I was driving the other day and realized how the road of life can be easily expressed in a metaphor on the highway and sometimes i get pissed. We all have our little traffic jams and road work so, i wrote a song about it. If you want to here it

Your voice, or the voice reminds me of Lennon or Mcartney, and the music sounds very modern.

Good music if that's your thing. Good job! :thumbsup:

Bahhh, that's soundin' goood!

I'm guessing that you on bass from the pictures, but don't sue me. I knew I would like the sound immediatly when I saw "Random Effect: Funk/Psychedelic/Rock".

The vocals have a strong similarity to Elliot Smith's voice, but maybe that's just me. I think that might also have a lot to do with how the music is, b/c he too adds a lot of a psychedelic aspect to his tunes. In either case, those 4 songs were all tight as hell. You guys got anymore songs? Or an album I can purchase?

back to the original topic, what do you guys do when some dumbass cuts you off or rides your bumper? I've gotten much better about it (its not like i used to freak out completely or anything) but it used to get to me soo much. I would feel like ramming the damn car but that would fuck my shit up.

My friend took a baseball bat to someones taillight because they reversed into him... i was laughing my ass off when i watched the tailight shatter but i was also kinda scared for his sanity. anyone have any stories?

Most of the time I let it slide, but if it's some prick who drives like a Formula 1 racer, I just slow down to piss them off more.

As far as cutting me off, if it almost made me crash, I'll prolly just pull up next to them and give them a piece of a my mind.

But for the most part, assholes that are always in a hurry will get their come up-in's soon enough. And probably a lot worse.

Lol, good idea, but pshh, how would we support the bands? I don't mind paying a few bucks for shipping.

Isnt the money going to the shipping people and not the band? If it went to the band I wouldn't have said anything.
Anyways, i'm goin to smoke a bowl.:dance:

And don't ram them.:D

Only EVERY day. Normally, I don't really cuss. Not that I'm against it, just never really finds it's way into my conversation. When I'm on the 101 though, I could make a sailor blush.

I'm not a huge fan of that type of music, though from what I've heard I'd definitely say you had talent. Then again, when has talent ever made anyone famous? Damn Fallout something or other. If it's what you love doing, I bet you could go a long way, though.

I like! :)

As for the road rage, yes, once in a while I get it. Bad. Like graph, I could make a sailor blush with my obscenities. ;)

I get road rage all the time...on my bicycle. Fuckin drivers around here can't fuckin drive for shit. They don't even bother to look for bikes. Hardly a day goes by when some dickwad doesn't almost hit me. If I'm on the sidewalk, people pull right the fuck out in front of me as if I'm not there. If I'm on the road, cars honk at me. And half the time they don't even use a fuckin turn signal, then they act like I'm the idiot for assuming they're going straight. I use hand signals religiously but I don't think any of the dumbfucks in the cars know what they mean.

Luckily on the bike people can hear me swearing at them and see my middle finger more clearly.

My advice for all you car drivers out there, don't forget your turn signals and LOOK AT THE FUCKING SIDEWALK when you're getting on or off the road.
