    Great news.

    Not dead, but different. As long as there are fans and as long as VK bands keep making music, it can't be dead. As more people turn their heads away from VK, more people become fans of the current scene. I don't like some of the general aspects of today's VK, and I generally prefer bands from before 2010 (as you mentioned in the OP) as well. May it be the ultra cliche random screechy noises, muddied growls, or autotune use, and electronic influence, it's nothing more than another change VK is going through since the 90's.

    Gotta bump this thread for now and finally add a recipe of my own. Not exactly a meal, but rather a snack.. because everyone loves cookies, right? These sugar cookies are sweet, soft, and flavorful. I like to either frost them with royal icing and decorate them, or just top with decorative sugar / sprinkles etc and bake. I drop these cookies by eye so I don't have a set time yet, although I can come up with one for tablespoon measurements if anyone thinks it's truly necessary. I usually just check after 8-10 minutes in the oven and if they're done I can easily tell if the dough has cooked, and I don't let them brown around the edges anymore than a slight gold tint. Yasupon's Drop Sugar Cookies Might snap a picture of them later, right now there is none... Ingredients: 2 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour 1 tsp Baking Powder 1/4 tsp Baking Soda 1/4 tsp Salt 1/2 Cup Soft Butter (One U.S Stick) 1/2 Cup Shortening (I use Butter Flavored Crisco) 1 Egg 2 tsp Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract 1 3/4 Cups Domino's Sugar (Or Ordinary Cane Sugar) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and Salt in a large bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the Butter, Shortening, and Sugar: cream until well combined (about a minute should be sufficient). Beat in the egg and cream on medium or medium-high speed until the mixture starts to turn a light yellow. Beat in the Vanilla, and then add in the flour mixture, little by little, and beat in until well combined. Drop cookies to the size of your liking onto ungreased cookie / baking sheets. Make sure to spread them apart at least an inch and a half away from each other. Typical time will take around 8-10 minutes on a well heated oven, but varies depending on the size of your cookies and how long the oven has been preheating. I like to make these dropping large pinchfuls of dough that I flatten in the pan, (about the size of the circle if you make your middle finger and thumb touch nails) in which it takes about 10 or so minutes to finish. Before baking you can add in toppings, such as sugar, or decorative sugar (the decorative sugar will not burn), or you can create a royal icing for these cookies, which is more fun, but more work.. Royal Icing uses pasteurized egg whites, or you can use spray dried egg whites instead. If you're worried about salmonella even using pasteurized eggs, egg white powder is already cooked, and does the job just as well. Here's a basic recipe for royal icing: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/royal-icing-iii/ If you're worried about the raw egg, you can replace the pasteurized egg whites with 1 tablespoon and one teaspoon of dried egg whites, and some water until frosting is pipable, which means not too thick but not too thin. You can skip the cream of tartar.

    I browsed through this a while back, but didn't say anything. I thought it was a pretty interesting read.
  7. Yasupon

    This is the best thing ever, any progression?
  8. Yasupon

    Nice bands list, also do you have a last.fm? By the way your English is fine.
  9. Yasupon

    We have a few things in common OmegaChaos welcome back.
  10. Yasupon

    What are your favorite bands? Btw sai is right about CAT.
  11. Yasupon

    That's my favorite photo of you, green. Really cute.

    ^ Agreed.

    I voted for Zombies yesterday, but I just think they're seriously badass so yeah.
  16. This was very good, very nice ballad cover. Beautiful. I loved the parts where you could hear two of your voice at the same time, it sounded so beautiful. Also I am curious if you're in any bands?

    eeee I hear'bout this page for the first time, how does it work? ^^ It's hard to explain but it's a website where you can comment on bands combined with a program that 'scrobbles' the music you listen to onto your page on the site. It allows you to see your charts and interact with people who have the same or similar taste you do, etc.
  18. Yasupon

    Most of us here use last.fm, so it's common that we ask new members so we can add them there.
  19. Yasupon

    Nice to meet you, and nice taste. You're a bassist? That's sweet! Also, seconding sai. If you want to make friends from other countries the minichat would be a good place, since most of us there are from different countries. Do you have a last.fm btw?
  20. For Christmas I got the Hifimans, and the o2 + odac combo.. the sound quality is so outstanding and I love listening to music on them.

    Hi

    What are your favorite bands, and do you have a last.fm?
  22. Yasupon

    Rodents Mice, Rats, Hamsters, Gerbils, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas, etc. I know it may be uncommon but I just think they're really cute, and also easy to take care of, so they're my favorites.
