United States

Sorry, Cap'n, my bad...that was meant for Skippy McCokeSpoon up there. He obviously has never been out of this country for even a minute.

I was scratchin meh head saying, "did I drop a brain cell too many or wtf"? lol

I know this isn't going to make me anymore popular with the socialists here, but if Europe is so great, why the f**k aren't you there? Seriously... All of you brilliant international musicians should have just stayed there if it's so superior.

And FYI... If you don't suck, you will get paid. That's called capitalism. It's really not appropriate for the government to spend my money supporting your f**k hobby.

LOL! Oh beauuuutiful..."love it or leave it". Archie Bunker mentality.

Why am I not surprised?

Hey Einstein...some of us can appreciate other places while still preferring to live here, and hell...maybe improve home a little bit in the meantime. Is that another thing thats flown over your noggin?

And by the way, "whether you suck or not" has nothing to do with the reason for the NEA. Because the market was determining "suckage", while pioneering artists who didnt fit market demand were getting lost in the melee - that was the reason the NEA was founded.

Did you EVER crack a book?

I didn't say love it or leave you f**k loser. It's simply a matter of logic (of which you seem to be lacking) that one would choose to live in whichever country best suits them. I recently moved to a new city because I preferred it to the one I had been living in. Perhaps you should try meeting some adults instead of preteen ravers. Maybe then you can keep up.

And, yet again you missed the point. If something is good, it will sell and the artist can make money. If it is not, then it will not sell and will remain a hobby. It is not up to the government to use my tax dollars to pay for your f**k suck-ass digital representations of what was once music.

That's why you don't hear of a large number of people leaving America to get medical treatment. There are, however, many people coming to American for medical treatment.

Holy sh*t, do you even live on the same planet as us? People are going across BOTH borders all the time to get health care/dental care! My wife (Polish born) lived for 25 years in Canada and she told me that Americans were always coming over to buy cheaper drugs, etc. When I lived on the border lands of New Mexico, I can tell you there was a steady stream of Americans heading to Ciudad Juarez every weekend to get their teeth fixed or to buy cheap drugs.

HINT...READ A NEWSPAPER every once in a while.

Cheap drugs are hardly medical treatment. The vast majority of border jumping involves people coming to America to see a qualified physician in a timely manner. True, Canada has far cheaper prescription drugs, which has driven the prices up in America. You see, the drug companies can't make as much money in Canada. They have to make money in order to fund research on new drugs. So they raise the prices here. If they can't make money here, they will not be able to make nearly as many advancements. Just think where you'd be if they hadn't developed Viagra. Hanging out at raves, hitting on teeny-boppers with no way of backing it up. Even if your idiotic see through shirt showing your man tits did anything for them.

At your age, I'm sure you noticed the flu shot shortage a few years ago? That's what happens when the government get involved in medicine. When the government set a price on flu shots, the companies weren't making money and all but one switched to other ventures. Hence, the shortage.

Do a search for "socialized medicine" and read it throughly. (or feel the bumps/look the pictures)

3rdshift has no music? big surprise there.

I didn't bother to post any tracks, because it wasn't necessary. I posted my ad and found what I was looking for. All's well here.

Yeah, keep bleating, Skippy. We know what you meant, and it was "love it or leave it". You don't simply pick up and move to an entirely different continent for one reason alone, unless its political asylum (well, you may, but it would be for an asylum of a different kind). Smart people who prefer to live in their own nation can learn the good things about others and work to incorporate them into their own, where there is lack. Try to wrap your warped cranial husk around that one.

And by the way, since when is playing one's own compositions on a grand piano a "suck ass digital representation"? Nobody ever took you to a concert hall to listen to anything besides your outdated Ramones-esque pap?

And the manchild continues:

I think the only reason you use newspaper is to line your own litter box. But I digress...

Drugs are PART of medical treatment, Einstein. And you must have missed the part where I said Americans also go across the border for treatments, not just the drugs (hint for the day - you don't undergo a dental procedure by just popping a pill). The Pharmas in the USA are so outrageously expensive and greedy, that many Americans dont have much of a choice but to wander into the neighbors yard. See, Skippy, it's one of the big reasons our nation is in such a sh*t mess when it comes to health care. But you wouldnt mind, I'm sure...I'll bet you pull yourself up by yer big ol bootstraps and make your own drugs out of squirrel dung and elmers glue. Not sure if you sniff it or shoot it.

Additionally, I noticed that they stopped selling certain varieties of Viagra, because in people like you they caused intense swelling of the neck. Let's have a cheer for the regulatory commission!

And the music-less wonder wraps it up with:

Oh I'll bet you found what you were looking for...I can see it now..."Converse Clad Garage Band Loser Seeks Impressionable Teen To Give Him Fleeting Sense of Self Worth".

Next time, try a picture of something more than your shoes. Unless of course the result would be horrifying.

