    What If...?

    Time to make use of those dormant imagination brain cells :hotjump: The exercise is called 'What if...?' Basically, one person asks the question 'What if..?', filling in the dots, then other people brain-storm over possibilities and offer them freely. eg. I ask 'What if clones were really...

    UMoogle music search

    I thought I'd start a post that would help people find music that they have had trouble finding, whether on the net or in the shops. I'm sure there are many people here who don't want others to go without aural satisfaction, so I'm sure results will be satisfactory. I shall begin with a band I...

    Invisibility option on the boards

    Does anyone else find the invisibility option on the boards somewhat pointless? I have had little experience with it myself, but find that it is made pointless as soon as the invisible person posts. It doesn't stop another person pming them at all...someone please explain, I am having a...

    An Insult Thread

    It has come to my attention that, to save the sanity of the collective UMian subconscious, an insult thread needs to be introduced....biatch! Work out how it works yourself, numpties, while you work out which of your several daughters is also your sister :P @Rusty: I f-f-fart in your genreal...

    A Compliment thread :D

    Fellow UMians :lol: After a night of chatting and good fortune, Mr. Rusty and Mr. Sage (myself) have come up with a wonderful and rather splendid idea of starting a thread based purely on compliments, both giving and receiving. We leave this open to anyone who feels the urge to serenade...

    Which band(s) have you discovered lately?

    I'd thought I'd make this thread to consolidate various other related threads on the board concerning people who have recently 'discovered' a band they like for the first time, and their rampant enthusiasm to share it with us kind folk. I was going to put this in the Opeth music board, but...

    Time to pay respects

    It was an unpleasant surprise just now to have the TV tell me that the last remaining legend of early comedy, Mr. Spike Milligan of The Goon Show, had passed away today :cry: The Goons were great, and influenced many great comedy acts, such as Monty Python. I only came upon them relatively...

    A lot of Aussies here

    I've noticed quite a few 'Aussies' in this forum. Are we Opeth-loving Aussies few and far between? I've known personally of very few people anywhere (none here in Brisvegas) that even mention the band, until I entered this board. Is it the same in other parts of Oz, or do I just not get out...

    Cold Meat Industry

    Is there anyone who visits this forum that listens to any bands of the Swedish Dark Ambient/Post-Industrial label Cold Meat Industry? If so, any particular bands? I progressed to the genre after listening to mainly black and progressive metal (Opeth of course). Just wondering what thoughts...

    Band artwork/photography

    I was appreciating the artwork of the Opeth albums (the photography is really brilliant), and was wondering where else I had seen decent artwork....... Albums from the musical label Cold Meat Industry instantly spring to mind........anyone know of any really good artwork?
