Hey Formspring comes through with a legit question! Albums, always albums. I listen to and enjoy artists who have good songs but maybe not a whole album but the ability to craft an entire album as a single piece has always impressed me and will always be my preferred choice.

It depends on a lot of factors, how long they were together, how much I liked them, if I had any personal connections. I know when San Francisco based Low Red Land broke up I was pretty bummed. They were a great band, making great music and who sold me both of their albums for the price of one because I drunkenly said, "I'll review it for punknews," at a show.
However, there are tons of really small local acts who have probably formed and disbanded without me even knowing.
It varies.

Fromspring, have you ever heard of "Crust punx"? Because, if not, I'm about to fuck your world up.

Years of aiming just high enough to avoid crashing into the earth....Of course...if you keep that straight line (not fluctuating for gravity) eventually just costing sends you shooting off into space, past the atmosphere and beyond the stars! Where you can scream, "Fuck you, earth! I barely got by and now I'm in space! Eat a bag of shit!"
Never aim high, just aim far.

Is there not a Mythbusters rerun on? That should always be your first choice.
Always.

As little as possible, if I can avoid it. I try to park in an underground structure at home and my work has underground parking as well. If it wasn't for the 10 feet I went outside to walk to get my cup of coffee I'd never have to breath crude, unconditioned air.

Please finish this, I want to hear!!!
But yeah, there are for sure areas we overlap. Not to extend the point but there's areas we'll overlap with Rolling Stone and Pitchfork too. It's the nature of the beast. But AP.Net does cover a huge swath of bands Punknews doesn't and vice versa. And that's pretty refreshing.
Though I mean it, I'm interested on your take on the mentalities. Please resend that.

They're good for covering a different section of music than we cover. Personally (and this is in no way reflective of anyone but myself) I've never liked their site in terms of design and appearance. It has always been hard for me to really look at for any period of time.
But, they are good at what they do and I hear they make more money than we do...So I'm jealous.

Good question. Thanks to the internet, all music is free!
-Rich -
No, because comparatively I know nothing about music or musical instruments. I have no idea if that album is good, but your reasoning for buying it seems sound, or at least pretty bad ass.

You can't possibly answer that question because there's so much wrong with that movie that is beyond the ending. First, why did this old woman come onto the expedition looking for the necklace just to regale us with three hours of erotic tales that are only tangentially connected to the necklace?
Seriously, remember this whole thing begins because they're looking for a necklace and find the drawing of some naked dame in the a safe on the Titanic (probably Billy Zane's spank bank) and this old ass lady is like, "That's me! let me tell you about the necklace...but first, here's the time I fucked a bum in a car on a boat...and then totally fucking murdered him so I could live."
There's nothing romantic about that movie at all. It's about a selfish, shitty woman who grows up into a self shitty old woman, who throws a priceless necklace off a boat because......I don't know! Because Fuck History!
Worst movie ever.

Good question.
Racism?

I fully understand this feeling. I had no idea The Menzingers had released an online exclusive of "I Was Born" which had acoustic songs not on "Chamberlin Waits". I'm not 100% sure why bands/labels do this but I imagine it's in part to keep a band in the news cycle. Your album comes out, that's news. You have an exclusive track somewhere else, also news. I think it's just a way to keep people aware (which is increasingly difficult in the 24 hour news cycle of punk rock).

What? No. Out. Maybe? No.
