I like their write up...
the men decided that the best way to become filthy rich would be to start a doom metal band, so they quit their jobs.
How Raising Arizona is that? You're young, you got your health, what do you want a job for?

They are generally full of ****. They are 2/3s sober and I would imagine the only truth to that write up was the shots of whiskey and decision to start a band. I actually dig their tunes quite a bit though. Not for everyone I know, but hey... they have a 4ft paper mache bong that smokes for their stage set up so thats kind of cool right?

Work is dead here. It's been storming big time, since Thursday. I made a 2 hour round trip to drop off a couple small boxes and pick up a job site sign this morning, just to kill time. I also forgot my earbuds, so I can't listen to music. Very bleh day overall.

All that Krampus talk a while back reminded me of my favorite Finnish holiday film ever, "Rare Exports". If you can tolerate subtitles and slowish pacing at the start, and you dig some Evil for Xmas, you will love it.

Great movie! The Sint(Saint) is another great foreign Christmas horror flick. Evil St. Nick and his evil Back Pete buddies. On Netflix too.

Any Rocksmith love here? We bought Micah and Xbox 360 so he could play Minecraft, so I thought I might pickup the 2012 version since it has better songs on it then the 2014 version. Trying to force myself to learn some cover songs instead of noddleing away with theory practice, but I hate looking at/reading from band song books.

My wife and I LOVE that movie. We watched it for the first time last year and she immediately declared it a holiday tradition.

I have it for PS3. Haven't booted it up in quite awhile. Was hoping it would have some interactive things that would force me to learn theory but the content wasn't really there. In terms of learning songs and doing fun finger exercise games and scale work though, it has some good stuff. I'd say it's worth the money if it's something you're interested in.

Any of you guys ever deal with old band members resurfacing, who quit music and (usually) sold all their gear, hitting you up to start a new band? It's tempting, because I'm so damned desperate, but I know they have a tendency to check out of bands when they get into a mental funk.

Yeah, I thought Krampus was more from the Bavaria/Austria/Hungary and maybe into Czech and Slovakia area thing. Never heard it associated with Poland. Not that internet comedy skits are the best source for cultural authenticity.

Isn't there a lot of myths about people collecting children for various reasons? It was tough to live back in the days of our ancestors. Now if we don't have wifi, it's rough. Lol. What have we become. I seriously want like a 1,000 sqft micro house in the middle of 100 acres. The interior would look like an ikea display and the exterior would be cabin-esque.
