My rant du jour:
 
People who plug up my email with various warnings and online petitions that are simply urban legends. As you can see, it's my email, so I'm actually on a first name basis with these people. All I can do is send them the URL to snopes.com hoping they'll take the hint and check there first before sending their latest warning. One day I hope to get through to people.
 
By the way, not only do I not like Dave Mathews Band music, I hate the university crowd that think they're cooler than everyone else because they've been fans before he became cool. Uh, that's nice but the music still strikes me as bland.

yeah, they got popular when i was a sophomore in college, but i could never see what the big deal was, even though their drummer is talented.  some of my friends were addicted to them, and looked at me like I was crazy that I didn't even LIKE them.  Instead, I was into "messed-up" music (read: Yes, KC, et. al.)

Is this the new Velvet Room?

I play Opeth in the car too, that probably works quite well.

I haven't heard much DMB, but they're very bland.  Still, there is much worse today unfortunately.

I've heard more than I will ever want to, bland, bland, bland, just atypical fratrockDead.

I wonder what people think of Taal blasting out loud... or PoS... or god forbid, VdGG!  They must think I'm the devil incarnate.

I quite agree Mike, boyracers in souped up hatchbacks playing Hip-Hop stupidy loud.

I call it "Traffic Light Music".

It's bad enough for the poor souls trapped inside, but must the rest of the world be forced to listen to that rubbish?  Honestly, how can you even enjoy the music if it's turned up so loud that people can hear it a mile away.  Every time I hear somebody blasting some sh*tty rap obnoxiously loud, I feel like I must listen to some real music in order to redeem myself.

And I also hate when people wear popped collars.  They look so incredibly stupid!

Couldn't agree with you more

^ I get pretty obnoxiously loud.  I have a sub in the trunk, which really pounds when I roll down the windows and sing Genesis.

The bass player from DMB has guested with Gov't Mule, my second favourite band.  Stefan Lessard his name is.

Well, there is a difference between loud and obnoxiously loud. Tongue

Apparently Dave Matthews has just hit the UK!  He's got a whole concert on the radio over here soon.
