      Why yes, we now boast the most lavish memes and hold the standard for finest shitposting in the land. :cheers:

      Really though? I must say I started watching Rupaul's drag race,  for the past two weeks I've seen all sorts of things, both lavish and shitpost-y  :D

      you missed the best member at mh - blackdoll. also trombe is retired (kinda, he still bothers users behind secret usernames such as the ever so brilliant Ebmort).

    Violence. (I am excluding sports because it's not supposed to be form of aggression.) Insulting others and any form of intentional verbal aggression as well.
  4. Lonely China day are worth the listen I think. Glorious pharmacy 美好药店 are awesome as well, completely different style and vibe, kind of folk-ish. As to pop music...Eason Chan, YiDa Huang, a teeeny bit of Aaron Yan and 东城卫, maybe 苏打绿 as well as my personal favourite Leslie (张国荣).
  5. I don't feel the Christmas spirit this year :(

      I think it's some cruel way to know I grew up :D Then again, could be the lack of Christmas atmosphere, no snow, everything is foggy and gray.

  7. When you just want to get fit, but people tell you "you shouldn't lose weight." I'm around 100 pounds, do you think I'm planning to lose some? Since when by "fit" people understand ''diet'' ? I'm just a lazy ass that decided to try not being as lazy of an ass :D

    Man, is this for real? Because I am a fan when it comes to that era they did stuff (which coincidentally finished before I was born...I think). However, these last few years it's been mostly smokescreen stunts and promises. And quite possibly, money made from exploiting / catering to nostalgic fans. Hopefully they will prove my scepticism wrong and everyone will get an awesome release. (Preferably something new) ^^

    The last last thing I bought was 陳奕迅 - three vinyl ''best of"s. The sound really is nice, I wish newer things were also available in this format.

    Can't even log in, all I'm left with is staring at my profile trying to figure what went wrong and how do I try to save this train wreck of a page I have now. But I can't log in!

    I'm sorry , this sounds terrible! I am not exactly the epitome of a functioning adult, but I can try to give you some advice. There should be laws protecting tenants, here it can be a bit tricky since a lot of people do it over the counter and rarely sign a lease. If your documentation's alright you should be able to stay in your place even with a little delay in payment\9 by no means exceeding 3 months). Getting a good flatmate is really hard, the only roommate I had was when I lived abroad, but - it's different in school (mine wasn't too nice). Don't trust random people, especially when it can lead you to a not so pleasant financial state. When it comes to payment I tend to give myself a ''safety belt'' - the best thing is to have both tenants legally responsible, but in case you really can't do that, ask for the rent at least two weeks before it's due. This way you can avoid being put in a bad spot. Food...I kind of disagree with surviving on the cheapest possible, because it can sometimes cause you health problems. However...in case you have a really tight budget, you can go by it for a limited time. Don't waste water and electricity/power. If you really need money asap and you don't want to bother your parents, you can put some items on ebay for example. It's hard to part with a favourite CD, but food is kind of important as well. I hope you resolve your issue, at the moment I can't imagine not spending my parents' money...and that is terrifying. O.O

    "You're viewing the beta" Can I please not view the beta version? Is there a way back, guys? It is dreadful and distracting.

    Believe it or not, like the British flag. (same pattern at least)

    I want to share a lot on this topic, but I'll avoid saying something everyone here already knows ( Tchaikovsky is amazing, Bach's raw power, my sentimental attachment to Schumann and Chopin). Barenboim in my opinion does really good job playing Beethoven, as to Chopin my favourite is probably Martha Argerich.
  17. Dear people I haven't met even once, could you be kind enough to recommend me something good to read. Sadly, the last book I enjoyed (or didn't , depending on how you look at it) was Kafka on the shore.

      @jig: OMG i literally just read Steppenwolf last week.

      Some recommendations from me:

      J. G. Ballard - Vermilion Sands

      Sylvia Plath - The Bell Jar

      Julian Barnes - The Sense of an Ending

      E. M. Forster - A Room with a View

      Thank you for the detailed lists, some (albeit, few) of the titles I am familiar with. For the moment I settled with Mishima Yukio, since I have been postponing it for the right time.

      "Kokoro" is second on my list, due to the fact it was offered to me total of 4 times, including @plastic_rainbow's suggestion.

      Finishing "Candide" should come first, but I am reluctant to do so. I will keep what you guys wrote for future reference ^__^

      In all honesty, I've been avoiding The Bell Jar in fear it might click too well with me :/

    Nooo way. I am very picky about food, it was really bad years ago. Now I am trying really hard and it's gotten better . I mean, woohoo, I eat peppers now (sometimes). Is it weird to organize things by colour? Crayons, clothes, books...
  19. Fin Paulux

    In all honesty, most bands don't even need parody names The original names are as funny as that. (I mean - Cocklobin? D? Sex virgin killer??? ) Kamijo - Mojojo Mucc- F**k Mana (Mana, Gackt) Llama llama duck Vamps - Tramps Ah,, also : DOGin the poo (I kind of read it like this the first time I saw the band name and unfortunately it stayed that way)
  20. Fin Paulux

    Nope, but it seems a bit of a waste. You'll probably read them someday. Let's see, I usually act pretty calm, but I tend to stress over unimportant things.
  21. I hope that Asagi will get better soon, new release aside, if he's in pain all the time that's really really serious. I hope even hardcore fans would show understanding.

    I can't say that agree with your opinion, but I can't deny that I don't even try to keep up with Jupiter's activities. To me, Versailles kind of lost it's magic even before the split, there was something missing. I do agree that Jupiter is still counting on Versailles' influence and name in many ways. Yet they are not Versailles. Kamijo's solo on the other hand - I wouldn't use the word "boring", but it really doesn't leave me with a lasting impression. ( And I've been "on board" since Lareine, New Sodmy, the less Fancy Lareine... ) What I liked about Versailles was their unique way of finding the perfect balance in their sound. The band had the skills, the technique, and Kamijo was the motor power, the spark. Versailles is not either Jupiter, nor Kamijo. I guess what both parties need to do is to find their own sound and (unfortunately) to drift further away from the past. Which doesn't mean I won't love to see them together on stage again. And Zin really isn't a bad singer, he just can't fill in for Kamijo. And he really shouldn't.

    One or two things: it must be me, since the songs most of you pointed out as good (hence, I had certain expectations) just don't do the trick. I'm listening at the moment, so I will be brief. In random order: Hallelujah: on first listen it doesn't lack anything - strong vibe,nice vocal parts for Tatsurou, screaming for whoever's into it, catchy chorus, guitars...However it's not something that I'd remember 5 minutes after listening. Good for BGM. Halo - started off somewhat messy, but it got better. Overall, good track. Japanese: I really liked that one, but I think I've heard only a live version, so the emotional performance might have balanced out other small weaknesses. 死んでほしい人 - This one I need to listen few times more, I'm undecided whether I like it, or it scores ''average''. The end of the world - pleasant surprise, the rhythm reminds me of something else, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe a tad cheesy, but I'm perfectly fine with it. I think I need more time with the rest of the album. So far I'm not impressed, since MUCC definitely have had better releases in the past. On the other hand, the past is in the past, I can't expect them not to change over time. Nostalgia aside, "The end of the world" is not a bad album - it's not mind blowing, shiver- inducing either, so maybe a solid 7/10 for me.

    Do you know who are the musicians he worked with on this release?
