Innocuous things that make you irrationally angry (a list thread)

why you braek heart

I have the attn span of a golden retriever puppy w/r/t music. I went to a show on Sat that shd have been good or at least innocuous and I tried to relax and ~vibe with it~ or w/e but fuck it I just hated those bands.

:(

:(

more dirty dronerock boys for the rest of us

:(

Get off my case! I like shouty pop/pop punk/slop rock and songs no longer than 4 minutes or so.

xp haha yes, mookie.

:(

:D

Do they ask for the results of the screening before they hand over the cash?

nope!

I'm glad I got a whats-up from carl at least, jeez.

just sad, no judgment

I feel so much better getting that off my chest. I felt tooootally lame on Sat cos the cool kids were standing around kinda vacantly, sloooowly headbanging to the beats which were like a geological age apart, and I drank too much beer and tried to keep present by talking too much but it felt like slogging through mud in my brain.

maybe it was just shitty dronerock/spacerock though. which, to be fair, there is a lot of. And I'm not a huge fan. But shitty three-chord punk pop songs are just as agitating.

Well not to me. I love shitty three-chord songs, especially if they're under 3 minutes. That's all I'm saying.

I definitely recognize that there is a specific way in which overly-self-serious, overlong, not very interesting droney/spacey music can bore an obnoxious hole in your forehead, especially when you're not in the mood for it. I think it's a genre where it's especially easy to fill a lot of time with very little ability, and hard to actually do something interesting.

- the way every link on these pictures of scraps of paper just opens up the pictures of the scraps of paper

so you click on e.g. what looks likethe ticket enquiry email link and it opens the picture of the ticket enquiry email link

Yes, like most music, it is hard to do something interesting. Fascinating.

Yes, please tell me more about space rock that I couldn't tell from hearing two hours of it on Saturday, and how I would like music I just said I don't like if it were better.

Take two: Like most music, it sucks.

I was responding to Hurting 2 fwiw

watch out digging that hole, I think in orbit is in the mood to hit someone with a shovel today

Space rock is awful fwiw, I agree jeez

sarcasm. searing.

No, I actually think space rock is mostly boring crap but it's no more boring that the other shit music out there. I'll fight all of you, though, grrrrrr!

Sigh. My good friend dates a guy I don't like. He's a great musician and a friendly person but also racist, sexist, and unconcerned about getting his ideas all over everyone.

She emailed a request that I "like" his performance video on youtube to move it up in rankings or something. I could ask for more detail about what it would achieve but I'd have to actually listen to the answer, so no.

I am lately extremely annoyed by her choice to date him AND now to involve others in his schtick? Blergh.

imo if you're racist and sexist and unconcerned about how others feel about your opinions, you're not actually that friendly

The nice thing about "likes" on youtube is they're anonymous so you can ignore this request and no one is the wiser :)

seeing people standing up holding laptops really bothers me for some reason. Like: http://en.clipdealer.com/preview/image/001/869/216/player/1--1869216-smiling-man-working-with-a-laptop-while-standing-up.jpg. There was this Microsoft commercial a few years ago with this guy wandering around his apartment yammering about wifi or something and I just wanted to smack the damn thing out of is hands.

dumping laptops would be much, much more expensive than dumping books

Occasionally I see a very awkward looking guy using a laptop on the subway and it brings out my latent wedgie impulse.

I sing in a ten-person spiritual ensemble; 5 men, 5 women. A round of emails just went out stating that 4 of the 5 women will not be at tonight's rehearsal due to prior commitments and illness.

We have gigs in a month.

chicks, man

that doesn't sound totally innocuous

Women be busy.

I blurred this with the prior discussion and thought for a sec that "ten-person spiritual ensemble" was a kind of drone rock band

with the 5 men and 1 woman form space rock combo

d'oh

i feel the rehearsal thing cuz I do theatre, and run into the same shit. after a while it gets exasperating. with music it's even worse.

imo you should all find them and drive around in your cars following them trying to force them to harmonize w/ you,e ven if they're out at dinner

My wife and I were at the Cleveland Art Museum on Saturday, and in one exhibit on 1930s-40s art and design, they have an Ironrite "Health Chair". It's clear from positioning and context that it's actually part of an exhibition, and yet some moron walked up and sat down on it. And not ironically or something, he appeared to genuinely think it was for weary museum patrons. I really, really wanted to punch him.

xp: well, one of them is my wife, who only yesterday started sounding more like herself rather than some weird Grover/Cookie Monster hybrid

also it's mostly innocuous because the set we're planning is 60% material we can sing in our sleep, but we need some rehearsal time on the new stuff

the influenza outbreak is hardly innocuous dan

The nice thing about "likes" on youtube is they're anonymous so you can ignore this request and no one is the wiser :)

The other nice thing is that there is also a dislike button :)

Hell, share the link cos I don't like him either by the sound of him.

my wife didn't have the flu
another woman is at an evening meeting
another woman has a cold
the final woman did have the flu, apparently

in summation, I am cold and unfeeling

you played on your sympathies, DJP.

unforgivable.

I did reply to all the emails saying that it looked like we'd be switching tonight's rep to a readthrough of Brahms' "Alto Rhapsody" but no one gave me even a solitary lol, and that made me irrationally sad

couple more people miss and it'll be a readthrough of "4'33"

"Oof, I'm telling you, it's good to sit down, rest my dogs. How 'bout you, you from out of town?"

Touché!

Goddamn non-melting styrofoam packaging peanuts should not exist. There is nothing to do but throw them away, which makes me feel horrible, because they literally serve no purpose but to take up space, which they will do practically forever now in some landfill.
