As long as men and women's roles are largely seen in terms of uneven predator and victim with regards to sexuality this will continue. So (I'll assume you are a man) you better stop waiting and get out there, and if you are a lady yourself same advice.

What really irritates me about the whole courting process is the fact that I'd really like to no longer play the role of "victim", but whenever I try to change that, the guys get disinterested. So I have to play hard to get. WHICH I HATE.

I heard they skipped out on putting out the '59 Sound just because they really wanted to put out an album of telehraphrocks jerking it for 23 min.

That was the plan, but I wouldn't record at Atlas or Motor, so no dice.

Also, my comment above really isn't "anti-Gaslight Anthem" (as I do, in fact, like them), but it's more "shut the fucking shit up about Gaslight Anthem already".

in my yearbook, there was a section where everyonevoted for favorite and least favorite things, and that included comedians. Dane Cook was botth our classes favorite and least favorite comedians.

SloaneDaley (June 2, 2009)

A large part of comedy is delivery and in that case Mr. Cook is certainly enthusiastic BUT when you listen to what he actually has to say it is some of the most stupid shit I've ever heard. That being said most people don't listen to what anyone has to say so I can see where that figure in your yearbook came from.

But look at where they were 4 years ago, recently signed to RCA and talking about "changing the world" and the music industry. Now they're releasing an irrelevant album that nobody's talking about on a label with a reputation for signing has-been bands. I'd say that's a big drop in a short period of time.

3. Terror State
4.New Kind of Army
5.Bright lights
6. Die for Govt.
7. Mobilze
