The Still New What Did You Last Do Thread

[CruX]

I read this. I have had occasion to rant about Coldplay in the past so it's nice to see I'm not alone.

Why would you be? If Coldplay isn't the most boring modern band in existence, they've got to be somewhere in the top ten. Oh god, that song "Clocks". Why did everyone like it?

[Enjay]

I think the answer is because it is so bland, mediocre and meaningless. That's what the bulk of humanity laps up I'm afraid.

U2 was another really popular band that I could never stand. "Bullet the blue sky" was the only song they ever did that sounded okay (and just okay, nothing more), but it wound up playing on the radio so much when I lived in Houston, I now think I can go the rest of my life without ever hearing it again. If it wasn't total flame-bait, a "shitty, over-rated bands" thread might make for a good discussion piece.

[Scripten]

Oddly enough, I can stand listening to both of those bands when I just feel like ambient music. Generally, that's only when I'm doing something that requires me to focus on reading/writing and when I can't be distracted by lyrics or complicated music.

[hnsolo77]

so i should just assume that coldplay is the twilight of music?

[FuzzballFox]

Scripten I would recommend Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works II if you want some good background music, it's a little unusual at times but pleasant to listen to~

Just measured myself- turns out I'm around 6'3-4ish tall.... D:

[Viscra Maelstrom]

at least you're not 178 cm (5'10'') tall and 57.5 kilos (127 pounds) heavy. i feel like a midget at times. for god's sake, my 13 year old brother is outgrowing me. :c

oh yeah, and if you want good ambient music, try Ambient 4: Isolationism, Aurastys's Idea(l(s)) and Rising Ruins, and Chitinous Xaero's Insanity Enroaching. all very good ambient albums.

You people are huge.

[Mikk-]

6'4" and a bit, here. I'm the tallest in my family, and oddly enough I am also the youngest. Hah.

[hnsolo77]

heh, im the oldest and also the shortest at 5' 11"

[Slasher]

6'3'' is me.

Seems we have a number of folks of about that height. But I guess it is fairly common.

[InsanityBringer]

I am 6'5". This has influenced how I look at things.

Someone once asked if a character I invented was a basketball player when I said that he was 5'11"

That's... actually pretty tall. XD

[Captain Ventris]

5' 7 1/2". I make up the difference in penis.

...

I'm so sorry.
