Punk's a different thing in America, right? :eek:

Speaking of which, in the fine tradition of 14-year-old-boys since the advent of electric bass, my son is in a punk band and they just recorded a demo: http://elephantsofvietnam.bandcamp.com/releases

I'm not sure what New Zealand did to deserve their wrath.

I love that the ad prefacing that video is for irritable bowel syndrome treatment.

They know their audience.

It's a really good band name. Makes me hope they stick around for a while.

Wow, they're REALLY doing it wrong, then.  :lol:

My understanding of Youtube ads is that they're linked to the video content, and aren't generated by Google's adbots, but maybe they've changed that. Usually you can tell because the same ads follow you around to different sites, but on Youtube I see ads for products that are completely disconnected from my browsing history.

It also has occurred to me that this is the Future™. These are the concertgoers our generation has created. While my parents taught me respect and dignity at shows, I apparently am an endangered species. I'm also the tail end of a different generation.

Nobody goes to concerts for live music anymore, they go for selfies and Twitter posts and NO REGRETS and throwing up on Tremont Street. Yeah, I took pictures, but I saved posting them until AFTER the show was over sans a couple. I go to dance, to laugh, to sing and have a good time and maybe one drink with my friends and fellow fans. I don't go to get into fights or look for one night stands. I don't go to end the night crying in a corner because the guy I totally fell in love with during that ONE SONG just left with my BFF Jill. I go to concerts to be moved by the music I've bought and paid for to further support the artists so they continue to make music I will buy and pay for.

That's all bullshit now. Now I know exactly how my parents felt, and probably how their parents felt, when it comes to the daring youth of the nation destroying their sacred music. What a vicious fucking circle.

Concert venues are temples. If you're not having a religious experience in the presence of the gods on stage, you have no real reason to be there, and should just buy the album.

Oh, this. It's a Saturday Night and the standard rules apply. I can count the number of bad gigs  I've been to on one hand and each of those occasions was very much down to the audience.

KMFDM playing to about 30 people who didn't give a fuck and me stands out. Still a good performance by the band but you could tell that they were PISSED OFF.

They'll feed in vid related, how you got there-related, you-related, where you live-related and all points in between. Never had IBS ads before but now I've just typed IBS, on the internet... twice! :horrormirth:
