Re: Looking to buy Moon Colony Bloodbath vinyl - 6 months ago

Thanks WC Sorry dacap, I've already promised it to someone. Good luck with your search. It should come up again on ebay at some point (hopefully someone won't be charging an arm and a leg for it).

Re: Looking to buy Moon Colony Bloodbath vinyl - 6 months ago

Hey all, I know it's been a while. I didn't want to start a new thread because this thread seemed similar enough. I'm looking to sell my black MCB vinyl to a friend but I wanted to give her a fair price on it. What did it originally sell for? I really can't remember. Thanks so much guys

Does anyone know who made those shirts originally? I'm thinking it probably was fans right? Can't really picture JD or JV making them.

Quotedtrom4 I've got pages and pages of spam posts from this board saved. I was thinking of using them as lyrics so I could focus on the musical aspects of songwriting. Feel free to use whatever you like: My only concern is that they sound poetic or interesting because they are stolen from elsewhere on the web and mashed up/embedded with links, so I feel it might be stealing someone elses'

QuoteZopilote Steel Eidyia that sounds more like spyware on your comp. than something on the site. I've had it before. Suddenly words that shouldn't be hyperlinked start getting hyperlinked and lead to spam. Maybe run an anti-virus or anti-spyware check? Hmm, strange. It's gone now. For a day or two, it was happening but just on this site. Ah well, fixed now

QuoteGoat-Tier When I first heard "First Few Desperate Hours", I heard "Yeah, When cloven-hoofed Prince Turnip in the garden, Yeah, When cloven-hoofed Prince Turnip in the garden." JD who is Prince Turnip and why is he in the garden and what is he even doing there>? This made me laugh so hard. I love the mishears. They're always entertaining.

Quoteacowkickedme what nutopia said. i'd donate essential organs to charity for there to be a third zoop, but i think there's just too big of a following these days for it to actually happen. I dunno, but is the following really that much bigger since two years ago? It's hard to really get numbers on this kinda thing.

Heyo, so I was wondering if anyone could check over the tab on the wiki for Prowl Great Cain? I tried playing it and I really don't think it's quite right. Maybe it's me. Not sure.

Re: tMG Cited - 1 year ago

This thread is ancient but I just wanted to add a little to it. Right now, I'm reading a mountain of poetry and writings because I'm taking two literature classes. And twice, I've come across works that I'm pretty sure that JD references. In the past, JD expressed his frustration with people wikipediaing song references and while I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with looking up r

Re: The Curtains - 1 year ago

This is so classic!!!! I'm curious to see if people will buy them. They might just. It's a pretty hilarious novelty item. ETA: Also, I hate to be a naysayer but I'm not sure if you can legally sell these curtains. It sounds kinda weird I know but I'm pretty sure an artist's image (i.e. their face) is sort of a part of their "brand." What I mean is, the reason these curtains would sell

I really can't tell whether this is serious or not. It seems like a satirical piece but I just can't tell. I've never known Fox News to write a satirical piece so that gives me reason to think it's for real. Are John Darnielle and JV not running for election this year?

QuoteEvilEivind Want something by Stephin Merritt, Jonathan Richman and They Might Be Giants as well, but can't quite decide what their happiest songs are.

I know it's a meme now but it's just an awesome song regardless.

And it's from a song that's decently happy I personally don't think I'd want to name my daughter after a really sad song. At least not one where the protagonist is destroying herself or other people.
