Contemplating getting my first tattoo soon. Many folks here have any? Care to share their experiences? :P

I've had an idea in my head for months now, just need to try and price it/get an artist who would be willing to draw it up for me.

I have 8 now. It's not too bad getting tattooed! Everyone's experience is different though so just make sure you go the the artist you're most comfortable with.

People spend 2K on a TV and it's fine, but when it's on a different hobby it's instantly outrageous.

Should mention though, that's Summit-Fi. That's the top of range as regards to headphones, there's thousands and I mean thousands more spent on DACs and amps. Tis a hobby that, if you're really into your music and want every little detail, you invest the cash, like any other hobby, simple as.

Example, just in case you think I'm talking shíte

Diamond DAC IV plus: Starting price; $27995.

Well tbh, I think spending 2k on a TV is a bit mental too. :P

I'm sure they're all fantastic headphones, and if I had the money, I'd probably be the first to buy a set of them just to experience it, But I don't get why you'd spend 2k on a set of headphones when you could spend 1k and get a kick ass surround sound system AND a pair of top of the line headphones.

But each to their own I guess.

Sometimes the headphones are there in place of a massive speaker set up. I myself have no problem investing money into it. The beyerdyanmic T1s you linked are actually on my hit list when funds allow. If you can, try it. Buy a decent set within your means and see for yourself :P (of course no promises you will, isn't for everyone)

So I was randomly searching Amazon to find some 80's compilation CD's to give away as prizes, and I saw the following:

Now... how in the name of Zeus's BUTTHOLE, does it make sense that the CD (which they have to package and ship), costs more than the digital download?

DAFUQ like.

Is there a site where you can get that done, or is that a pic from the actual show?

Looks like there will be an Oxegen 2013, not sure if yay or nay, will have to see the line up. But with rumours of Elton John and Snoop Dogg to headline I don't ave high hopes!

Come on EP!!

:O I am at a loss for words.

Good day to you sir!

:pac:

I'm hoping for the National to play anywhere, I'd give a crazy amount of money to see them live!

I better clarify.

Both festivals have their bad elements, but Oxegen just by it's target audience tends to attract more scumbags and amateur-hour teenagers. :P

Would love to go to EP again this year... Seeing the Undertones, Pulp and Arcade Fire there in '11 is still fresh in my memory. :P

Haha yeah I know, I was at Oxegen for '11 myself. It was grand but as you said, it's target audience can leave much to be desired :pac: Plus the direction it's taking in the bands it's getting is just not good.

So I'm hoping for a good EP line-up this year! I assure you I shall leave my scumbaggery at home

Ah some scumbaggery is grand.

We came out of Arcade Fire on the Saturday night and sat on the grass just off to the side of the main stage waiting for the Chemical Brothers to start. Randomly some guy in the stereotypical scumbag gear comes over and we have a ten minute conversation with him about how he snuck in and was totally off his face. Lovely guy. :P

Then at Austra on the Sunday night, some dude was offering me meth. :pac:

One of the highlights was seeing someone (I think David O'Doherty) in the Comedy Tent, and he was just starting his set when he was like "Oh look, a guy rolling a joint in the front row. Jeez, I knew there was a relaxed vibe around here but come on like!".

Ah twas a good weekend.

I'd love Biffy Clyro to do EP though. T'would be savage.

Lightbulb Sun · 01-02-2013 05:14PM

Sounds like the first guy was just a decent guy dressed in a tracksuit.

wnolan1992 · 04-02-2013 11:34AM

Lads... Did I completely miss the memo that said we're all going to follow American Football now?

The amount of people talking about the Superbowl who've never mentioned AF before is quite interesting...

I was thinking the same thing. I reckon most of the people don't even know how it works.

My BF is mad about it, has been for years and the team he supports are in playing in London in September so I have to go. Why did he wait until after we'd bought tickets to tell me that matches are like 4 hours long? I thought they were like 90 minutes. I get to sit outside in the freezing cold in pretty much October for 4 hours. I think for revenge I'll make him go to a musical.

I worked at the AF game over here in Dublin.
Ridiculously, painfully, skull meltingly long and the Americans needed so much babysitting but... I was working in the Marine section
