/count/ - Counter Culture

Hello, and welcome everyone. The basic point of this board is as the subtitle says; come in and drop your opinions here, talk about what interests you, explore what interests other people, and in general, participate in what hopefully will be a community that continually grows, becoming richer and more diverse among its members.

Since the board is still young, I'm going to be its only manager (more staff may be added, with population increase), and keep the rules simple for now. If all goes well, nothing should have to be changed or added in these.

Rules

1. Above all, freedom of speech is important, to this board and to anyone browsing it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and stances, and those differences are the most valuable thing here.

• 1a. Freedom of speech is not freedom to be nasty. Nobody's speech will be censored, but posters are expected to accept responsibility for their behaviour; thus, if anyone feels that they are being attacked and board staff deems the complaint serious, you may be asked to kindly drop the subject. Do keep conversations here civil when possible.

• 1b. A converse to Rule 1a. Ideally, nobody will have issues with each other, but we cannot reasonably prevent everyone from disagreeing. That'd just be stupid. As posters on this board are expected to behave with maturity and intelligence, they are also expected to realise that this is not a hugbox. Board staff will address all posters equally in regards to the rules, and nobody will get any freebies; if a complaint is made without good reason, the reporter may be told to 'get over it', per se.

• 1c. Because total freedom of speech is protected here, any given thread may or may not contain content that would not be considered work-safe, insensitive, disagreeable, pretentious, or plain obnoxious. Browse at your own discretion.

2. Discussion of any and every topic is allowed here; nothing is off limits. No stances on any topic will be censored, as long as a basic environment of respect is kept. Keep topics Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Hasn't been any activity in ages, partially because I've been without internet for a small stint.

Who drawfag here?

General sharethread, guruing and critique is encouraged. Anyone who has lesson references is free to share those as well, to help other anons get into learning a new style or just how to draw altogether.

My apologies for the picture quality, I need to buy a new printer/scanner. Had to capture it with a normal camera, so the focus is all fucked up.

Probably the easiest way to get this board started.

Things to post:

>favourite artists

>artists you find under/overrated

>recent album/merch purchases

>music you've made

>instruments you own

>what you're listening to now

>5x5s if that's your thing

>whatever else you want

Dropping a 5x5 of my last week. No idea how Disturbed got in there, since I haven't been listening to them at all in months, but whatever.

Currently listening to Pink Floyd, and before that was Ra (the metal Ra, not the punk Ra, the EDM Ra, or the rapper Ra). I gotta say, PF is one of the best live presences out there.

Heyo! I'm a huge Modest Mouse fan and I recently picked up a book titled ""A Pretty Good Read"", an unofficial biography of the band throughout their years.

I was enjoying it until page 42 when the author goes into his interpretation of the band's lyrics. I wholeheartedly disagree with him on every point and I feel like he missed the overall idea by a long shot.

That said, I'm thinking about starting a blog where I go from their first album and essay every single song and my interpretation of it.

What do y'all think about this and more generally about other people's interpretations of lyrics?
