Basically everything, the jam-like atmosphere, guitar solos...

Also, Tub Ring are reminding me of Mr. Bungle. the keyboard player followed mr bungle on their 1996 tour and their second album was produced by trey spruce from mr. bungle and secret cheifs 3

I think if they had a chance of getting in, Avant is probably it. I'm not a fancy Avant expert though.

Over-Nite Sensation is good, I agree.  I haven't heard Zoot Allures yet so I can't comment on that one.

Ah well, I'm going to bed.  Seeya later everyone.

I have to admit, I don't really have a basis to judge as I've never engaged in recreational drugs, but it really annoys me that so many people's leisure time entertainment revolves around substance abuse. There's more to life than inducing abnormal chemical reactions in your brain!   As for me, I briefly considered joining the military (lol), but they don't even want me because I'm depressed. And I weigh 181.5 pounds, but I ate like all day today so that's probably not true anymore. I feel like a teenage girl or something.

I did the opposite, I sat around until about 4 and finally ate about 5 sausages, then I sat around and finally decided to have something because my mom was cooking something. If I was alone I'm pretty sure I would have had a handful of chips all day.

I weight 145ish. Eep.

I also have a new phone with a keyboard (f**k yeah 2005!) so I have the ability to text efficiently to any female (!) And then I realized no one initiates contact with me unless it's to work for them, so I'd have to start talking to people and building relationship with people I honestly don't find all that much in common with. And then I got a bit sad. Right now I'm thinking most girls high college I've met are just nothing like me, or only like me in tangential ways, like being interested in literature or reading XKCD. Nothing I really care about. I wish I had better abilities in talking about sh*t that I don't care about.

my girlfriend does all the texting

Na,h it's not even like that. There's a fundamental disconnect. I don't really value money that much, or school anymore. I'm hesitant to even get involved with anyone now if anything like that arose because I won't be living here much more, and I feel like making sh*t money and making music on the side is not the thing 99% of the girls in college want to get involved with. But then I also am afraid that's going to be the problem to deal with for awhile.

Yes, I'm afraid that, unless you find a sympathetic heiress, most people aren't going to want to live with a starving artist.
