The banjo as an instrument is awesome but I have yet to hear some good banjo music that I really enjoy.

I like just about everything in terms of music but generally, the older the genre, the more I like it. I definitely don't like screamo, there's a lot of individual modern stuff that I love, and I can't stand popular RnB or rap but, like Sleet said, I've heard some really good rap that I wouldn't have heard if my sister didn't like the genre. On that note (heh, get it?), I love classical, my older sister likes heavy metal and my younger sister likes rap and RnB.

I am just going to put this out there:

I don't like The Beatles.

I don't hate them, their music just does not appeal to me and record snobs want me burned at the stake for not liking them. I just don't see what the big deal about them is. Yes, they inspired a lot of musicians to pick up their instruments but that is about it.

Actually, I have to agree, I haven't heard much of their stuff but of what I've heard, I don't thoroughly enjoy it. It's not bad, just not something I'd fawn over.

That's my bum, good sir! *swats gently with a newspaper*


^ This guy.


Yes! Personally, I like this better:

Wait, pop can't have great stuff?D:

Admittedly it's not "stereotypical" banjo, but the banjo would like a word with y'all haters.

Pretty bleak future indeed. My Popular Music Styles of America class did explain that record companies love making money any way possible and love screwing over artists, but that the less well known bands are typically the ones with more talent and actually care a bit. Though my teacher did seem like a hipster so maybe he helped make me more biased.

Banjos are pretty awesome but I haven't found any good banjo metal yet.

In the past POP have great stuff, right now - NO

I was waiting for someone to say that!

Y'all can have the snow. I want my spring break this year, darn it.

It was in the lower 70's last weekend. You know, just a random day in the middle of January where we're all walking around in shorts. It was so awesome!

You're lucky. It has been in the high 40's to low 50's for the past week.

too much green @_@

Crazy talk was always green. Born from the bottomless text of sewer games.

You know you've been on a computer for too long when all the colors begin to lose their contrast to one another. XP This seems like a good time to call my friend and tell him about my birthday party.

And then it's back to putting my nose to the grindstone.

y'all are lucky, it's -30'F here, take my snow.

*sniffle, Sniffle, Sniffle, Sniffle* I'm sniffling...
Beag, I bet you don't know how annoying it is to listen to all of those sniffles during an exam.

Ooh! I'll take it!

*dumps all the snows in Snowytoba on Mcfly*
you happy now? I am.

Quit calling me Beag, it's annoying. I don't like being called Caitie IRL either.

When I was trying to take a practice AP Chemistry exam, everyone was having allergy reactions from it being springtime. I was surrounded by eight people sniffling during this thing. I finally had to give my teacher "the look" as I put my iPod on to listen to the thunderstorm track I have on there.

Little Miss Valedictorian from last year's senior class, who really hated me because I would actually ask for help during class when I needed it, shouted loudly, "HEY! She's seriously got her phone out, and you're just sitting there watching her!"

My teacher looks at her pointedly and replies, "Maybe if you took your allergy medication this morning, she'd be able to focus and not have to listen to your clogged sinuses for ninety minutes."

Man, Simpson was the bomb.

I know we swapped topics, but I just wanted to say: if playing the violin a certain way transforms it into a fiddle, then I can justifiably say that there was no banjo played in that song. It was more like a... cooljo or something.

You must be seeing what we had this morning, i woke up just in time to see all that snow melt in like 30mins. Most of Texas isn't exactly "wintery" but at least this past Christmas we got snowed on!
Best *free* Christmas gift ever!!!

* Rolling over in tears laughing*
You know i've lived in Texas my entire life and never had many "problems" with snow (save the superbowl game of 2011 that was just awful, mostly ice though).
But what's truly pathetic (and hysterical) is that King of the Hill reference is almost spot on. Most of the plebians that live here are totally clueless when it comes to winter weather, save the one yankee guy whose gawking about the mass school/business closures that follow any accumulation of snow more than 3 inches. I just enjoy the crazy backwards antics of other texans trying to cope with one or two days worth of snow! *priceless*

I finished first three seasons of King of the hill in about 3 weeks in this December. I laughed my butt off for whole three weeks.
oh c'mon! we don't even get a day off from blizzard... you'll probably laugh at how we cope with hot summer day.

This isn't amazing but when it comes to banjos and metal, you don't have many options.

ANYWAY, it's been awfully cold here recently. I wish it would just snow 'cause I'm tired of my car freezing. It needs to at least be worth it!

My family has alot of blankets, but my dad still insist on using the wood furnace. Poor trees

I still listen to Michael Jackson music and some classics from time to time. And i only liked one song from the Back-street boys. =P

Also, this amused me on Twitter today. Cat beats stock market.

My hands are as cold as ice. They get like that every winter.
When somebody shakes my hand, they ask if I'm still alive.
Oh, if you have snow I'd gladly purchase some. Haven't had much this year, but got plenty of frozen days. Every other year we get tons of snow, It's always been like that.

My room's been really cold lately 'cause I have two windows and my heating vent was blocked. Guess which one I fixed!

My house is always cold during the winter months. Fortunately, my mom bought me a nice little mini-heater to stick next to my desk to keep my hands warm while I type. :3

Obviously her only solution was to break both of the windows and pour cement in his vent.

He's an arctic fox, so she must suffer the consequences of her lifestyle.

You mean he/she.
