That's what it needed...more bands.

vaginalinferno (January 29, 2009)

where? sounds pretty good

scorpiondeathlock (January 29, 2009)

lil wayne's "prom queen" just might be the worst thing ever.

baldsteve (January 29, 2009)

Lil Wayne is the worst thing ever.

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

He's a visionary.

Much like Hitler was a visionary.

Not all visions are good.

baldsteve (January 29, 2009)

Oh man, you can't play the Hitler Card, it just fucks up the game. Wayne is more of a dirty maggot infested dumpster. I can't possibly understand anybody wanting to spend time with it.

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

I know this girl who swears he's the second coming of Tu Pac, except she doesn't know who Tu Pac is.

I'm not sure I want to live in a world where someone who listens to any form of hip hop doesn't know who Tu Pac was.

Preston (January 29, 2009)

I like how everyone is acting like he is a genius with lyrics. My lady and I spent a night reading his lyrics and laughing how ridiculous they were...Oh I get it, he's using it as a metaphor...for fucking!

Dante3000 (rich) (January 29, 2009)

Maybe you didn't get the point.
-Dante

Preston (January 29, 2009)

Is that one the metaphors?

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

Sometimes you gotta take charge.

Dante3000 (rich) (January 29, 2009)

Yes...For a blowjob.
-Dante

Preston (January 29, 2009)

I'm still lost. So the blowjob represents society?

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

Close, it actually represents the oppression happening in every day society, especially with minorities and our failing economy. Who would've known one day we'd all be out of jobs.

See the 'blow' part is commentary on how the economy was seemingly carried away by the wind, away from minorities first, and then the rest of the class system. The job part is how now so many people have no jobs and are struggling to make ends meet, all the while Uncle Sam is dolling out Billion Dollar Bailouts, and not asking for one ounce of accountability in where that money is going.

Preston (January 29, 2009)

so job=job and blow=blow. What's the penis in this metaphor...and don't say me.

Dante3000 (rich) (January 29, 2009)

So....Are you gonna suck it or what?
-Dante

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

We all suck it.

It's brilliant, really.

badbrain (January 29, 2009)

He was good in Beverly Hills Cop

scorpiondeathlock (January 29, 2009)

lil wayne>rob aston

jacknife737 (January 29, 2009)

It's an audio abortion.

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

I'm sorry, GZA, Broken Social Scene, Against Me!, Good Luck, Propagandi, Bouncing Souls, Lucero, Strike Anywhere, the Flatliners, BTMI and the Grabass Charlestons?

I wouldn't even wear pants. I'd no longer need them. Ever. I wish I could go to this. Awesome bands, awesome benefit.

Strangely, theres something missing...

I got it. Needs more Menzingers.

Preston (January 29, 2009)

Work it Out!

More like "rub one out". That ass is jentacular.

"The event take place at the St.John's County Fairgrounds..."

Why do I see this like a rapper with a pose.
Where's it taking place?
"Yo the event take place at The St. John's County Fairground but the event take place wherever the event wanna take place!"
-Dante

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

You so racist, D.

Dante3000 (rich) (January 29, 2009)

I like to think of it as "race-zany". Like back in the day with Archie Bunker and people were all like, "Oh that Archie!". You know, it's cool to use racist terms if it's old fashioned.
-Dante

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

Throw in a couple of "meat heads" and you've got yourself a deal.

Those were the days.....

Preston (January 29, 2009)

According to the side of this website, tickets to this crazy event are 29.95.

baldsteve (January 29, 2009)

It's the best outdoor festival imaginable. It's still bands in the dirt and sunshine, so I have to pass based on personal preference.

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

If I had enough to fly out there, I'd sleep on the street. 30 bucks well worth it, and well spent.

badbrain (January 29, 2009)

If I went I'd just book a room at the nearest hotel. Fuck camping, that shit sucks unless you're in an RV

BarleyPat (January 29, 2009)

Camping is awesome you pussy.

BarleyPat (January 29, 2009)

I can't imagine a 29.95 more well spent. I'm insanely jealous that I can't make this.

coxxx (January 29, 2009)

I'm driving there from Tampa.
It'll cost more in gas than actual ticket price.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (January 29, 2009)

Yip-Yip is my favorite active band.

Or, atleast they were in 2007...don't know now.

dX927 (January 29, 2009)

I came into this thread saying "no one is going to mention Yip-Yip"

Color me surprised.

Dudley_Shale (January 29, 2009)

Is that a shade of burgundy?

Dante3000 (rich) (January 29, 2009)

I'm Ron Burgundy?
-Dante

dX927 (January 30, 2009)

It's very similar to blue actually

DreeeamWeaver (January 29, 2009)

the horns have been upped.

mechpope13 (January 29, 2009)

is the GZA, the GZA of the wu-tang clan? what is the genius doing at a punk/indie fest?

baldsteve (January 29, 2009)

Probably camping and hanging with Kool Keith.

nocigar (January 29, 2009)

Wow, I wish I could go to this. Tons of amazing bands for an amazing cause.

TeaEssAre (January 29, 2009)

seriously thinking about skipping school and spending a billion dollars to get down there

DrGunn (January 29, 2009)

meh, those lyrics are weak. not unlike clock radio speakers.

Jake358 (January 29, 2009)

Barnaby jones!
fuck yes!
everyone go listen to them.
best friends, best best.

MikeMoak (January 29, 2009)

stoked

AndyPonch (January 29, 2009)

Ha ha ha.....AND NOW please welcome Religious As Fuck to the Harvest of Hope Festival!

It would be equally as funny if Anal Cunt were playing this thing.

Oskorei (January 29, 2009)

saw Kool Keith at a Warped Tour many years ago...BORING! Would like to hear some of the Liquid Swords stuff though.

IanIsSuperRad (January 29, 2009)

Just made plans to go to this yesterday! Fucking stoked!

Pacoco (January 29, 2009)

RondoMondo (January 29, 2009)

14theroad (January 29, 2009)
