i carry around tapes that i make every weekend that contains the highlights of the previous weeks purchases, if someone seems worth investment, i give them the tape. fuck, we all have tape players, we should all do this.

i havent run into this problem. if some one is ignorant enough to assume that i listen to shit music because of the popular label associated with it, than, yes, in my book they are morons.

WHOA DOOD! Dont take it there, i can spend days on hip hop alone. And shit, dont make me bring BOC into this (dont fear the reaper, man)! joke, joke...hahaa. no, you kind of have a point, but i addressed it in the following paragraph.

i'll provide this little TRUE story: i had my own late night radio show at this college station right? well, one night i go in there and these rave kids are there dancing in the studio with the monitors blazzing. i was ticked but nice, since i didnt know anyone at the school and didnt want to make imediate enemys. so, while they finnish up, i start dragging out my records so i can log my setlist. and you could see the fucking lights go off in their heads: RECORDS=ELECTRONIC=US. So i get the standard ever present, earth destroying, non-biodegradiball flyer for a rave. these kids are called the "sugar kiss krew", or something, and i just kind of polite as possible handed it back to them and said that it wasnt my scene. so, then comes the retard grilling of "what is your scene? why dont you like trance? have you really even been to a rave?" i answer very honestly to these pointless questions:"dont have a scene. trance is boring and repetative. yes, i have been to a rave". then, as the "sugar kiss krew" are walking out of the studio and right as i flip my mic on, the female "krew" member turns around and says "FUCKING SNOB!" then i get flipped off by another krew member. how "PLUR" is that????

Another thing that bothers me: the internet completly changed our culture, no doubt. but, if we are supposed to be talking to eachother like any other type of communication, then why do we use spell check and shit? ANOTHER CUO! NO MORE EMAIL SPELL CHECKING! LETS BE REAL! THERE IS NO PERSONALITY TO PERFECTION! just a side thought, really. but, no shit, my life with out this keyboard=very different
