They told me the same thing—that they won't touch it because they messed up the casts on both my arms. Now I have to see a private specialist just to get something functional. Not to mention, they completely missed the wrist fracture during my first visit, so I ended up having to go back two days in a row.
You always see those punks hanging around the Johnson & Johnson offices on the weekends—they tend to gather in that park near the NASDAQ building too. I guess kids just listen to everything nowadays because it's all so easy to access; most people pass through every possible subculture and genre before they hit eighteen, eventually just settling into being general alternative types, or what everyone calls "hipsters."
From rock fans like Zeke, to metalheads listening to Death, or punk lovers following Disaffected. Personally, I’m not much of a fan when things get too fast; once you pass 220 bpm, the music starts to lose its meaning for me. Honestly, I find some slower bands carry way more intensity than those speed demons who just sound like they're showing off how hard they worked out at the gym.
If only it had started at a decent hour—the opening acts were pretty much a waste of time—but here we are... just sipping on way too much coffee while I wait for 4:00 PM.
It wasn't actually available for purchase yet; it just arrived in the mail in pieces. Since there's a vinyl version coming out too, I'm glad I didn't rush into it. Honestly, once I have some extra cash, the first thing on my list is that *His Hero Is Gone* LP I've been eyeing for a while. I'll just grab this one when it hits the shelves, so there's no real hurry. I'm going to finish my beer and then head out.
I actually saw Cede walking into that dusty old shop the other day and flipped through the brochure, all before this thread even went live on the forum. My girlfriend is heading over soon, so we’re going out to grab a few beers.
I was listening to some Portishead—specifically "The Rip"—the other day, and it hit me how much that music makes you want to just give up on everything. It’s got that heavy feeling... almost like listening to old soul blues or something equally haunting.
