up recommending Good News For People Who Love Bad News because that's how I first got into them, and is probably the most accessible. The Moon & Antarctica is the most well-reviewed and generally considered the best, whereas The Lonesome Crowded West is probably their weirdest, most spiteful work.

    Hey, thanks for that suggestion for Good News. I checked it out, and it's really quite good; basically more of what is on WWDBtSES, which is excellence. Blame It On The Tetons is beautiful.

     

    Modest Mouse- One Chance
