Yes and Feigan should do one and he could bring back breaks single handedly!
He could also include his favourite recipes to cover time for the lack of breaks played.

far out. thread explosion

i don't really notice moderation at all tbh

i don't post as much becoz i am hell busy at work these days and also don't go out to gigs as much as i did. i do sometimes log in and find the same 2 people all over it. it's often tumbleweeds otherwise. and total yawn

man i'd be almost twice the age of some of the younguns. i've earnt my jaded status imo

Excellent idea. Perhaps occasional mix just to spice up, broaden the promos of gigs happening, etc.


I think this thread is just gen X peeps fighting the downward spiral into middle-age mediocrity........I feel ya :lol:


Reach for the lasers ye old buggers............shit I have reached 1000 posts in only 5 or so years. Nice work spazz.

how many who say they will, will, and how many will do two weeks and then not keep it up - especially if for the first 6 months no one listens.

It really would be a fair bit of work to pull off.

Yes and Feigan should do one and he could bring back breaks single handedly!
He could also include his favourite recipes to cover time for the lack of breaks played.
or you could do shows which were actually eclectic instead of the latest, most obscure, random bits of UK gratage thats been making people with poor fashion sense and personal hygiene issues wet under the armpits browsing Hype Machine for the last minute and a half and who no one will ever hear of again.

except that would be called Rinse FM. gashment standard.

Alex, I didn't understand a single word of that. Well, I lie, individual words and your arrangement of said words all made sense and I will be incorporating gashment into daily communications and memorandums, but WTF???

Also, you played bioshock 2 yet? Is awesome??? Need to decide whether to buy that or a new snowboard. Snowboard is winning atm.

I wanted to be a hero. I wanted to be the center of attention. I wanted the glory, I wanted the fame. I wanted the pretty girls to come up and say, "Hi, I see that you're good at Centipede."

haha gashment ftw.

Bioshock 2 no, I haven't even got that far with Bioshock 1 yet!! I am not very good at computer games. :(

It looks good though!

Surely it is less expensive than a new board?

teh best raves are often preceeded by LARGE MEALS
so it will have to be a double episode, i think 5 raves in 5 days will kill most of the contestants tho.

trying to work out who would be best guests. there are many decent cooks on here afaik.

I have been wearing my melbournebeats.com t-shirt, lately after a while of not wearing it, but I'm not sure if that's because mb is dead, or because it's alive and not so lame.
