hey everyone. i was getting my stuff together before heading out today and i thought it would be interesting to examine the things i take with me every day, and to see what other essential (or non-essential) items other people keep in their every day kit. here's a picture of mine: we have here...

hey all. i stumbled upon a new artist that i liked while listening to the radio tonight and i'd like to find more music like hers. i thought it would be a good idea to create a thread in which people post certain artists so that other people can help them find other similar artists that they...

yes, animal collective and all related acts do apply. as do the dirty projectors. these are good places to start, at least for me when i think about experimental pop. i think of ex pop as using instrumentation, technique and song structure not typical of popular music proper while still...

hi all. since it's getting close to halloween, i decided that for my 1k post i'd write down a potentially spooky story that i've been meaning to put down for years. it's the closest i've got to a real ghost story. enjoy! THE GHOST OF FRITZ As some of you may know, in 2007 I spent a few months...

hey smogon. this thread is for the little things in life that make you happy. here are a few of mine: a cup of hazelnut coffee brewed just right and a cigarette in the morning when i'm riding my bike and my mp3 player plays a song that makes me really happy (often inexplicably) and puts me in...

hi all! i recently got a hold of a vintage '89 fender strat (named her sweet dee) and i decided that it would be fitting to learn stevie ray vaughan's pride and joy. i have a bit of a head cold today so while i was staying in i recorded what i'm working on, which i'll post below for those...

i've gotten into the habit of compiling a list of songs that i love as i run into them. i'd love the chance to share this stuff with my online friends just as i do with my real friends! unfortunately the absolute best site for this sort of thing, muxtape, has since been totally redesigned as a...

after maybe months and months of using nothing but foreystall i decided to try to make a relatively offensive team with the central strategy using not one but two! dragons to overwhelm the opponent with outrageous techniques! however the team is shit and though i've tried to fix it myself i...

Updated, changes are in red. I have been using this team for a little while and I really like using it. It has been very effective, I'd say I win about 90% of my matches with this team. The main strategy of this team is use Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock and smart switching to weaken the...

I plan on going a bit farther with a few of these drawings, as they're all just unfinished sketches. I'm going to do Frog Boy proper once I get some decent watercolors, and I'll probably do Media Media on wood in paint. Not the best stuff in Smeargle's by any means, but I like them. frog boy...

I can play three instruments actually, though not as well as I would like. I started playing drums about 6 years ago. I took a few lessons from a Spanish guy at an old church; after a few lessons he was too busy to really teach me anymore so I started teaching myself. I started out as a scrawny...

I consider myself a fairly well-traveled person; thanks to my dad being in the military I got a chance to live in Okinawa, Japan for about four years, and I explored that half of the world while I was there. Living in Japan was an awesome experience. The culture shock when I first arrived was...
