monkeychoke	I’ve decided I should frequent this corner of the internet more often - you need me, heh. Post any links to songs/albums you’re listening to - shareeee. I’ll get us started, I’m kicking off the day with a delicious coffee and a healthy few hits off the vaporiser. NB: Please take note of the format…for ease of use quote

monkeychoke	EDIT: I tried linking to a youtube video of Ben Harper - but apparently it 'didn’t pass spam checks’. Sorry guise, I guess the music thread won’t work if we can’t post youtube videos…maybe a mod can look into it. quote

deviant.inc	Would be good to get more people frequenting the forum more regularly. Personally, I've been getting really into NOFX's 2009 album ‘Coaster’. This is my favourite right now, very Taoist, ‘The Agony of Victory’ http://youtu.be/N3DUoul1y5k The lyrics are awesome: Come on underachievers Come on all you underpass believers We’ll give you the skill for street livin’ It feels pretty great to just give in, so just give in Dropouts, repeat offenders We’ll take the weary, weak, the street bartenders Show ‘em the best times are on the street Satisfaction through the thrill of defeat, ain’t it sweet Once you stop yourself from caring About owning stuff, that’s when you wanna start sharing Cuz all the things we want are cheap or free I define success as not working and I live like a king We’ve got no competition We’ve got no accomplished mission We just wanna live and let others live Of course we’ll take anything you wanna give, so fucking give Come on, dance like a retard Life’s an endless party not a punch card I don’t understand some people’s drive Let’s just fuck and drink and be alive, not just survive. It kinda reminds me of the third passage in the Tao Te Ching: Do not glorify the achievers So the people will not squabble Do not treasure goods that are hard to obtain So the people will not become thieves Do not show the desired things So their hearts will not be confused Thus the governance of the sage: Empties their hearts Fills their bellies Weakens their ambitions Strengthens their bones Let the people have no cunning and no greed So those who scheme will not dare to meddle Act without contrivance And nothing will be beyond control ———————————————– –“One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die…. ” quote

The lyrics are awesome:

Come on underachievers
Come on all you underpass believers
We’ll give you the skill for street livin’
It feels pretty great to just give in, so just give in
Dropouts, repeat offenders
We’ll take the weary, weak, the street bartenders
Show ‘em the best times are on the street
Satisfaction through the thrill of defeat, ain’t it sweet
Once you stop yourself from caring
About owning stuff, that’s when you wanna start sharing
Cuz all the things we want are cheap or free
I define success as not working and I live like a king
We’ve got no competition
We’ve got no accomplished mission
We just wanna live and let others live
Of course we’ll take anything you wanna give, so fucking give
Come on, dance like a retard
Life’s an endless party not a punch card
I don’t understand some people’s drive
Let’s just fuck and drink and be alive, not just survive.

It kinda reminds me of the third passage in the Tao Te Ching:

Do not glorify the achievers
So the people will not squabble
Do not treasure goods that are hard to obtain
So the people will not become thieves
Do not show the desired things
So their hearts will not be confused

Thus the governance of the sage:
Empties their hearts
Fills their bellies
Weakens their ambitions
Strengthens their bones

Let the people have no cunning and no greed
So those who scheme will not dare to meddle

Act without contrivance
And nothing will be beyond control

BennyB	monkeychoke Wu-Tang vs The Beatles: Enter The Magical Mystery Chamber Just amazing, I’ve been listening to it way too much since discovering it. I just checked out a few tracks on YouTube. I love the idea, the implementation didn't really grab me though TBH…maybe it's a grower? quote
