Not too bad. It's definitely some fresh material, but what sold me right away was the album cover. Probably single-handedly one of the best album covers I have seen.

For The Boy Bands Have Won?

That album actually holds the record for the longest album title. It even beats out Fiona Apple's When the Pawn.... The full title is
The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.

Yes, for The Boys Have Won. I have never seen an album cover like it before and it really sums up the music industry.

I'm not saying I am a huge Tubthumper, but I have complete respect for what they stand for as a band.

You better fuckin' look like Benjamin Linus though. That would take a lot of work! I dunno, recently, people have been saying that I look like Brutus from Popeye. I know the answer is in this thread somewhere, but is the meetup on Friday? Are we all going to wear name tags with our usernames?

Hanchy here are the short answers: I think the basic plan is to meet at the corner of Shitfaced and Biffy. BEERS OF THE WORLD STAND - 4:45 - RIGHT BEFORE BIFFY CLYRO GOES ON. /THREAD

One thing we for sure ain't doin' is wearing nametags. I'm eager to be among you cats as a real person and not as a Horned Gramma.

If you think for a single second that I'm going to address you by your real name then you are sadly mistaken! Mr. Gramma at first, then just plain old Gramma after we warm up to each other a bit

I've never really had a nickname that stuck. Oddly, if "Gramma" sticks...?
...yeah, I'll be fine with that.

It's either that or "D."
Choose your path.

Yeah... I pretty much figured everybody would be calling me Hanch... But I'm down with whatever.
I guess we could always use the "Boarders revealed!" thread as a reference on who's who then...
Btw, thanks for the info Stormy:)

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up, we'll have a canopy with solar lights and a big green Celtic Football Club flag flying in the air if anyone wants to stop by for a beer! The flag looks similar to this but with the word "Celtic" on each side of the crest. Have a great Sasquatch everyone!

I've been gone but I'm 90% caught up and I haven't seen evidence of an official board meetup plan. Maybe this is because we know each other better this year but I want to have the experience of lurkers watching from several feet away as we hang out. So what's the plan?
