You know you're a post-rock nut when...
Something i found found so true and i can relate to and really funny when you think about it.
You know you're a post-rock nut when...
- Your mix CDs only consist of less than six songs.
- When you sing a tune, it usually comes out in gibberish.
- No delay effects pedal = No fun
- You're probably the only person around who can tolerate 5 minutes of static
- Your mates demand that you change to radio after realizing that you're CDs are all instrumentals that go nowhere.
- Any attempt to drag your friends to gigs will have them waiting for an hour for the singing to start
- Your harddrive is full of small unsigned or independant bands from strange countries
- You're in a band that pays homage to either Godspeed or EitS
- Nobody bothers asking you what music you're into anymore
- You feel an overwhelming sense of disappointment when vocals first appear in a track
- Your 30 gig ipod is full at 4000 songs
-Generally, when someone asks you what kind of music you like you say something like "post-rock-post-hardcore-avant-guarde-ambient-fuzz-melancholy-abstract-shit"
-you constantly search for bands off of constellation records
-You say, "Sideshow Bob looks like Efrim Menuck," rather than the traditional other way around.
-You plan on naming your daughter Moya because you can't think of a word that connotes something more beautiful.
-When someone asks you what your favorite part about christmas is, and you reply, "steps." Bonus points if someone responds, "hell yes!"
-You bought your first electric guitar and violin bow on the same day.
-You speak Hopelandic. Fluently.
- The words "f***ed on hairy amp drooling" mean something to you.
- You're always late because you insist on hearing the song to the very end before leaving
....or the entire album to the very end.
- you cry when you listen to beautiful instruments
- people stare at you when they ask you what you're listening to i.e weird band names and different music
- When one of your tutor group (yes I am a teacher) asks you for a name for their band and you come up with something like, "The Light dies when the sunsets and lives when the moon shines green"
-You truly believe that vocals only taint an otherwise stellar piece of music. (Unless it's astronauts talking or a homeless guy rambling on about politics & shit)
- You prefer the "correct" spelling of Sparowes.
-You can't find any modern music similar to yours, so you've begun listening to classical.
-The shortest song you've listened to recently is about 5-6 minutes, and it was probably a continuation of another song anyway.
-You know why F#A#∞ has the ∞ symbol on the end.
gathered from afterthepostrock.com and the ATPR facebook group page...
and my 80gig ipod has been constantly full with around 7000+ songs.
