[08:59] Lenny: I'll repeat it - if you give me an hour or so, I'll throw together a thread of the best British Indie bands, with a few links to tracks and videos.

[08:59] sheerx: that would be great

[08:59] sheerx: thanks len

[09:00] Lenny: It might take longer, but either way it'll definitely be up by tomorrow.

[09:01] sheerx: awesome

[09:01] sheerx: how are album sales in the uk?

[09:01] sheerx: i assume they've declined since the 90's

[09:03] Lenny: That they did, but with the explosion of Indie a few years ago everything's nice and healthy.

[09:03] Lenny: Oh yeah, there's another one to check out - Franz Ferdinand. The revival of the Indie scene in Britain is widely attributed to them, amongst others. The Libertines for example.

[09:04] sheerx: oh yeah i've heard of em

[09:04] Lenny: For Franz Ferdinand, listen to "Take Me Out", "The Fire" and "Michael", if not others too.

[09:05] sheerx: will do man

[09:07] Lenny: There's another good American Indie band - The Rapture.

[09:08] Chruser: Bah, FAX +49-69/450464 for audible victory.

[09:09] Lenny: Why, don't you like the label?

[09:10] System: HandOfHeaven has left the chat

[09:12] Chruser: What label? Unless you're referring to FAX, in which case I just stated my approval of it.

[09:12] System: sheerx has left the chat

[09:12] Lenny: I googled "FAX +49-69/450464", and it came up with an label for ambient music. =P

[09:12] System: D3V has joined the chat

[09:12] D3V: Yo, I used to love Franz Ferdinand

[09:13] Lenny: I thought with "Bah" you were showing your disapproval of it.

[09:13] Lenny: Yay! Good D3V. =)

[09:13] Lenny: Have you heard both albums?

[09:14] D3V: No, actually. Only the first.

[09:14] D3V: Very cool music, it was something new. I remember seeing the video right after a Modest mouse song, they sounded somewhat similar. I really liked the music video which drew me in to listen to more of their music, and I got hitched.

[09:14] Chruser: FAX +49-69/450464 is one of the best ambient labels in existence, based on its level of creativity and innovation, sound diversity and imaginary landscape painting.

[09:15] Chruser: For some reason, I haven't found any FAX listeners until date who aren't composers or visual artists themselves.

[09:18] D3V: You know one of the hardest things to do?..

[09:19] D3V: Trying to act interested when somebody is going on and on and on and on and on and on about their brilliant/wonderful/exuberant/perfect/loving/adorable/giving/intelligent/masterful/amazing kid.

[09:21] Chruser: I don't see the point in arguing for the positive abilities of your child, at least not from a subjective point of view. If the child is great, modern meritocracy should reward the child per se.

[09:21] System: HandOfHeaven has joined the chat

[09:21] HandOfHeaven: Rofl

[09:21] Chruser: But then again, forcing your children to partake in particular endeavours has been "successful" in the past.

[09:22] D3V: You would think so, but most people still feel the need to spread the joy of their offspring in such a way that makes any of their possible accomplishments seem nullified.

[09:22] Chruser: http://www.artakiane.com

[09:22] HandOfHeaven: Maybe it is because they failed at life and are trying to make up for it?

[09:23] Chruser: Sure, who would want a child that's insufficient when compared to your own potential and abilities? It would go against evolution.

[09:23] HandOfHeaven: True, but kid stars have it the toughest

[09:24] HandOfHeaven: Look at how fucked up Macauly Culkin turned out

[09:24] Chruser: It's the same reason why we get old. We're genetically programmed to become less sexually attractive than our children, to prevent ourselves from competing with them.

[09:24] HandOfHeaven: I see

[09:24] D3V: You'd be suprised at some of the "soccer" moms around the states. They are absolutely still trying to compete with their kids.

[09:26] Lenny: Damn, she's a good painter.

[09:28] HandOfHeaven: I should start drawing again

[09:28] HandOfHeaven: Though I'm not anything special at it, it's relaxing

[09:30] Chruser: Speaking of which, I have an evening drawing class in 30 minutes. See you around guys.

[09:30] Lenny: Toodles.

[09:30] Lenny: Have fun!

[09:30] System: Thanatos has joined the chat

[09:30] Chruser: (Implying we get to draw things in the evening, rather than drawing evenings.)

[09:30] HandOfHeaven: Lol

[09:31] Thanatos: We understand, croozar

[09:31] HandOfHeaven: Chruser the jokestar

[09:31] HandOfHeaven: not jokester, jokestar

[09:32] HandOfHeaven: Yo Thanatos. I am already off of the schedule at my workplace, and I just gave him my two weeks notice. Can he legally schedule me without contacting me?

[09:32] System: Chruser has left the chat

[09:33] System: D3V has left the chat

[09:34] Thanatos: What do you mean 'off the schedule' ? Like you don't have any assigned work days anymore?

[09:34] HandOfHeaven: No. I'm not able to work because I'm still feeling after effects of the flu

[09:34] HandOfHeaven: And he even told me he took me off the schedule

[09:34] Thanatos: well then I doubt he'd schedule you then

[09:35] System: D3V has joined the chat

[09:35] D3V: Not if you don't answer the phone.

[09:35] HandOfHeaven: Alright, because I could see this guy trying to pull some stupid shit

[09:35] HandOfHeaven: I can get a docs note just like that

[09:35] Thanatos: Even if he does, just go in.. you only have 2 weeks left, might as well look like a hard worker and get a good reference in the process

[09:36] HandOfHeaven: Well, whenever I do any physical work I instantly get exhausted and dizzy. Haven't smoked or drank in over a month, and I'm just starting to get healthy

[09:36] HandOfHeaven: Doc even told me to lay off work for awhile, even though the shit is out of me

[09:36] Thanatos: Then you have a doctor's notice?

[09:37] HandOfHeaven: Yup, ready to shove into his face

[09:38] HandOfHeaven: 'Reserves'

[09:38] Thanatos: there ya go

[09:38] HandOfHeaven: He sounded uber pissed, but that's life

[09:38] HandOfHeaven: I can't help that I didn't find a place to stay here for the summer

[09:38] HandOfHeaven: Factory jobs pay more anyways

[09:39] HandOfHeaven: Anyways, off to my conference. Peace

[09:40] D3V: hah, peace.

[09:40] System: HandOfHeaven has left the chat

[09:42] Thanatos: jesus christ im going to kill my roommate

[09:43] D3V: why so

[09:45] Thanatos: he keeps playing ranked matches on my halo account. he fucking blows and is bringing down my rank

[09:45] Thanatos: he promised he wouldnt last night

[09:46] Thanatos: but alas.. he's a fucking lying mexican

[09:46] D3V: Lol!

[09:46] D3V: tell him to go get his own ID name, or just don't play ranked matches.

[09:46] Thanatos: i've told him that many times

[09:47] Thanatos: think I'm going to beat him when I get home

[09:47] D3V: lol.

[09:47] D3V: man what an ass, that rank is a very precious thing, I know my friend is so anal when I play he makes sure i'm not playing a ranked match.

[09:52] Thanatos: lol

[09:52] Thanatos: damn right it is

[09:52] Thanatos: cuz if you lose one game, you go down a rank

[09:52] Thanatos: and I'm WAY better than he is

[09:52] Thanatos: he lost 3 in a row after I went to bed

[09:52] Thanatos: .... fucking ass

[09:52] D3V: just threaten to change your login password or something.

[09:52] D3V: and have him play offline if he doesn't stop

[09:53] Thanatos: I think I can set it to where you have to enter the password everytime you login

[09:53] Thanatos: gonna do that later, thx
