thats a pretty good list Shannen. i like several of those and you are the only other Bloc fan besides me here I think.
and speaking of Bloc Party- what do you think of their new album? i dislike a couple tracks, but overall its pretty good and Talons kicks ass.[/quote:2k7zvphw]
Get to know about them during my school days in UK during thier formation (unknown as Bloc Party yet). They are just like SP (Ops! the SPfreakies would disagree with this. But pls don’t jump into conclusion yet before finish reading my sentence
) but they have different style in projecting thier lyrics. I found thier new album is kind of a bit conservative compare to thier previous albums. Yes, I have to agree with you I dislike a few tracks though. Found them kinda cheesy (to Bloc Party fans out there, no offence. *Peace*).
P/S: I like MCR too
[/quote:2k7zvphw]"like the SP"
sorry, i had too. i really like them, but i don’t think they have as much to their music as Billy does. some songs have feeling- but its not like what you get with the SP and the song writing isn’t as good as Billy’s. i still like them loads though. i think i just put the SP on a pedestal and refuse to put anyone else even near that in my mind. 
but yes- Bloc Party kicks ass.as for the new album- yeah, some tracks are cheesy. Mercury for example, which also gets my vote as one of the worst music vids ever.
i don’t like the first track either. i forget what its called. so you first liked them as Union then Shannen? some of their early stuff was pretty cool. i really like Rivulet. they should resurrect it. its an awesome song.
your english is fine.
i don’t know if i want these. they don’t look that great and they are pretty pricey given what they are.
i think the chat room works for me, but i presume no one is ever in there so i never go there. i think we need something at the bottom of the screen to list when someone is in the chat room.
noooo- not the finger licking.
how about one when he is rocking or something and maybe one with hair.

Dâarcy Elizabeth Wretzky (born May 1, 1968 in South Haven, Michigan), also known simply as Dâarcy, is a rock musician best known for her work as a bass player with the alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins.
Early Life
Wretzky was born and raised in Michigan, where her mother, a musician, encouraged Dâarcy and her sisters to perform music. Growing up, she played the violin and oboe, and performed in choirs. She also performed gymnastics. She would later refer to her father, a building contractor with a love of horseback riding, as âa very strange man.â The young Wretzky was a self-described âtomboyâ, and had a contentious relationship with her sister. She attended South Havenâs L.C. Mohr High School, where she grew interested in post-punk and played in cover bands. After high school, she moved to France to join a band, but the band had already disbanded upon her arrival, prompting her to return to the United States. She then moved to Chicago and spent the summer living with friends and attending concerts.
The Smashing Pumpkins
After a concert at a local rock club, Wretzky overheard Billy Corgan criticizing the band that had performed. An argument and discussion followed, and Corgan recruited her into his band, the nascent Smashing Pumpkins, which, at the time, was merely Corgan, James Iha, and a drum machine. Wretzky accepted, and Jimmy Chamberlin completed the lineup a few months later, after Joe Shanahan encouraged Corgan to add a live drummer.
Wretzkyâs time in the band was marked by alternating periods of happiness and discomfort. Corgan considered her the âmortal authorityâ and âmoral conscienceâ of the band. In the aftermath of the success of 1995âs Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Corgan said she began an âapparent slow descent into insanity and/or drugs (take your pick).â Finally, in 1999, Wretzky left the band to pursue an acting career. Corgan later said she was âfired for being a mean spirited drug addict who refused to get help.â She was replaced with former Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur.
Wretzky is the credited bassist on the Smashing Pumpkinsâ first five studio albums – Gish, Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Adore, and MACHINA/The Machines of God. It was confirmed by both Corgan and herself, however, that Corgan would often record the bass tracks for albums because he could complete them in far fewer takes. Wretzky often contributed backing vocals in concert. She sang on four Smashing Pumpkins songs – âDaydreamâ, from Gish, âFarewell and Goodnightâ and âBeautifulâ, from Mellon Collie, and âDreamingâ, from The Aeroplane Flies High. Wretzky also cowrote one Smashing Pumpkins song, âDaughterâ.
Personal life
Wretzky and bandmate James Iha dated for a time in the early 1990s, with their breakup adding considerable tension to the recording of Siamese Dream. Wretzky went on to marry Kerry Brown, the drummer of the band Catherine, in 1994. Her vocals were featured on the tracks âFour Leaf Cloverâ and âPunch Me Outâ on the bandâs 1996 LP, Hot Saki and Bedtime Stories. She also appeared in the video for âFour Leaf Cloverâ. The couple has since been divorced for several years. She is still friends with James Iha. Incidentally, Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin recorded Zeitgeist at Brownâs home studio in 2006.
Wretzky was arrested January 25, 2000 in Chicago after she purchased three bags of crack cocaine. According to police, undercover officers observed Wretzky and a male companion enter a building on West Grand Avenue and then shortly afterwards returned to their car. The driver, identified as Tony Young, then drove off without his headlights on and proceeded to make two illegal U-turns before police stopped the car. When searched, the police found drugs in Youngâs pocket. The driver insisted they were not his, claiming that Wretzky âhanded me some rocks to hold.â Upon questioning, she admitted giving him the three plastic bags. She successfully completed a court-ordered drug education program, and the charges were dropped.
Wretzky has been living in Watervliet, Michigan since 2000. She owns a horse farm and three antique shops. One of her horses, âJet Set Missâ, was accepted into the Arabian Horse Pilot Program in August 2000 after passing inspection in Romeo, Michigan.
She has remained almost entirely out of the public eye since 2000, and since 2006, she has been living in Austin, Texas.[/quote:1wu793bc]
