A Few Thoughts (On the Future of the Forum)

[ycartrob]

Wow, seems like I missed something big here.  Who is this John Conway character and what happened between him and Dylan?

care to take a step back into history?

over 2 years ago, even ratsparayer, wellfleet, and tundra were there, and an even younger ggg! with a mention of horko  (glad I was able to stay out of it this time, I think I am learning  ;))

That was a really great letter Dark, thanks.

Well put Aluminum.  I agree with everything said.  Im sure the flow of "newbie-asses" will trail off.  In my opinion, I believe the Jacket will get bigger, but will still keep a very hard core base (most of us!)... Im not comparing music styles or comnmercial use of songs...but I see My Morning Jacket gaining fame along the lines of The Flaming Lips.  A lot of people will know about them existening, but many will not know the entire catalogue.

I've been disgusted with this forum the last few days.  I really was hoping this would be a good vibe kind of time around here, it's just turned into an awful shit storm of bad vibes.  

P.S.

In the sprit of things....

I'm fucking sick to death of some of these pretentious, holier than thou, little shitheads around here.

Yeah...that's what really prompted my post.

Really now. Do you realize that some (most) of you have heard The New My Morning Jacket Album??????????? The one that will break them big across the globe? The one where your evil dancefloor urges will be fufilled? The one that's going to be played on Saturday Night Live?

C'mon. It's an album, and it leaked. Just like all the other ones. The band didn't want it to leak, but they saw it coming. I hope you're enjoying it, those of you who got it. And for the rest of us, June 10 is STILL a red letter date.

I love you all. Whether you're pricks or not. ;)

[EC]

yeah to everything.

hey, i have a question:  what does holler really mean?
i can't use it properly, and i def can't say it b/c i sound like a serious douche.  i kind of thought it meant "hey, call me back" or "write me back", or even just "hi".

[corey]

Well, it's a slang thing.

To "holler" at someone used to mean to yell at them. You know, like "quit hollerin' at me". It's also a Southern thing. At least, I've always thought it was.

In the last few years, it's become something different. You pretty much have it correct. If someone says, "holler at me later", it means to "get in touch", whether it's by phone, email, etc...

[Dorothy_Mantooth]

good question EC.

'Holler' usually means to call or yell. but now, it's mostly used to express excitement. mostly by uncool white people, like myself.

Edit: dernit corey. beat me to the punch. hugz

[EC]

ok, but how do you say it?
b/c, saying holler and pronouncing the r sound (like, i'm from canada) sounds seriously dickfaced.  i feel like you need to be from the south or new york in order to say it and sound cool about it.

i really liked how you used it there, dorothy, that's why i asked about it.

i feel like maybe i just need to start using it and integrating it.  i'll sound douchey for a while, but eventually i'll OWN IT.  HOLLER!!

Exact.

The words, while sounding similar, are actually different. The annunciation and the meaning are as important in their differences as the word ****** is to Nigga.

The Southern word, Holler, meaning shout or yell, sounds like [Haul-errr]
The urban slang, Holla, meaning get in touch, sounds like [Haul-ah]

Often times you will hear people, typically Southern, replace the annunciation of Holla with the annunciation of Holler. This is pretty much for the sake of mockery.
