Thanks for the mention unlovedwarrior on the favorite sites. If I were to list more than one site I would have also mentioned digg, an excellent site! Kevin Rose definitely did good with that, good to see since TechTV went all down hill after the Comcast purchase.

Hello and welcome Rebecca. You're definitely winning the key ring competition. 14 keys is a lot of keys. If you're running your own business or site, don't hesitate to add it to your signature. I also modified your post because your first bold tag didn't get in.

Mike, hope your account is working now after your e-mail hiccup. Ctrl+Alt+Delete is another great site and probably something I would of also put in if I were to list all my favorite sites. Also a big fan of penny-arcade of course.

Never heard of anti-folk before Chris. Did a search and read the wiki article about it. Listened to some of the examples they had in the External links, pretty interesting. Al Bhed as another language.. heh, If true you win some major geek points for that one.

John, sorry I never really responded to that MySpace comment you left a while back, I always get frustrated with the advertisement/arcane setup of Myspace every time I visit so usually leave after a few minutes. Of course thanks for the mention on your favorite site. Had to do another wiki search for "post hardcore", yet another genre of music I've never heard of, apparently I'm way out of touch with music. Listened to "horses" and "riding the grape dragon" by "These Arms Are Snakes", probably not the best examples, just randomly selected from a list of artists to listen to and thought their bands name was interesting.

If you're interested in anti-folk, I'm definitely the guy to ask.  I just checked out that Wiki entry and I can't say I'm too impressed, but it does give a lot of really good links.  One band you'll have to check out is The Moldy Peaches.  They're the band playing in the wallpaper I posted over on the Other board.  My pal Toby played guitar in the band until they went on hiatus.  Back in the day, they were always touring with The Strokes.  You should definitely check out the individual members' solo work.  A couple of other favorites of mine are Jeffrey Lewis and Regina Spektor.  I'm going to stop there because I could go on forever about this genre.  Just be sure to check out Antifolk.Net and Antifolk Online.  I'd be willing to send a few mixes your way.

I can't actually speak Al Bhed fluently (I'm not that good).  Just certain words and phrases here and there.  But because I spent so much time with it while playing FFX, I have no problem reading and writing it.  It just kinda stuck with me, I guess.

Chris, thanks for the offer about sending me mixes, but I usually just randomly go around and listen to streaming audio stuff now days. Checked out Moldy Peaches and their song "LuckyNumberNine" is pretty good stuff. Also pulled them up on Hype Machine and seems like they have pretty interesting music, listening to each of the songs now. I'll have to check out your other links you recommended after I'm done listening to this.

So what does your Al Bhed example translate to Chris?

Robert, our first left handed person. Looks like the Dark Blade Clan site is getting more activity. That's good to see.

I'm glad you like "Lucky Number Nine".  Did you watch the video?  It's one of my favorites.  "Steak For Chicken" is another great song by them.  As are "NYC's A Graveyard" and "D2 Boyfriends" (if you were ever a Duran Duran fan).

As for the Al Bhed...it translates to "I am such a loser.  I spend all day on Computer Hope when I should be doing my homework."  Ha.

[Computer Hope Admin]

Yeah I did watch their video was pretty good and creative. Unlike many music videos these days.

I noticed it too, but I thought Nathan meant IT people use computer as if they get into it and make a one piece.

[Zylstra]

I noticed it, but thought it was a typo, good response Street1
I used to spend 45Min a day in the computer, and then hours on end on them. (But that is no longer)
