Christina stumbled upon some serious information here, and I need to make sure we are all aware of the potential dangers involved. It would break my heart if anyone was hurt, and worse yet, hurt because I didn't take the time to inform you all of a serious issue. I'm doing this to raise awareness and hope to combat this growing problem, which is claiming more and more victims each year. “To minimize the risk of head and neck injury, head bangers should decrease their range of head and neck motion, head bang to slower tempo songs by replacing heavy metal with adult oriented rock, only head bang to every second beat, or use personal protective equipment.” blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2009/01/06/health-hazard-alert-head-banging-may-hurt-your-brain/Ellis, I'm a little worried about you. Do you head bang? If so, I suggest listening to some more--how do I put it--adult oriented rock? You could also consider wearing a neck brace or helmet. This is for your own safety. We are all worried sick!

P.S. my favorite lame Dream Theater lyric is: "I've been trying to justify you but in the end I'll just defy you."... I listen them for the music :"( Lame? Maybe it's time you fixed your lame-o-meter. That is, in fact, the direct opposite of lame. Let me describe how awesome this is in a more scientific fashion. Those song lyrics begin in the "Totally Lame" section, but they are so unbelievably lame that they actually exceed the value limit of the totally lame section. So then they have to move to the next section of the chart, which happens to be "Freaking Awesome." It's like how if you have a value greater than 2pi it wraps back around the circle. Those song lyrics are in fact, so unbelievably lame, that they actually become ridiculously sweet. Like, I have to give them insane credit for even being able to compose something so lame, and it's my insane respect for that venture that causes the crossover effect into the Freaking Sweet section. And I just drew a picture in paint, and wrote like 3 paragraphs about a single line of lyrics, but you know what, it's worth it. I feel like I need to go out and listen to Dream Theater now, because if they can produce such intense lyrics then I can only hope the rest of their music can be that level of quality. P.S. I need a hobbySadly I cannot argue with anything in this post :"(

That is because he mentions math and you are an English major, and everyone knows that humanities people can't even add, let alone read a chart.
I do disagree with the last part - I don't think Brian needs a hobby, nor does anyone else on the board, because if people started finding real life things to be interested in, who would play Spies and entertain me as a viewer? Pshaw.

It's true, we just look at the chart and try to find the metaphors and deeper meanings. Speaking of which, I'm teaching American Lit this semester and American lit sucks British Literature is so much cooler. And DC, you better not be entertained as a view again... You best get back to playing, missy!

Having said that Ellis, idk whether you'd want music advice from an Australian!

Even knowing that Krystin/Gretchen is an Australian I still hear her posts in the voice of a fat, kinda British woman.

I don't hear her voice at all. It's probably because I live halfway around the globe, if I had to commit to a guess right now.
On the other hand, whenever I see "Krystin" I think someone is talking about me. Kirsten, Krystin, bah!

You're just not listening closely enough. I can hear Gretchen hunting Kangaroos and dancing with Aborigines while typing this!! (Are there lots of kangaroos where you're at, Krystin?!?)

Hahahaha. Glad you liked them hun Check out The Kings of Leon too, their newest album is pretty much listen-able throughout, which I always find impressive.
