So, has anyone seen these 6+6+06 things posted all around cities? I live in Chicago and there everyfreakingwhere. I saw some red spray painted spiral of six's on the way to school today. And thought, maybe some kind of weird liberal revolutions coming up, and I didn't know about it.

So I did some Googling, turns out its actually for some retarded movie coming out called Omen. Some re-make crap. I think any movie that goes to the extent of vandalizing public property, littering fliers every were and just generally playing off the Americanpanic fever, should not be seen.

Aslo, so this has something to do with music....

Does J really not like Ben Folds? I think Ben is great, personally. Just because somethings "Pop" doesn't make it bad. Ya'll should download the song Army, Kate, or Last Polka. Older stuff. Give it a seccond listen.

Admittedly, his newer stuff is more 'emo' sounding, and his Ben Folds Five stuff is a lot better.

Also, admittedly, 80 bucks for concert tickets?

Get' da' fug' out of here.

Cheers,
Tank.

When I saw the title for this thread, I thought it was going to be along the lines of this, which was posted in the "stonerrock" LiveJournal community.

"THE NATIONAL DAY OF SLAYER: 6/6/06

Official Statement on Participation

    * Listen to Slayer at full blast in your car.

    * Listen to Slayer at full blast in your home.

    * Listen to Slayer at full blast at your place of employment.

    * Listen to Slayer at full blast in any public place you prefer.

DO NOT use headphones! The objective of this day is for everyone within earshot to understand that it is the National Day of Slayer. National holidays in America aren't just about celebrating; they're about forcing it upon non-participants."

Maybe I'll make 6/6/06 the day when I decide to listen to Slayer for the first time to figure out what they're like anyway.  I'll probably just end up listening to Sabbath the whole day, though.

Melodic:
Also the day AFI releases their new album, "Decemberunderground". From the sounds of their first single, "Miss Murder", the album looks promising.

That's the way of the world. The big companies are starting to use underground and DIY techniques to market their stuff. Punk Planet has been doing extensive coverage on this kind of stuff, from Nike's usage of the Minor Threat cover to Lucas Arts setting up 'zines and such for the release of Episode III to Sony putting up seemingly homegrown grafitti in and around Los Angeles to advertise the PSP.

But that's a really tricky question to address, and I'm not even sure of my opinions on it. My opinions on Ben Folds are a lot easier to express.

Thumbs up to most of his work with the Five. Those three guys together had something really good going, and it's a shame that it had to end. At least they came out on somewhat of a high note with Reinhold Messner. They even managed to make the Godzilla soundtrack good with one of their best songs, "Air".

His first solo album, Rockin' the Suburbs has a few good tracks on it, but at least half the songs on it are throwaways. Songs for Silverman, however, is the debut of a much more mature, somber Ben Folds. I think it's a great album, and easily on par with any of his previous work. Plus, Weird Al does backing vocals!

That last part probably didn't help my point much.
