Is it good that i'm like 16 and want to smoke weed and cigarettes?

Agreed there. I've seen people take something as simple as weed and had a bad reaction to it. Ask yourself "if I was crawling up the walls with paranoia would these people sit with me to calm me down, just tell me to chill out, or deliberately try to wind me up". You only want to be doing it with the friends who will do the first. Personally I've got three friends I trust 100% when doing the harder drugs. I won't bother with anyone else.

However, as !@#$%! said, just have a couple of beers and enjoy it. Plus, without wanting to sound like a nagging old man, but you're still young and your brain is still developing. Don't jumping head first into things that can do harm.

Drugs are bad mmmkay?
H8kurdt and symbols nailed t though. Take it easy and just try the couple beers thing.

Have you ever seen that one family guy where Peter’s like, “I tried drugs before, things just got too real”. Well that happens...probably no so much with weed, but maybe...

Anyway...just take care of yourself. Everything has a time and place and you shouldn’t be in any rush whatsoever to do such things.

I did not smoke herbs until I was 18 and out of the house.

I thought it best to wait until my brain had developed fully before ingesting mind altering substances.

That's just me though.

I started at 18...and now I’m 30....

Had drinks before I was 21but didn’t really start drinking until I was basically 21

Same thing with smoking cigarettes, I had a few smokes, but didn’t really start smoking until I was 18.

But weed, I was really dumb and impressionable...started at 15! Do I regret it? Yeah sort of...now that I’m older, I just realize there’s really no rush for anything....and rushing experiences/decisions is not the best idea.

Thanks guys.

Its cool that a noise band and generally music can help you in life.

:D :D :D

cigarettes are particularly shit

old man breath lolololol

i'm too lazy so i'm gonna post that here. my cd collection



rate pls

not bad for 16...

Needs more Bruce Springsteen

i'm collecting cd's for 6 years now

it’s a peculiar hobby in this day and age, and i wish i could mail you mine because i no longer have any use for them

i’d only suggest throwing out that depressing “the wall” because i grew up with it and that was 5 centuries ago and yeah ok teenage depression lol. but don’t let it pollute your mind.

as for more cds i’d recommend old magik markers, rollo tomassi if they make them, every lightning bolt, to get out of the 90s.

also old stuff every john coltrane you can get your hands on. particularly giant steps. and thelonious monk. and sun-ra.

also, needs some velvet underground. also, you might like some swans and melvins. also, see back sabbath’s paranoid. also, led zeppelin 1. also...

wait, what direction do you wanna take this collection?

He’s 16, so probably still learning. SY opened me crazy to all sorts of music. Music is a lifelong adventure...

recommend him some japanezes

you know you wanna

Banana Chips Banana Chips Banana Chips Banana Chips
Banana Chips Banana Chips Banana Chips Banana Chips
Banana Chips Banana Chips Banana Chips Banana Chips
Oh yeah!

I'm not particulary into that classic 70s 60s rock

I like to discover new stuff

But there are some exceptions like jimi hendrix.

I'm also collecting cds for my own pleasure and i dont plan on thriwing away any cds and they are like memorabilia (i hope i wrote it correctly) to show later generations what music was popular at my time.

this isnt new but maybe it will be new to you, and see what happens:

(i hope it blows your mind)

(if not today, some other day)

I went to the supermarket, guess what I bought?

Oh yeah :D

Anyway, there's a thread about Japanese music somewhere in which Evol raves about experimental weirdos and myself about Shonen Knife and Mono. But I'll mention what music that I listened to in my late teens that is still relevant to me now and I still enjoy immensely. Mind you this comes from someone that saw SY live for the first time at age 19 in 1991, and ran away after three songs. Check youtube for footage of the Ein Abend In Wien festival, it was bizarre. SY was the headliner, and I didn't know them yet. And they were loud and made a lot of noise including screw drivers used on their guitars, and we were tired.

The Cure. I don't listen to whatever they released after Disintegration. But nearly everything until then (and including) is cool, but especially those first albums, up till Faith or even Pornography. When I was 16, I had this immense poster of Robert Smith' head above my bed from the Kiss Me era. I still get nightmares :p

Neil Young, especially with Crazy Horse. Still remember the first time I heard him, Rocking In The Free World was the song. It was used in some documentary we were watching in class, during Economy or Social Studies. I was dozing as usual, but was wide awake all of a sudden. Start with Weld probably if you want it loud, but my favourite remains Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, and After The Gold Rush.

Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young), and whatever Crosby and Nash did solo or together in the late sixties and early seventies. It started my fascination with listening to live bootlegs, just imagine what gear was used back in those days.

