Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
I'll see if I can dig up any thread along those lines but it's possible one doesn't exist yet. In that case you can just make a new thread and sometimes threads like that take off. Sometimes there are slow points but other times people latch on to a certain thread and discussion goes on for a while. Some threads end up sticking around for years and get bumped every now and then.
Sweet. I'll keep an eye out and sift through some old threads and see what I can dig up. I generally use last.fm for music suggestions, but I'm looking for a new way to find new music that is a little more social - I don't really have any friends on there. I also heard rumblings that it was going to be shut down anyways. Thanks again!
If you're looking to discover new music then you need to check the "Now Playing Dos" thread. Dos meaning two (the first thread broke or something). If you scroll through that you can find a ton of great recommendations and if you want to get into specifics you can tag a certain poster and ask them for more of the same.
There's also the "Album of the Month" thread that tends to have a lot of good discussion and voting for best new albums of each month.

Hahaha wow. I have been wondering what the "Dos" meant since I joined. I assumed it was a common acronym I hadn't figured out yet, so I was hesitant to ask since I figured it was obvious.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I'm creeping up on my last.fm account being 10 years old. that's 10 years of personal music statistics. and I love it so much. if last.fm needs me to click on the ads hosted on their site a million times to stay alive, I WILL.

There is hope. That information I had was several months old. I know Last.fm keeps losing money. I guess their solution was pulling the radio service and focus on suggestions - which is fine with me, that's all I used it for anyways.

I really don't want to be an adult today. We got like 5 inches of snow, but I still had to work. I was really looking forward to my first snow day in a long time and being 16 again.
I guess I'll have to get real stoned and get Taco Bell after work to relive my childhood today.

Even if we are in a level 3 snow emergency (can be ticketed if you're on the roadway) I'd still have to go to work. They will send a deputy to come pick me up because I'm considered an "essential employee." Ain't that some booooshiiiit?

I didn't even like Radiohead until 3 years ago (I admittedly had awful taste in music, but it's all I knew). I had the same thing happen with Kanye, and I'm also now the one who seems to be "defending" him, when I'm really just standing up for people as a whole. Nobody deserves to be hated by millions of people that don't know shit about you. When I say more consciously open minded, what I mean is that you have to acknowledge those premature, negative sub conscious thoughts and understand that they're silly. Once you do, it makes it very easy to see if you actually like a band or not upon a first listen. It isn't to suggest you aren't open minded, because you really seem to be. It's just something we all need to be more conscious of in this day and age where most of the music we hear get's analyzed and picked apart before we even hear it. Taking this approach to music over the past few years has really had an enormous impact on my entire life though. I call it stubborn objectivity.
Hell yeah I'm all for this. I firmly believe awareness is the key. Like so long as I can step outside myself for a second and realize the absurdity of my emotions it opens up the door to overcoming a negative pattern.
Yea, the Music Lounge has a lot of good threads but some get buried. If you have a specific topic or discussion you're thinking of you can always ask here and people can point you in the right direction (if a thread similar to that topic exists).
Right. For example, I'm really into 80's goth/post-punk stuff right now and would like to have a discussion about the genre and essential artists/albums to listen to. I just wasn't sure if enough traffic passed this board that would foster such a discussion.
I'm a big post-punk guy, I think it was one of the most thrilling times in modern music.
If you haven't already check out Simon Reynolds amazing history of postpunk: Rip It Up And Start Again
It's a really fun read, basically tracing post-punk from its punk roots through new wave to the dance floor all the way to its effect on arena rock.
Movie-wise "24 Hour Party People" is a lot of fun too.
So many essential bands, obviously Joy Division/New Order, Public Image Ltd, Cabaret Voltaire, Gang of Four, The Fall, Pere Ubu, The Birthday Party. More into goth you've got the Sisters of Mercy, more into synthpop Depeche Mode, more into rock Simple Minds.
ice is so much worse than snow or even cold temperatures - it's so dangerous. and even if it warms up enough to melt, you still run the risk of it re-freezing over night when the temperature drops.
I can't think of anyone else's winter troubles when I have to either walk or take the bus back and forth to and from work with a -23 wind chill over the next ~36 hours. Pants, sweatpants, two pairs of socks, hat, two pairs of gloves, t-shirt, long-sleeve shirt, hoodie, coat, hat, boots. Come at me, winter. You ruthless cunt.

this is why I have no clue how anyone can not have a car living around here. best of luck.

Did recon on the hill to ascertain the likelihood of me going to work tomorrow. Ate it hard on the way down. Had three near falls on the way up. The bottom third of my hill is a solid sheet of ice. The road mine turns onto is pretty nicely packed ice and snow that has been untouched by the loving hands of a plow. Looks like my unplanned vacation continues.

stay safe, dudes!
Finally a Yankee that doesn't turn into a smug prick when we complain about snow and ice (it's almost all ice this time). I knew I liked you for a reason.
