Quote from Forbin :

First I heard of them was when the MotoGP documentary, "Faster", used "Whatever Happened to My Rock 'n' Roll" in the film's intro. It's such an awesome video sequence and the song fits it so well. I don't remember much of their other stuff, though. I'll have to look them up again.

Saw 'em live a couple of months ago, and it was definitely worth it. They sounded just as great live as they did on their albums, and they have great stage presence & energy.

And of course, can't forget good old Reznor.

His latest offering which can be downloaded legally for free:

Incubus - Love hurts

Great song, makes me sad everytime I hear it.

Ugliest Facebook user. Ever.



Look at them!

Too bad it doesn't work if you're not logged into facebook, eh?

I see we have a 'recommend a movie' thread, why not music? Music plays a bigger part in most of our lives than movies I'd imagine. So, recommend a band you've discovered or seen lately. Anything (any genre) goes.

I'll start us off:

Elliott Smith


Black Rebel Motorcycle Club


Hard-Fi

jamesrowe: nicely done civic. very very clean.

Sorry to hear, my condolences to you and your family.

Any of you camera/artisty people on deviantart?

Got it at $5 yesterday, haven't had a chance to play it yet though. Hopefully soon I'll have a chance. Great price though.

LOL, I like the streaming-ness of it, but to be honest the actual stream isn't too exciting!

Thank you.

Sounds amazing, can't wait to actually see it without the ugly covering.

Saw this earlier on today. What a story Worth the read.

The Raconteurs - Together

jibber: really liking 38 (the bird), awesome depth of field.

Moby - The Sky is Broken

I haven't played LFS since last summer, and it doesn't look like I'll get around to playing it anytime soon either.

Fujimi Kaido needs to come back!

gizmo: not bad, not bad at all. just one question though, is it just me or does the front seem a little higher than the back? is that intentional? but anyway, i used to own one of those little buggers, hella fun.

Placebo - Meds

Black looks the best no doubt.

eh. I drive a camaro that gets at best 15 mpg, so I know how it is. If he has expendable income it doesn't hurt too bad.

Each to his own, I prefer something at least a little more efficient. I think most people enjoy buying other things as WELL as petrol, right?

Quote from flymike91 :

I would get the mustang. Even special edition V8s are very often available for 9K or less. Don't listen to those british guys, their government and insurance agencies have brainwashed them. They would probably pay 2-3 times more than you for insurance so for them power=bad. just keep it on the road like 95% of all other mustang drivers.

Have fun with horrible V8 gas mileage though.

Quote from f4sttr@ck :

I'll go with a 4 if i have to but always seemed a bit slow to me. I drive a 24 valve V6 ford daily and it seem a bit on the low power side. Maybe I'm just a bit eager on power but I love cars and I love speed. Its an addiction, cant help it.

Trust me, a 4 cylinder engine in a light car (like a civic or golf or something) can be way more fun than you think. Nothing like throwing around a light car with responsive engine.

Not to poke fun at american V6's (or most of them anyway), but I can't resist: the Japanese and European manufactured engines are much more efficient than the American ones. The power-to-displacement is amazing on most Japanese engines, as you might already know. All I am saying is that a 4-cyl can be plenty fun, especially for a first car.

Töki: you do know that VTEC is an useful technology, especially for a street car, right?

I'd suggest you stick with a 4-cylinder for a first car, good gas mileage and plenty of power for a first car. Just IMO.

Out of the ones you listed, I'd recommend you stick with Honda's and Mitsu's. Honda has bulletproof reliability, I can say from experience. Good luck and have fun buying your first car.
