It feels like it's been a while since we had one of these. As of half an hour ago, this has been killing me: 
The lyrics are a bizarre mix of christianity and ruthless murder in the wild west. PEACEFUL LIFE[/b]the peaceful life on the homesteadit makes me want to get up and move, my thinking's all donecity folks with all of their gold, their fine houses, their fancy clothesi gotta get me somei mean to say that everyonethis is not my kind of lifestealing, killing, i know it ain't rightbuti got to start a new lifea they say it's only hard to killthe very first time you dobut after that it don't take much nerveto do what you got to doyou know i've always obeyed the lordbut i ain't gonna watch the world go bywithout getting knownwhen all the money's in the hands of the fewthat only means there's some shootin' to doand i ain't gonna runi mean to say that everyonethis is not my kind of lifestealing, killing, i know it ain't rightbut i got to start a new lifea they say it's only hard to killthe very first time you dobut after that it don't take much nerveto do what you got to doI HAD THE RIGHT[/b]i've always been a peaceful mani've always shunned a fighti've always lived within myselfand walked in the lord's own lightbut it happened that i killed a man last nightyou know it seemed to me i had the righti did not even know the man his name i never learnedi followed close behind himand shot him as he turnedit wasn't done from anger or from spiteit just seemed to me i had the rightwell his body reeled and spun aroundand then collapsed in placei wonder if he heard the shotor if he'd seen my facehe lay there dead, it was a bloody sightstill it seemed to me i had the righta-last night i dreamed that christ appearedhis body torn and bruisedwell and he said that "i never saw your faceso you don't stand accused"then he turned and said, "good luck in your next fight...reload your gun, you know you have the right"when all the money's in the hands of the fewthat only means there's some shootin' to doand i ain't gonna run[/b]--------------------

What is it? What's it sound like?
Here's another Wilderness Road track I just listened to:
Bounty Man[/b]
livin every day by the sweat of my hands
bounty man, bounty man
living off the lean and the fat of the land
oh, the bounty man
a man can be driven just to keep on tryin
even maybe get into a little bit of lyin
when you make your livin off another man's dyin
bounty man, bounty man
don't turn your back on the bounty man
he'll shoot you in your tracks any time that he can
don't turn away from a bounty hungry kid
or you'll never be able to say that you did
some folks like to work their lives all away
bounty man, bounty man
makin just enough to eat a little every day
oh, the bounty man
me, i like to lounge in the lou'siana sun
handin out silver dollars tips to everyone
makin sure the undertaker's havin his fun
bounty man, bounty man
don't turn your back on the bounty man
he'll shoot you in your tracks any time that he can
don't turn away from a bounty hungry kid
or you'll never be able to say that you did
i make my livin my livin by another man's dyin
i'm a bounty man
i may be forgivin for a little bit of lyin
i'm a bounty man
Seriously, the music's a perfect mix of hard rock and country. (Oops, am I revealing too much about twoply?)
Hawaiian Folk/Psych. A beautiful and somewhat haunting album.
I was actualy just about to send this to the DCast myself. Check thine PMs shortly, twoply.
One of the best blues albums by old white men I've ever heard.
Temple's Cure[/b], from the 45 EP that came with the vinyl version of "Picture has Faded."
A. Only Artifactor has touched on what's killing him, all others are stuck on some
and...
B. In belongs over there.
I am just saying.

I don't mind riding my bike to the movies or shopping for records - but try carrying a full hockey equipment bag and two sticks on a 22-mile ride, see, it just ain't gonna happen. My ride is fucking killing[/b] me. And if I keep driving it, it probably really will kill me.
A. I disagree. Wilderness Road is not about face melting. It's about taking me back. Way back. (And then moving me forward.)
B. Maybe I'm dense, but I have no idea what that means.
(no disrespect taken)
[color:white]The OG "WKY?" thread was in the Announcements thread. [/color]
Right. I'm breaking with tradition then.
[color:white] At first I thought you meant Ian (my name) belongs over there. As in, I should be chillin' at Pete's right now. [/color]
[color:white]Oops, I meant 'IT belongs..."
[zg]Pete's is working for me right now. I'll try again later.[/zg]

Oh, okay.
So many people have told me to say hi to you that I couldn't possibly list them all.
Dan (the one that lives in your old building) wanted me to remind you he still has all that stuff you guys left in the closet.
Let me further explain. From the standpoint of tradition, you're exactly right. This isn't the way "it" is done. But if "it" becomes more important than it, you may be missing the point. I don't think E*ic had any intention of introducing a strict paradigm for everyone to follow. My interpretation of the original question was along the lines of, "What is affecting you so much right now that you need to relieve the pressure by letting a bit of it loose?"
diagnosed manic depression and no medical insurance to pick up medication
My brakes gave out today leaving me with a possible $700 bill
My job ends next week leaving me with no viable paycheck while I finish out the semester
My 60 year old handicapped mother just got laid off leaving me to be the financial support for 3 people
the girl I love is in a relationship with some biker dude
and my back hurts
In that case...
Guess.

Sorry.
Do we need to have a Guzzo Heatrock?
musicwise:
Visual commentary.

Grafwritah your ugly asthetic is tired. But I'm less disgusted by your blowjob avatars than by the pictures of bloody bodies you put up the other day.
