What have you learnt in the last 12 months?
 

To start my own very very long list....

In the last 12 months, I've learnt:

1. Detroit Techno's back.
2. Saint Etienne are far more consistent than I'd thought.
3. There are more electroclash bands than spieces of frog.
4. Tuxedomoon are a New Wave band.....
5. There are at least 10 International Deejay Gigolos compilations.
6. There are at least 10 Nova Tunes compilations.
7. Not backing-up files is rather foolish.
8. Dreampop didn't die - it moved to the US.

enough for now.

Heaps

1. apola and her boy-bands are extremely annoying.
2. Boy-bands suck nuts for money, but I always knew that.
3. That the people of this forums, Cylob, spaceplay etc, are wonderful people with good taste in music.
4. Rush are a great band, along with Tool
5. That the drummer in SlipKnoT uses the best drumsticks in the world http://www.bigbangdist.com/ahead_st.htm

found a place ( a little messed up at the moment) with some great people to hang around with.

@taylor you forgot one major thing - the coffee
and i agree on the first two of your points

also the new Neil Young album - Greendale yet again is only for the real fans - no airplay.

learnt about a great number of bands i did not know even were there.
(thank you to several people in the alphabet threads)

1.This forum can be named as a anti-boy band forum..easily.
2.But the people are not that bad.....I really like them so I'm trying to do something for them.Like introducing pop music and boy-bands:D .....
3.BSB and NSync has really broke-up:cry: (lets give them a farewell, guys....stand up....pin drop silence....think of them & all the contributions...lets hope they will live in our heart for ever....thanks)
4.Justin Timberlake got a wonderful comeback.
5.Britney and Madonna have gone mad.
6.Beckham can live without Red Devils(Sorry for mentioning it here......but its the most shocking thing I've learnt this year:igor: )

9. See Taylor's points 1,2,3.
10. That Wannadies album I was going to buy in '97 (but didn't) turned out to be excellent. *slap* for not buying it at the time.
11. A Broadband/SoulSeek combination results in acquiring alot of music very quickly.
12. MediaMonkey runs rings around winamp.www.mediamonkey.com
13. Drum n Bass is crap.

apola

#2- no thank you no more
#3- there is a god, only a few bands to go.
#4- he should have stayed away
#5-they were already, old news
#6-who????? i'm not into sports

How can you not have heard of Beckham???? The Netherlands is in Europe right (not on the dark side of the moon or anything)?

Lmao

I know who the guy is but i don't give a ....... like i said i'm not into sports so i don't care.

think they spent far to much time on the tele on this subject instead they could have had a good movie or a good tv series like inspector daglish.

1. I hate estate agents with every bone in my body.
2. I'm good at my job and other people think so to.
3. I hate living alone/being alone
4. I worship broadband.
5. apola makes me realise not to take music too seriously.:D
6. Umberto Echo is a fuckin' genius.
7. Gabriel Garcia Marquez is also a fuckin' genius.
8. MUFC are better off without Beckham.
9. I know who my friends are.
10.Not to argue with people who have no interest in hearing someone elses point of view.

End of comminque.

I am doomed to walk the Earth alone
People like the stuff I write
I need a vacation.

That covers about all I've learned this year, except that a lot of modern music sucks. But I've known that since the 90s.

Much about music.

The start of the year i still liked linkin park.

In terms of music...

•I can play bass guitar
•But my fingers are too fat to play electric guitar
•Thin picks suck for bass
•My Kingston looks like a Fender P-Bass
•I need a Marshall bass amp
•As well as a Digitech bass modulator
•I play bass "the wrong way" (With my thumb, sometimes)
•Michael Kamen is dead
•Most new bands since 2000 suck
•And Emo's crap too
•And even though I can't play guitar, I love the Gibson Les Paul "Fuel" (Iron Cross James Hetfield signature guitar)
•I want a 5-string Fender P-Bass, but one of those will run me $1000... :(

And I've learned about 20-30 new bands to appreciate and listen to since then... :D

a convenient "accident" should take care of that problem...

That shall be Included as number 6

That hasn't and never will happen.