You really do amuse me. The track you posted sounds pretty much like the other pre-written, re-mixed horse sh*t I've heard at countless raves. It sure didn't sound very original to me. You are complaining about the fact that I posted a picture of my pedals that included my shoes. I did so because the picture amuses me. I'm sure that in your travels you've heard the phrase "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Why don't we take a minute to discuss your pics. In the first you are trying so hard to look "dark" and "evil". You appear to be wearing enough make-up to pass for a "lady of the evening". Quick question: What do the john's do when your lipstick comes off on their dick?

In the second picture you show exactly what I referred to before... An old man trying desperately to be young and hip. A see through shirt? Really? All you were missing was a pacifier and a glow stick. There's a sketch from the show "The Kids in the Hall" about you. "He's Hip! He's Cool! He's 45!" I think you should watch it so you can see what the rest of the world sees when they look at you. You are a pathetic embarrasment.

The third is my favorite. It looks like the senior picture of someone who spent a great deal of high school being stuffed into lockers... Only way older. I like the D&D sword and the harp. Maybe after the Ren Fair, when you get back to your shabby little basement apartment facing the grade school, you can sit back and write another brilliant, original composition to wow us all. Or maybe to try and score with more preteen ravers. Douche.

By the way, having not heard my music, you can't really say much about it based on my listing of bands I like. But I appreciate the effort. I've played a lot of things over the years. I've gone to punk and ska because I enjoy it. It's easy, it's fun, and it provides the most direct way of getting a message across.

Try again, Nancy... I'm looking forward to it!

Why don't you confound modern science and use that pea sized brain of yours to look around on the internet a bit to see more of what I do. For instance, you may well find my original piano compositions here ->

Or some celtic harp here

When your done whiping the sh*t off your face, see if you can form a cogent reponse.

If you back away from the bong for a second, maybe you'll remember that you in fact started all the crap about my "looks". I was giving you a teaspoonfull of your crap back, and as with most children, you don't like it. See Skippy, looks don't mean much when it comes to real music. Or I should say, for real musicians...who post their own music. Which leads me to....

I see lots of talk, but wonder of wonders..I hear no posted music. That usually means someone with mouth as big as yours doesn't have the musical "cash" to back up their cheque.

See, as with muzickmage, I think I see what's going on here. In you we have yet another no account jism stain on the latrine floor of the music scene, talking sh*t and projecting your abject failures on everybody else. But you really go wrong here, because there are plenty of people around who will take your sh*t talk and shove it back down your throat; exposing you for the soured pretender that you are.

Basically, the best advice is that you shouldn't start with the personal attacks here. You won't win, you won't gain any admiration, you won't increase credibility, you won't achieve anything but the increasing decibels of the chorus of people laughing at you. Not with you, AT you. You'll be reduced to everything you were on entering; a no name, irrelevent, trash talking blob of pixels with nothing to offer.

Be happy you at least achieved that honor.

And you know, I've just noticed this...Skippy it looks like I'm the only one bothering to speak to you at all lately. I think I am now going to join the ranks of the wise ones who have chosen to ignore you. So, continue throwing poop out of your cage at passers-by, and admiring your work.

Irminsul, don't slander the bong by associating it with him.

2) Why do you bother to tell him, he knows it all. He is as good to go as a NO MUSIC guy can be. (Fwaaaaaaaa) (bad smell) lol

Yep, there it is. I'll do what my aunt used to do when the kids acted like shrieking little twats. She ignored them until they passed out or left.

Are those CONVERSE on his feet? LOL

I think so. How Joey Ramone. Real cutting edge.

He must be successful, he is endorsing CONVERSE. lol

The question is in what capacity..

I just went to their "website", http://www.thirdshiftpsycho.com/main.php

First off, you notice there is no content outside of a picture and some pretentious oh-we're-so-bad-and-on-the-edge angry teenager text. Here's a sample -

"We play aggresive, hate-filled, obscene punk in the style of Third Shift Psycho"

Ooooh how scary and unheard of! I'm sweating bullets already, are you?

The next thing the visitor will notice is that there are no pics on the pics page (sooooprise soooooprise), the "message area" doesnt work (soooprise sooooprise) and last but not least - you guessed it - there is no music on the music page. Gee, a very little detail for a BAND'S website dont ya think?

Judging from the front photo, I would assume that our shit-talking little prick friend is the guitarist "Jansen Nivens". Thats a name I would expect attached to some little boarding school Fauntleroy so its no surprise he is so full of anger. And you'll also notice his obvious girth. Looks like he needs to lay off the HoHos and fast food if you ask me. I dunno, after seeing what these guys look like its no wonder they are begging women to send them pictures of themselves naked....it's likely that's as close as they will ever get to actual sex.

Suffice to say, JANSEN is really lobbing stones in glass houses talking smack about other peoples' music and looks. But I suspect, deep down in his developmentally arrested soul, he knows that and it fuels his oh so impressive anger.
