Golly goth! It looks like I'm a trendsetter with the avatars. "Mystery bags" for all!

I really hate feeling like crap, I REALLY hate missing school. But I don't have English on Tuesdays and Theo is a joke, so that's ok. Today I get to see Haunted House and he is taking peektures of me. I want to open a present.

I'm a bit late, but why does everyone "alternative" love the dresden dolls with their life? I find their sound awful and pretentious. They're decently arranged, though.
I still despise them.

The Dresden Dolls are pretentious...but I still like them, even though pretentious...ness makes me angry.
Nothing makes me angrier then paisley.

How do you mean? They themselves, as people, are pretentious? Or the lyrics?

I think their music has a generally pretentious sound. I suppose it has to do with their form of artistic self indulgence I've noticed when I've heard them. [Not that I have anything against artistic self indulgence, just the self indulgence that DD executes.]

Hmm, I haven't really listened to enough of them that I can talk about it too well.

The Dresden Dolls were played on the radio all the time here for awhile, and they were all over such channels as Fuse. That's where I first heard them.

Pfft, penguins. . . Overrated.
Kitties? Cute, but not better than lesbian pirates.
Tacos? Well, I ate your taco, 'nuff said.

I rather love the dresden dolls, I find amanda palmer has an incredible stage presence, and a very elegant visual style to go along with quite decent ability as a vocalist and lyricist, they are very pretensious, but they're very aware of their pretensiousness, they're a bombastic act, and they know they're a bombastic act, I personally find that everyone to some degree is fake, and isn't it just more pretensious to hold pretense to unpretensiousness, more false to lie about telling the truth, they admit they're fake, to quote velvet goldmine: Man is least himself when he speaks in his own person, give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth

I understand this might make me the most überungoth person of all time, but I've never heard the Dresden Dolls. I've heard of them, just not their music. What genre/style is it?

Listen to some here:
http://www.dresdendolls.com/download...rics/index.htm
Best I can describe it is cabaret punk-rock. Quite unique, and it sounds great.

Hmm this was something I just remembered from last week. I went to London to see a play with my drama class. I had the window seat & she was asleep so I was looking into the cars below from the coach.
Bascially I saw a man driving without any trousers or underwear on. I caught a glimpse of all his glory. Thankfully the coach got itself out of the traffic jam quickly so I could carry on looking out the window.
It was rather strange...

That's fairly terrifying.
Whereabouts was that? Birmingham?

Unfortunately no one has been here since the beginning. The oldest member I knew (not in age) had signed in on 2003.

Haha. It is quite odd to think that no one has been here since the beginning, is it not? Then again, I probably won't be around much longer. Sure, I love this forum to death, but I generally move away from things after being dedicated to them for awhile, and then I make my return, leave, return, leave, on and on.
