you sarcastically jabbed at me … i obviously interpreted this as a vicious attack and assumed that you would physically harm me when you next saw me
therefore, drastic steps call for drastic measures. hope you enjoy those interest rates!

Lesson for all you kiddies out there - don't always believe the media hype.

and i agree with koz, sorry for posting this on the thread … if you have anything else to say to me or any other strange threats, feel free to PM me
For the record, I've actually laughed at some of your postings, but only those that don't viciously attack another for their view/tastes/opinions; or resorted to disgusting language. How old are you anyway? Twelve?
Strange threats? There was no threat in anything I wrote except to say that I'd go crazy if you burned me or menaced me with cigarette smoke. You really are a wuss.
wow, i'm glad i didn't go. i was debating on whether to see this or monade/zincs at the cat, and monade won out. monade is laetitia sadier's (from stereolab) other band. they were pretty underwhelming themselves, like stereolab lite. i caught some of the zincs set and i liked them, as they remind me of something between the sea and cake and tindersticks.
mercury rev used to be one of my absolute favorite bands, but i'm really not pleased with the direction they've taken. i hear that the new album is awfully pretentious and contrived. while i don't mind the last two (despite the vocals certainly being annoying), i LOVE their first three records. those albums are some of the best examples of early '90s shoegazer noise rock with post-punk and art-rock influences. david baker (who left after 1993) sang a lot on those records and jonathan donohue's vocals took a backseat and were much more subdued. they were more fun and spontaneous, and now i find their material to be increasingly calculated and grandiose. the rev used to be a rock band, but in striving to be something more, they've lost a lot of the energy and whimsy they once had.
i saw doves in 2001 and thought they were better than i expected, but i haven't seen them since then.
also, the score as i see it: hoya 58, bad sushi 2. get a sense of humor.

The Onion: "Totally Hot Chick Also Way Psycho"
ATHENS, GA–Heather Blake, a University of Georgia business major with unbelievably beautiful eyes and a totally killer body, is also way psycho, sources close to the popular 21-year-old reported Monday.

Originally posted by BadSushi:i really think you're mistaking me for someone else on this board … i don't post nudie pictures, i'm certainly not a misogynist, and i often rip on people (rashly and at times unfairly, i might add) for politically incorrect statements
maybe we could get thru an entire thread without your Tourette's outbursts of foul language or your freekin' misogynistic opinions
Originally posted by BadSushi:uhhhhh, ok. it was pretty obvious that you were threatening to a) have me kicked out of the club, b) contact my law school and future employers … which, frankly, is crazy talk
Strange threats? There was no threat in anything I wrote
and what's your aversion to "foul" language? does the word "fuck" really offend you? do your parents not allow you to see R-rated movies?
Originally posted by BadSushi:i am not sure what you meant by this , but if you meant in any way that i am in cahoots with Hoya, you are very wrong.

if you were saying that I am hiding behind board members, thats also wrong.
if you were saying that I AM a popular board member, well thanks but thats probably wrong too.

Doves Take Wing at 9:30 Club
Washington Post
Wednesday, May 25, 2005; C03
In the wake of Radiohead – and the lingering influence of the shoe-gazer generation before them – latter-day Brit-pop has abandoned the cheeky jingle-jangles of yesteryear for more emotive and ethereal pastures. No band marks this shift more clearly than Doves, who visited the 9:30 club on Monday, tempering their new-school crescendos with a touch of old-school sass.
The Manchester outfit sent heads bobbing and toes tapping early with the buoyant swing of "Black and White Town," a track inspired by the Jam, from the latest Doves album, "Some Cities." The band never recaptured that early magic, but came close with handsome versions of "Last Broadcast" and "Caught by the River" (a song you crazy kids might remember hearing on "The O.C."). The capacity crowd devoured both of these tunes, and many others. "You rock harder than Coldplay!" one fan cried out between songs. "Not hard, is it?" head Dove Jimi Goodwin shrugged.
That fleeting moment of rock-swagger seemed downright humble after an hour of cloying histrionics from Mercury Rev frontman Jonathan Donahue. The opening act coasted through an almost laughable set of new-age-inspired schlock, Donahue gesticulating like a poor man's Freddie Mercury all the while.
Video projections of sunsets, dolphins and flowers in time-lapse bloom flickered on a backdrop during the Rev performance. Some images were accompanied by inspirational phrases such as, "Never give up – Just give." How did these once-great students of minimalist composer Tony Conrad devolve into the rock-and-roll embodiment of a Hallmark card?
