But we listen to so much more...
death cab, the strokes, the streets, thievery corporation, charlatans UK, the libertines, babyshambles, the unicorns, stars, death from above 1979, the stone roses, happy mondays, the la's, the smiths, the jam, style council, the verve, black rebel motorcycle club, copyright, the amber room, the list goes on.
Fuck perfection. We are the band anybody can be. We are not going to wax poetically, we are not going to analyze and desconstruct. We are music. We are rock and roll.
We have never known a world wiithout the beatles or the Velvet Underground. We were born when the greatest rock icons had already made their mark and etched their tags on the psyche of society. They led the revolution, and we are the children of their republic.
What choice did we have but to pick up the guitar and let life flow from fingertips to wood to microphone. We are the channel and the signal is aimed at you. Prepare to receive, and exist.
Hello. Just saw you were online and realized that Downward Spiral is just what I need right now. Still love that song to pieces. Are you guys working on anything new lately?
if i had a fundraiser party for amnesty international, would you guys perfom? how much time do you guys need to prepare? i can't have it for at least a month.
What fun is life if you can't pretend you are more harcore than you actually are. they also say that a slanted cap is slightly less dykey than a straight forward cap. the jury is still out on that one. got the glasses on davie street. but you don't wear glasses do you? anyways, the best part of that picture is that i'm wearing the leather jacket elisa got me for my bday. talk about being a grade A friend! i don't know how i'm going to top that one. maybe i'll buy her some glasses frames.
I guess you are expecting a little bit of this action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nYZPPB2idI
But let's not forget Liddell's Pride fight with Rampage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQOGIFFs85E
I personally don't think the fight will ever even make it to the ground. Ortiz's take down skills are no match for Liddell's sprawl. And we know who is the better striker. You got it! December 30th, baby!
donald help me. my background picture of charlie makes it difficult for people to view all the important things on my page! can you make it like sanjay's page? but i want it to be kitty instead of what he has.
and why is kitty looking at me suspiciously lately? and asking me questions about craig?
I would feel special having a song written about me. Charlie wrote a song about Starlight Republic, too. Here are some of the lyrics, "Starlight Republic, Donald and Joanne, Of the band, I am a fan, Dear Joanne, Nice to meet you, Dear Donald, You smell like poo. Now give me some attention."
