Hi breeks, you should introduce yourself.:)

We're always welcome any contributions, perticularly creative input.

February 7, 2007, 04:31 PM
Some other suggestions:

Police Oppresion - Angelic Upstarts
Babelogue - Patti Smith
Subway Train - The New York Dolls
I Got The Door- The Bear Quartet
Suggestions here...
Sufraggette City - David Bowie
Interactic ESP - The Mars Volta
Entering stage after Dr Strangelove.
Leaving stage with Hoppipolla by Sigur Rós.

Good suggestions, Chartres.


I'm glad Lor was back!!
She had alot of school work and exams, is going to Helsinki for her relative's christening, hopefully soon to be back here.:)

Good suggestions, Chartres.

Thanks, is Lor coming back? We've missed her.


I'm not familiar with pretty much anything in the intro music but I'll trust you they're good songs. May I add my suggestions?:
Weezer - Across the Sea
The Cure - Cut Here
My Chemical Romance - Disenchanted (sounds NOTHING like emo pop-punk crap, it's kind of a ballad)
Elton John - Blues for My Baby and Me
The Smiths - Shoplifters of the World Unite

Since a long list of suggestions will likely result, I think we should decide upon a good number of songs then rotate them in and out every now and then for some variety for our loyal fans who follow us around the world. ;)

My Chemical Romance...? Oh my, what've happened to you?

Chartres
February 7, 2007, 05:37 PM
I've been an MCR fan since October! :p Listen for yourself: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4DGe-OD52UM

Sorry to say, that was horrible. The only band that has made any good music in that style is Millencolin and the only managed it with their first album (and that was a pure Ska album:)).

Chartres
February 7, 2007, 05:44 PM
Umm, okay. :p :rolleyes: I don't know what you define their style as considering it was different than the average emo crap nonsense but whatever.

What about The Cure, got anything against The Cure? ;)
I like this song better...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=zlYoYipVXUE
...but this one is of a more appropriate length
http://youtube.com/watch?v=c_FFgYodxWo

I'm not holding any grudge against The Cure and there's no problem cause it was 7:44;)

Chartres
February 7, 2007, 05:51 PM
That isn't too long of a song? If I was going to see a band they played an almost 8-minute long song while I was waiting for them to come on stage I might get a little bit POed. :p

So, umm, any new lyrics? New ideas? What about our first concert, where should we have it? It needs to really historic.

I was thinking about having 10.20.100 as one of the opening song so 7:44 is no real problem.

When it comes to the tour, we've just got three festivals planned if I remember correctly, anymore suggestions? Rock In Rio:D?

Chartres
February 7, 2007, 05:54 PM
What about a tour EP by the way? (Tour EP = songs written just for a tour but then they become so popular that they are released anyway).

But then we need some new material.

Chartres
February 7, 2007, 06:42 PM
I need to look up music festivals in the US. With all these long songs in the intro music, do we even need an opening act? We could even just put a large projection screen lowered onto the stage and play film of the bands playing these songs so it's like they're an opening act.

By the way what do you think of my new avatar and nickname? :p

Do so, I hoestly don't know any, don't seems like there's any internationally known.

They're nice, the new soft Kuiper:) .

Chartres
February 7, 2007, 06:52 PM
Yeah America doesn't have a lot of annual city music festivals, just the occasional touring one. I heard Mozzer did some kind of festival at the House of Blues in Chicago on the Quarry tour. I don't know anything about it, but if they accept him to play there, they'll accept us because we're just like Morrissey except better and more popular. :cool:

By the way, we (the whole band) should really start a dialogue on what we want the band's sound should be. Remember that I can do some of the music writing, because I think I can envision a theme for a song, the structure of, and might be able to write a melody or riff or something for some of the songs, but I'll need two collaborators.

Not to pigeonhole ourselves, but maybe we should start citing some songs as examples of a style of ours to develop and grow. Over time bands evolve, and so because we are total novices I think it actually is wise to kind of narrow down what we want to do at first just so we can start to grasp how to make music.


