You should all check out the new Mellincolin album "Machine 15". It is more pop-punk than I have heard from them in the past, but it is a masterpiece.* The band is from Sweden, so the lyrics don't always match up or make complete sense, but that adds to the charm. It may take you a few listens to really feel it out, but I highly recomend it!
*My opinion from only listening for a few hours. However, it brought me out of a really bad funk that I have been in the last few days.
Sorry, the site where I got it was shut down. myspace them!
First of all, Dan, don't worry about glass floors and flying rigs and any other insane demands that Laura makes. She's very much gone crazy. (Though she is right on that you fist-pounding a Jaguar is pretty decisive.)
Your conditions are just fine with me - we'll clear your queue* of all other contents (is this alright with the rest of you 208'ers?), and Joe has already agreed to learn the Candyman dance and recreate the video.(You Tube won't let me embed it, but you can see the video here: Candyman Video. Please notice the fact that the dance is really a very small part of this video, so recreating it will involve lots of other weird crap, I'm sure (which means gaurnteed fun).
With Laura's addition of free ribs, how can you say no???
*Dan's queue items that I can remember: -Build a Lightbulb Room -Build an arcade box that plays every game -Clear all contents of the queue
Mootzy, if you make the lightbulb room, no matter how shitty (within the constraints listed below), I will shave my head, buy a white suit, and recreate this music video. Note that Maria will be very upset if I do this - she has specifically told me NOT to shave my head on multiple ocassions, but I will still do it. I will post the video to the internet and everyone will see how great you are. The only constraints are:
1) I must be able to dance inside of it (size-wise). Dancing on knees is fine.
1a) I'd really like it you danced in there with me, too, and maybe other 208ers, so big enough for a couple of people would be ideal, but not necessary.
2) You actually have to make it (you can't just like hang a lightbulb on your wall and call it a day). This requires some sort of structure* to be built. *This is defined very very loosly. A stiff breeze could blow this thing over and I wouldn't care.
3) The lightbulb room must have at least a ceiling and three walls. Each surface must have at least three lights on it (though, really, a few more lights would make a big difference).
4) At least two different colors of lights
5) You must, by even the most basic of means, be able to flash different lights on and off.
In exchange for you constructing the lightbulb room, I will come to the lightbulb room and bring Pat and Laura (plus do my damndest to get Glen there). I can't gaurntee Caps, but who knows?? I am also ready to offer these incentives:
1) We will have fun
2) I will buy you dinner and drinks
3) I will also make you a t-shirt that explains how great you are for building a lightbulb room.
4) Remember, I'll shave my head and recreate the music video.
5) I know you've basically heard all that before, so here's the real kicker: Joe was supposed to memorize the dance from Christina Aguilera's Candyman video and he never did. If you agree to build the lightbulb room, in addition to the incentives offered above, I will enter into seperate negotiations with Joe to get him to memorize and recreate that dance for us. I promise we will spend entirely too much time and effort on recreating that video as well.
If these terms are not acceptable, please post with what you'd like!!
OK, so I have always appreciated video games, but never really took the time to get into them. Pat's generousity of letting us get to know You has made me...well, addicted (if only for a few hours at a time).
From pounding the drums to doing 6-on-1 guitar...you are the game for me. It is a good thing I don't own it, because no one would probably ever see me again unless they were in our living room. Also, Pat, you should be sure to tightly lock all your windows and doors...
Secondly, mixing You and 45/55 Pop Rock Drop Shots is a thrilling, dangerous and fun experience. This is a ridiculous mix of Mountain Dew, Orange Juice, Vodka and Pop Rocks...also chanting is not optional.
Basically, these brief experiences have made me want to be drunk on calcium infused orange juice whilst playing guitar or singing 30 Seconds To Mars. I want to be a Rock Band hero/junkie.
Love,
Laura
PS--Can you do anything about the neighbors?? Sheeeeeeeeeesh.
