Re: OT: Great Music
 

Not many "new" bands impress me nowdays, I like a few, I call them candy bands. Not really good or good for you, it's pop sugar and i like it. In this caragory I put Franz Ferdinan(sp) The Bravery, The White Stripes, Newer greenday and Foo Fighters.

Also I'm on a less is more trend, with duos like the white stripes, death from above 1979, The Black Keys, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs(technically 3 people, guitar/synth, voice and drummer). Though the latter bands are far far superior to the white stripes, and each sounds very different from the other.

I have a CD player that holds 60 cds at once, 4 bands have been in that thing as long as ive had it and have never left, REM, Blue oyster cult, The Doors, and the Smashing Pumpkins, those are my favorites(though not in that particular order).

Re: OT: Great Music
 

Lucky Boys Confusion is a great name. It should be used for a bizzare Japanese dating gameshow, possibly involving Thai ladyboys.

Disturbed
Metallica
Nickleback
Godsmack

Personally I don't see anything wrong with admiring from afar superficially attractive celebrities, whatever their real-life shortcomings. Taking Britney as an example, since I don't know her personally she's just a pretty, um, face that I can "flesh out" any way I want in my imagination. "Imaginary" Britney then becomes a thoroughly decent human being, Mensa member, philanthropist, Red Cross volunteer, virgin, and nymphomaniac who is inexplicably attracted to older men with thinning hair, no talent, and excruciatingly ordinary lives. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif In real life she may be a crack whore who kicks dogs for fun, but who cares? Real life is somebody else's problem.

Celebrities have another advantage in that one can choose to admire them in their prime. Denise Richards is currently a bit past her sell-by date, but if I hit the Internet (gives new meaning to the phrase "hit me baby one more time") or Netflix I can recapture her glory days any time I want.

A few words of caution: (1) Don't expect real people to live up to your imagination; (2) Never, ever use your imagination to "flesh out" a potential RL romantic interest. If you're wrong, YOU are stuck with the "problem". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
