I put Cammy's music in the Valentine's Day thread because it came up there I'll put more up later

Oh God, that show was awful. Salute Your Shorts, man.

I'll bet you a one-week suspension they won't. Deal?

East coast mods Treble, Tom, and Kahran discuss bannings.

The West Coast/East Coast board rivalry has to stop.

Yeah, didn't this guy claim he invented a new shade of purple?

I've been too hard on Laz, since there are people here who visibly have more of a problem with me than he does. I just got upset over that depression thread, I think

Maybe you should seek your namesake

What's your excuse? By the way, I've come around on electronic music. not necessarily true not necessarily true

Good point, but on the other hand, repeatedly cutting away from anything and everything every time the guy had a plate appearance JUST IN CASE was going a little too far. Also irritating was the graphic going into breaks that showed the team's batting order going into the next half-inning. During this Giants-Brewers game: DUE UP: 2. Spivey 3. Helms 4. Overbay DUE UP: BONDS

Hi! Now we're talking.

Fair enough. I recognize the talent it takes to do that, but I'll just never be able to relate to the content or presentation of it. However, I will maintain that Kanye West was a poor choice for Hip-Hop Darling. Unh. Yeah. I'm certain that there are better people

Incandenza went off to listen to Kanye West rather than debate me.

How is this not a valid artform? What argument have you ever provided that didn't come off as the drool-soaked rambling of some fucking halfwit who reacts just because he doesn't understand it? "Drool-soaked." You're really going to bat for Cam'Ron and Jay-Z here. I'll concede that it's an artform; I mean what isn't these days? Rap is music the way figure skating is a sport. It kind of resembles it, it's presented as such next to all the others, but at the end it's really not the same thing because it's lacking too many key components. I mean, yeah, you have flow and breath control and all that, but all the other fundamentals that are present elsewhere are absent here. Chord progressions, counterpoint, tonality, harmony, none of that is really important in rap. Just loop some Kraftwerk or Parliament and you're good to go. In terms of musical merit, it ranks dead last behind almost every other genre under the sun. Also, its extracurriculars seem to take precedence over the actual art itself, which certainly does it no favors. I guess I'm just not as in tune with urban black America as the rest of you 18-24 white guys, though, so don't mind me!

In all seriousness, HOW DO I RESPECT THESE PEOPLE AS MUSICIANS

Wuh-oh.

Man, all this shit is like a modern-day minstrel show to me. Fuckin' novelty music.

What in God's name was THAT?

He's got better things to do. By this, I mean "more interesting ways to spend his time," and also "he takes more exciting drugs than alcohol."

Francis just went to New York. Oops

Them hate you much indeed Cave-Banky smash!

Man, I've been trying to use other characters, and I've realized that I'm actually not very good at this game at all. When I can't just suplex-jump-slash with Vega, or whatever the hell I do where I corner the guy and only use the L button, I'm fucking awful. I'm a fraud. a sham.

Probably functioning alcoholic, or just a plain old college student. Try taking it out of your life and see what happens, just as an experiment. Week, ten days, something like that. See if you're more irritable, all that jazz -Dr. Czech
