Music / Mixtapes
« on: June 21, 2013, 01:59:41 pm »
Mixtapes is the only band that is close to being as good as Strike Anywhere (The Wild is another) and Mixtapes has a new music video, it's on MTVu of all places which is weird, and honestly this video isn't half as good as some of their others (The New Ride The Lightning, Anyways, and Taking a year off come to mind) but it's still pretty great, also it is one of my favorite songs so that is good too.

Watch it now.

[I can't embed this video in the forum, sorry!]

This sounds kind of stupid but I finally got around to fixing all the topics in General Discussion so that they list their original creation date and person instead of me. Sure, it has been wrong ever since August 14, 2011 when I upgraded the forum and corrupted the database but better late than never right!. Honestly, I just got really nostalgic for the old days and wanted to go read some of the old topics and had to fix them first. If anyone wants to post in the again and bring them back to life, that would be great!

Website News / Thoughts on Radio Shows
« on: May 07, 2013, 10:40:43 am »
Last night I had the first radio show since December, I think, and people came and music was heard and it was really great. If that many people would come to the next one I would start having them on a regular basis again. the best part was that it was people who have never even been to one before, but that is not to say that my internet friends shouldn't come, you should too. everyone should come because that is when the shows are the most fun, when lots of people come and there is lots of great talk about lots of stuff and the music is just shared background noise. Also, if this happens again soon, YOU NEED TO REQUEST MUSIC, I HAVE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT MAKING PLAYLISTS but I really want to start having these again, back in 2009-2011 when they were in their height and before I started going to shows these were the funnest thing and I met some of my best internet friends all because of a dumb chatroom with a music player attached.
on an unrelated note, I HAVE A TICKET TO FEST SO I WILL SEE YOU ALL IN FLORIDA!!!

Website News
Goodbye, everyone!

After four long years, I have finally decided to pull the plug on my website. I had a good run, but I need to face facts that nobody posts here anymore, I don't even post here anymore. If you want to keep up with me go to my facebook page at facebook.com/FloydAtha or my tumblr at floydatha.tumblr.com. I am going to join twitter next week, Social Networking is amazing! I will leave this message up for another week, after that, the server will be turned off and all the hard drives will be erased. Thank you for four great years.

That is all, Hailing frequencies closed
-Floyd

That is what the front page says right now. If you are reading this now, don't worry, this website will never die.

from facebook...

Next week we will be announcing 2 US East Coast shows that are happening in June!!! One headlining show... and one show opening for a band that has been influential and inspirational to us for decades! Any guesses???
later...

Not Rancid. Not Black Flag. One city was guess correctly
That is also good, two terrible bands that are definitely not playing, the cities that people guessed were New York City, Norfolk (probably west Virginia) and Richmond Virginia. I will go if it is RVA, who knows maybe it will be somewhere even closer. I am fucking stoked about this and I hope I won't be disappointed.

UPDATE:

I won't say who it is... but another hint... this band is not from the US.
so, the other band is some band that I don't care about. Well, at least Strike Anywhere is on the east coat
Also, I am just going to say this, but those facebook updates read like they were written by someone who does not speak english as their native language, but who knows it just reads kind of awkwardly.

Floyd's Random Thoughts / Monthy post to keep this place on life-support
« on: February 26, 2013, 11:49:33 am »
So yeah, tumblr killed my website. Tumblr Integration makes it look active but it's still pretty dead. Last month one person posted in the forum asking about Program Manager and that seems to be the main draw of my website now, it's the only place on the internet with those instructions. That is fine and great, but that isn't really what I wanted this website to be about. In other news, I AM GOING TO STAY SWEET FEST, THE UPDATED STAY SWEET FEST COUNTDOWN CLOCK IS HERE. That is all.

Website News / Tumblr Integration Complete (at least, partially)
« on: January 22, 2013, 06:33:18 pm »
It took working on it all day, but I think I finally have this tumblr thing integrated with my website so that the first post from here will show up there. Actually, that was the easy part the hard part was getting the LCARS surround for it to work correctly, and then I accidentally deleted half of the style.css file and could not get it back and had no backup so I just had to rebuild it all from memory and an outdated version and it is still not all back, but it is functional. I must admit, though, it looks pretty great.

I am making a topic here and anyone can post in it, this is until Matt can fix his website. You need to fix it soon, Matt, we all know my website probably can't keep up with your traffic.

Floyd's Random Thoughts / Have I mentioned this yet?
« on: November 28, 2012, 11:03:12 am »

(click for bigger, click here for Facebook event)
This is a show happening tomorrow. Also tomorrow is my birthday. On the off chance you are reading this and live in Atlanta and are not a person I already know outside of the internet then you should come to it. This is the first time I have had real plans on my birthday in years so it is probably going to be really awkward for me You should come, it should be great.

Website News / Website's Anniversary and tons of spam
« on: November 16, 2012, 06:16:01 pm »
Last week (November 11) was the website's anniversary but I forgot to post about it. I deleted 21 spam accounts this morning. I changed the security questions and added one and did some more stuff, I don't think spam will be a problem again, at least not for a while.

Floyd's Random Thoughts / I guess this place is finally dead
« on: November 03, 2012, 11:03:33 pm »
I Joined Facebook, I joined tumblr, I stopped posting here for two months, I came back to let you know I am still alive, I WENT TO FEST AND IT WAS AMAZING. That is pretty much my life since the last time I posted here. I really hate to say that facebook and tumblr have made my life better. A lot of stuff has changed since I started this website, I have friends now, that was not true when this website was started. My friends are all amazing people and they apparently don't want to join here so I had to go to where they were. Facebook killed the internet message board and I think that is just terrible.

In other news, I did make a "Compatibility Mode" version of the website since the last time I posted here. For a website that has zero posts and averages less than 200 page views a month (I Just checked, that is true! average 5 a day!) this website is in constant development. Over the years, this has become my blog and also a testing ground for me to teach myself how to make a really great website. I know virtually nobody will ever see it, but it's far to cheap and easy to keep this server and website running for me to shut it down now.

Wow, I really kind of rant don't I? Well for compatibility mode, click here. for my facebook which I am on almost constantly, click here for my tumblr which I am also on constantly, click here.

Sorry for the huge block of text, I know you don't want to read that.

Until next month, this has been Floyd, signing off.

Floyd's Random Thoughts / I have been assimilated, resistance was futile
« on: September 13, 2012, 11:02:28 pm »
I joined tumblr. This website will live forever though, mainly because I like having an easy way to upload files to the internet and stuff.

Website News / Why didn't anyone tell me the website was offline?
« on: September 07, 2012, 01:08:00 pm »
I used this place to host a few sort of important files over the last few weeks and now I feel stupid because to everyone else I have just been posting dead links. What happened was I upgraded the hard drive on August 25 and switched the port forwarding on my router to go to the backup server. When I got done with the upgrade I turned the backup server off but forgot to put the router back to normal.

I am a fucking idiot. BUT THE SERVER HAS A 127GB HARD DRIVE NOW!

Anyway, that's all, bye see you all again next month!

Strike Anywhere News and Discussion / New Music!?
« on: July 17, 2012, 06:12:50 pm »
Not really, but sort of, IT'S AN ACOUSTIC RECORD OF OLD SONGS! I am really stoked about this, because not only is it the first "new" Strike Anywhere in three years, it is acoustic, which should be great!
Plus it matches this website:
   
It also comes on white vinyl or with a shirt and poster "on the rarest variant of vinyl available at the time of purchase". If you are boring you can buy it on digital download or on a CD.
