What, like some Charlie Sheen shit? I could do a tour or something...

The Cellar is a revolving door...people go away on vacation or whatever and come back. I don't know why I've been gone for so long...not that I don't love the place, of course. Life's been busy...anyway...hey peeps!

*waiting for you fuckers to scream my name a la Norm from Cheers*

You jump right back in the pool and before you know it, the water's fine.

Damn. Jim got it immediately.
Am I really so transparent?
Was it the spelling mistake Monster? :)

SYCAMORE!
Welcome back.

I realized after I posted my guess that you, Jim, and I were the only registered users online so that was probably a pretty big give away.

Thank you dear. :)

so... uh...now it's my turn to post as anon and people should guess who i am?


right... now, sir lancelot, galahad and I jump OUT of the Trojan Rabbit, catching them unawares.....


I suppose someone else ought to go, So since I won, I get to pick who....

I'll send that person a PM and they will post as anon. Or I'll kick they ass.

this is how it can work. when someone guesses right, anon comes clean and the winner secretly nominates the next player. naturally, the former winner is excluded from the subsequent round.

sounds good.

All the world's a stage and Sycamore is one of the Cellar's best players. :thumb:

Should I have to pay my spouse for a lap dance, or is that part of a standard marriage contract?

*bows*

Zip?

Today, I have been obsessing over Chad VanGaalen. There is a story that precludes this little obsession and this is how it goes. On April 1st, one of my friends sent me a text. He said, ”psst, I just saw VanGaalen live in a church.”
I was wondering if it was a joke but he mentioned Willow Tree. This friend usually has good musical suggestions, so I went to YouTube to give Gaalen a listen. I listened to, “Willow Tree” and “Molten Light” but I cannot stand the songs with their bizarre death fantasies wrapped in sickly sweet melodies.


This negative reaction confuses me. I don’t know why the songs leave me feeling like I’ve been punched in the stomach. I reassure myself by remembering all of the darker lyrical bands I do like, such as, A.P.C, A.I.C. Opeth. The difference is that their darkest lyrics contain something I find relatable and touchable. I cannot relate to VanGaleen. To me, VanGaalen’s haunting lyrics, his strange semi-Neil sounding voice leave me feeling just like the corpses and dead people of Gaalen’s lyrics.


Today, I go searching the net. I am slightly bent and I am looking for dirt. I admit. I have no shame. I find no dirt, excluding his ability to be a hermit and the obvious fruit of his labor. Instead of dirt I read how everyone thinks VanGaalen sounds like Neil Young, or how he’s so new indie pop, old sub-pop or old lofi. People can’t make up their mind what he is but the people say he is wonderful! I am wondering if I am the only one on the planet that does not appreciate what assails my ears? The melodies make it palatable, and people eat it up. I throw up.


This is the funny part. This is how our texting conversation ended. Remember it was April 1st when I received the text? After listing to the songs on YouTube, I am thinking that this might have been an April fool’s joke. I don’t know if it ‘s worse not to get a joke or insult someone’s taste in music.I scroll to the beginning of our conversation and read the first text to me. Again I read, “Psst, I just saw Chad VanGaalen live in church”


Oh, April 1st eh? I’m thinking, This has to be an April fool’s joke! Did I not just listen to a plethora of songs about death and dead people? Yeah, so I text this,” If, I just saw Chad VanGaalen live in church isn’t the best April Fool’s joke ever, I’m sorry” badaboom
It wasn’t a joke. The church is a building for events. I guess when churches go vacant in Canada the canuckle- heads acquisition them. He did really go see him. How was I to know that? The friend laughed at the joke and went on his merry way.


I was not merry. I was left with a very bad taste in my mouth. Listening to VanGaalen is like sucking on something sour.
Some of you may take issue with this opinion too. It is only an opinion. It is mine and you can have yours. If you like VanGaalen’s music, that is just fine but you must concede this one little point, and that is Chad VanGaalen is one strange dude.


I am glad I had anonymous to play with but it isn’t going to happen again.


Who am I?

Sycamore or Flint... I say Sycamore.

No, I am neither.

I don't know Sycamore's writing style yet but I am sure Flint can write circles around me.

In fact, I am sure Flint will think you have insulted him but I think it's a hoot!

Sorry...not me.

Fair enough. Good to see you around these parts anyway Syc
