Pan's Labyrinth finally... twas awesome
2. What is your religious affiliation, if any?
Agnostic
3. What are you listening to right now, music or otherwise?
Stereolab

No. They're thought of as the greatest band of all time, and whether or not you agree with that, you cannot make a better case for any other band.

No, I'm in school :(
6. Do you play any instruments?
Guitar, and I like to mess around with the Drum machine on my computer.

I think it's the difference between being made out to be just "the greatest band of all time" and "the greatest four people of all time" that makes me vote yes for overrated.

Mojo 07-18-2009 11:29 AM

1. Have you seen any films this past week? Which?
Southland Tales and Gridiron Gang. No, i'm not a fan of The Rock but a mate dropped them round for me. Southland Tales didn't do it for me, I never expected it would from the moment I saw who had been casted in it and all the anticipation went down the drain. It was not however as bad as some have made it out to be and I think i'm gonna give it another go before I condemn it. Gridiron Gang was actually an alright film, or at least it was better than I thought it would be. It was a bit of a shocker in that sense.

Oh I also just watched Kicking & Screaming on ITV to put off getting in the shower. Don't bother. It aint worth it.

2. What is your religious affiliation, if any?
Raised catholic. Used to go to church every week. Was even an altar boy when I was a kid. Then I started listening to the Devils music and was outcast. Not really, but I wouldn't say I had faith any more at all.

3. What are you listening to right now, music or otherwise?
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys. Machine Gun is the dogs bollocks. Fact.

4. Are the Beatles overrated?
For a lot of people The Beatles are the greatest example of a rock and roll band there has ever been. They set the bar that no one ever has or ever will reach because The Beatles are simply THAT good. That however is not their fault. The Beatles are not over-rated, they were a great band. I've just had the White Album on less than an hour ago. It's the people who can't open up their mind to anything other than the Beatles that I have a problem with.

5. Have you or will you go anywhere on vacation this summer?
I'm going to Scotland in a few weeks. And Ireland in October.

6. Do you play any instruments?
I HAVE instruments. I have a bass and until recently I had a guitar until I gave it to a mate in exchange for a rather generous few quid to line my pockets with. I cant PLAY them though because i'm impatient and lazy.

1. Have you seen any films this past week? Which?
Oh **** you RT...

The Ex, Trainspotting, Chaplin, The Onion Movie, Pumpkinhead, Bickford Schmeckler's Cool Ideas, and right before this week started I saw Pump Up the Volume.

2. What is your religious affiliation, if any?
Agnostic atheism.

3. What are you listening to right now, music or otherwise?
PCP by Manic Street Preachers on repeat. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.

4. Are the Beatles overrated?
Yes, their first 3 albums are almost pure filler. The only thing that got better throughout those first few efforts was the singles.

5. Have you or will you go anywhere on vacation this summer?
No.

6. Do you play any instruments?
No, hopefully guitar someday.

Saying you're agnostic doesn't really answer the question. It means you're unsure of the existence of a deity, but do you live under the assumption that there is a higher power or not?
