metalmaniac777

I used to sell CDs on eBay more frequently than I do now, but it's been months since I listed anything, since building a new house takes up all my free time. However, someday I will be living in the new house instead of building it, and at that point I will jump back into the eBay game, and ye shall know me by my name, which is...wait for it...metalmaniac777. Yep, same as here. As a sidenote, anybody thinking about building a house themselves...don't. As another sidenote, anybody who wants to come to upstate New York and help hang sheetrock, I've got beer, and I know lots of you like beer because somewhere I've seen a thread to that effect. Of course, I promise all the music blasting from the boom-box will be HH-approved. (Sorry, that means no Candlebox. )

All I'm saying is instead of the above, how about this... As posted on the Rock Report forum.... "My name is Mark Matthews, I play bass & sing in Defcon. I would just like to say that my experience with Sam & Retrospect has been awesome. Who would figure 15 years later this stuff would see the light of day again. The progressing success of Defcon (because of Retrospect) has coaxed us into a possible reunion and maybe some new material. The 2nd release will include better packaging, pics, lyrics, & some rare live material. You can get more band info at myspace/defconrocks. Hats off and much appreciation to Sam and Retrospect Records!!! " Reads a bit different, don't it? I see Chocularok's point. It's a matter of "tone." No, 80sMetalCollector (who, for the record, I have no beef with) did not exactly say anything to pick a fight, but by opening his posting with "time to add some positive and factual info about RR on this forum," he basically insinuated that all anyone does is speak negatively and tell lies about Retrospect Records. Yes, that does happen, but I've read plenty of praise for Retrospect as well, so yeah, 80sMetalCollector's initial posting does come across as a tad antagonistic. Maybe that's not what he meant to do, but as Chocularok pointed out, simply posting Mark Matthews' comments would have sufficed and not been remotely misconstrued.

They're suited for either site (and that's the way I voted), but if they can only be added to one of the sites, I think Heavy Harmonies should be their home. Yeah, they're heavy, but they're also very, very melodic. Heck, we've got Sinner on HH, and personally I think they're heavier than Lordi.

Yawning is not interesting. However, tossing dead flies into a yawning person's mouth is interesting...

"ZOMBIE HONEYMOON" Ugh. Even if you're a diehard fan of zombie movies, avoid this low-budget hunk of junk, which had a cool premise but terrible execution. Seriously, I would rather let a real zombie gnaw my nads off with its bare teeth than suffer through this tripe again. Bad, bad movie.

I watched it. Sure, it was little more than a glorified soap opera, but in a good, addictive way. Hey, it's not like I could laugh at anybody for watching it anyways...I used to watch "Dawson's Creek."

Do you think Eric Brittingham wants ALL the women naked? I mean, not for nothing, but there are some women who should do the world a favor and leave their clothes on...

After she suffered through the bloody violence of "Running Scared" the other night, my wife made me sit down and watch "What Women Want" with her last night. Yep, a chick flick. God, I feel so emasculated...

I am very interested in what interesting thing made you so uninterested. Just reading that statement confuses me. I am no longer interested in your interest in the interesting thing that made me so uninterested. With some effort, I found your confusion interesting, but I am no longer interested in putting forth the effort to be interested in your interest.

In the truck...TEER: s/t In the house...ELECTRIK: "Love Buzz Harmony"

"Never Too Much" ~ ELECTRIK Phenomenal ballad. One of my all-time faves.

Geoff, we're more than happy to let you direct, but may I suggest you use a pointer other than you're own? We want those being directed to be able to actually see the pointer...

I was trying to come up with something interesting to say, but then I got uninterested in trying to come up with anything interesting. If anyone is interested in hearing what interesting thing I was going to say, I'd be interested in hearing about your interest.

'Cause they suck, that's why. Just sayin'.

RUNNING SCARED Holy crap, what a great movie! Vicious, violent, bloody, kinetic, stylish...I loved it and plan to quickly add it to my ever-expanding (like my waist) DVD collection. Were those pedophiles creepy as hell or what? Loved it when the wife gave them their comeuppance. I nearly stood up and cheered...until I realized I was sitting alone in my apartment with a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios on my lap...

TEER: s/t Hadn't listened to this in years. Pulled it out to take to work with me today. Hasn't aged so well, I'm afraid. I remembered it being quite a bit better than it actually is.

"Vampire Lullaby" ~ TEER

Now, see, I'm almost offended by that...

Why, WHy, WHY is it that people feel the need to fuck with my Butch Walker fix? Hey, I laid off, just like I promised I would, so you can't blame me anymore! And for the record, no, I did not pay Glam Junkie to poke at your sore spot...

May I recommend putting some butter on it, then.

Dust bunnies will only eat Celery, it's a scientific fact. I heard that, but you see, my wife's cat is named Celery, and if the dust bunnies ate Celery, I'm afraid my wife would no longer be open to the alternate uses for butter I was alluding to earlier...

I found some dust bunnies under my bed. I tried feeding them carrots, but they wouldn't eat 'em. On a different note...MJ, if you need some ideas on how to put that butter to good use...uh, ask Geoff.

I bought my Dad, a huge Clint Eastwood fan, "Dirty Harry" on DVD for Father's Day and gave it to him early, so we sat down and watched it last night. It's still a classic.

DECYFER DOWN: "End of Grey"

"Rockstar" ~ THE POODLES