Nick Cave. Start as I did with Let Love In and/or Murder Ballads and work your way down and then up again

Janis Joplin

Joy Division. Actually started listening to New Order first but Joy Division remains top notch no matter how many times I've heard it.

It's funny that you have Use Yr Illusion. Now that's something I never listen to anymore. Never been a big Nirvana fan either, I preferred Smashing Pumpkins but only the first two albums. And lateron Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.

I could name some more perhaps (Dinosaur Jr/Sebadoh, dEUS and Magnapop) but those are the most important ones.

Then there's a lot of music that I wouldn't have liked back then that I do like now.

The neo-classical music like Nils Frahm and Lubomyr Melnyk

The jazz music like Nina Simone, Chet Baker or whatever. Still don't like the freakjazz though and to me even most of Miles Davis falls under it.

The post-rock. I wonder if I would have liked Lift Your Skinny Fists if I had heard it at age 16

The freak-out avantgarde experimental punk stuff. There's still a lot of that that I don't like to hear albums of, but live is a true experience such as Glenn Branca. Or The Ex. But many of their albums are cool as well.

Then there's a lot that I liked in my teens that don't do it for me anymore

Green Day. Oh my god that they still exist (accidentally watched them on MTV during the EMA awards). Good for them but I've no interest in listening to them, new or old work
Same with The Offspring I've a CD of them and wonder why

Pixies I also no longer enjoy listening, but that's because of overdoseingly hearing them too much.

FYI, I started typing before your last comment in which you wrote that you weren't interested in music from sixties or seventies. So just ignore me then :-)

If you want really new music, keep an eye on the Most Anticipated thread, or the Listening thread.

One other band worth mentioning for me is Dirty Three. It took me seriously years until the quarter dropped and I started to like them. Before that I just didn't get it, especially the guitarist.

The album I’m most impressed with in your collection, The Final Cut. I sorta agree with !@#$%! about, The Wall, yet at the same time understand your sentiments towards it. I do challenge you this......if you haven’t watched the movie, I recommended rectifying that when time allows.

Have you attended any concerts? Albums, CD’s and Tour Tapes purchased directly from the band at shows will be the purchases you remember most fondly twenty something years from now!

only back home by daniel spaleniak

it was the first time i saw him and immediately fell in live with his music

its the one next to the eddie vedder one

I just checked out his BandCamp, The Burning Sea sounds lovely. Do you BandCamp? It’s a great way to check out new artist and take chances on different types of music.

Wait dont you have to pay to use bandcamp?

wat

no!

also, since you like the physical object music thing, have you considered collecting vinyl?

i’m a “fuck things” kind of person at this point in my life, but if you want true collectibles.... vinyl is what people could call a, *cough cough*, an “investment,” so to speak (not really an investment, but it can actually hold its value and even appreciate... maybe... i some special cases... if you’re ((very)) lucky)

e.g., this hilarious hoarder lol

Streaming on bandcamp is for free, if the artist has enabled it, which is nearly everyone except Nils Frahm :( . You can still pay for the digital and/or physical release

For some releases you must, but even then, they usually have a couple of tracks you can listen to for free.

But the vast majority of BandCamp is free streaming. Also, “name your price” where -0- is accepted......but it’s better to at least pay $1 when you can.

Last but not least -download codes- are the best!

Hey look it's me! Just working on the stream. Gotta make a few more tweaks to insert player names and player score....but I am for some odd reason having a hard time with that...everytime I insert text, it's mirrored with the worst resolution. So...I'm trying to figure some shit out for it. I have a month to figure all this shit out before I stream our tournament at the arcade...


The image on the right is for the gameplay. Jazzy Circuit is a promo for the tournament circuit and my cam is a place holder for the player camera. Commentator cam will transition in between matches.

Get Off The Fucking Bus

I think I just got ghosted for lunch. The fuck...

Fuck it. Lets talk about nirvana

yes! let’s

:D

As long as we agree In Utero > Nevermind.

Maybe

I think, if you're going to hang out on this forum, you're going to learn that weirder and noisier almost always equals better. Sometimes they're talking out their ass, but not on this one. In Utero is the more unique, and superior, album.

Getting to learn about the charms of complex numbers in polar form in Spesh this year. Hooray...

In better news, I'm ahead of the curve in Physics, to the extent where my teacher's letting me go early so I can make it to the shift my boss wants me to work.

The downside is it's currently 33*C. Fortunately the cool change will hit.

What a rollercoaster of emotions that was

hey hey now

polar coordinates are cool as shit

as a visual person, you’d enjoy them

they make nice function curves

yeah, you know you wanna

Sheet beach, get outta here with your numbers and lines and shit
