Hey, you people seem to have well reasoned thoughts and oppinions!

Most of you guys seem to be writers and in order to be a good writer one must usualy have had to read quite extensively. And in the course of so much reading, aquire some interesting view points. This would, in turn, lead to you guys having a greater apreciation of what constitutes a good view point. And in placing judgment upon it and being a good observer (another typical trait of most writers), and in effect, by practicing the act of judging, you have discovered that reasoning and logic are the keys to making the best type of judgment in any given situation. And in the very least, even if you didn't aquire such good reasoning and observational skills, you could still communicate your crappy oppinions and ideas in a very well done manner. Which is usualy not the case in the internet world. Usualy I get both the crappy view point, and have it communicated to me in a completely unintelligible manner, I might add.

[EXAMPLE 1.1

Me: Do you think Kurt's upbringing played a crucial role in having Kurt become the musical genuis he was? And was his genuisnes limited to his circumstance? Or does his genuis transcend circumstance and make him as brillant an artist no matter the circumstance?

Can you believe our generation created such an ideotic form of writting style? Well, I can. I'm always a fan of chaos and witty displays of creativity. So fuck it.

And enough with this shit!

I came here to ask a question, and am I ever, oh so, curious. So let's get on with it. Shall we? Ok, first of all you're definitely going to need a lot of lube--don't ask questions! I seriously, hope you do decide to use the lube though, you'll need it.

Anyways, I'm in a band that is locating to the lovely city of Boston. And I'm wondering, what are some of you guys' opinions on the current Boston scene. Anybody in contact with the area frequently? Can anybody tell me what Boston tastes like? And, who are some of the bands home to Boston that are now starting to get a buzz? Anyboy review a few shows in Boston? What's the typical place an independent and original band will play for in the Boston area? A local bar or club?

Hey any and all thoughts and oppinions on the Boston scene will be gratefully appreciated.

So go to town motherfuckers!

BTW mr aborigine-strobe-light, where are you relocating from? The 'current Boston scene' is kinda eh but it depends on what kind of music y'all are into and what you guys play. Also, the Cl34r Ch4nn3l uber-conglomerate recently bought out a bunch of the venues there, including one of my favorite little places for up and coming local acts (TT's)-- fuck them!!

[i]BTW mr aborigine-strobe-light, where are you relocating from?[/i]

Questions? I love questions!
Well, the answer is quite simple actualy. We are relocating from the state of Maine. Apartments tough to get in bean-town, mister-mister?

hey, i'm a girl!

move to somerville/allston/JP rather than boston proper, it's bettah in most cases. or cambridge, if you have the dough. the only part of boston i'd live in would be the fort point/south-ish area, where there are still some warehouses/loft spaces that can be gotten for decent prices. or maybe chinatown.

― geeta (geeta), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 07:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Madame, my complete and ever so sincere apoligies.

Yeah chinatown, that'd be neat! My brother, who's also in the band will be going to berkley, as is our drummer. Is there a neighborhood where a lot of poor students tend to locate to?

I like how positive Jewish Aboriginy Strobe Light is about everything. Someone uses retarded internet speak and he says it's witty; heck, he even said he loved questions!

I like your attitude kid... ya got moxy, you're goin' places!

Anyway, how is the Boston scene, as compared to say New York or Seattle? These are all cities that seem interesting to me (My cousin lives in Brookline in Boston, so Ive been there and like it a lot, but know nothing of the music). What's the scene for, I guess "indie rock" (I still can't say it without feeling uncomfortable)?

I've lived in Detroit all my life, and while it has a great musical scene... that's all it's got. It litterally looks like the remains of a nuclear war.

(You can do italics by replacing your brackets ']' '[' with angle-brackets '>' '< '.)

A lot of poor students live in Allston. If your brother's going to be at Berklee, you might want to investigate the area around Symphony Hall or the Fenway; it isn't the cheapest, but there's a large student population due to the proximity of Northeastern, Berklee and Boston Conservatory (not to mention Simmons and Emmanual down the road).

In general, anything that gets you on the green line of the T or on Mass Ave will be good. Venues to check out... well, the Middle East is always cool. It's been so long since I've regularly gone to shows, I'm deeply out of touch with what's going on.

D-d-don't move to Allston, you will be surrounded by loud B.U. students and indie bicycle fascists. At least I was. Try Somerville.
