My friend Erica went with me to see SY on the Jimmy Kimmel show and she bitched and complained the entire time becuz her feet hurt. She is a good friend, but I talked a lot of shit and still don't let her live that down. If you can't look just as cute in flats then you don't need to be going to shows.

so true. i never EVER wear heels to a concert-i know my feet will hurt. y back usually aches already after a concert (i can't stand up for too long for some weird reason) so heels would definitely kill me.

Do you just talk about yourself without saying much about anything? You seem to give an account of your own life, which is fine, but you never say much about a myriad subjects. Just asking.

that's just because most people i know are so slf-absorbed they never ever listen to what i say. they expect me to help them through all of their problems but never ask about me.

that wasn't entirely serious but i get what you mean.. it's something i try to avoid, but it's not easy, and combined with the fact that i'm not good at formulating my opinions, definitely not in another language.. i'll try to pay attention. sorry if i bug you.

I guess that just depends on the value you put on some guy writing his name...

Air guitar is never acceptable.

Ever.

I place GREAT value in having a memento of my rock n roll idols. sonic youth are my beatles, they are my stones, they are my elvis, they are my nirvana.

"Sonic Life! -Steve Shelley"

In the privacy of your own abode is one thing, and even then, I hope it's followed by even a minute twinge of sheepishness.

I know someone who goes to A LOT of shows around here and does a sort of air guitar thing to pretty much everything. But it's less an actual air guitar thing than one of his myriad unique gesticulations so that's allowed I think.

air guitar is fine. do whatever you want. pogo, dance, whatever. there are no RULES except be considerate of your neighbor.

it is better though if you ahve the solos memorized before you air guitar

I repeat: Air guitar is never acceptable. In fact, no mimicry of the playing of any musical instrument is acceptable, exceptions being only when in an educational setting.

Anyone disobeying this rule is categorically a twat.

I went to see metal overlords Celtic Frost recently, and I saw this guy doing "the claw" constantly i.e. holding his hands out to the band in a claw-like grip. I really didn't get that at all. Well, I laughed a lot, but couldn't see the point of it. Is this something the young people do these days?
