Dudes Playing Acoustic Guitars at Parties

[Reb]

HoF this thing, it has served its purpose.

[Madrun Badrun]

Are you talking about Queen's park?  Cause there were a shit ton out their last summer.   And it was only ever like one dude per group that could stay up with the rest trying and falling in seconds.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I was talking about Trinity Bellwoods, but it sounds like the same basic experience.

[Supermanisdead]

trinity bellwoods should get turned into a parking lot

[Kara]

I feel like this forum would benefit from having an Ilya Bryzgalov smilie under :hefftobemad. You could even just slap his face on .

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I don't necessarily disagree

[T-Short]

A guitardude wooed the girl I had a huge, all-consuming crush on in highschool and then treated her like shit.

not cool, guitardude

[Eel O'Brian]

Mellow Mushroom opened up a spot in Portland a while back. It didn't last long.

One of those chains that you feel like has the best intentions at heart but when you eat it, is it really better than even...domino's?

Not bad, not good, kinda dry. Pizzas need a certain amount of grease. They do have a decent meatball sub, but IMO it's kind of hard to fuck up a meatball sub

[chronovore]

Done with this forum.

Edit: for a day or so. Maybe for a few hours.

If you know someone is trying to piss you off, why let them? Why give them this degree of control over you?

It’s like a fish KNOWING the tasty food ahead of him is BAIT, and then still being surprised when he ends up in the fisherman’s boat.

[naff]

lame as fuck. i've been witness to exceptions though, i.e. bunch of friends who can really play and perform v drunk pick up an acoustic, start wailing some dancey folk shit and it's cool. i think the bugbear here are the majority playing tired covers, not playing them very well, with no presence, just that desperate douche vibe. gtfo

[Madrun Badrun]

I only voted once, for Nah lol, cause only bottoms vote more than once.

Let this be an exit poll for the matter if you think its only the mods that are against you. 

[Kara]

I voted for the Animal House option but don't care about the actual topic at hand. :allears

[Madrun Badrun]

No but when I image myself in potential social situations that other people tend to have, I image myself as thinking that the guitar playing is obnoxious.

[Madrun Badrun]

I didn't even realize that was an animal house option because I don't read non-spaced words that aren't in camel case or in Latin.  Mods please give my second vote to the animal house option.

[chronovore]

I like that even less than 7% of us would even tolerate it from Mupepe.

i play my clarinet at parties, people love it. they are like OMG yes.

[Dickie Dee]

you do exclusively frequent Woodwind Meet-ups though

[Madrun Badrun]

My guess is he meets up with dudes to blow some flutes as well.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

and they are like OMG yes.

I would take the clarinet and shove it up your ass if I wasn't afraid you'd consider that foreplay....

[Madrun Badrun]

Ya not in a homo way but just establishing dominance.  I know what you mean Am. 

[ToxicAdam]

I pegged you more as an oboe guy. I'm surprised you picked such a mainstream instrument.

[Kara]

Even I played clarinet. Shit is the recorder of the fourth grade.

[recursivelyenumerable]

small % of the people who took it up in 4th grade ever got good at it tho.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

I played the recorder in my band class in 4th grade, I rocked that shit like Kenny G.

[recursivelyenumerable]

not 100% technically true but close enough

i'm not totally clear on the mechanics of how that would work in practice, but the success of the "prospective foreplay defense" is noted. this is shaping up to become another world-class strategic gambit on par with Kissinger/Nixon's "madman theory".

Conversely you could just learn to play froggy went a courtin while you passed gas. Would make you much more interesting than guitar guy.

[recursivelyenumerable]

good point.

This thread is hilariously white.

Truthfact. A guitar is the only thing a thief from the hood won't steal, ain't nobody gonna buy that shit.

Better?

[recursivelyenumerable]

ftr tho i tend to find it pretty tedious but mostly i think because people who do this tend to play bad music and have bad taste.

in theory if they played something good, i would enjoy it.

or actually if they were just hilariously bad at the guitar, i would enjoy that too, but being only sort of bad doesn't cut it.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Go sit on the pointy end of a running jackhammer.

Just for context. AWESOM-O once tried to play Led Zepplin at a party on the speakers instead of the hits you should play at parties, this is the man you're arguing with.

You as well. Though maybe the handle end so the vibrations can shake some of the encrusted shit out of your pants, hand-wiper.

Don't you tempt me with a good time....

I'm so out of step with cultural normativity that people photograph me like a zoo animal; I'm hardly one to judge.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Yesterday when this thread was still kind of funny, I kind of got over it. After the mean-spirited horseshit posted today, I think I really am done here. I don't see a scenario in which I remain a part of this community. Have fun nodding your head to pop-rap hits you've heard a thousand times.

Fuck you all.

Dude it's me on 100 in the political thread and I routinely take home hot baked L's, you just gotta laugh it off bro.

[Steve Contra]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[CatsCatsCats]

Cmon man, if you want to play guitar at parties just come to hippy haven Portland and join one of the jug bands

[Madrun Badrun]

Could you please tell use what you do, so we can do what you do to and be cool like you?

I assume your acrostic guitar playing equivalent will be rapping?

Nah, it would be not wearing headphones while playing French Montana on a train/bus.

Firefox switches words on me and then removes the red squiggles, so I can't be blamed for that.

Acrostic: a poem, word puzzle, or other composition in which certain letters in each line form a word or words.

Guess the therapy isn't working



Also, Hall of Shame this thread, icon Esch, etc

[Am_I_Anonymous]

I hope he comes back :'( it's not that serious lol.

Forum is low on regs nowadays, sad to see another one go

[Positive Touch]

Esch sure is taking it in stride for a dude who almost died today

In elementary school we had to write ones for Mother's Day as make-work and not only did I use mother instead of mom, but I used halcyon for the H.

My teacher took one look at it and said something like, "you WOULD use that word, wouldn't you Karakand?"

And then somebody stole your lunch money and pushed you into a locker I assume. Shitting on the rest of the class like that 

[Eel O'Brian]

Inadvertent or not, it was a strangely fitting word considering the question you were asking!

This is 100% correct. Actually, not Montana. Papoose or some other shitty rapper with zero flow.

[Steve Contra]

Dudes playing shitty rap on one phone with no headphones while talking loudly on a second phone happens more than it should.

[Brehvolution]

Using speakerphone in public

[tiesto]

I really can't answer this because I'm that asshole that brings his DJ equipment to house parties and plays a bunch of deep/tech/disco house that nobody has any clue about for long-ass Danny-Tenaglia-set-length periods of time. And then a while later when I'm drunk and/or high my friend takes over and plays NES and Genesis chiptunes for a while.

One time some black chick flashed her boobs and 2 girls made out while I was playing. That was interesting.

Usually when you're djing though, the hosts have asked you to, right? Also, setting up a rig to dj with is a time consuming process; I'm sure you could be stopped by the hosts if they didn't want you to. Douchecoustic jam sessions happen way quicker and with no warning.

Yup, the party hosts will ask me or if I find out they're having a party I'll ask them if they need a DJ.

Thankfully I've only ever gotten one complaint... some old (like 60 year old) dude kept on asking for me to turn it lower so he can hit on girls half his age in the next room in peace

Including my girlfriend.

But where else will you have people talking about clarinets being shoved up hipster anus?
You can't just get that anywhere else you know.

true detective was actually just a long form allegory for puddles' posting habits.
