Yeah you haven't had him in your head, waking you up by going "YOG SOTHOTH LUUUUURKS" and then giggling like the immature brat he his for the next two hours while YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO SLEEP! And no, I don't want to go feed the Old Ones, they always nip off part of my fingers and I know where that's leading.
That's not important, the fact is that any sound can be incorporated into music. Where we draw the line on what is an instrument or not depends heavily on semantics - how is it being used? Throwing something down the stairs deliberately could be considered music because it was intended as a creative act or orchestrated in graphic notation but that doesn't mean that when you drop something down the stairs everyone should gather around and clap.
That group has been using the Fight Club soap for ages, just like Project Mayhem. It's not like Project Mayhem was the first crew to think up associating Fight Club with raves. It's been a long time since the film came out.
I'm never taking Xanax again. I couldn't do shit all day and sucked at work. Plus there's this nagging desire to do more. Already. I've only taken one and a half of them in the last two days. Fuck. This shit is BAAAD. Doesn't put me to sleep either. Good old hammer. That should do it. Only side effect is slight mental retardation. Fjga euGha kd.
Blake is so teh ghey, yeah that's right, diss one of the only original electronic musicians in town...
Precociousness is an awful pandemic and parents love to encourage it. Back when OM festival was in its heyday, there was this crazy hippie woman who would take her little spoiled brat to all the festivals. This kid would come up to you and say shit like "that's not how you do poi, you're doing it wrong!" or "mommy's off fucking some guy she just met" or "let me show you how to roll that joint", "this ecstasy is bollocks", etc. Her mother, meanwhile, was rolling around naked in the ambient stage/space, rubbing herself. It was pretty disturbing. And everyone thought that the little girl was cute. I personally was hoping she'd die of dysentery from bad vegan food.
As for using the turntable as an instrument, the pioneers were not scratch artists and this isn't the only way you can make music with them. In the experimental and electroacoustic community they are rather commonly used to create soundscapes, and the first to do so was John Cage, back around the 30s. So really, one of the first applications of two turntables and a mixer was to change the pitches on sine wave recordings.
Wow Meg, you just found yourself an easy way to make cash. Start a website consisting entirely of your avatars and charge these guys money so they can have the creepy pleasure of shunting the custard truck to your photos. KA-CHING!
Ah shit. I first drank at 8, the whole thing that is without any problems (slowly too), and I think it was my current favourite, the gin and tonic. Before that my parents were pretty responsible. I got to go to a Gowan concert I think when I was around that age. Before that I was fairly sheltered. I personally would have liked it better if I got to eat Kraft Dinner every day like all the other kids, had a box to shit in, and was selling rock on the streets, but I mean, not everyone feels jealous of that sort of poor upbringing, I guess I can accept that.

If I remember correctly you see the fnords and you are suddenly enlightened, able to see the headlines and articles for the b.s. they are.

But no, it's a bit out of context. It was a response to the title of the thread. See thread filled with political ranting for more suitable application of term.
Admit it, you're jealous. You wish your parents had given you beer at 3 and started you on weed at 5, deciding to have that bonding ecstasy trip with you around 6 when they bought you your Stantons and an Allen-Heath just to start on. You wish you'd been born on the dancefloor at Twilo in the middle of a foam party. C'mon.
Fuck man, all I ever had to say about this party (I stopped reading after I realized it was going to be a drama novel) is that it had the worst name ever, and that was enough to get me to avoid it. Why can't you guys give things fucking killer awesome names like "Severe Internal Haemmorhaging" or "Malignant Cyst", it's way more apt.
Go to university or college and aim for a career. At least that way you'll feel a sense of purpose, theoretically, and it will prevent the nausea of work. Either that or work on getting grants from the government for arts projects or business start-ups. Or just get into crime. Or put up with shit jobs (ie Dishwasher, Gofer, Fluffer) until you get the jobs you want (Chef, Sound Engineer, or Porn Star).
Nah, I asked him for coolness points and he spat on me and told me I had to move. Well... not really... that's sort of a stretch. He needed to spit and I was blocking the sink while I was moving out of the apartment plus my mouth was full so he kind of misunderstood it but (yo Noah, hook up the points, they aren't proportional to my ego yet).
Shit man, what started all this? Can't you guys see what's inside the Economist's pages? It's a book full of the word FNORD. I seriously don't know how all this could have erupted over discussion of a page full of sentences ending in FNORD. And every word of every sentence of this protracted arguing has ended in FNORD. Can't we all just get along stick and walk softly with it?
And please define "proletriate" and "bourgousie". Your essays are going to give the T.A. a nervous breakdown with all the typos, run on sentences and poor grammatical structure
But I guess this is the interneett and all that is
and I may have to drop whatever course this is you guys are discussing this for, be it: "Colonialism for the Colonialized", "Bias in Mass-Media and its effect on Consensus Reality", "The Fallacy of Dualistic Political Thinking", "Argument for the Sake of Argument"... I dunno.
Btw Basdini I know Adrienne well and she never picked sides, especially not socialism. Where did you get that from? I read everything she had to say and it analyzed both sides of the coin rather equally, if there is indeed a coin, and if that coin is not in fact three-sided. You say left/right, and we say "UP UP AND AWAY!".
Whatever. How much speed fuelled this thread anyways?

Inevitably this will inspire arguments that I am little more than a passive-aggressive agent provocateur with a penchant for stirring up total chaos. But discord dancing is the nouvelle vague and we are its surfers.
And what is there in the world sexier than a saboteur? Only your mother knows.

And she probably thinks that the Globe and Mail sure has a great crossword and that the articles are at least very well written. You can always trust a person with a proper education and grammatical sense. Or can you? I am not to be trusted really, I'm almost 30 so maybe I have a few months to go (59 days left) before you have to put me in that weird spinning machine like in Logan's Run or I'll have to run for it and find some bizarre icicle cave under the citadel. Obscure I may be but at least I make no pretentious statements on topics of global economikkks (sic). I only know that we have been lied to since our birth, hence the very foundation of our ideology will have to be usurped and re-evaluated before we can rise above the filth like Uberhuman Zarathustras and beckon forth the new age. Until then, everything to me is a sign of imminent collapse, and I'm not even shocked anymore by atrocities. The end is nigh, and it won't seem like a revolution. It'll seem like the abortion of a very sick fetus.
