Seriously, thanks a lot, man. I'm not that good, but it always feels nice to get praised, lol.

Yeah, I'm writing music for a new album. Hopefully, I'll have a guitar this time around, so I'll be able to do more genres.

If you're familiar with Landforge [he's also a UGer, entity0009], I'm also doing a collaboration EP thingy with him. I suggest you check out his stuff too. He writes doom metal with a post-rock influence.

Aw, thanks a lot, man.

Download the 2012 release too! You might like it.

Actually, kind of. I'm working on a longer album that I've just started recording. It's still going to be a while until it's done though, hopefully by April but definitely before summer unless shit gets broke/stolen/etc. I made a Facebook and Reverbnation page for it and I have one track posted if you'd like a link to it, I'm going to be keeping that updated more than anything else.

Unfortunately, the only people who can change usernames are admins (red usernames).

And they usually don't change usernames, unless it's an extreme circumstance. You can try asking, though.

Yeah, it's a pretty interesting album. Major departure from their first album, which had an almost punk rock kinda feel to it. Their third album, American Slang, sounded even more different from The '59 Sound.

But just like The Horrible Crowes, it all has Brian's signature touch to it. Don't know how to describe it, really.

Definitely agreed. Such a good band. This album was one of my most anticipated releases of the year because I'm such a huge fan of The Gaslight Anthem. You heard of them? THC is a TGA side project from the singer/guitarist Brian Fallon.

If you haven't heard them, I highly recommend listening to The '59 Sound. Definitely one of the best albums of the past decade.

Yes indeed, it is

Elsie is such an incredible album.

Nono, you express yourself perfectly!

I think the potential for a socialist society is more possible today than ever, what with the ability for workers to communicate over long distances instantly (as we are doing now!), but the internet cannot be a replacement for class-consciousness. I firmly believe that people are able and willing to create a better world, they simply don't have the means. And as a revolutionary socialist, I intend to help people develop the means to create a that world. My Socialism is intensely practical.

Two things - firstly, greed isn't a fundamental human trait; also, a socialist society would benefit the vast majority of people.

Greed requires the ability to limitlessly accrue wealth - a possibility only in a capitalist system where money is not inherently limited and can be accrued infinitely. And capitalism wouldn't survive without the selflessness of millions of people - teachers, nurses, mothers, charity workers, volunteer emergency service people, all of these people do tireless work altruistically. The capitalist system of profit would be utterly unworkable without the altruism of these people.

And when one considers that, for example, in America 85% of material wealth is concentrated in the hands of 20% of the people, 80% of people have a huge amount to gain from a fairer society.

I ahve two Plus Tops. The inly difference betweenthe plain top and the plus top is that the plus top is arched a bit, not flat like the plain top. You pay a little extra for it but it really adds to the look and feel of the guitar in my opinion. It does not affect the sound or playability though.

If you are looking for a versatile guitar that looks and sounds great, you are not going to go wrong with the Epi Les Paul Standard in any top or finish.

If you need anything else, just let m know.
