Oh, bad joke.

Someone (December 20, 2006)

I don't care for Days Away, but I'm surprised they didn't blow up. They have the perfect sound for it.

Someone (December 20, 2006)

you know, i didn't like um much, but they were great live, and have since grown on me.

Dante3000 (rich) (December 20, 2006)

What's with the staff trying to spice up the articles all of a sudden?
I know a few years back the site was a lot more opinionated in the stories but recently all the editors are cracking wise.
-Dante

Someone (December 20, 2006)

I don't like it

Someone (December 20, 2006)

me neither

Archangel (December 20, 2006)

Seriously. It ends up being funny 1% of the time. I prefer the objective stories and then staff editorials in the comments.

damnitsderek (December 21, 2006)

Aubin gets credit for that 1% with his "this guy" reference in the Oasis rawrs at Green Day piece.

rkl (December 20, 2006)

this is what happens when all you have to do to become staff is fuck someone.

Coldwaffles (December 20, 2006)

no man, that's absolutepunk.

Fuzzy (justin) (December 20, 2006)

All I'm saying is that Adam has a hairy back.

Dante3000 (rich) (December 21, 2006)

C'mon dude, that's kinda fucked up. I mean if that was true I'd be staff by now because Justin and I ....Anyhow, that's not cool.
-Dante

Someone (December 21, 2006)

you so funny

Aubin (December 20, 2006)

To be honest, we try to keep the joking to a minimum, but certain stories really do demand it. It was difficult for me to write a proper story about that Green Day story without bringing up the similar charges and it's nigh impossible to talk about that grocery store clerk with a straight face.

Dante3000 (rich) (December 21, 2006)

You know I'm just bustin' balls.
I thought the Green Day crack was pretty good (and the grocery clerk story was funny as hell) but I just seem to notice the jokes are up pretty recently. I blame Chris.
-Dante

Someone (December 20, 2006)

Since Scott left the site has started to take a more "absolutepunk.net" turn with the articles. Now there are jokes within them everywhere and joke bands like TEH REVOLT are getting full articles? I don't know how to explain it

Dante3000 (rich) (December 20, 2006)

You see, when Scott was an editor there was no need for additional jokes, as he was the biggest joke of all.
-Dante

Archangel (December 20, 2006)

That's funny because "biggest" works on two levels.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

The site has just gone to complete shit in the past few months. I'd say by summer, this place is going to have zero credibility

Someone (December 20, 2006)

I think everyone knew Kane Hodder was off FBR for some time now.

GlassPipeMurder (December 20, 2006)

go figure, dropping their best, but probably least popular band in The A.K.A.'s.

and Days Away was decent too.

it's hard for me to believe that Fueled by Ramen was once the label home to The Impossibles, Ann Beretta, and The Pietasters. It's nothing but trendy garbage now (see "Cute is What We Aim For").

Big_Guy (December 20, 2006)

Frodus, Whippersnapper, The Stereo

GlassPipeMurder (December 20, 2006)

THE STEREO! fantastic band, how could I not include them?

Someone (December 20, 2006)

frodus ruled

Someone (December 20, 2006)

frodus is great, shelby is talented as shit

Barkley

thebigtakeover (December 20, 2006)

"see cute is what we aim for"
they're from my town. It's terrible.
They've made people forget the better buffalo musical exports. Unfortunate, really.

Justine (December 20, 2006)

They're from Buffalo? Really? I don't like the band, so I don't really know anything about them.

At any rate, I'm from Syracuse.. and I don't know of any overly famous musical acts from my hometown... I suck.

Someone (December 20, 2006)

Earth Crisis/Path of Resistance/Freya are from Syracuse.

Someone (December 20, 2006)

was snapcase or was that buffalo?

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Buffalo

Someone (December 20, 2006)

You think THATS bad, I'm from Chicago and FBR does nothing but take the worst bands with the biggest shitheads, turn them over to good producers, and make gold from shit.

Seriously. Fallout Boy, Academy Is, August Premiere, October Fall... all shit bands.

The ONLY good band is the Hush Sound, and remarkably the only one that is actually able to play their songs live without "help"

El_Mugroso (December 21, 2006)

Alkaline Trio?

Rise against?

Someone (December 22, 2006)

You realize FBR had nothing to do with Fallout Boy, right?

Someone (December 20, 2006)

the hippos, limp, jersey

Someone (December 20, 2006)

It's also a shame they let Ann Beretta's first album go out of print, refuse to repress, and won't let another label take it for anything less than $10,000 and half of gross sales.

And people don't believe me when I tell them FBR cares about one thing and one thing only; money.

Someone (December 20, 2006)

get a job

Someone (December 20, 2006)

What does that have to do with anything?

usversusthem (December 21, 2006)

...

learning how andwhy busineeses operate, maybe?

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Yeah but punk rock!

And I have a job. FBR is a shitty label, and that's all there is too it. If they're not gonna do anything with it, why not let the band re-release it on another label?

Someone (December 21, 2006)

maybe Ann Beretta owes FBR like $20,000 or something. Not that FBR is going out of business anytime soon, but i (and alot of other people) sure as shit wouldnt let anyone re-release anything unless i got my investment back.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Last time I checked FBR owes Ann Beretta money.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Then common sense dictates you keep the record in print.

Avi (December 20, 2006)

Thats a shame, those are AB records are incredible

Dante3000 (rich) (December 20, 2006)

You know what else would be incredible?
Holding on to one of each color of those new Tera Melos 12" for me.
C'mon, you owe me. I...er...saved you from an unseen ninja assassin...Trust me, it's a long story.
-Dante
P.S. JUST DO IT!!

