this is a pure rock-geek moment guys.
your mum told you rock and roll was bad for you...she was right!

3ifs: I had that same one on my work computer for a while.

and Acacia Strain down-tunes to "G", so they've got my vote!

I have to say the scenester fight raises my blood pressure significantly less than do fights about furniture.

Carry on, scenesters!

Despite my recent leanings toward The Futureheads, The American Analog Set and other really un-tough music, I fully admit to my undying love of earlier Earth Crisis (who couldn't love the chugga-chug of "Firestorm," which, by the way, reminds me a lot of the other post of what to do with gasoline and a match... but I digress)

And somehow, despite my fondness for mid 90's millitant vegan hardcore, my background image is:

"Street by street, block by block.... we're taking it all back!"

Cool picture, mm! What the heck is it? (Should I know this?)

Bigness you were the first to reference "toughness" - I could care less about physical prowess when it comes to music - I rarely listen to hardcore. You tend to "grow out of it" after a few years.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't throw down in the pit before.

Now i'd rather watch some nerd play with his laptop! hehe.

Garpike, it's an image of 2 Columbus Circle. It's from the NY Times article by H. Muschamp on the building's "social history."

And JP, "growing out of" hardcore is just self justification for the fact that you sold out.

Kidding. Please don't beat me up, tough guy.

Sold out of what?

I'm still in my "Crew", I still support my friend's bands. I just prefer different music....

NCXHC for as long as I care man.

let me refer you to THIS

Oooo perfect opportunity to plug my band:

The Press Fire!

If in LA, come out and see us, or rip into us right here on Archinect. Do your worst. The band will remain bass-less until I recover, but I'll be back!

i've got a blurry lo res image of 'a walking city' by archigram

Whatcha know about THIS?

circa 1998 or so...

i call that a quiet evening at the gentlemen's club. superb indeed.

no 'press fire' for me until the bass is walk'n..

I've been very stressed lately, and dealing with some distasteful issues, so I decided I need a stress-free and cheery image on my computer. I selected this guy:


Thanks 8888 for telling me how to make it so!

^that little guy is cute...
