Why does everyone always bring up that I like Garage Rock? Yeah, I had a journal about it, but it's not all that I listen to. I mean, I had a journal about Disco too, you know, but it's not like i'm about to put on suspenders and jump in the roller rink.

I'd love to plug with you, I really would, but I can't. The computer i'm at right now doesn't handle it very well.

I meant that the gif sparked the Xena discussion in this thread, not all Xena fandom and discussions ever. Anyway, I don't doubt that you know more about Xena than I do, since I didn't watch it when it first aired.

Well I also haven't seen it since the series finale, so I've forgotten most of it. Have to say though, the whole story arc in Hercules where she reforms wasn't written all that well. Not that the writing on those shows was ever Emmy worthy, but it was still kind of ham-fisted.

And I like music that isn't avant-garde. Go figure.

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I've never actually watched Xena to the end. I originally started watching it with someone else, and after they left, it just didn't feel right watching it without them.

But the difference is that Avant Garde music, and the lifestyle surrounding it, are an integral part of your image. Every day, you find a different way to jokingly say "I'm pretentious, isn't that awesome?", while posting black and white pictures of you and your patchy neckbeard, and advertising your newest drone conquests. I can't even remember the last time I had the opportunity to talk about Garage Rock with anyone on Music Banter (probably back when I made that Sonics thread when I first joined). People think that you're a beatnik because you want them to, and you try very hard to maintain that whole "intellectual" persona, while people think i'm obsessed with Garage Rock because that's literally the only thing they know about me (Well, not literally. They also know I like Xena ).

My neck is the only part of my beard that I shave and the centerpiece of my last album wasn't even drone bruh. Not to mention that you think I'm like how I am because I want the image, I'm just like this mate. As for you, I don't know, maybe talk about music more and people will think you like more than garage rock? I don't see you too much around the music forums anymore but maybe you post in threads I don't go into. I did miss your journal but that's because I only follow a few.

The neck is the only part that you shave because it's the only part that you have to shave; you can't grow any significant hairs anywhere else, save for some vaguely moustache-esque wisps.

And I do talk about music, all the time, it's just that I spend most of my time in Plug with Neapolitan, Violet, and Zedd. I would post more in the forums, but trying to start a thread/discussion about bands you like gets really old since people usually can't be bothered to care unless it's a very popular band. And the general genre/recommendation threads get old as well, since people usually care more about posting as many videos as possible rather than actually talking (and I admit, i'm not immune to the "listen to what I like, dammit!" fever either).

Frownland

That's exactly why I shave my neck, plus it just looks messy. The albums you're digging and last album you bought threads are my go tos rather than create a specific thread for a group.

Alright, let's get back to the pictionary. This is starting to become "The Unofficial Oriphiel Appreciation/Depreciation Thread".

But first, really quickly... Hey Batlord, I've decided to start watching Xena again, starting with the first episode tonight! It's about time that I finally watched it through to the end.

The Batlord

We're Xena buddies, then. Just remember. There are six seasons of 22 episodes each. Plus two more for the first season.