Hehe, the new soft Kuiper. :) I owe it all to a special Norwegian chick, because she mad me all girly or something, that's why I'm soft now. :p

Was not thinking about city music festivals, more like four days in the middle of a forest with 90 000 other people festivals.

Chartres
February 7, 2007, 07:08 PM
Sorry, what I meant was like they're in one place, usually near a city, just obviously in more open space. With how beautifully spacious my beloved country is, you'd expect to have lots of festivals. The only widely known festivals in America are full traveling tours.

Ok, could you possibly link one?

Lollapalooza. But now it's always going to be in Chicago for a couple years, so it isn't traveling anymore.

Oh my god, who ever made that site is mentaly ill. Horrid.

But, is there no camp or what? Isn't that just a city-festival?

I only read the minds of girls. Last time I checked you were a dude. So...either say something about our genre of music or say something else thoroughly entertaining and insightful about The Homosexers.

Ehum, do you possibly know the sound of The Bear Quartets albums "Moby Dick" and "Personality Crisis"?:o

Chartres
February 7, 2007, 09:25 PM
Okay, if you had to describe their style, how would you? Is it rather Smiths-ish, are there any rockabilly influences, how much do they "rock out", are they ever "poppy"?...

Also you better prepare a speech within a week because as best man you have to give a speech. :eek:

To qoute different people; Television, Burt Bacharach, Velvet Underground, Smiths, Go-Betweens, Sonic Youth, Dead Kennedys etc.

Later days also Radio dept. and Balck Sabbath:D

Did Chartres confirm if we were a bit rockabilly, because I would think that would add more mmph to the band.:)

Kuiper
February 8, 2007, 04:05 AM
I think we have touches of rockabilly and a slight new wave flare that fill out the sound and give everything in-between a little more depth.

...And technically speaking Chartres isn't fully in charge of the band. :rolleyes: ;) We have had dozens of members, so I think we should start being a bit more of a democracy, having votes on things. Like votes on what songs to cover, who we should tour with, what festivals we should play at, etc.

That's true, so I think the input of a good six or seven of the most present members seems to be the most important. I'm just saying that when new ideas come up, they would get proper attention if voted on in some way by the core of the group.

I wouldn't suggest mixing rockabilly and new wave into one song, but those two sides of our influences could add a nice touch to some songs. Right now I'm putting together a wishy-washy "manifesto" for what I think is possible for our style, intended only as a base for further discussion.

Umm, no one in particular, everyone knows the genres and know what they're all about. As for new wave, small traces of it can be found on a few Moz songs, but I'm a big fan of Duran Duran. Actually I prefer their less successful, less new wave-ish material from the mid to late 90s. But anyway both those genres aren't my favorites, but I like their overall sound and I think they can work very well in the right hands.

I know I overuse the term, but I used a total shotgun approach on this thing here. Rather than saying a few inconsistent, incoherent random tidbits about the band‘s music, I thought I might as well think of much as possible, whether or not it all fits together or even works in the first place, and let people critique as much as they want later. So here are a few of the points:

- All bands evolve. A first album has never, will never, and can never represent everything a band will ever do, nor can one album regardless of when it’s released ever reflect the whole of a band’s style (or at least a good band’s style ;)). So I am trying to pigeonhole a more definable sound to work with so we won’t put too much on our own shoulders. We’ll still have quite a bit to work with and some elbow-room, but besides not wanting to overwhelm ourselves, albums need to be consistent affairs, where all the songs work together and within the context of a unified concept.

- We don’t want to be too heavy and not at all aggressive. We will still be very upbeat and danceable at times, but no over-the-top “rocking out”. Let’s minimize the distortion and feedback unless they are absolutely necessary.

- I feel a clean, smooth sound is called for. A minimal number of overdubs unless they are really necessary to create the desired arrangements, and a rather clean production where ever instrument and effect is apparent and sufficient in and of itself.

- A subtle complexity within the arrangements, where there are various themes within the song and variations upon it, weaving a tapestry of internal-diversity while no particular component in a single appearance is too grandiose. Furthermore, most songs should have a very original bridge. It doesn’t have to be like a completely different song-within-a-song, just something unique as the preexisting arrangements dictate, none of the stale clichés of a guitar solo that is the exact same vocal melody or removing all background instruments and having an a cappella refrain.

