Quote from: robhr on Jan 28, 2023, 07:59 AMHi. Thank you.

Yeah I haven't posted a whole lot at Music Banter.

And great, I will then.

I live in the frozen hellscape of Winnipeg, Canada.

Ah, okay :) Norway here. When I signed up on MB about 15 years ago, I was living in Longyearbyen on Svalbard. It's another frozen hellscape. Now I'm about as far south in the country as I can get.

Neat, I'd love to travel all over Scandinavia. A lot of my favourite music comes out of there.

Cool, I'd like to see Canada. There were a few students from Canada on Svalbard so I know a few canadians.

I take it you're a metal fan then? I'd guess our biggest musical export is black metal :) or used to be, at least.

I dabble in many genres, but I mostly prefer the more ethereal stuff from that region. But I've been getting into the black metal. I like all the "post-metal" stuff though it technically isn't a genre.


Hey everyone, it's jadis

Nice to see you here Rob!

To everyone else, don't fall for his "Winnipeg is a frozen shithole" spiel, it's actually pretty great in some ways imho though it does get a bit rough in the winter. The cultural scene is rich and fascinating. Guy Maddin alone is as compelling a justification as you could get for any city's existence and there's so much else besides.

Good to see you too.

And I love Winnipeg, just some tough love.

the highest praise i've ever heard


Thanks man

I always say that the weirder one's perceptions of you are, the more interesting. As far as I can gather MB user Occult Hawk is a vastly different personality from me but hey maybe I'll learn something new about myself

I can't say it was an entirely rational theory but sometimes I just go with my gut


Now do you want to try to explain to me what you liked about that Steve Harvey clip? Our little exchange got interrupted.


I just find the general idea of Steve Harvey funny so every hacky and r-worded bit he does is amusing. I think cumtown gave me the Steve Harvey bug


Stanhope is the man though 



Practitioner of Soviet Foucauldian Catholicism

Cumtown making fun of Steve Harvey is funny yeah. As a target for comedy he's pretty funny.  And I'm not the most familiar with his stand up so I am not about to just write him off as a comedian completely.  But what I have seen has been underwhelming.i feel like either him or DL were the weakest set on the kings of comedy and the only reason I can't rank them specifically is cause neither of them were memorable.  The order for best comedians on the kings of comedy goes:

1) Bernie Mac
2) Cedric
3) who cares?

I originally left MB because I thought it was toxic because of the likes of you, OH. In fact I remember you said something of the effect I didn't belong there. Funny how the shoe is suddenly on the other foot.


PS- You forgot jwb.
just saw this when I was searching through this thread to see if it says who jimmy jazz is on MB lol.  Why you bringing my name up here?
