    No, seriously, if your main goal is to just get in a band, bass is probably the best bet.
    On the other hand, no one cares about the bass player.

    can anyone give me an opinion of six feet under? preferably your own.


    First couple seasons were amazing television, the middle seasons were uneven and a bit of a let-down, then the fifth season redeemed the series and ended it really beautifully.

    Even when the storylines are hurting in seasons 3 and 4 the performances are amazing.

    There's this one episode towards the end of season one where David is prepping a gay kid who was a victim of a hate crime for an open casket funeral and the murdered kid confronts David about his sexuiality, and becomes the embodiment of all of David's self-loathing and repression. (characters regularly have dialogue with the deceased, it's part of the show) To me that storyline is a high water mark for television in general.

    I don't think I've ever seen a famous person on the street.

    Though my cousin once bumped into Josh Homme and they chatted. He got a picture taken with him too. I think that was in the Rock Shop in Vancouver.

    I am jealous.

    The best I can say is that I did stage work for Agent Orange once.

    I'm jealous, too. Josh Homme is a weird guy.

    He seems like a weird guy. And he consistently puts out good music and works with good musicians. The guy is like Kevin Bacon in that you could link to most everybody in the rock world based on who he's been around.

    Based on all the interviews I've seen of him, I cannot imagine that he's great at casual conversation unless you were friends with him.

    I would kill for a bass guitar.

    And that's probably the only way I could get one, because I'm broooooooke. I love music to death, but it's such and expensive art form.

    Casual Eddy, in a manner I awkwardly realize is akin to the stereotype of the girl-wishing-for-a-gay-friend, how do you feel about Freddie Mercury?

    in what sense

    Any sense you choose, Mr. Eddy. (Mr. Casual?)

    GIS - god get rid of the moustache

    every other sense - I know nothing about him

    He's the lead singer for Queen.

    One of the most non-classical singers we've ever had, in my personal opinion.

    Not that Nerdgasmic cares about the opinion of someone who's only half gay. :|

    Honestly a beginning bass would not be that expensive. Mine was like..$200 new? And it's will be a year since I bought it in February.

    Lost the plot, or is that a weird way of saying it made you cry?
    David saw Keith because he was about to die of a heart attack.

    You're gonna need to stick some hyphens in there or something, that's a difficult sentence to parse without punctuation.

    I'm guessing it's something like "Man, how do I not have a go-to elaborate-christian-bale-random-meeting fantasy?"

    Pretty much any wind instrument that isn't brass. I've been working on learning guitar, but I have arthritis, so I usually end up howling in frustration that I can't make my fingers bend the way I need to.

    And I live in a little college town in western KY. Minimal music scene. My roommate's girlfriend and some of my other friends have been trying to put something together, though.
