Fahrenheit 451

Even though this book is fictional, it's a surprisingly accurate brown townysis of the future at parts, at least from what I remember. I read the book years ago.
Other than that, you can buy Edgar Allen Poe's collective works for pretty cheap.
John Steinbeck is a great author, you should check out Cannery Row and Tortilla Flats.
Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid is a funny and informational book about the 1950s.
Breathers: A Zombie's Lament is a very unique book for something about zombies, and it manages to be one of my favorites.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is just hilarious.

Forget to mention The Time Machine, it's pretty short and you might be able to finish it in a couple of hours, but it's a great read.

I really like the stuff Astronautlis does, particularly his album You and Yer Good Ideas (Somethin' for the Kids, Oceanwalk). Other than that lately I've really been digging Chris Clark (Rainbow Voodoo), who you would probably recognize from a few Adult Swim bumps, and Sweet Trip (DSCO)

EDIT:

Sound Tribe Sector 9

!!!!!
Let's be best friends. You should also check out a similar band called 9dw.

Awesome :D.
I draw like that, damn it I'm no longer special D:.

You haven't been special for nine years, Cyanide and Happiness has been around since 2000.
That would be to say that they came up with this art style, though, and I do doubt that.

You don't get banned for that, but in the case that you did, why would you have to warn us?

We drove to Santa Fe today, New Mexico's capital if you didn't know. The view on the way there was way cooler than the actual place.

All rappers are terrible.
Rap in itself is a terrible genre in my opinion.

Rap songs boil down to:
1. Songs about slutty girls. This can mean trying to pick them up or apologizing to them
2. Im bst rppr evr
3. Random gibberish.

Kayne West's songs supposedly fit into column 3 according to what I've read from your OP.

You can't exactly judge a genre by what you find on the radio, and all genres deal with shallow subjects. These are only a few artists from the genre since I don't listen to vocal Hip-Hop that much. I also tried to show musicians who incorporate more sounds than just what you might expect to find in Hip-Hop.
Music isn't about lyrics anyway, that's not to say it can't be difficult to enjoy a song with terrible lyrics, music is still all about sound.

It doesn't take long, it's not like I'm reading the song titles.

My playlist can be located here: http://www.csahms.com/worm/Playlist/WHT197.tmp.html
There are some artists where there are two of each song, it's probably because I rip a lot of albums in two or three formats (mp3/wav/flac)
Me and Maor are almost completely musically incompatible. :(

So, Im not allowed to draw for fun? I always have to have a goal and try my best when i just feel like doodling on the canvas and posting it on the forums, where everyone seems to like my doodles?

I have to have a REASON for drawing? Did It occur to you that some masterpieces were never ment to be? That some sculptures and statues were mistakes or just the artist getting bored? Did you ever think about the fact that people can draw whatever they feel like they want to draw? I dont need a reason to draw. If you ask for one then ill just say, " Because I want to."

I need no reason that I did anything here. I get inspiration by drawing random lines on the canvas, then when I get one that I approve of, I go from there. Either that or i look at photos.

Where did I imply you needed a reason to draw?

If there's anything I learned from being owned by Otis and Ronin, it's that you never do 'drop it'.

Once you do it you've attained enlightenment. Which you haven't.

Except that if you were to read the conversation you'd notice there wasn't actually a point in the first place.

Worm wants everything to be either loving perfect or not at all.

I resent that. I just think people should try. If I came off as harsh in that post then I apologize. I simply meant to express that the way you're doing things kind of lumps you into a certain group, I'm not saying you should completely change everything, in fact all I really commented on was your line work. And sure, your lines could be messy if you wanted, but there's a difference between charmingly messy and seemingly unintentionally messy.

Give up? lol
I already have.
It's quite apparent that you won't leave this thread.

Please read my post, I don't remember saying "Give up". All I've done is asked you to drop it, because there's no solving this.

You just want a fight out of me. And for god knows what reason.

For goodness sake, I don't want your crap, and I know for sure that you don't want mine. Give it up.