6. Coffee is the most terrible substance I have ever taken. (Just search for the "I Know Never To Drink Coffee Again" thread and you will find out.
7.Ive learned over 15 new bands, probably more.
8.Ive added more than 49 albums this year, and you must remember Im only running 56K:)
9. I can play Paranoid by Black Sabbath on the drums, along with Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin), Gently (SlipKnoT), Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana).
10. WinAmp 5 is the most finest looking media player ever created:D

1. Minnesota has no good radio stations
2. Almost all US Techno sucks
3. The world has been taken over by space aliens from galaxy Q27, they are lving in my house's guest room though, you think they could get their own house, but nooooooooo, they just sit around mine all day, controlling every aspect of the worlds governments....
4. Listening to the same song for 2 hours straight cause mild insanity
5. I can bend it like Beckham!
6. Singing Low Rider for the schoo talent show=best idea of my life

1) Coffee is good, disregard taylor's comments.
2) "Juggalos" are total assholes.
3) I'm a cheap person, who'd of thought.
4) My grades are terrible.
5) Music is really cutting into my money. :igor:
6) I knew this, but stil, boy bands blow.
7) Rage Against the Machine can be quite addicting.
8) Winamp 5 is awesome.
9) As Cylob said, MediaMonkey rules. :D
10) taylor plays drums

Bittorrent runs circles around Kazaa
Soulseek runs circles around Bittorrent (for music only, though)
Mediamonkey runs circles around Winamp
3Mb cable modems are Gods gift to man
DVD+RW drives are useful for backups
External drives are much quicker then I thought they would be
Live albums and bootlegs run circles around studio albums

7.I'm still learning why everyone hates boy-bands.......most probably will take one more year to learn all their reasons and show them that these reasons are wrong.
8.People don't like Beckham much:( ,even don't know him....David Beckham, husband of posh spice Victoria .....(If you want something related to music)
9.Cylob's wife likes boy-bands:D

:mad:
Yes, and there's nothing I can do about it. I have protected the boys very successfully though. They're indie kids in the making, life-long music lovers.

Good for you and them, I'd hate to see apola get into the minds of those young souls.

Quite right.:) I know they'll thank me for it.

I know I would.

You've had a decent upbringing dude - Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin.:) Top quality.:up:

Your old man's a swell guy.

Yer, he's quite nice, I'm glad he introduced me to those bands, he also got me into PJ and Blondie, but I don't listen to Blodie alot.

I'm not keen on Blondie either. PJ's another matter of course. Pretty soon you'll be introducing your dad to bands....

I have already started:)

:eek: With what..............

I found my dad watching channel v (music channel) last night, which was quite a shock

1.that Zildjian are perhaps the worlds greatest cymbals
2.you don;t have to be a metal player to use double bass drums
3. i actually enjoying playing to swing
4.Live concerts are much better than what i thought they would be
5. that everbody goes through the boy band stage
6. the boy band stage only lasts a year max (perhaps apola is an execption to this rule)
7. drumming is the coolest pastime in the world (though i've known this for a while

I'd thank ya to Cylob.

Super Toast: 2. Almost all US Techno sucks

Try Deepsky, BT, DJ Shadow, Rabbit in the Moon, Deep Dish, DJ Micro, Thievery Corporation. I'm pretty sure those are all american.

I have learned that you should never move in with someone who you know has been unreliable in the past but has claimed to have changed. That person is a fucking LIAR.

I have also learned that Oslo Nights is an amazing radio show. DJ Elusive is awesome.

OMG! I just learn
10.About 70% people in this forum learnt something 'bout me.......

Ah well Mattress, you should've gone with your instincts.:( Thanks for the BT album BTW. Much appreciated:)

#1. radio still sucks

11. apola is annoying speller.

•I've learnt something about apola, but I still don't understand the poor, dimented child...

Correction....."apola is an annoying speller"

12. I can be annoyingly pedantic.:p

Me too Marvin. If someone says 'the kettle's just boiled' I'm compelled to say 'you mean the water's just boiled'?:D

Like SlipKnoT, he's seen the live DVD Nirvana, Tool, The Vines, Slverchair.:D

Nice one.:up: I didn't have a hope with my old man - he was into motown.:( He'd never appreciate Pop Will Eat Itself or The New Fast Automatic Daffodils. His loss.:D

I've bought the boys a CD player each for xmas. This is a measure of their taste....

Josh wants a Curve CD, Carter - The Cure, and Wesley - BRMC. I'll be burning many a disc for the dudes.
