Copper Feel

I had seen Guitarist's avatar long before he adorned it. I think it was my avatar on a forum for a while even. That doesn't make it any less hilarious though!

There comes a point where reasoning is obviously pointless. Anything beyond that point warrants a banning.

Chris did drunken elephant noises? Hoff was more influential than I'd presumed.

I don't wanna be a Food Folder.

Czech just took the concept of photoshop to all new levels... my mind is truly blown.

I shall probably see it, but I'll have to familiarise myself with the previous Indiana Jones movies first. I learned my mistake with Rocky Balboa last year.

"Fuck' wit Dre Day (and Everybody's Celebratin')" would be perfect for an Obama video.

Marvin's use of the ellipsis is a pet peeve of mine. The fact that he consistently makes the exact same mistake is mind boggling. Has nobody ever corrected him?

Does anybody know what number we're on? I have a legitimate reason for thinking that the WWE folder has homosexual tendencies and I would like to share it with the world.

Are we ready to dub Marvin the "winner" yet?

Yeah, I can remember these things really vaguely, and Superman is what immediately springs to mind. I also remember that the ying and the yang were popular drawing material amongst the primary school crowd, but atleast that's an obvious reference.

That merits an elaboration, courtneywasmurdered. Here's a relevant yet wacky aside: C-WM is now filtered.

If fan interaction at professional wrestling shows counts, then I once high fived Mick Foley. I gave him the thumbs up right afterwards, and he looked amused. Fuck, how have I managed to come across as a total dork everytime I've seen a famous person?

My grandad just had another stroke, oh shit. After the effects of his last one (slurred speech, limited mobility, weight loss) I hope that they won't repeat themselves.

You should be very concerned.

Yeah, go with the first day. Dan the Automator is easily my favourite artist on any of those bills. Plus, The Kooks snap under the weight of their lack of musical ambition. I suppose they're okay for trouser arousers. Brighton, lol.

I only know four of these eight posters.

What? Don't you have ginger hair?

My knee dislocated when I was 10 because a 126 pound kid in my class fell onto it during the course of a playfight. All of my other dislocations have just come whilst I've been walking. That's kind of odd.

Anthony Head came to my secondary school once to talk to my drama class. He was really cool, even laughed at my really lame nervous jokes about Amazon and Ebay. Sadly, I eventually lost his autograph. I met Chris Jericho once, that was pretty cool. Well, not really actually, I got really anxious there as well. My mum had to ask him to talk to me after I made four attemps to muscle up the energy to do so myself. He's really short, I was only about 5'9" at the time and I still towered over him. I said something along the lines of "I'm a big fan of yours from England", which sounds really dorky, but still, he laughed at it. This happened at some big theme park in Florida that I can't remember the name of, by the way.

Gah! Is the time difference working against me here? To be fair I've only heard War and The Joshua Tree from the U2 discography, but still. NWA - Straight Outta Compton (1988) Hip hop is fast proving to be a popular choice in this here competition. Knowing the general tastes of this board, I thought this was a more urgent pick than some of my other favourite albums, although there are two that I'm not so sure about. Anyway: onto the album itself. Sure, this is a polarising release in some ways, since gangsta rap would probably not exist on the scale that it currently does without it, but still, contained within are several of the finest rap songs ever penned. Whilst Dr. Dre's beats would become even greater in the earyly 1990s, there's a certain funkyness to these numbers that contrasts with the humourously misanthropic lyrics really well. The opening trifecta of "Straight Outta Compton", "Fuck tha Police" and "Gangsta Gangsta" is quite possibly my favourite threesome ever, each one building into even more of an angry state until the groovy refrain of "If It Ain't Rough". "I Ain't tha 1" is possibly the most misogynistic thing ever, and it's all the better for it. Of course, the most important thing about any rapper is his ability to rap, not to write, and Ice Cube and Mc Ren are in top form throughout. Seriously, Cube's delivery is subliminal and Ren's flow is pretty addictive itself. Easy E is the only real genital wart on here, but he does provide some goodtime comedy through his attempts at rapping. Oh, just to mention every member (and because I should anyway), this album was also produced by Dj Yella, I'm not sure what effect that had on the record since I haven't heard any other release he's been involved with, but still, the production here is really good, so I presume he's a good producer. I have an aside as well! "Parental Discretion Iz Advised" is awesome.

I both wish that I hadn't heard of him at all, and am perfectly content to not have an "overall familiarity with his music". Erm... I liked I Am Legend.

I'm not sure if Marvin is using reverse psychology or not, does he actually want to win this? If the trophy is made of banishment, then I shall keep voting for him regardlessly.

He didn't contact AIDS through breast milk Jingus.

I recently found out that a dude who I previously had no strong opinion of used to look at child pornography when he was about fourteen years old. He recently saw me and commented "you fucking retard". I restrained myself in order to keep my composure against the greater desire to expose him as a paedophile that such a situation inspires. What a cunt.
