I was under the impression that this \"Bailout\" was not yet certain to happen, am I wrong on that?

My 2 cents on the whole thing as Johnny Foreigner is that

A: Obama is certainly the candidate of the 2 that would get my vote, though neither impress me all that much, the last thing the world needs is Bush V2.0

B: This bailout may be a necassary action on the part of the US government, however to simply hand over the money to these private companies is not IMO a good idea. There should be restrictions, assurances and penalties attached to this proposed blank check.
BTW where is this money coming from? Surely if the government had this money to simply throw at the problem, then there was never really an economic crisis to begin with?
My guess is that the most likely sources for the money would be China or Saudi Arabia, not a great idea for any long term solutions if you ask me.
Seeing as the crisis seems to stem from the price of oil (difficult to believe seeing as the US oil prices are pretty much eclipsed by other countries, Western European in particular), perhaps that money would be better spent on reducing the nations dependence upon it?

Apologies if my information is wrong/inaccurate

I expected a picture of bill gates and a leaderboard to put my initials in

[Im a Cult Hero]

Thanks guys, I’m sure to enjoy it lots and lots
And of course I’ll be taking pics & vids, need a bigger memory card for the camera!

Anyone know the Dresden Dolls? I’m a big fan, the Pianist/Vocalist Amanda Palmer is playing a solo gig here tomorrow which I’m going to, but today she’s meeting up with fans and hanging out with them, can’t get anyone to go with me, and I’m too shy to go on my own *doh*

I second the Slowdive recommendation, they are great

You might like these guys \"The Butterfly Explosion\" they incorporate elements of Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine and Gish era Pumpkins

Oh is Maple Bee (Sister of Katie Jane Garside of Daisy Chainsaw & Queen Adreena) in them?
I have such a huge crush on her

In other news, me and a friend are planning to travel to Chicago to see SP perform in their home town on November 18,19, 21 & 22

I’ve always wondered, if you could choose one of the three stages and freeze the other two: Go for the joy of chasing someone you want or admiring, being with that person, or the memories of those best times when it’s over.

I think I’d take the "being with that person", but just the "honeymoon period", I’m currently in that spot with my gf, we’re only together 7 months, it’s great, but I know it’s not going to last, eventually the first fight is going to come, I’m not sure this relationship will survive it :/

Shameless promotion of my brothers band, but I think they did a great job with the vid, and I genuinely like their music too

I don’t think it’s selling out at all.

I mean, guitar hero has become huge in the music world. Everybody loves it. I expect when Billy was offered that, he didn’t think "Oh cool more money/exposure/etc." but something more along the lines of "Friggin’ sweet!".[/quote:1h9udrg2]

Yeah I’m with you, I’ve never actually played any of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band type games, nor do I have any desire to, but I am a gamer, and the thought of being able to see myself in a game, even one I didn’t like, I wouldn’t think twice, I’d be straight in
I don’t know if Billy plays games at all, but I imagine his reaction would have been more along the lines of "sweet I’m going to be in a game!!" rather than "kerching!!"

[Im a Cult Hero]

I’m pretty sure there will be some kind of regular physical/digital release, but it wont be until after the game is out.

[Im a Cult Hero]

G.L.O.W. is being released with that game first too, but seeing as the game isn’t due until October, I guess the September release date isn’t happening?

It’s pretty much always been a fight between Soma & Crestfallen for me.

[Im a Cult Hero]

was at a festival over the weekend, took a few pics

[Im a Cult Hero]

I’ve never been crazy about Porcelina, I dunno, it just never did much for me.

[Im a Cult Hero]

I think it’s not so much that it’s dark, and more that its darker than the zeitgeist material.

[Im a Cult Hero]

i heard a long time ago, that Billy had worked with her on this second album thats due out any decade now, does anyone know if thats true?

[Im a Cult Hero]

I really like it, if G.L.O.W. is any indication of a new direction their going, I think the dark imagery of the poster really fits well

[Im a Cult Hero]

She’s a former Miss Ireland (I think she was certainly a model at some stage anyway ) and now presents TV shows here.

Woops….this reply was almost a new topic, silly me pressing the wrong button

I thought Manilla might appreciate some more pics in his pics thread
This is Andrea Roche :

I went for a drink to celebrate a friend passing exams the other night in a pretty un-assuming bar, the only people there where us and about 5 men in their 80’s, all of a sudden Pumpkin b-sides were being played on the jukebox by them, it was so random, and the fact they even had b-sides on the jukebox is awesome!!!

Welcome to the board!