Avi (December 21, 2006)

Hah.. Sure! Or just get them at the Bottom Of The Hill release show. Speaking of, I saw you at some show and said "hi" but you ran up the steps to interview some Red Scare person or something like that -- I'm not entirely sure, lots of booze was involved.

Dante3000 (rich) (December 21, 2006)

Do you mean the show on the 29th with Desa or the one with Fall of Troy in January? Cuz I may have to totally be there.
As for the seeing me at a show deali, one of two things may have happened
1) I didn't hear you (cuz I've totally wanted to see you forever, everytime I mention I've interviewed Springman artists people go, "Oh, have you met Avi?", to which I must reply no. So you must be some kind of awesome).
2) If you yelled "Dante" chances are I really didn't want to find out who yelled it. Most people who I've met who recognize me from punknews are pretty cool, but once in a while (maybe only once) I've met a douche. So unless I know who it is (Toby ussually [and drunkenly] calls me Dante, and loudly introduces me as such), I ussually ignore the name Dante.
Anyhow, if you see me, feel free to punch me in the ribs.
-Dante

Someone (December 20, 2006)

I heard Ann Beretta is working with PoorBoy Records on doing a re-issue.

Someone (December 20, 2006)

This label sucks

PatThetic (December 20, 2006)

who wins

colbert or the decemberists?

i say
COLBERT

DISCUSS

Someone (December 20, 2006)

Colbert wins because he's the funniest guy on tv.

The decemberists win because they get a shitload of publicity.

Duh.

Someone (December 20, 2006)

bill maher is funnier and smarter than colbert

Dante3000 (rich) (December 20, 2006)

The Politically Incorrect dude?
First, not anywhere near as funny as Colbert.
As for smart, maybe he comes across more fact based but the satire that is woven in The Colbert Report is sheer genius. To be able to give a message that is based in right wing philosophy but comes across liberal (not due to an over the top manner mind you but by focusing on contradictions and lines of logic) is amazing.
As for Mr. Maher, he lost all credit with me when he said that no one could say the terrorist attackers in 9/11 were cowards. Then retracted his statement among a wave of complaints. I wouldn't normally mind this kind of a punk move but 1) he was right and shouldn't have retracted, 2) you're show is called "Politacally Incorrect", have some balls.
-Dante

Someone (December 20, 2006)

Thanks! I'm a contributing writer for the Colbert Show, it's nice to know that our efforts are paying off.

rkl (December 20, 2006)

if it weren't for maher, the colbert show wouldnt be around...

the daily show(w/ kilborn orig) was developed by comedy central to replace politically incorrect when maher jumped ship to one of the major networks

Someone (December 20, 2006)

but much less handsome.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Peter. Fuckin'. FRAMPTON!!!

Someone (December 20, 2006)

Do Make Say Think leaked.

Someone (December 20, 2006)

Unless that's the name Smoke Or Fire is going by now, I don't care.

woodandiron (December 20, 2006)

I like Kane Hodder. I can only think this will be a good thing for them unless they sign to Victory and start sounding generic.

Someone (December 20, 2006)

shit man the AKAs are one of the hardest working bands around, whether you like the music or not...
hope those dudes go on to better pastures...

Someone (December 20, 2006)

dont like the music

Someone (December 20, 2006)

dude, neither do i haha!! but hey, i still respect them for their work ethic.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

They won't, unfortunately.

jesusmess (December 20, 2006)

was kane hodder in jason takes manhattan?

Someone (December 21, 2006)

yea, he was in films 7 through 10... but got dumped for the freddy vs. jason crossover

un1tyasone (December 20, 2006)

LIFETIME is out feb 6th. not the 27th!

Someone (December 20, 2006)

who cares. lifetimes for nerds.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

I thought it was for women?

Jacktheskipper (December 21, 2006)

I don`t care, I want it and I want it now, more Lifetime is always good ...

Someone (December 20, 2006)

FBR is fucked!

Coldwaffles (December 20, 2006)

Fueled by Ramen signs bad band, drops over half their credible catalog.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

You realize that the AKAs, like Fall Out Boy were brought there by Island records in an attempt to farm team them, right?

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Not to sound too sexist or anything, but the girl in the AKAs is the hottest girl I've ever seen in a band.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

dude her nose is about 5 miles long. check a side profile shot sometime and youll see what i mean.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Not to sound too sexist or anything, but the girl in the AKAs is the hottest girl I've ever seen in a band.

GlassPipeMurder (December 21, 2006)

never seen her, but they're awesome.

Jacktheskipper (December 21, 2006)

Waiting for someone from the B9 board to reply to this ... haha ...

Rocktopus (December 21, 2006)

matt ski is a cunt

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Mike Ski?

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Yeah...Him too

Rocktopus (December 21, 2006)

Kane hodder had a good name....

but didn't live up to it.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

i thought they lived up to it, just listen to the lyrics.. I mean writing a song about the movie "Willow" that's fucking rad!

istapledmyfoot (December 21, 2006)

No "I guess the A.K.A.'s aren't everywhere!" jokes? That shit's still funny!

TrailerParkJesus (December 21, 2006)

It was up on the original article and people started bitching.

"The band could not be reached for comment on whether they were (In Most Places..)"

istapledmyfoot (December 28, 2006)

haha

Someone (December 21, 2006)

I thought Kane Hodder would have gotten bigger than they are, honestly.

They aren't anything crazy "original", but at least as a live act they had/have
a lot of Charisma and drive.

it'll be interesting to see which label they head to.

Someone (December 21, 2006)

Wanted: Band with balls and original, artistic vision.

Know any?
