Posted by grace6697 | July 8, 2008 2:06 PM
the new album is good - very good, in places - but not great. no match for the s/t BSS or kevin drew's record. (maybe that's why feist sat this one out.)
Posted by Anonymous | July 8, 2008 2:08 PM
Grace,
You would be excited for Siren considering it is the worst lineup in years. In addition to that no one actually gives a shit that you are excited. Yes i have seen your inane comments on here for awhile and i agree with others who have said that you are a moron.

"Better a moron than an asshole!"
Well i would expect one moron to stick up for another.
"you know it's just the internet, right?
calm down."
Perfectly calm but the fact that it is the Internet does not make it anywhere near right for you to be a moron, Grace.
Posted by A Manhattan Not Brooklyn Asshole | July 8, 2008 2:46 PM
hey 2:34 - are you insane? All Grace has said is that she is excited for Siren- and now you are talking trash about her. I would like to talk trash about some of your comments.
Posted by Anonymous | July 8, 2008 2:54 PM
a manhattan not brooklyn asshole is a small hipster moron behind a big machine. if you want to get out your aggression on the internet, that's fine.
atta boy.
Posted by grace6697 | July 8, 2008 3:01 PM
Anon 2:54 please feel free to talk trash about any of my comments. It will not bother me, trust me. As for what i said about Grace, if you read my comment you could clearly see I mentioned reading many of Grace's comments on here over a period of time. Not just this one. I am not the only one who is of the opinion that she is a fucking moron. Search for yourself and see.
As for you Grace, i have no aggression towards a fuckwad like yourself. Was simply pointing out that you are a dummy which has been stated about you on here by a number of others. But thanks for that idiotic last comment. What is clear from that is you certainly are not a psychologist by trade.

So lame. Is that the best you can do. Putting a capital i instead of an L to try and attribute some comment to me. Cmon moron i expect something better than that.

Calling someone a fuckwad does not imply aggression towards them so there was no contradiction.

wow, these posting boards stopped being about music a long time ago. now it's mostly about insecure people sounding off on people for a fleeting moment of hollow victory.
as a reminder, music is what is coming out of your headphones and stereo speakers when you turn them on. it fun. try to relax and listen to it.

Wow another amateur psychologist moron. Grace, i think you found yourself a partner. Hey dude, you seeing someone making a comment in terms of it being a victory of some sort really says more about what a fool you are then the person actually making the comment.

i have a theory: AMNBA is The What from brownstoner, taking a break from his day gig?

AMNBA might be grace6697's ex-boyfriend, which is why he is constantly going after her.
Posted by Anonymous | July 8, 2008 5:01 PM
AMNBA is eerily similar to NAMBLA. now we all understand.

My god these are the worst comebacks and cracks ever hahahaha. Lame tools cannot come up with anything better than this????? You do give people in my office quite a few laughs though. Keep it up schmucks.

Why does that matter douche police. You would not be able to come there anyway. You are way too busy trying to keep your mother and the rest of your pathetic family in line.

The worst "cracks"? Are you 75 years old? "Lame tools"? We should all be so vernacularly blessed.

I think he just threw in that 'office' line so we would think he's more than a misunderstood 12 year old in OK.

Hahahah not a very good teacher you fool. Where was i so off teach? Oh and "^^^" to start off any sentence is certainly the mark of any good teacher.
"We should all be so vernacularly blessed."
Tito, have you been taking lessons from the teacher above? Seems like it.
And yes i am a 12 year old in OK. You got me, Sherlock Moron.

A Manhattan Not Brooklyn Asshole:
Has a small penis? Check.
Was beaten up/verbally abused in high school? Check.
Gets laid? Rarely, if ever.
Hates his parents? Check.
Is the "friend" in his group who all the other friends talk shit on behind his back? Check.
Has a life? Negative.

Your welcome. Okay, here's something your may not already know: Commenting as frequently as you do suggests a lack of any actual life beyond this message board, or to be more generous, no life beyond the internet. Do you actually exist outside of a computer? Are you a malicious piece of software? Are you a Spambot that has reached consciousness?
Who is your programmer, Asshole?!

No, you have no idea what you're talking about. Even if your intention was not to scare people away from buying tickets, you are still making things up. You have no idea if it is "a BSS show" and you happen to be wrong.
