Reason 991233442238 why "Punx" are morons[views:13918][posts:112]___________________________________ [May 26,2005 6:49pm - Dissector ""] What's the guy's email adress. My punk band needs shows. |

To be honest, I'm pretty sure the Punx had a problem with toc before toc had a problem with them. you're being a real shithead, Alex. don't fucking get into shit that you have no fucking place getting into. I'm really fucking serious here. |
| _____________________________________ [May 26,2005 9:44pm - Hooker nli ""] hey, that shit happened to me from BYOFL too. Don't get too specific on the genre unless they ask. And nothing for nothing dude, but cerebral is kind of a wack ass term for some music. |

| __________________________________________________ [May 27,2005 12:32am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I never liked the Casualties. Or Anti-Flag. A lot of punk never appealed to me, and the lifestyle was never up my alley. It was always so...fashiony.... Crust punk's the shit though. Still, using the word "punx" is ridiculous, no matter who can write the best internet argument. |
| ______________________________________ [May 27,2005 12:35am - KeithMutiny ""] anti flag was always gay |
| __________________________________________________ [May 27,2005 12:37am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] the best thing in the world was when they played the 1st and 2nd church and my friend and I went cause The Trouble was playing....they were wearing the EXACT same outfits that they had on in their CD and he had the same ducttaped sleeve shit. Holy fuck that's funny. Yeah they just don't appeal to me in any way. |
| ______________________________________ [May 27,2005 12:55am - KeithMutiny ""] i was at that show, mike jumped off the balcony, and the show sold out, quix snuck me in the side door, wow, memories. |

Try www.popculturecoffeehouse.com" sounds like you got owned. But dont sweat it. I see your band's flyers quite often so it seems like you don't have trouble setting up shows. You don't need the punx kid. but you shouldn't use the word cerebral to describe your band again. Hooker is right, that reeks of wackness. |
| _________________________________ [May 27,2005 9:23am - soloman ""] KeithMutiny said:anti flag was always gay definitly. |
| _________________________________________________ [May 27,2005 9:41am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I probably should have clarified this dude is in Indiana. and it wasn't "My band is cerebral" it was "We are a band that is cerebral, diverse, and with a great deal of creativity" which is true. See, Cerebral doesn't mean posh intellectual, it means having to do with the intellect -- that version of "intellectual" like "awesome" means "producing awe" and not always "cool" -- so in this since it means constructed by and for the mind...as well as the heart. It's not meant like "Ah mewzik is smaht, d00d". That's why the whole thing is so funny. |
| _____________________________________ [May 27,2005 10:11am - anonymous ""] this thread is fucking retarded, the topic is retarded, and saying your band is "cerebral" is one of the stupidest fucking things ive ever heard. secondly, the half ass argument about what "cerebral" really meant when it was used to describe the band is even more retarded. good luck with all your shows. labels for bands are needed to book shows and market genres. cerebral isnt a genre. and confusing a promoter is one more reason why he isnt gonna want to book a band hes never heard of in the first place. ignore the shit talking in this thread and just learn from your mistake. take care. |

| _________________________________ [May 27,2005 1:45pm - soloman ""] Punx: "cool I book shows, what kinda band are you guys?" TOC: "well we are cerebral, creative, and diverse." Punx: "um... okay. what do you guys sound like?" TOC: "I just told you. And I dont mean posh cerebral, I mean like relating to the intelect." Punx: "right.... are you talking about your band? Or some other gay crap?" TOC: "My band is, therefore I am." Punx: "[sighs] I dont know what you heard but we dont book 'cerebral' bands. Try popculturecoffehouse.com" TOC: [runs over to rttp and posts about how dumb punx are.] |
| ______________________________________ [May 27,2005 1:53pm - swamplorddvm ""] "I mean like relating to the intelect." I hope that's not the difinition for "cerebral". That's just arrogant and gay, and would confirm my statement; "I've noticed many "Metalheads" are arrogant snobs." |

""] even rush is getting in on the action! id also like to point out that our friend here, used the word "ponderence" in another thread in which he was trying to you know. sound smart. i took his advice and looked it up in the dictionary. No entry found for ponderence. but im the retard. oh shit |
| ______________________________ [May 27,2005 2:22pm - cdan ""] i feel dumber after reading this thread...or non-cerebral rather |
| ____________________________________ [May 27,2005 2:29pm - anonymous ""] Dan - I could use every word wrong and you'd still be a retard. Only a retard wastes his time online mocking as much as you do. I could be total poo and you'd still be a waste. Etc - None of this changes the fact that the Cerebral isn't a compliment. Make fun all you want, but frankly cerebral and intelligent are not exact synonyms, and even if they were, it wouldn't change the fact that TTOS writes thought out music. I'm not going to call us a 'grind' band just to make other people happy, and I'm not going to sell ourselves to promoters by labelling ourselves...especially because we purposely attempt to avoid that stuff. So no, I guess unless you can tell me what blew up, I just see people using up space to make fun of me which oh big whoop that's something new. |

You started this thread as a "look how dumb this punk kid is" thread. Instead, everyone thought you were the idiot. That's what blew up. How about while you're NOT calling yourself a grind band and while you're NOT selling yourselves to promoters, you also NOT whine on this board when your lack of an accurate musical description fails to get you booked. I've never seen someone miss a point as badly as you have on this thread. |

| ___________________________________________________ [May 29,2005 11:39am - insultingwhileanonymous ""] Give me a fucking break. I side with the TTOS kid here...The people putting down the use of the term "cerebral" here are morons to say the least. I sometimes describe bands like Neurosis, Today is the Day, Isis, Tool, B'last, Oxbow, Keelhaul, Conifer, etc. as "cerebral" because it's not simplistic & hook-oriented, and it doesn't rely on brute force alone to get the point across;it's intricate and almost orchestral; you need to actually process it, hence the "cerebral" aspect & description. And please refrain from using "most gayest" and other similiar putdowns, because it makes me embarrassed for you. Lastly, someone releasing & promoting recordings by Adolf Satan & a band called "goat molestor"(!) should shut the fuck up, because they obviously wouldn't have a clue as to what cerebral means anyway, nor care. |

The word you're looking for is progressive. And I believe someone mentioned connotation earlier in this thread? The word "cerebral" when used as an adjective to describe oneself or one's band definitely carries a connotation of pompousness and superiority of the mind. Those "punx" clearly recognized this and decided they'd be better off without you TTOS. If you want to describe your band as cerebral, especially given as a first impression, which in this case it was, learn to accept the fact that people may not think too highly of you guys. |
| __________________________________________________ [May 29,2005 2:19pm - insultingwhileanonymous ""] Um, no, it's not. "Progressive" is much more pretentious than "Cerebral". What is TTOS trying to imply, that they sound like Yes or Uriah Heep??? Leave progressive to the nerdy old guys into Hawkwind. |
| ______________________________________________ [May 29,2005 2:34pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Hawkwind fucking rules. |

| __________________________________________________ [May 29,2005 2:45pm - insultingwhileanonymous ""] Oh, but Hawkwind is cerebral, so the "punx" won't dig 'em, or book 'em on some shitass V.F.W. hall show. Heartbreaking. |

| __________________________________________ [May 29,2005 3:23pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Also, where was I discussing the term "cerebral"? Not in this thread. The point remains, the word would fit fine in a review... In trying to sell your band to a promoter? Dumb idea. |
