D) all of the above


as long as there is formulaic commercial shit, there will be an underground. when the so-called underground artist goes platinum, another dirty unknown artist will create a new extreme in music, and rise up. and so on...

it's true that undrgrnd can be about style, but it's also an ideology.

and being 'underground' (a fine buzz word :P ) is only pretensious if you flaunt it...

Bush who?

the link doesn't work for me...but it's mos def an interesting subject...where do you draw the line between popular and underground? and does exposure make a style of music not-underground, or does it just make the underground music have a larger fandbase...

i like to differentiate betwen famous and infamous, though they basically mean the same thing (see: flammable and inflammable) but there's a slightly different connotation to each...example: a pop artist who becomes well known is famous; an 'underground' artist who becomes well known is infamous.

i like to think that there is still an underground, and until hardcore and industrial and noise get played on mix 96 and becomes as commercially viable as britney spears, it's still underground.

either way, it's the type of theory that's near impossible to prove or disprove.

maybe there should be a album sales limit, like: you sold more than 100,000 copies of your album? you pop-star motherfucker! :P

haha!

yeah, you have to do 'community service', which entails only writing posts that are 'pure WIN' for three days...

here, an advert for an advert :P ...

get yo' hardcore rewire promo mix:

[ www.rave.ca ]

non-hardcore promo mix available in Clown's profile...


ps. i hate advertising

ha!

my theory is that goa died and it's zombified corpse came back as psy...in other words, not much of a difference, though i THINK psy is a little darker and more complex...but it's like a non-hardcore kid trying to figure out the diference between gabber and hardstyle ... .. .

i'll leave the details to the trance experts ;)

ok...well, there's Black Magik tonight (check the calendar for details), and Rewire5 on April 11th will have a psy etc. room and a hardcore room too...besides that, i'm not too sure, but you should check the 'Nightlife Events' section, that's what it's there for! You can also try to check your fav psy DJs profiles, to see when their next gigs are... .. .

good luck getting your groove back ;)

ps. there is no goa scene, it got replaced by psy :P

barf simpson or ralph wiggum? :P

i say barf, ralphing seems more painful, and it's harder on the throat...

skip-rope or hop-scotch ?

present

hahaha!! in that case, i won't wear any pink :P

yeah!!

total speedcore debauchery? yup...i'd even say that's an understatement :P

hahahaha!!!

the only time this exception should ever be made, 'cause a dictatorship is still better than a dick-tater-ship... :P

:P my intelligent liquid metal kills yours non-sentient liquid azote:

i'm not exactly sure how he'll kill it, but i'm sure the t-1000 will find a way :P

what's the difference? :P

i'll go with: doing nothing

-39 degrees, or +39 degrees?

for some bizarre reson, i have that terribly lame song ''i can't live no more, if livin' is without you'' in m y head... get it out of my mind!!

yeah!! alright!!

this is gonna be so fun... good thing i still have time to come up with a mask, and find something pink to wear (wut, are you surprised i have no pink clothes in my closet? :P )

disclaimer: following video was taped live (vidcam audio), so the sound is pretty crappy... but it's still wicked!
can't wait to have Gen & Matt back in town partying with us...



yeah, baby...

the only cool thing is that with all the scarves, everyone looks like a Cobra soldier:

i know...though i don't imagine the dog's nuts...i do feel really bad, but he doesn't seem to mind, in fact he tends to want to stay outside... .. .

either way it's still fuckin' cold...

yeah well, it beinng relatively warmer than other cities doesn`t stop my eyeballs from freezing over, colin :P

ok..not too bad then...

i know you don't dig the tv neko, but y'know i need my multimedia :P

nice, they're pulling the canadian plug on my birthday...

so, cutter, i`d still get the normal channels? like cbs, telequebec, rds, ctv etc...

i was wondering why i hadn`t heard all about on tv and stuff, but figured they had to keep it on the lown down, not to cause widespread panic :P

I`m not a big fan of TV, but i do watch the Simpsons and the Daily Show regularly, plus it`s accessible and free, and `divertissant` like they say in french. sadly, it also keeps me (nintendo/tv generation) company in my wee appartment when i`m by myself...

However, now apparently, with some sort of HDTV agenda (claiming quality control), the big wigs are going to cut out all siganls in a month or so so that normal TV antennas will no longer be able to pick up stations, even CTV, Global, and CBS + the local french stations; which i guess means people will be forced to buy into cable or sattelites...

So, my questions are:

1. is this true?

2. wtf!?

if paper money grows on trees, coins grow on bushes :P

yeah no shit...i'm taking care of a dog at a friend's place, and have to walk him 3 times a day...freezin' my nuts off!

plus i have to head back very soon...i'm not looking forward to going outside.

to make matters worse, tonight: -37

yay!

apparently we're breaking record lows not reached since the 1950s...

no worries:

thought that was called 'getting slapped' :P

*dialing*

'' yeah, hello, i would to order some good times...uhh...yeah, I'll have the trio...uhh, hmmm, what are my choices?....yeah...ok, then i'll have a root beer. thanx ''

does it count if i high-five your palm with my face?

that lion just high-fived his own face... :P

!!!

:P

²calms down with another bowl*

btw, did the cold deter you from your partakage plan?

lol...yeah, been watching the tryouts too. it`s just funny, but not as much as before...doesn`t seem as honest as it used to, if that makes any sense...

quoi quoi?

then you`re both lucky AND smart. ;)

(btw, my sarcsm meter is malfunctioning, i couldn`t get a proper reading on your response :P )

hahaha!

seacrest is still less annoying/stupid than ben mulroney.

orca whale

consider yourself lucky. or smart.

...and the shit hits the fan.

...i will not partake in that.
