Sort of surprising how what was arguably the best metal band of its genre for nearly a 10 year span has quietly disappeared and been gone for a few years now. This is a band that was not shy about creating anticipation for future releases, so either they have nothing in the pipeline or they...

http://www.republicwireless.com/ I just signed up for this. $19 a month for unlimited calls/texts/data. The phone is not top of the line, but the price is a fraction of the major providers and still beats Boost and Cricket too. The way this works is that they rely on wifi rather than...

I've never had cable before. Are there any of these that don't sting the wallet like a thousand angry scorpions? Any of you have deals that aren't too rapey? I feel like I'm spending too much money going to watch sports at bars, which is the main reason I want cable. TV shows would be a...

Thoughts? 1. It doesn't suck. 2. It might be great, but I'm not sure yet. 3. I miss the transitional segments that Loveless and Tremolo had. 4. I'm not sure if I like the last two tracks enough to listen to this from start to finish every time. 5. It's more rhythm driven, but also less dancey...

What do you think about having a UM room over there? If you aren't familiar, it's a free music site where up to five people are DJs and can play music from the turntable.fm library, or they can upload songs personally. So people hang out and listen to music and/or chat. It just requires a...

I'm going. I booked my trip knowing that I'd have a good time socially, and I like enough metal to enjoy the fest regardless of my knowledge of the bands. But to take it to an elite level of enjoyment, I need to familiarize myself with many more of the bands. I hope we can get a thread going...

Ketchup is horrible, and there's no excuse for anyone over the age of twelve to willingly consume it. If you enjoy ketchup, mercy on your soul. I will forgive being too lazy to instruct workers at a fast food place to hold it. A pass could probably be given to any "gourmet" ketchup that is...

I'm looking to buy a new PC very soon and I'm looking for some advice. I'd like a desktop, and I won't need a monitor, as I'm planning to run it through my TV. I ran a few custom builds and kept coming up with a cost around $700-800, which feels high. Probably won't be gaming on it, but I am...

I'm moving into a new place soon (a relatively small apartment), and I need to buy some audio equipment. I could make due with my crappy set of speakers for the PC for digital media, but I'd like a turntable, so I'd might as well get an audio system I could use for CDs and tapes as well. I...

Who wants to do a group for NCAA picks? I've done it on Yahoo in the past, but Facebook and ESPN have programs for it too. I'll set something up if people show interest. List a preferred site for it if you have one.

I had Oprah, with guest Suze Orman, on TV tonight, (a great starting point clearly), and I was astounded by how retarded people are about how interest, debt, and financing work. Unless I'm being shown cases that are outside the norm, which I doubt, a significant amount of Americans are dumb as...

Looking for something in the league of Velvet Cacoon or the most minimal of Darkthrone's works. Extended ambient passages are ok. Rawness is irrelevant. I want hypnotic music with black metal aesthetics. Not looking for Beherit-style stuff.

I'm sure something will be said about them the next few weeks. I watched a chunk of the opening Friday night, and it was pretty impressive. I'd love to see Chicago get the 2016 games. I think they have a very good chance, with Madrid being too close to the 2012 London games, and Tokyo being...

It's criminal that this band is so unknown. This man/band is the spirit of metal embodied. Anyone who likes metal will like this. Support this guy. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=71509106 Here's the official site. While not flashy, I don't think...

Considering that so much of the music we love is 10, 15, 20, 25 years old, or more, let's discuss albums that have aged well, or aged very poorly. It seems like a mark of a classic when an old album still sounds great after all those years. It also seems to separate the top from the second...

www.myspace.com/nightharvest Hello all. Please check out my band some time, we play folky black metal in a style most similar to Drudkh. I play the drums on these basement recordings. Look for an official demo before the end of the summer. New songs will be up soon as well. If you like...

Can anyone think of any metal songs that adhere closely to this classical approach? A partial definition from grovemusic.com : A form founded on repetition...in which a discrete theme is repeated several or many times with various modifications. A theme for variations, rarely shorter than...

EDIT: Wrong forum. Lock or delete the thread. I'll re-post in GMD. Can anyone think of any metal songs that adhere closely to this classical approach? A partial definition from grovemusic.com : A form founded on repetition...in which a discrete theme is repeated several or many...

On Saturday I was fortunate enough to see Atheist play live, for the first time in Chicago since 1991, and in what they claim to be their last show in the Midwest. I thought it might be worth summing up here as there are many fans of this legendary band. Scroll down a bit if you want to get...
