lol, congrats Umair on making it to the next round. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Karma:</div><div class="quote_post">Chutney (or anyone else from Canada/Toronto), have you watched the "Real Toronto" videos on Youtube?</div> Yea, I remember watching that a while ago when it was in the news and everything. Honestly, I thought it was friggin' retarded. I don't know if it was meant to shock naive Torontonians or something, but it didn't show me anything new and it was annoying as hell. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Voodoo Child:</div><div class="quote_post">The Beatles did a lot of LSD.</div> That has to be it. It was seriously the strangest thing I've ever listened to. "number 9.... number 9.... number 9.... number 9...."

I think that was more the heads in the studio influencing the track than the Beatles themselves. You'll find that a lot of the Beatles' later trippy stuff was moreso the work of guys like George Martin and Billy Preston in the studio than the four Beatles themselves. I'm not so sure the Beatles could have replicated that stuff live, even if they wanted to, and that's one of the main reasons they stopped touring towards the end there. At the end of the day though, I think it's just esoteric garbage. They wanted people to read into it or think, "Wow, psychedelic drugs really make you produce some strange things," but all it does for me is make me skip to the next track. It's really just something for the ears of the mainstream, non-psychedelic drug using fan. You actually think some very deep, intelligent thoughts on LSD though, probably moreso than in reality. At least, from my own experience that's true. Your mind's going a million miles an hour thinking of deep things your brain wouldn't have noticed or thought of otherwise. It's not like you go insane and start repeating random nonsense like "number nine, number nine, etc."

McCartney didn't contribute at all and apparently both him and Martin tried to keep it off the album. Not sure how true that is though, since I'm still new to the Beatles. (Link) btw, you were completely right about "Abbey Road." The last half of that album was very enjoyable. It flowed so perfectly.

McCartney and producer George Martin fought hard to keep the track off the White Album, but Lennon and Ono won out, and the track was included as the second from last song at the end of the album's fourth side.</div> That honestly shocks me. Martin was the driving force behind a lot of their nonsensical trippy stuff. I figured this was just another example of his off-the-wall tastes. I'm not saying the Wiki article isn't right, just saying it's atypical behavior for Martin. McCartney, now I can definitely see him having problems with the song. He's always had more pop sensibilities than the rest of the band. Abbey Road > every other album ever produced... ...as far as being a complete, smoothly flowing album and not just a random assortment of individual tracks.
<div class="quote_poster">M Two One Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">OMGZ!! You swore n' stuff. Man, I be all tellin' on you.</div> Yano, those guidelines on swearing or sort of outdated. Nowadays, it's really only a no-no if it's excessive or if it's in the form of a personal attack. But in describing Yoko, the word cunt is a-okay with me. BTW - Downloading a lot of Sigur Ros atm... ever heard Hoppipolla?

BTW - Downloading a lot of Sigur Ros atm... ever heard Hoppipolla?</div> I remember a fan forum I used to run with a buddy of mine for that old PC game Ultimate Ride. It was a Roller Coaster simulation made by Disney. We got sick of the kiddie crap at the official site and stole everyone away from there because we allowed every swear in the book. You'd be surprised that it rarely got out of hand. Yeah, I know Hoppipolla, I have the album it is featured on called 'Takk ...' That's an excellent album, their third major release. Their first was the best by far though IMO. You should listen to "Hjarta? hamast (bamm bamm bamm)," which is a very dark song and "S?gl?pur," which is one of the most compelling tracks ever created. The first one's video has the lyrics translated into English. I'm going to post the second in the Rec thread in a few. EDIT* BTW, have you seen the Hoppipolla video yet?
I've been working on my Scarface impression quite alot lately for some reason, not intentionally, just find myself doing it, saying things like "Ey fu*k you mayne!" and "Who put this sh*t together huh?" to my mum, hahaha.

My 3 favorite quotes from Scarface Tony Montana: I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. Tony Montana: I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card, I gonna carve him up real nice. Tony Montana: What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of f*ckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your f*cking' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy coming' through! Better get outta his way!
My favourite is the censored version of Scarface. It goes from: "This city's one big p**sy waiting to get fu**ed." To: "This city's one big chicken waiting to be plucked." That movie's great for unintentional comedy.