- The good side of pop within our style. Nothing will be contrived like most commercial “pop”, but pop in the sense that some songs will have pop-like arrangements, somewhat upbeat, perhaps a prominent hook, etc.

- Intelligent yet accessible songs. They will be accessible in the sense that upon first listen you (if you have good taste ;)) will notice there is something good there, but it might take a few listens to full appreciate it. Not that there’s anything wrong with a song that takes twenty listens to even realize you like it or not though. So I guess you could call some of the songs “radio-friendly” in the sense people would probably like it if they heard it on the radio, but there’s no guarantee radio would actually end up playing it.

Input, please?

There's no need to cover a Duran Duran song, but of course if anyone is interested I would be happy to upload a few samples of their work that I prefer. Also, just a completely random sidenote, no one pay any attention to their upcoming album. I am sure it is going to be a disaster.

I know what you mean. There are certain bands that release a not so good album, and suddenly they are categorized into a certain genre. Hopefully that doesn't happen to us, but if it does I'm sure we'll always have a loyal fanbase.

I don't want to be a hard band either, mostly a band that is always full of energy lie, and can hit a note in the recording studio. Remember all of our shows will sell out in a few minutes.;)
If we have a good recording studio and producer the sound will be good. If we don't have a good producer, we'll fire him and get another. I mean I know you want to be commercial star, but I really don't want the band to be another Panic at the disco, because that would be really dissapointing. I don't want to be a one hit wonder, I want the band to have a continous career, I mean every point might not be good, but I want us to last and be remebered.

All of our songs will be unique, and we will have different styles and sounds, all we need is everyone's support. We'll take everyone's influences and find a way to incorporate it in. Like you said, the guitar should not be the usual, it should be something different that no one else has.

Of course we need to just be ourselves, we, well at least I don't want a cheap success. Even if at first we don't get much reaction, we have to be patient, because we will be discovered and then they'll be sorry for have ignored us before.

Stereotyping! Ugh! As Morrissey fans we are well aware of how tragic it is for someone as brilliant and diverse a writer as Morrissey (almost as good as us ;)) could be haphazardly written-off as always depressed and moping. This is kind of covered later on in the post, but it applies here too. Because we have diverse interests, I think we can channel it easily into something we can all agree on, because it will be good like everything we do! :p And of course we will have a loyan fanbase, we warn people they will be hooked for life on the covers of our albums. ;)


I don't want to be a hard band either, mostly a band that is always full of energy lie, and can hit a note in the recording studio. Remember all of our shows will sell out in a few minutes.

You hit the nail on the head. We are full of energy, but we don't want an overbearing, heavy sound. All we need to do is become accomplished musicians so we can sound as good live as our stage antics require. :p Oh, and yeah, all our shows will sell out in a few minutes. It couldn't be any other way!


If we have a good recording studio and producer the sound will be good. If we don't have a good producer, we'll fire him and get another.

I think we could mostly produce ourselves. We have the vision for it I think, but we will DEFINITELY need someone experienced like a good producer to help us. We don't need someone to put our songs together, we need someone to help us have our songs turn out the way we want. In fact I think Stephen Street said something like that about when he started producing for The Smiths.


I mean I know you want to be commercial star,

Hehe, I was just joking. But seriously I wouldn't mind doing a few, not cheesy or demeaning commercials for products I like. I mean, if my idol takes part in a cigarette advertising campaign subliminally targetting kids to smoke, I would be very very very mad. But if my idol starts in a commercial for some fashion line, I'm not gonna mind. So in truth I don't want to be an actual sellout, to be perfectly honest I don't see anything that wrong with doing a few commercials or promoting a few things.


but I really don't want the band to be another Panic at the disco, because that would be really dissapointing. I don't want to be a one hit wonder, I want the band to have a continous career, I mean every point might not be good, but I want us to last and be remebered.

I agree. I don't want to be a new fad or a one-hit wonder. I mean, a little hype is always a good thing, but I think we all would like to have a consistent career.


All of our songs will be unique, and we will have different styles and sounds, all we need is everyone's support. We'll take everyone's influences and find a way to incorporate it in. Like you said, the guitar should not be the usual, it should be something different that no one else has.

We will have plenty of time for experimentation and diverse styles and influences, but I still do recommend we, just for the first album, set our sights on something reasonably achievable and consistent.


Of course we need to just be ourselves, we, well at least I don't want a cheap success. Even if at first we don't get much reaction, we have to be patient, because we will be discovered and then they'll be sorry for have ignored us before.

One of these days someone from Sanctuary Records will be scanning the forums, thinking that perhaps it would benefit the label and Mozzer to have a high quality official site with a forum like this one. Then they'll stumble upon our thread, get caught up in it, and offer us a contract.

You know about Sing Blue Silver? So you are into their old stuff? Yes I do still love the material from their more successful days, in fact I think that era is overall more consistent than their later work, but what I like best about them, even if it came more rarely, was never played on MTV and never got onto the Billboard charts and was after they were no longer teen idols and no longer cavorted around on yachts (even though that is a really good video, Rio).

I'll randomly pick one of their later songs and upload it. Remember there is no pressure, I'm not forcing you to like it (whatever I may end up finding), and most of my favorites by them took time to grow on me.

Yeah I don't have a grudge or anything against their success, their first album is tied for my favorite of theirs. If they hadn't had hits then they wouldn't have produced the commercial flops at the end of the 90s that I love so much. Rio is a great video, the yacht and the cavorting are great, it's just after all that stopped they seemed to get better in my humble opinion...until just recently. Anyway here is the song. It is kind of a ballad, but I don't know, it doesn't quite fit into that category.

Well everything has to start somewhere. Deep down Morrissey and Johnny had musical ambitions, obviously, and they just got together and it took a while before they had a band lineup and before they started playing gigs, but it turned out very, very well as we all on Morrissey-Solo are well aware. Sure, then they lived in the same city, so they had that convenience :p, but you never know, I think we might actually be able to produce a demo tape from all the corners of the world. We e-mail around demo MP3s, record things on our own in our own home regions, and send them about. Maybe...

Now I'll just wait until it's downloaded, I really didn't know they did a lot of material in the 90's.

They put out these albums in the 90s:
Liberty - 1990 - Complete disaster with very little redeeming value.

Self-titled (nicknamed The Wedding Album) - 1993 - Spawned the hits Ordinary World and Come Undone, yet despite that critical praise the rest of the album is underrated and very good.

Thank You - 1995 - A very unpopular covers album that was wildly popular with the original artists of the songs. Bob Dylan said their version of Lay Lady Lay beat his by a country mile, Lou Reed said their version of Perfect Day was the best cover of one of his songs he'd ever heard and that it fulfilled the vision he first had for the song very successfully, and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin said their version of Thank You was exceptional. Despite that it was named the worst album in the world. http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/news/article353672.ece

Medazzaland - 1997 - Possibly my favorite Duran Duran album. Includes Electric Barbarella, which was the first ever song to be made downloadable off of the internet. Was another commercial failure because it's a little bit experimental and very unique.

Pop Trash - 2000 (written mostly in '98 and '99 though) - Their worst commercial failure ever. However, the tour promoting it was an astonishing success, which is a paradox. It is somewhat diverse album but not very groundbreaking to be honest, though I still like it a lot.

I was just thinking when we perform we're going to need a big stage for everyone to fit. ; )
If we don't become mainstream, I really hope we turn out like the Smiths. With geniuses writing masterpieces. And even if every person doesn't know who we are we will always have a gigantic cult following our every move. Well as soon as we get a demo tape, emailing we'll go

The Smiths actually did have their fair share of hits and were rather "famous" even if they weren't staples on radio or television. I picture us being like Morrissey is now. A lot of people will know who we are, every now and then we will have a hit non-fans will still download or buy the single of, and because of our cult following all our singles will become hits because our fans will buy all version of the single within the week of release.

I can't believe they named it worst album. I wonder if they had any reaction to that. That's great that they released four more albums. Why is it you are not very thrilled about their new album, is it expected to be a little to mainstream?
They must've felt happy to get compliments from other musicians.
Thanks for the song, I like it, and Simon's voice has changed evolved a bit. I like it.:D

Well I will still buy their new album and I bet it will have one or two good songs on it, but it sounds really awful what they are saying about it. The first single features Justin Timberlake, and while that is a very mainstream move, I wouldn't have anything against the desire to have commercial appeal but I just don't think it's going to be a good song. Also some hip-hop producer is producing several of the songs, and they mentioned including a reggae song and a few other things I forgot but I can remember cringing upon reading.

The upside is that I'm sure dozens of demos will be leaked. Their last album, from 2004 which was their big comeback as a reunion of the original five members, was certainly good, but there were at least five great songs they didn't release. They always do that, not knowing what their best songs are. But oh well.


As long as we are going off on tangents about non-Homosexer bands how about we talk about The Cure since we both are pretty big fans of theirs? My favorite album is I'm pretty sure Pornography, what is yours? And if I had to choose a top 5 of songs it would go:
1 - Pictures of You
2 - Mint Car
3 - Cut Here
4 - From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea
5 - One Hundred Years

Actually yes. The Constant Rider sounds like a fantastic idea, a great little interlude almost, and a great transition into EMS+D.

- The press being told ahead of time to not ask anything personal about me.
- A bodyguard, scratch that, 3 bodyguards, fully armed, and they need to be funny and into Seinfeld for me to want to be around them.
- My own private island, twice as big as yours.

- The rarest Smiths item in the world. Get in touch with Joyce and see if he'll finally post that Frankly with horns thing, and ask Goddard for the Decibel demo and A Matter of Opinion too.
- A top-of-the-line stereo system and turntable with a vast mint condition record collection.
- Every morning breakfast shall be provided that includes fresh-squeezed, low-pulp orange juice, pancakes, crispy bacon, and a few croissants and cinnamon buns.
- A chaperon to follow around bikie when I'm not there.
- A restraining order on chica and drunken goldfish because we all know they both have fantasies about me and rock stars and when you get combine those two things, well, watch out.
- A restraining order on Robert Smith. He still mistakes me for Charlotte Elise.
- A Jelly Beans jacket, even if the gang is on hiatus.

Let's see:
Wheelchair funds
Diabetes research
Adoption agencies
Anything involving downs syndrome
Special Olympics
Animal shelters

And because everyone won't be on the same page beyond those, the charity that comes out of my salary after the shares are divided up will go to missionaries, Bible funds, and pro-life causes.

I don't care how much everyone gets (even though BCE must recognize I deserve 10% higher than the second-highest salary ;)), just as long as that 10% of our profits goes to charity before we start dividing things up.

Should you get 10% more than everyone else...?

One thing they do at those industrial farms is give the cows some hormone that makes them produce four times as much milk, but certain parts of it (it is the most complex food on earth, in terms of what it consists of) are not increased. So milk produced by cows not being given hormones tastes 4 times better. These large farms also ultra-pasteurize their milk siginificantly decreasing its nutritional benefit. And that is besides how hard it is on the cows like you said. From the "illegal" farms the cows aren't given any hormones and live normal lives, and the milk is not pasteurized and retains all of its natural nutrition and ends up very good for the human and the bovine. :) But the government is quite insane that they actually do storm people's houses and arrest them for producing, selling, and distributing raw milk.

The hunting techniques remind of a certain "medical procedure" that was somewhat recently outlawed in the US.

Cruelty is entirely unneccessary. Once I was watching a special on that and it brought me to tears, it does everytime I think about it. It's just not fair and it truly disgusts me.

Well, I'd be up for any of the two, I kinda know how to play guitar but am a fast learner, and have always wanted to play the drums!!! Let me know tomorrow, I'll be waiting...I must be off to bed....long day tomorrow! So goodnight, sleep tight and sweet dreams kuiper. Goodnight love!;)

I think you should stick with drums because technically we still do have a guitarist. But of course two guitars is always a good idea. Maybe Chartres should be bullied into playing more than just the tambourine. :rolleyes: :p

Thank you it's beautiful! And it's deal, I'll be the drummer.....I should call Spencer and Matt for tips:-p (Right matt is the current drummer, can;t rmbr??)
And only tambourine?? Make Chartes work for it baby!:-p Goodnight.:-)))

Maybe all our single covers should relate to the meaning of the song. They won't be an obvious reference though. Like for example, if we had a single out that was about depression (though that doesn't sound very radio-friendly, does it? :p) something like The Starry Night by Van Gogh would be appropriate.

I mean, even the scene where he is talking to Lexus and her bodyguard is there, I never forgot they were kids, but they acted so adult, it made it so funny.

Goodnight, God bless, and sweet dreams, westendgirl. :) Wait, sorry, Spencer. ;)

Call me Deano, call me Spencer, it doesn't matter. I wish all the old guys were still in Moz's band. It would've been awesome to see them at the show. I was happy to see Boz though. He's been there for a long time and really good. It's nice to see he's hanging around. I better go practise! And for the slbum art cover, I like your idea. Making it relevent to the song(s) but not too obvios of course. Or shots from old classics, wouldn't mind those one bit!;)

^^Okay, Deano, good we're gaining some support for the "cover art that has a deeper meaning relevant to the deeper meaning of the song that shall not be revealed and not too obvious but if someone researches it and makes a few guesses might be able to figure it out" initiative. Might need a shorter name but it is still a good idea even if it needs some explaining.

Not always. Well, do you mean for other artists in general or for us? Much of modern cover art doesn't really reflect what the song is about, but some artists do try to symbolize the song on the cover. I was thinking we could try to locate an image that we think embodies the meaning of the song in a way that people need to really try and decode. Not like having a picture of a sunset on the cover because a song is called "Sunset" (as a completely random example), but something clever and confusing for our fans to try and figure out.

Well, isn't that what we have right now...?

I think I am gonna try and finish learning those three songs. Maybe I'll try Trouble Loves Me or the beginning part of Pigsty.

Yeah we were talking about the intro tape and exit song for concerts. Chartres posted a couple youtube links to hear the suggested songs.

Life is a Pigsty would be a great song to learn, I hope you get to that. I saw that you mentioned There is a Light, that does sound like a very good song for an exit, it always works great for Morrissey.

Especially on Who Put the M in Manchester?. ;) That song and Shoplifters, the crowd was so into it, it was like they both became a living organism, feeding off of and contributing energy. Okay that's a bit of a hyperbole, but I just love those two songs so very, very much. :o There is a Light is a perfect ending song, which makes me wonder why on earth The Smiths always played it so early in the set, and usually between more lighthearted songs like I Want the One I Can't Have or Ask. :confused:

It was on the 7th page:(


I love how at one point during There is a Light, he puts his hand on his head, with a look of disbelief, like all the excitement couldn't really be happening.

Just in time for Robby to make fun of this in his make believe thread. :D

I like it when Moz stands there, hypnotized by the disco ball, I think it was during Happen Someday.

Strange Fear

We're not make believe, so HA! to him

I know, he looks so into it. It's funny but when he's looking at the disco ball he takes a quick look into the audience through the corner of his eye. Not to sound childish, but I just wonder if he was looking at Julia.

The whole DVD is thrillingly entertaining. I didn't notice him take a quick look at the audience, I'll have to watch it again. I like the shot during LMKY when he kind of bows a bit, hanging onto the microphone stand, just as Mikey starts playing the trumpet. I can't really describe why, but it justs look so...something. I don't know. :p

One of my favorite parts is when he introduces the band. "Born in braised in Berntook (or something that sounded similar :o), Boz Boorer", "born, we think, Alain Whyte", "born, for some reason, in Cleveland, Mikey Farrel", "there is no evidence I was actually born" :D I hope I got all the lines right, I probably didn't, my mind isn't so clear right now. :p

It's really awesome. I think I know what part you mean, where he kind of makes this swift movement without letting go of the mic, I loooove that part.

Yeah I think you got it right.;)
You just forgot the part when Alain saids, "Actually in Camden." "He's trying to tell you he was born and braised in Camden town""

Kuiper
February 24, 2007, 01:29 AM
Yes I remember that. :D But Alain didn't write Come Back to Camden...think about it...or not...:o

I love it at the end, where Deano throws out the drumsticks, the replacement snares, all the stuff into the crowd. He does a great job at distributing it, and he is an excellent thrower. :D

I know, whenever I throw papers they never make his distance.:o
I really like the video that they show of Manchester in the beginning, this is going to sound weird, but the first time I saw it I cried, it's just a really beautiful sight, especially because it's our Moz's hometown.

Do you have any new ideas for the band.

Kuiper
February 24, 2007, 01:41 AM
I don't really have any new ideas. You know, your mind cycles, you move on to new things, and after a little while you go back to older stuff. So I think we'll all be buzzing about this thread in just a couple days. Right now though I've got other stuff on my mind. :o

It's sad to say this thread hadn't really crossed my mind either. It scares me when other things can preoccupy our minds so much.

This idea will be really fresh in around a week. I know it will be. ;)

But of course we can hijack this thread! :D
A topic...
Eye colors
There are a handful of common types, but there doesn't seem to be as many really rare ones as I expect. What unusual color for an eye do you think would look good and what unusual color for an eye do you think would look bad? Remember that most of what humans consider "normal" in terms of appearance is based on what we are used to as babies, so common eye colors seem very normal and uncommon ones seem very abnormal.

I think indigo eyes would be beautiful. I've heard some people have slightly violet eyes, but I have yet to see any evidence. But I wish I had indigo eyes. Orange eyes would not look good I think, it just looks...unhealthy...to me.

Strange Fear

Indigo eyes would look beautiful, and the violet ones sound very cool. Orange eyes would look a bit scary. Tan colored eyes would also look very scary.
I love the color of Moz's eyes, a dark blue that many times shine beautifully in light.:D

I was just wondering if you like the movie Tommy Boy?

Kuiper
February 24, 2007, 02:20 AM
Yes I do. :D I haven't seen it in so long though, I can't remember many specific quotes, but I think I can remember the gist of a lot of the scenes.

Have you ever seen Groundhog Day?

Strange Fear
February 24, 2007, 02:29 AM
Cool.:D "Luke, Luke, I am your faaaaaaaaather" It's one of my favorite comedies.
I also love Groundhog Day, I think I would also go a bit crazy if Sonny and Cher woke me up every morning.:p

Found these two as I wrote and forgot. Not too pleased with them, unreleased demos perhaps.

You've Had Her
Yes you've had her
but she did not want you
you're a child of your age
looking out your window
did you even know her name?
You've had her allthough
she misstook her feelings for
freedom for any guilt
no need fro explanation
people can't say "no" these days
atleast nobody knows
atleaste her
whom you've had
so dream on for you
for you this isn't about
the hunt
you've had her
you've had her
so there's no reason to complaint
(Gloria in excelsis Deo)

She Sailed Away
She sailed away
across the earth
the dirty land
travelling on dust
He sailed away
of pure boredom
and so he looked
to the ground where he
stod and he froze
Someone stayed home
someone stayed home
and was safe

Oops, found another one.


This Elevator Is Slow
even though this elevator is slow
allthough my stalker is not looking
on my back
allthough my stalker is not looking
i always get the feeling that the
stalking is my own benefit
so i turned around towards him
and introduce myself
and he replies "sure Steppie, i know
who you are,
you think this elevator is slow,
there's a opera about that
but take that beret and your
red wine, and go to the twenties
when you were really free
let's find yourself at the brink of
ragnarök
what you need is a boy and not a
saint"
I said "want to stay in bed”

Chartres

You had posted You've Had Her and This Elevator is Slow before, but we've never seen She Sailed Away. I like all three of them. :)

Hehe, my memory sometimes. Didn't even knew I had written it:p
