Pick your favorite listening room at Unknown

Benjamin Hernandez4 said:...but seriously, tell me where you found that little cowboy emoji you used in your last post? I don't have that one in my emoji picker at all.....

Well, of course you don't have it—those are actually custom DIY cowboy emojis I made myself.

Cheers...

I went ahead and picked out the gunpowder and C4 from the display case

Honestly, I think we really need this 🙂 cowboy hat smiley face

I’d much rather have this 😁

It has come to my attention—and I've been noticing this more lately—that there's an increasing trend of people taking images directly from this wonderful site and linking them straight into other forums, or various other corners of the web...

Now, look, I truly appreciate the sentiment, Srbin—really, I do—it’s wonderful that you want to share your interesting finds with the rest of the world... but, well, the way you're doing it just isn't quite the right approach. If this website were merely a static gallery of images, then sure, they could just sit there in a row, and anyone could grab them if they felt like it...

But that isn't the case here.

If someone genuinely wants to view the photos, they should take the time to visit the full website—perhaps even register, leave a thoughtful comment, or maybe even send something nice our way...

Therefore, there is really no point in going through the trouble of copy-pasting a direct URL to a specific photo... because, well, that won't be an option anymore...

Thank you.

Are you referring to this one?

Oh 😠
this

it seems like 😈

Back in the day on Xet, we always used the term "listening lounge," whereas over on those old message boards, people just called it a "room"... honestly, it feels like you younger folks grew up with the old-school board terminology.

Give me a break!
I swear, I see some weird stuff every time I log on.
Total snob alert over on 27U.

Don't go wasting your breath trying to defend Chloe Wilson11; instead, why don't you come find us so we can give you a little lesson in how a real hit feels while Red Alert blares in the background?
It’s on the house.

I'm not going to be able to handle any more concerts looking like I just went ten rounds with a heavyweight after this.
honestly, doesn't matter if it's some dive bar or a massive arena, as long as the music is full of that soul-crushing heartbreak...

major snob alert over at Xet

hehe you totally misread me... back about 8 years ago, I was actually one of the two guys deciding whether we should call it a "listening room" or just a "listening space." Even though the second way is shorter and easier to say, the first version felt more right to us, and honestly, it’s more grammatically correct too...
ever since then, everyone at the club always used the first term, so seeing what Emily Thomas3 wrote really caught me off guard...
it's kind of like how they used to charge an "entrance fee" at Xet, but lately, it's more like an "admission charge"... personally, I liked the old way better, but I guess time just moved on, just like it did with the terminology. 😉

As for listening station number 4, I honestly think Mate would get totally overshadowed since those Banderas bands are way more mainstream and have a much bigger following... so yeah, station 4 just doesn't make any sense. 😳

It’s the same deal with how they used to charge for entry at the local dive bar versus how they do it now—just charging a cover fee. Personally, I preferred the old way, but I guess time just moved on, just like it did with those listening rooms. 😉

That stuff above sounded way too snobby. Not anymore, though.

miss l on the road said:ughhh... why does everyone always have to write listen? 🙂

Yeah, they’re missing the f-ing
point.
Three shots of Zoloft 🙂might do the trick

Chloe Wilson11 said:As for listening room number 4, I think Mate would totally lose out because those punk bands are way more popular and have a much bigger following... basically, room 4 just doesn't make sense. 😳

Yeah, yeah, they're just stalling. IMO, it’d get massive support. And since I don't even listen to that punk stuff anyway, it would be a landslide victory. Unless Fifi refuses to let me play it, 😉
anyway, I highly doubt they'll actually give me the green light.

@slowpulse: how do I set up a poll?

By the way, most people in Austin just call them listening rooms. Honestly, though, I don't really care what you call it.

It’s not just a bakery... it’s a whole different level of craft...

It’s not a dessert shop... it’s a bakery...

It’s not a listening room... it’s a listening sanctuary...

Everything is going so incredibly downhill that I’m honestly at a loss for words. This is nothing short of criminal.

H slide those slides away, because looking back feels like an uphill battle, a real struggle... 👍 🙂
