Off Topic / I bought this new guitar...

« on: February 03, 2010, 01:34:56 AM »

So... I was looking to buy a guitar the other day. The guy I was talking to looked shady, but it was at Railroad Bazaar. I ended up getting some Ibanez. He told me it had Floyd Rose bridge and Seymour Duncan pickups, so I bought it without question. So, as I was walking out to my car, I got to looking at it and realized neither of those things were true. I started to walk back in and say something, but then I saw a dinosaur running out the back door with my money.

Creativity / Lyrics?

« on: January 31, 2010, 12:20:05 AM »

Hacking the same rusty note, the same raspy tone

living your life as a slave to industry

break free from this prison

cease this chosen poison

learn to breathe without obstruction

review your morals and see the destruction

air is free, appreciate it more,

or else you'll find yourself on the floor.




This isn't finished. I dunno, It came to me at work. There's more songs, but I don't feel like posting them all right now.

Good y/ n?

Off Topic / About Titanic and myself...

« on: January 22, 2010, 09:24:09 PM »

-I am not back...  yet at least. I load occasionally for fun, but I am not active.
-Titanic has not changed in nearly a year.
-I am the only owner, anyone else claiming it is full of stuff.
-There are two sizes floating around. One is half scale and finished, the other is full scale and horribly unfinished. I made both.
-Stop posting about it. When I want to bring it up, I will post. For now, leave it alone. It has become the subject of spam.

General Discussion / I want to build again

« on: January 18, 2010, 06:25:13 PM »

I have a bit of free time while at school now. I want to start something new, but I have no inspiration.

Any ideas? Anything possibly Bones-ish to build?

Off Topic / Being a loser pays these days

« on: January 14, 2010, 06:39:34 PM »

I've been out of a band for about six months now. Today at school, Me and a couple of friends who share the same lit class decided to bring two guitars and a ukulele. We wrote a dumb happy song in an elevator and decided to play for people coming and going from the elevator. We ditched that and played some improv to a random girl named Jessie. While playing for her, 60 or so people walked by, stopped, and listened.

We then decided to go play for our Lit teacher (who is hot). We played a couple of songs for her and a few others in her office. She loved them and asked us to play for some english honor meeting. We decided against it, but we ended up writing another song (Rousseau's Prison).

Literally minutes after writing it, we were playing for this meeting in front of about 35 people. We were introduced as "the band" which I thought was funny. We then were asked to play for another teachers' class. Following that, we were invitied to play for the induction of this club on the 27th. We'll be making $20 each...  for three songs.

This has been a most random and eventful day.

Off Topic / One year, one month, and thirteen days

That's how long it's been since I've taken even a tiny swig of anything carbonated. I've posted this before, but it's been a while. I just shat bricks when I realized how long it's been.

From my experiences, this isn't a bad thing to do. My mouth feels cleaner, I have more energy, I have more money (in the long run), I'm not addicted to caffeine, and I have not been anywhere close to dehydration.



No regrets here, guys.

Off Topic / Anonymity: The best super power

« on: December 31, 2009, 03:44:06 PM »

I'm speaking of remaining anonymous in real life situations. You walk up to a guy, hit him in the face, and remain anonymous while still standing next to him. He'd say something like, "Who the forget just did that?" and you would reply with something like, "Damn, I don't know man...  you okay?"

Yet another thought of mine that originated at work.

Off Topic / Pick a band name or add a suggestion

« on: December 31, 2009, 02:24:57 AM »

I'm starting over again. Me and another guitarist found a chick guitarist/drummer who sings/screams. We're giving it a shot.

Ideas so far:

Explain Nebraska
Define Alaska
To Find Alaska
Fight Fire With Elephants
Copy Machine Massacre
Filament

Off Topic / My guitar amp might be in trouble

« on: December 23, 2009, 02:04:31 PM »

I think she's sick. About five minutes after the warm-up, the normal bright sound begins to sound muffled for 30 seconds to a minute. I hear a sound during this time that sounds like a flag waving...  or maybe waves crashing. After this, it's fine.

I'm still very worried. Could this be dying tubes? Other than this minute period, the amp sounds great.

Also, hurr the loving durr, Jack.
