Thanks, that's what I get for not scrolling down. I'm really curious as to what all of these bands are going to pick. That's a great list.

chickswithdicks (November 10, 2008)

indeed, assuming they all actually happen that list is pretty impressive. i can't say i really liked any of the have up now that much..

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

I'm thinking that unless the Ergs! have a randomly recorded cover just hanging out, this one isn't happening.

MattRamone (November 10, 2008)

Actually, after thinking it wasn't happening, Virgil announced it WOULD be happening.

It'll probably be another version of "Only Babies Cry," but this time with egg shakers.

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

Sweet, surprising, but sweet. Odds on what the hell Off With Their Heads are picking as an influence?

MattRamone (November 10, 2008)

Either another Warren Zevon song or something else equally left field, like Randy Newman or Cat Power.

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

'short people' for the win. I was hoping for Manilow's 'we write the songs'

MattRamone (November 10, 2008)

If OWTH was doing it, it would be so fucking awesome.

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

Yeah, too bad what's in my head won't come to fruition.

I could cover it, but with my voice, it would sound like The Dead Milkmen more than OWTH

chickswithdicks (November 10, 2008)

beer or rage

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

I approve of both.

MattRamone (November 10, 2008)

Anger.

Pain.

Fear.

Aggression.

spoon_of_grimbo (November 10, 2008)

YES!!!! a spaced fan!

MattRamone (November 10, 2008)

Holy crap, that show is fucking aces.

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

I bought the box set but haven't devoured it yet.

kneel (November 10, 2008)

get on it now dude. one of the best shows ever. violet and i watched the whole series in like 2 weeks

VStoriesFallen (November 10, 2008)

I just watched the first disc. Can't wait for the second disc from Netflix.

Problematiclogic (November 10, 2008)

Damn straight!

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

It looks like something from Star Wars... or you are naming bands off of old Dischord compilations.

kneel (November 10, 2008)

i picked up a 'delicious vinyl collective' shirt at the subhome booth at the fest flea market.

its printed on a grey american apparel shirt, and i'll be goddamned if it isnt the softest, most luxurious tshirt i own. it fits a little too metro, but i dont fucking care. it feels like effing cashmere.

i'm thinking about hitting up their stupid disgusting store in chinatown sometime soon to pick up some plain black and white tshirts. blasphemy be damned

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

Yeah, I know what you mean, they are offensively soft shirts.

MattRamone (November 10, 2008)

Ha! Due to my beer belly they don't fit me right, so I never have to face this moral quandry.

kneel (November 10, 2008)

this one fit my shoulders/upper arm pretty gay like (high cut on the sleeve) but i'm constantly told by every girl i've ever dated that i look super-gay anyway.

i try to explain to them 'if you want to see gay, go check out my boyfriend'

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

I'll have to pick some up and show off the Calamari

chickswithdicks (November 10, 2008)

they're so god damn thin though, i think that's where a lot of the softness comes from.

Dante3000 (rich) (November 10, 2008)

I hate American Apparel shirts. They're designed to fit scrawny hipsters with no built and little beer guts (aka, the Elmo). Unfortunately, being that I have broad shoulders they either choke the shit out of my arms or hand down like a fucking dress. So awkward.
-Dante

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

I always picture you in dresses anyway, so it's cool.

Dante3000 (rich) (November 10, 2008)

But I want it to at least be a nice fitting dress, or one with a pretty floral pattern.
-Dante

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

Strapless sun-dress since you asked.

chickswithdicks (November 10, 2008)

agreed. my shoulders aren't that broad but i'm tall so i guess they're wider than the average persons and thus these shirts are essentially belly tops on me.

to avoid this i'd have to get like an XL but then i'd resemble one of those nu-skaters:

Hey_ska (November 10, 2008)

Oh god, is that how skaters dress these days?

Embarrassing.

MattRamone (November 10, 2008)

Web rip, anyone?

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

5.99 per 7" is a little steep, it's a great package though. Was there anything offered to get in on a 'subscription' kind of deal? If so, I totally missed that.

MattRamone (November 10, 2008)

Nope, but I totally would have been down for that, looking at that list.

kneel (November 10, 2008)

they are on emusic. at least the fake problems one is:

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

I'll grab those when I get home, I love emusic, my shit just reloaded too

Nameless (November 10, 2008)

Fuck yes!

chickswithdicks (November 10, 2008)

right click on the songs, for whatever reason i get a 'download song' option

edgelife (November 10, 2008)

it just opened up a quicktime player for me..

Dakotacore (November 10, 2008)

So, has the .org hit a new low in advertising? I just saw an ad for pizza hut. It just caught me by surprise I guess as I am accustomed to seeing mostly music related ads. Thought it was weird.

chickswithdicks (November 10, 2008)

i saw one for "emoquiz.net" this morning with a terrible graphic asking me if i was emo..

MattRamone (November 10, 2008)

I clicked on the link to fuck that band and it was actually fairly funny. The poorly done shoops are flawless.

Dante3000 (rich) (November 10, 2008)

I think the org just outsoucres their adds to Indieclick.com, they determine the content. So Indieclick sold out. Also, I use adblock on firefox, shit is mad tight.
-Dante

VStoriesFallen (November 10, 2008)

I haven't seen an ad in god knows how long because of adblock. It is a saint.

edgelife (November 10, 2008)

Gaslight better be a cover of "Born to Run"

baldsteve (November 10, 2008)

Fuck you, it's all about American Girl.

Strawberry_Panda (November 10, 2008)

Look Mexico recorded this Brandy song for this. It goes, "Brandy you're a good one, what a fine wife you would be"

Adlai_E_Stevenson (November 11, 2008)

Welp. Can't say I ever thought I'd hear a ska cover of a Fugazi song. Jesus.
