Slackjaw, Bloc Party are fairly well-known over in the UK, they actually charted in the top 20 a few times I think. Either way, they've kind of gotten lost in the clamour over the Arctic Monkeys and their ilk.

Which brings me on to my next point. How over-rated are the Arctic Monkeys?! They're okay for a quick listen once in a while, but they're nothing special, and I'm certainly not considering running out and buying all their albums and stalking the band members.
 
This sounRAB dumb, but I was jamming with some people I knew last night doing Brand New acoustic covers and they were sounding pretty darn cool. Acoustic guitar with piano. We were throwing in vocal harmony on the fly. Sweet.
 
Nope, I'm still here. I'm just busy with work throughout the summer. Never underestimate the ability of sunshine to turn otherwise normal people into dribbling idiots.
 
I got payed today. SO that's good. I won't spend the money because I'm saving for my shiny, cool 80 GB ipod. I'm 270 american dollars away

:D

Yeah. The guy who was training me was fired today because he was chewing gum.
 
What are your opinions on using a Thesaurus while writing poetry?

I never had any problem with it, I don't use one every time I write...but a lot of times I figure there are better worRAB to be used (that I'm just forgetting about, or am not yet aware of). I didn't really think anyone would have a problem with it, until my friend decided to inform me that using a Thesaurus is like "cheating", because they aren't your worRAB.

I never really saw it that way. What do you guys think? I actually like reading the Thesaurus just for fun.
