Some diseased tetas, but no healthy tetas :/
Im seraching of all the different names that this leak could come, not like "LIGHTNING BOLD 2013 [ALBUM LEAK 236@] or shit like this, but some more "suspicious" name, like the on I found today that was simply "Lightning Bolt by Pearl Jam", or a video poste today sending a download link with Mind Your Manners playing... still, no tetas.

Looking that hard for a leak is probably a waste of time. It will be up on a big torrent site very soon after it leaks. Everything you find now is a fake anyway.

I would hope that any TV documentary will focus on my achievements in this life, and not manipulate viewers into prematurely mourning me, while I'm still alive and have plans for further achievements as a disabled person.


It wasn't about Steve Gleason's achievements, though they did show his biggest moment in the NFL and his contributions towards healing a city after a natural disaster (but who's counting). It was about the fact that a young, healthy man is dying rapidly and this band has helped him cope and given him inspiration to leave a legacy for his child.

Regardless of your personal condition, this piece has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Stop being a contrarian grump.
Jesus Christ, man. Sorry for offending you with my opinion. But this... the bolded bit... is a very common disability narrative. It's great for ratings. If you care for how disabled people are often portrayed by the media, look up the term "inspiration porn".


He's more than disabled, he's dying. You don't know my life and it would be presumptious of you to think that somehow YOU have a better understanding of him than I would.

But hey, you're right, we're all idiots for finding this piece touching, and only you can see through the bullshit. Bravo, enjoy the misery.
I didn't say you weren't allowed to enjoy the piece. But I asked what the tone was like because I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it. Judging by the way you've reacted to my concerns, I think I'll leave this particular interview. But I'm really interested in this Gleason guy, he seems like a great, articulate guy.

Based on your comments towards his interview, I doubt he'd say the same for you. :nice:

It's going to be tough. 2013 has been a musical monster year.
I'm sure I'll forget some, but here's a quick stab at my faves so far:

The Strokes
QOTSA
Arctic Monkeys
NIN
Jack Johnson
GRMLN
Josh Ritter
KOL
Elvis Costello & The Roots
