For me it is; stress, tea, lack of sleep, whisky, gym fatigue, anger, apathy, disillusion. Not neccessarily in that order.

The mood was serious, at first.
The context of the first 4 words are concrete...."You have to be..." it tells you a starting point, its the begining of school.....what you have to do to become a Collaborator...at least that is what the author expects us to think.
Then...."Tony R.."...we have to be Tony R?? Who is this Tony R?? Hmmm
 
Then like a hurricane, we enter the eye....all is calm, the sun is out, its not windy, not rainy. Just like when you get to the top of that hill on a rollercoaster, the peak...its calm.
 
FAG...... Holy KRAPP!!!.....we are now out of the eye, we have crested the rollercoaster hill and are on our way down, into the bowels of hell. Then when you think the ride is over...."...for a year..."
WHAT!!!! Holy Fudgepacker Batman.....!
 
The hurricane is gaining strength.....the ride is not over, we have many proverbial rollercoaster hills to crest yet.....We have to do all this to become a Collaborator?!!? An un-answerable question...certainly worthy of a follow-up release by artist chopper.
 
The impact of this post by chopper is epic...it leaves arcane-beautiful not in a 'beautiful' situation.
 
My first "post" review........I give chopper StarStarStarStar....Only 4 as we need to see how this release is followed up...or not. But certainly a very memorable release.

Awesome post.ClapClapClap


Yeah...Chopper's wasn't bad either.

BTW......Do you know what a fag is in Britain?
 
Ok...I give up Alex Trebeck must be trick question....."What is British fag?"...for the Final Jeopardy question...

You could start by writing the band's biography, as the information you come across while researching this will largely fill in the other spaces eg discography, personnel etc. If you Google ''Tribes of Neurot'' you'll get results from Wikipedia, MySpace, Metal Archives etc. Also, you can purchase or download their albums via the likes of Amazon; the downloads are much cheaper, but the cost will still mount up as they have quite a few albums already - at the very least you can listen to the free 30-second samples to get an idea of their sound. (Here's another thing about being a Collab... you'll have to listen to music you may not actually care for that much. Just something for you to consider.) Once you've written your bio in a Word document, copy and paste and send via Personal Message to a Special Collab (Windhawk in this case I assume Smile). EDIT: make sure to use your own words in your bio, although I think Windhawk already mentioned that. 
 
Here's the format/guide for writing bios (originally posted by Proglucky - see Band Biographies in How to Improve the Site):
 
We need to know the following information:

1- 1st paragraph: Short history, list of current and former members, style & similar bands

2- 2nd paragraph: Describe the better cds without mentioning their tracks.

3- End with mention (recommended, highly recommended or not) or brief commentary.

Special Notes: When using band names ... write them in UPPER CASE; album names should appear between quotation marks "..."  Ex: MARILLION "Brave".

EXAMPLE:

Go to Tony BANKS written by Lise (HIBOU), CANADA

IF APPLICABLE:

4- A band photo (if possible about 200 - 250 pixels wide)

NOT NECESSARY but useful:

5- A list of all releases (LP, CD, Compilations, Live) with year of release, track listing (track time), line-up and the cd/album label.

Slight corrections to description above - at least for the metal teams we don't require a biography set up in that manner. A description of the artist's or band's history and notable events will do just fine.

Recommended tracks and CDs are items of a highly subjective nature, and doesn't really merit mentioning. If they have releases that have made a generally noteable impact it's worth mentioning, but for most artists added to the database we're dealing with lesser known acts, and throwing out recommandations based on personal or another person's notions of what is or isn't good aren't really recommended.

Criterias for band photo size have changed, minimum 300 pixels and maximum 500 pixels. As I have photoshop a beter quality image isn't troublesome though, resizing and cleaning up quality isn't that hard.

Here is the picture of a (French) collaborator (the fat man in the middle) just before he was shot by the Communist resistance in Nouvion and then shot again by the some other collabs before he was paraded through his hometown dressed up in women clothes and the had to spend ten days in a poultry shed, hiding from the two ladies in the pictures, armed with enough weapons to start WWIV. 

Hands up, who want to become a new collaborator ?

Personally thinking, I really see it why someone would want to be a collaborator. Even if you don't get anything out of it but some respect among some internet people (the best kind of respect there is). At least you'd know, that you'd be doing something useful while listening to your music, and who'd not want to expand their hobbies, or even, their passions to something recreational and something they themselves could take pride of.

Hehe, I'd love to be a reviewer, maybe then I'd have more motivation for reviewing LP's. It's always possible, but usually I just rather consentrate on listening to it rather than making a review, which is fun too. I was a reviewer to one site once, and it made me feel pretty proud finding my name on the sidebar there :D But one thing: I know how the collabs are mostly chosen, and I respect the fact that they board is the one to choose them, not the other way around. If one would go sending PMs and requests, and I were to make the decision, I'd probably decline him/her. Basically because a humbleness is more respectable imo. Whatever, I'm just saying what comes to mind when instead I should be sleeping. With that: good night!
