THE FORUM - "striving for mediocracy, one word at a time." (mediocracy in action)

"If you're looking to be regaled with anecdotes, look no further."

"like so many crumpled up pieces of paper tossed in the general direction of the wastepaper basket, we bring you the forum."

the issue of audio video synchronization has been under fire of late, well not of late but a few years ago now, especially with rizzle's collectors edition of dune. And it's very anecdotal, but that's neither here nor there. It's been debunked and is now defunct. Peep out the manuscript, bro[sis]:

\one retailer sold it but refused to acknowledge the fact that it is a sub par product and refused to pull it off shelves. However, the item was allowed after much adue to be returned for store credit and sh*t. I mean, we was in there showin the manager, watching and demonstrating it's pour quality, people. The whole 9. We was on a mission, yo. I know this wealth of information may be too much, but-

please, don't be alarmed by the memes' lack of upcoming shows, sista[brotha]. the band, which has been rumored to've recently broken up, will continue to branch off in solo ant collaborative projects, including music videos, yes music videos and such, all of which will be posted here at this online mecca. keep checking back for collaborations of jason, tyler, john, aaron, nick, mark, nitro, nat, don, austin, joel and whoever else might have at one time or another played or at least jammed with any or all those peep's or sump'n.

When I get someone's message machine, i just want to hear the greeting and then immediately leave the message, you know what I'm sayin' big guy? I mean, why does the operator always give me these options like, "to page this person..." "When you are done, you may hang up...' etc.? It's just such a waste of time, i mean i know i can hang up, right? Am I wrong? But that's... in a different place.

what about a stranger holding the door for you at a grocery store when you're 45 yards back?? It's like "do i have to hurry up now?" I wasn't in a hurry in a first place. Won't you just go in and that way we don't have to go through all this awkardness now?

real cheese - is this really something we should be bragging about?
I hope it's real. If it's not real, then what is it, fake cheese?
YES A LOT OF CHEESEs ARE 'CHEESE PRODUCT'
what about "may contain peanuts?" How do they not know?
"We really don't know WHAT's in there."
ACTUALLY SOME FACTORIES ALSO PROCESS PEANUTS

quote from the filter album short bus:

Statement: There is a certain subset of musicians who for reasons unknown
adhere to the false premise that "electronic" music or the tools involved
imply a lack of creativity or inspired performance. Technology in the hands
of creative, intelligent individuals is a tool for art, not a hindrance.
Filter, being members of the current millenia, admit freely to the use of
such devices.

quote from Philip Toshio Sudo, Zen Guitar (1997):

A band is not merely a collection of individuals. Its essential character must be for the

whole to exceed the sum of its parts . When the right people get together, be it in music

or sports or business or marriage or sex or whatever, a kind of spiritual fusion takes place.

This fusion can not be bought or forced or manufactured....No one knows how this magic

happens. But when it does, we feel the presence of something divine and everyone who's there

knows it. Cherish the chemistry of great bands wherever you find it. You're onto something big.

One day Chuang-tzu and a friend were walking along the riverbank.

"How delightfully the fishes are enjoying themselves in the water!" Chuang-tzu exclaimed.

"You are not a fish," his friend said. "How do you know whether or not the fishes are enjoying themselves?"

"You are not me," Chuang-tzu said. "How do you know that I do not know that the fishes are enjoying themselves?"

On "laundry lists:"

Have you heard of these things? Laundry lists? Are people actually making these? They write every item down with a pad and a pen beforehand? Why?

**UPDATE

new raw material is now available in the music section. critics have hailed it as similar to nirvana, metric, system of a down, megadeth,and alice in chains, yet somehow it also exudes new, sardonic, cutting edge and experimental threads. needless to say , it is not produced with metronomes and the like; rather, it is wholly organic: it was taken from a live session including three members.
