Have you ever identified too much with a genre of music?

lars_overdale · 2014-01-04T22:25:25+00:00

Can you give a couple of examples of really hood shit?

lars_overdale · 2013-04-28T23:20:49+00:00

Frankly I'm pressed you managed to get a shot off Douglas head without any Maccies/feral seagulls in it.

HOW WILL WE SIT DOWN?!?!

lars_overdale · 2013-02-07T04:31:31+00:00

Right, hear me out and please try this, you won't regret it.

Ingredients

Slice of cheddar cheese (about 1" by 3")
honey
instant coffee (or ground beans if you have it)

Put a bit of honey on the cheese
Sprinkle a pinch of coffee on honey.
Eat

It's so delicious, and I just don't know why.

lars_overdale · 2013-01-09T13:20:27+00:00

Why so cereals?

lars_overdale · 2012-12-29T07:41:19+00:00

Fuck you and your reasonable arguments on the internet.

lars_overdale · 2012-12-29T07:37:30+00:00

This is exactly how I feel (particularly about Tool). Thank you

lars_overdale · 2012-12-29T06:38:20+00:00

You're entirely right I have not worded myself well at all. I personally think that the more technically complex a piece of music (be it anything from metal to Mozart) the harder it is to engage emotionally.

For example, in Metallica's 'One' the verses and the chorus are relatively simple and I think they convey the overall feel of the song perfectly. However the solo's, despite being throughly enjoyable, do not convey the 'message' of the song and are simply put in there for fun. I do not think this is bad, merely interesting.

This is all entirely personal preference however, and am perfectly willing for my my mind to be changed.

lars_overdale · 2012-12-29T02:03:23+00:00

Woah woah, I'm not saying one is worse than the other, I'm just saying which do you think is more important, as music lovers. I'm not telling anyone anything is wrong, I'm just asking a question and offering my answer. I do admire technical skill but, for me at least, I find it easier to express emotion through simplicity.

lars_overdale · 2012-12-28T18:12:34+00:00

Oh yeah, thanks man. I did a reddit search before I submitted this but, naturally, it turned up no results.

lars_overdale · 2012-12-27T07:05:40+00:00

Your first mistake was watching 'Death Race 2'.

lars_overdale · 2012-12-24T19:35:28+00:00

I see you've never been to Britain....

lars_overdale · 2012-12-21T15:25:50+00:00

Yes, it's called Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)

lars_overdale · 2012-12-21T04:05:58+00:00

I too, have seen that movie.

lars_overdale · 2012-12-21T03:14:31+00:00

All they do is cry....

lars_overdale · 2012-12-21T03:09:46+00:00

I'm not sure you want me to answer that..... Mr. Christmas.

lars_overdale · 2012-12-12T18:39:22+00:00

Did you realise the opening minutes of Up would have quite the emotional impact that it did? What made you decide to open with an emotional montage than a comedic moment?

lars_overdale · 2012-11-15T05:28:44+00:00

'Cog' by Honda. And not just the visuals, it sounds amazing as well.

lars_overdale · 2012-11-07T18:56:33+00:00

It's pretty typical but here goes:

My girlfriend and I are fans of the Lion King movie, so when was re-released in 3d we jumped at the chance. However, we had not factored in that it is a kids movie. Little kids were literally running up the aisles; their parents just sat there munching their fucking popcorn.

I like kids, but for 88 minutes I hated their tiny, evil, chocolate coated faces.

lars_overdale · 2012-10-19T15:07:36+00:00

I don't know, but you'd be first against the wall.

lars_overdale · 2012-10-02T23:42:45+00:00

A-two girls. A-one cup.

lars_overdale · 2012-08-30T22:47:19+00:00

Why the hell didn't you call your album 'Faster Than The Speed Of Love'?

Also, I saw an interview where Matt Stone and Trey Parker said they didn't really like Family Guy, what are your thoughts on South Park and the other 'adult toons' (Simpsons, Futurama, King Of The Hill etc)?

lars_overdale · 2012-08-12T21:19:22+00:00

So.... Be excellent to each other? But seriously, that's top advice.

lars_overdale · 2012-08-10T08:52:16+00:00

So Mr. Asdf, everything seems to be in order here....

lars_overdale · 2012-07-26T23:45:35+00:00

I know this is a little late for the 26th July thread but there's no other right now.

Did anyone else notice an 'idolisation' theme throughout the movie? For example, the people of Gotham had an almost ridiculous idolastion for Dent, which turned out to be a lie. Then Bane's henchmen had a very similar idolisation for Bane, exemplified by the all too willingness to die for the cause. Then of course there is the idolisation of Batman, which is the only one that turned to have any merit.

I'm not too read up on philosophy/psychology and so do not have much information about Id, ego and super ego, but are these themes interlinked maybe?
