my laziness and ingnorance pays the bills and for me to travel.... that is some goooood laziness

You're a freak, dude. Haha Savage Clone now knows how dumb you are too, beyond any doubt.

Maybe I should apologize though, after all, you may be daft due to genetics and your environment, factors somewhat out of your own control. Maybe it's not that you're entirely lazy and willfully ignorant.

I'm sorry to upset you. I apologize.

guess what, i don't care what savage clone or anyone else for thaat matter thinks of me. And i couldn't give a shit about your hollow apology. I would just prefer it if you were nice to people rather than giving them shit for asking a question. I hijacked this thread cos i knew exactly why you posted it, so you could try and get others on your side, as insidious as you are you are easy to see through. Especially when you change posts to make it look like you are trying to be nice after someone calls you out on being an asshole. Lets leave it at that. Cheers

You're right, the "apology" was a taunt.
I can see you're not insane. That's good.
Although, then again, a little insanity could do
nothing but help your tightly-wound ass.

And I was hoping anyone could see why I posted the thread.
Refrain from patting yourself on the back for that.

All you did is save me a little explaining to those that
weren't following the other thread all that closely.

There's an awful lot of people in this world that can get by and have some degree of financial success that also happen to be notoriously pig-headed individuals.

lol, oh i'm totally an idiot, but that doesn't make atari right. i just like really simplistic shit... i love the sound of guitar feedback. it's a hobby i do from time to time for fun. and i do know chords, there's even a few songs i can actually play all the way thru! gasp! i just prefer to to play "textural sound" (love that phrase by the way) stuff more.
i feel all important that peopel are talking about me in a thread when i wasn't even in it! what's really funny is i clicke don this thread thinking it was gonna have atari in here spewing some type of trash talk... and whaddya know... i was totally right!

I play instruments. But I'll tell you what I'm buying rather than what I already play and own:

I'm buying a banjo and mandolin from from work real soon.

that's called exaggerating... maybe that should be yr new word for the day.

Maybe yours should be "inarticulate."

oh no, i'm the villiage idiot, that word sounds way beyond my comprehension! sounds like a $10. word to me.

In avantgarde1's defense, I think he/she was just doing the whole "I'm just like Sonic youth, mannn. I just create rather than know anything technical or structured, mannnn. I'm just like thurston.".

yeah... no. and c'mon?!?! he/she?!?! what girl do you know named jonathon?

You could be a shemale.

oh yeah, didn't even think of that. man that'd be awesome!

I play bass guitar. I have an effects pedal for it. But I am interested in trying out the drums or a banjo (tried it in a folk music store one time and thought it was fun)

How is that in his defense? All that shows is he doesn't know what's up. I was trying to let him know what was up.

And rather than write it again:

It's just that they sound different due to the alternate tunings and heavier string gauges which get a different tone out of the instrument. Thurston, Lee and Kim also learned standard tuning before they ever tuned any differently.

Sonic Youth have done some strictly "noise" songs. "Mieux: De Corrosion" springs right to mind. But, contrary to popular belief, Sonic Youth are not a "noise band." They are most definitely a noisy band most of the time, but purely noise they most certainly are not.

i'll give atari this... when he fucks w/ people he goes all out. he is very dedicated. see i gave you a compliment, now you try.

You're not going to get a compliment out of Atari, he's just spam.
