my hometown sux-a cry for help

evollove · 12.05.2006, 06:10 AM

Canton, OH. Home of the Football Hall of Fame. Not ONE indie record store. I can entertain myself fairly well, but sometimes being here is a fucking drag. Is there anyone here who lives in Canton? That would be great. Holy shit, I feel alienated, and not in some hip way, either. Just KNOWING another SY fan lives here would make me sleep a lot sounder.

Pathetic post, you say? No fucking shit. See what I've been reduced to?

Better, than Gary, OH.

get over it. Every town sucks regardless of if there are indie music in it. You're always going to find something that bothers you about every place you live the rest of your life.

ALIEN ANAL · 12.05.2006, 11:50 AM

ploesj · 12.05.2006, 11:52 AM

my town is full of rich people or people pretending to be rich.. all they care about is looking good and having everything the magazines tell them to buy.. i'm happy to move to the city next year!

I went to Antwerpen in february to visit my uncle, he has an amazing apartment there that looks out over this huge cathederal. Being in a band pays pretty well.

i haven't heard of them but if he lives from his music, he must be pretty well-paid

or does he also teach? thats what a lot of musicians do (including my mother)

thats pretty impressive.. most belgians try to play as much as possible during the summer (festival season) and that helps them through the rest of the year.
