animal collective is for ballers. you need not apply.

if being a baller involves listening to terrible, self-indulgent noise experiments disguised as "arty, challenging music," then no. i am not going to be applying for baller status any time soon, thanks.

That sucks man. I never recommended a specific program though, and roms couldn't crash your computer. I doubt even an emulator could. Hopefully you scanned everything single thing you downloaded for viruses, like I do.

Haha I'm not actually blaming you. Idk. That computer has been crashing every 4 months and then I get it fixed and it happens again and again. Sucks.

Better than getting an emulator for your computer, you should get an old x-box from gamestop for like forty bucks and get it modded that so it's got all the nes, super nes, geneses, game boy, n64. etc. games on it. It's nice because it doesn't mess up your comp and you can play all the game on your tv. Plus. soft modding is pretty easy.

will do, except that there is no way that i can ever convince my wife to have a threesome with her, it will never ever happen. she's really cool though, her favorite band is against me! so if you look like tom gabel then you have a strong chance. since i have some time to kill until tonight, i guess i'll watch this........

Anchor Arms always deleted my comments telling them to shut the f up, then they went and removed me from their friends altogether. And I STILL listen to their music (which I bought from iTunes despite easily found free downloads) and wear their shirt.

Many years ago I wrote a review for the AC/DC high voltage album that never saw the light of day. But they'll post news updates about this crap every funkin' day. That AC/DC album has more to do with punk rock than the Counting Crows or Weezer could ever dream of.

well maybe if bon scott came back they would be punk. But yeah, even that is more relevant than this other stuff. I guess you can't have rules when you're "punk", anything goes, even say anything.

Michael Franti is amazing live. And he used to be on Alternative Tentacles when he was in the Beatnigs, who toured with Fugazi in the late 80s. In my book, that is pretty punk. Regardless, this would be of interest to me if they came to my town.

I just wanted to kick Franti while he's down by saying:
