Rogue Wave sounds right, and I was wrong. And no, you don't want to live in Denver.

All time Favourite Concert: Death Cab at Red Rocks Summer '08 If I remember correctly, that show had some sweet openers. My sister went and I was jealous. That same summer, I'm pretty sure Modest Mouse played there, too, with The National.

Whoa now, this is a 100% on topic thread, and it's called "Quote Arrested Development," not "Quote wrong people."
"I don't criticize you! And if you're worried about criticism, sometimes a diet is the best defense."

Well done. Yes, my teacher made a copy of the story and then furtively handed me the magazine because, hurray coincidences, some kid had gotten in trouble that very day for having the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

Seth Rogen is funny, I never saw the movie about him as a mall cop, and Superbad rules.

This blows my mind because I thought Palahniuk had more or less stopped publishing things once I turned 20.
Terribly boring anecdote: For my high school creative writing class, I wrote a (god awful) story that sounded like a 17-year-old trying to write like Chuck Palahniuk. To give my teacher (I was in love with her) an idea of what I was going for, I brought in the recently published "Guts." Trivia points to the first person to correctly identify the publication and thus the punchline to this story.

Too bad I missed out on that exercise. One final note on Microsoft: Word pisses me off a lot and accordingly fuck Bill Gates.

When I saw Dave Matthews Band in August of 1996, about halfway through the show this unbelievably ripped dude came barging through the crowd, pushing people aside and screaming I GOTTA TALK TO DAVE! I GOTTA TALK TO DAVE! He pushes past me and makes it another ten feet or so; then he stops and turns around. The crowd parted like the Red Sea and there's this corridor of empty space between Wasted Dude and me. He points right at me and looks me right in the eyes and says, "YOU KNOW WHAT DAVE? YOUR MUSIC FUCKING SUCKS." Current frontrunner for best anecdote in board history.

It was actually a pretty funny initial post, but he started fulfilling expectations toward the end.
People, do not use this board to conduct illicit deals.

So people will get banned for selling at less than face as well, huh. Seems kinda harsh... Don't be a smartass.

Aren't Wavves well known because of their meltdown at Primavera (I think) last year? "Sorry, I took a cocktail of (fill in the blank 14 different drugs), and I didn't realize it would make me suck as a musician more than I do when I'm sober." I tried to get into their first album, because Pitchfork told me to, but I hated it. I'll give them another shot though. This is pure fucking knowledge, everyone. Just lie back and let it wash over you.

Any boycott works like this: People decide that they don't like something and stop supporting it with one of the few effective measures -- money. Marches and protests serve to draw attention to an issue and to emphasize that the public does not wholly support something. The boycott serves the dual function of (a) allowing a person to walk the talk, and (b) withholding financial encouragement, no matter how small. Here, Arizona is losing money. Obviously, it's not a lot of money. But these artists don't want to go and support this economy. You might not like how effective it is, but it's the band's choice to put their money (gas, food, whatever) and earn their money in states that don't have policies that offend them.

I wasn't being a jerk! I was just sayin'. They made songs before the turn of the century. Yeah but I don't have an 8-track player. Geez.
