Hi!

There is finally a follow up to first Evripidis and his Tragedies record. You can listen to it here http://snapclapclub.tumblr.com/listen and I can assure you this time there are plenty of greaat songs (less darky maybe).

dear anon,

"pwn" is pretty well defined here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn

but if you don't want to go there, basically it boils down to this: "a leetspeak slang term derived from the verb 'own.'"

while I understand and completely approve of your penchant for well thought out uses of standard English, I would not go so far as to argue that a pidgin of English (i.e. leetspeak) is not, to some degree, unrecognizable (I mean, my grandma says LOL all the time, and that's a leetspeak term). At the very least I'd say it is not an "antiword," or, as I'm assuming what you meant by that, a word without meaning.

Concurrently, I'd like to point out that "antiword" is not a word, so by attempting to encourage me to use "actual language," when I am merely using a slang word, by using a word whose only meaning has to be assumed (which I have done, for your sake and mine), you have completely defeated your own purpose.

That, my friendly Anon, is what it's like to be "pwned."

In reference to your profile intro" what does...

In reference to your profile intro" what does "pwn" mean? Pawn? Practically own? It's such a bizarre antiword that it really appears to have no meaning whatsoever. Using actual language, of whatever recognized/recognizable origin, is much more effective for communication with human beings.

Thanks Chris! Not every day someone says "brilliant" in regards to something on this website.

I'd be the latter, unfortunately. I'm not bound to anything that demands I justify my words, which is what makes the internet great. My words on this site are kind of just my opinions, wrong as they may be.

The Mars Volta is an insanely talented band. Their ability is probably incalculable. Their showmanship is unmatched by very many. These are things that are undeniable. But the fact of the matter is that I didn't go to Monolith to be rocked, or, rather, semi-prog-rocked. I'm not really all that into 20 minute jam sessions. The bands that really shook things up were the bands that didn't have to go off on 8 minute guitar solos to prove their ability, bands that were comfortable making songs in 4/4 which are still experimental and awesome, or bands that completely shirked those confines and just went ahead and made noise, but to a steady beat (okay, admittedly that was pretty much just HEALTH). The Mars Volta are, despite their oddities and quirkiness, a rock band. Maybe a Jazzy, latin, etc. rock band, but a rock band none the less.

From an audience member's point of view, which is exactly what I am as I have no formal training in music theory, all I have to go on is how I felt when watching/listening to their set. And I felt like it was a bit over the top, like I was supposed to just bow down and recognize that they're the kings, and I the peasant. I very well may be the peasant, but I don't count being reminded of that fact a fun night.

Again, these are simply my opinions, as an audience member. Did you see the show? Have you seen The Mars Volta? I'd love to heard how you found their performance. I've not really discussed their live show with very many people, so it'd be nice to hear the other side.

I love some of their WILD ACCENTS! "It's a phwone inside of a fwootbaawl!"

Here are some other comments taken out of the commercial:

"You mean it's a thing that looks slightly like another thing?! No way! What kind of science fiction, year 3000 bullshit is this?! Pretty soon they'll have humanoid cybernetic aliens wandering the streets under the guise of being various vehicles. They'll call it Transformatrons, I'm sure."

"Gimmicky nonsense? In the late 80s? Inconceivable!"

"It looks like a football, but works like a phone. It plugs into most Eastern European jacks and has early Cyrillic numerals placed out of order for hours of guessing game fun!"

Oh... and slacks are ugly, boring looking pants. They're what women should not be allowed to wear, according to Deuteronomy 22:5. Apparently it's an abomination unto God.

I remember starting to watch this and when the "Reviews Duke Nukem Forever" popped up I thought "there's no way it came out without my knowledge!"

About the time where the bar graphs toppled over under the mighty weight of Duke's box I started to consider that it was a joke.

When the words "astounding depth" were used to describe the game, I had no choice but to admit Yahtzee's genius.

And, yes, I've watched it a few times since. :-)
