Camel Lights

NewWaveRoland @NewWaveRoland (21) • United States 23 Apr 08

Recently I have come to the conclusion that no one really cares for Camel Lights anymore. Everyone is always "Marlboro Lights" this and that. I'm a Camel guy, and I'm going to stay that way.

NewWaveRoland I make music for a living. My daily routine is wake up, jump on the laptop and then start working on tracks (I'm affiliated with electronic based music). The hardest part about the music industry is getting on a label that will support you financially and...

NewWaveRoland Hollywood is a twisted, sinister, strange, beautiful, & pyschedelic place all combined. I used to DJ around LA bit, and fortunately I got to see how plastic and fake everyone in Hollywood really is. Most are huge plastic surgery & cokeheads. Not nice junkies...

NewWaveRoland No, I don't support the Olympics this year, for a number of reasons. For one, I don't support communism. Another reason is China's violations of human rights practices. With all the protests & the whole deal with Tibet, the Olympics have become more of...

Isolation

NewWaveRoland @NewWaveRoland (21) • United States 23 Apr 08

Isolation was always something I envied. I remember seeing certain musicians I know who would hole themselves up and get so much work done, and I was jealous of the fact that they were more focused on increasing their workload and...

Have you ever been addicted to a drug?

koikoikoi @koikoikoi (1246) • United States 19 Apr 08

What drug have you been addicted to? Are you still addicted to it? How did it effect your life? Did it effect your social skills? Why did you stop? How did you stop? Or why haven't you stopped? I watch a show called Intervention...

NewWaveRoland Yes, and at the moment I just came down from a 5 day coke/speed binge. For a year I took a mixture of klonopin and adderall everyday, while smoking massive amounts of weed at the same time (I have absolutely nothing against the herb though). I ended up having...

The drugs have taken their toll

NewWaveRoland @NewWaveRoland (21) • United States 18 Apr 08

A couple months ago, my dreams came true. I could now support myself financially making music. It's great waking up, turning on your laptop, and working on tunes till 3 am. Working with complex programs and being able to...

Why are you hanging out with just boys?

jenni7202 @jenni7202 (1598) • United States 17 Apr 08

My sister likes to hang out with her friends, yeah that's okay, right? Well, we have a bit of a problem with her hanging out with JUST boys. It's okay if she's hanging out with a girlfriend, and maybe a boy or two, but just boys...

NewWaveRoland I know lots of girls that just hang out with guys. During the teenage years, girls can be really mean (sort of like the movie Mean Girls, it explains it perfectly). Don't listen to my input though, the only person I would trust asking this question would be a...

Beagles

JudeRaphael @JudeRaphael (6) 10 Mar 08

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here owns (or has previously owned) a Beagle. My dog (a labrador retreiver) had to be put down recently because he had cancer and I was thinking that a Beagle would be a good idea. I know they're...

Cocaine

killahclaire @killahclaire (3665) 26 Mar 08

Cocaine always seems to be in the media and celebrities always seem to get caught taking it but what I want to know is what others peoples views are of it. Do you see cocaine in the same light that you see heroin and other such...

NewWaveRoland Here's the deal about cocaine: It's not as horrible as some make it to be. But if you do it everyday, just like any other potent stimulant, you are going to get strung out. Cocaine is natural. It's derived from the cocoa plant. The euphoria achived by...

Would you rather watch a sunrise or a sunset?

gemini_rose @gemini_rose (16264) 7 Apr 08

I think that although they are both lovely to watch, a sunset is so beautiful the colours of the sky and how it changes is just stunning. When it is summer and warm, there is nothing better than sitting outside and watching the...

NewWaveRoland I prefer the sunset. It's difficult for some people to wake up in the morning, so for those certain few we get to watch the sunset. The sunset is the sign of night coming, during the night the world quites down and especially out here in the midwestern United...

Is Depression Contagious?

NewWaveRoland @NewWaveRoland (21) • United States 8 Apr 08

Lately one of my best friends has been down in the dumps. He's been having nervous breakdowns and is really depressed. I like hanging out with him and helping him out, yet his consistent negativity and depressing nature seems to...

Sometimes you just don't want to be nice.

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 7 Apr 08

In life, we all want to be nice to one another, be supportive, be good parents, friends and neighbors, but sometimes, don't you just want to be yourself and say what you really think? Wouldn't it feel good just to once in awhile,...

Does being older necessarily mean you're wiser or smarter?

lisan23 @lisan23 (442) • United States 7 Apr 08

I'm slightly annoyed by the presumption of some people from the older generation. I'm in my 20's, and it seems that because I'm younger people automatically assume things about me. I must be inexperienced when it comes to life,...

NewWaveRoland Being older does have somewhat of an advantage for being smarter considering you have more time to learn and and condition your brain if you are older. Although if you are older and never picked up any books, then you really aren't any more streetsmart or...

NewWaveRoland My favorite labels I go to for electronic music nowdays (I prefer to call it that, there are too many subgenres nowdays) are Rephlex, Planet-Mu, and Kompakt. Rephlex is owned by Richard James aka Aphex Twin and a lot of the artists on the label are releasing...

Aphex Twin: Original MyLot forum

serjhonny @serjhonny (350) • Italy 1 Dec 06

Electronic music pioneer Richard D James is one of the most revered and influential figures to emerge from the scene, as well as one of the most wilfully odd. Type here your impressions about this great and innovative artist!

NewWaveRoland Aphex Twin is the most important figure in electronic based music. Everything he has put out seems to rival everything else in electronic music by production, beats, equipment (he has an entire collection of vintage and circuit bent synths!). What really made...

What are your candid opinions about the three presidential candidate?

maria_k @maria_k (925) • United States 7 Apr 08

NewWaveRoland --You make some interesting points about the three candidates. I will have to disagree with you on McCain though. McCain wants the American troops to remain in Iraq and continue the ongoing war. It's logical that if the American troops remain in Iraq and...
