Personally I think it was a mistake to change the initial name. "A Cocktail Part Swordplay" is an awesome title for the record. It rolls off the tounge smooth like silk and leaves you dazed and confused like a drunken prom queen when she wakes up the next morning in a seedy motel room with some guy named Dutch. "Alphabet Alphabets"....well...It takes me back to a time when school consisted of making pictures made of macaroni and taking periodic naps.
But hey, who knows. We wont know if the title change makes a difference until we actually hear it right ?

I agree with you that "Cocktail Party Swordplay" is a neat title. However, Having a crafty title such as that may hinder the effectiveness of the album's themes. While it's cool sounding, nifty might not be the thing they wanted to achieve with this endeavor. And I do like the whole "A" thing. I'm sure there's some grander theme that is yet to be revealed. I stick by my scars and their choices.

When dealing with genius, in this case, musical genuis, one of two things tend to occur when dealing with the prodginy. He/she will either meld their work and knowledge together and formulate every aspect of their work into a stunning array of thoughts,theories, and images....or they sit there and make up a bunch of random and confusing crap that will just weird people out and make them conclude that they simply lack the intellectual grapes to understand what the hell the "genius" is talking about. Random jargon is mistaken for genius and art more often than people realize. I.E. that crap you see on Adult Swim that is just considered so funny to people...(not that some of it isn't but yeah...) However with TS I've enough faith in them to trust that the new chosen title will trully be synonomous with the theme of the record itself. I've just been sitting here "trying" to anticipate nothing with the hope of totally being blown away with new material.
you'll be blown in more ways than one my man. i just hope youve got what it takes to handle the new ish, cause its off the chain...i think? just wait til the beat drops...word.
p.s. im wondering if the worse-than-normal odor of my SHIT has anything to do with its synonymous black color? uck.
hehe funny you should mention bowel movements and bodily emissions patsoft or rockhard or whatever your unwitty online name is... cause now that I think of it, the abnormal burning in my penis just might have something to do with the unusually white color of my PISS.
so honeybunch, i suppose it just tickles you pink that someone of a less than albino disposition likes trophy scars... hmm just adorable.
what oggles my mind is your ghetto thug way of getting your point across... all this talk about **** and black and chains and dishes and ishes i might just be fooled into thinking your female prod is bigger than my chapstick.. almost a "nigga", but never will be one. sorry.
actually, if you keep working at your ebonics and horrible humor you might just make the cut. but i should warn you, your new life as a "brotha" will be a difficult one. you won't be able to like rock music anymore, you won't be able to look at any girl who doesn't have earrings down to her elbows and you BETTER wear fubu, lest you get pinned as a traitor and blasphemer (look it up... us plantation folk don't have vast vocabulary). now if you're willing to give up all those rights... be my guest and come join the darker side of the grass.
ahh one more thing... drop out of high school, flip the bird to college and take trophy scars out of your life. black people don't have any education and they hate rock music.
so i suggest you get your intolerant ass real close to your computer screen and read this... if you think that you have any more of a right to like trophy scars or like rock music and use 5th grade vocabulary words like "synonomous" because you happen to look like every baseball player i've ever met, then i'm probably wasting good finger musclage replying to a statement you might or might not have known the implications of. but oh well, lol so here we go:
i could sit here and get pissed off because frankly the sarcasm isn't cute and it's easily caught. i realize with your indie bed buddies cracking jokes at another culture is the side-splitter of the day and i'm sure there's a group of rappers sitting somewhere speaking of how all you tight jean wearing, hair over the left eye fag boys do nothing but cry in the dark, smack each other on the asses and pretend to be profound, emotional and humorously eloquent... but hey acceptance goes both ways eh?
so tonight as you're being dry humped in the cornhole by your pal jimmy, or chad or brent or duke or whatever flagstaff butch name he posseses think about this: there are people who break the mold. asians who aren't good at math, mexicans who aren't good at manual labor, white people who are accepting of all people, blacks who like rock music and are educated. the sooner you realize that the sooner you'll come to terms with what a moronic low-life you really are. you'll look back at your viewpoint and your pathetic self in a mirror and cringe... ehh i give you too much credit, you won't ever come to an amalgamate like that. no, you'll live on believing the theories of the white cultural paradigm (again look it up) and you will look down upon those who don't snuggly fit into your skewed and narrow view of reality. you, "my man," are an imbecile of the highest caliber, a retard in an intellectuals clothing, a stinking racist who perfumes himself with culture but ya know... no matter how much you spray deodorant on feces, it's still feces. which leads me full circle to my initial point and yours...
the stink in your **** might not be cause it's so black, my take on it is much like my view of the political system. we all want to complain about politicians and how awful they are but look at the voters, the ignorant mass elects the ignorant leader just so he can lead them into oblivion, it's much like your situation: the **** you omit spawns from the human being you are. you are undoubtedly an atrocious excuse for a human being with a heart of black and a mind of excrement, you speak like **** and think like ****, so if the entire essence of your being is a huge steaming pile of **** with absence of all light and knowledge, what else do you expect in the toilet pat? before you flush take a look... it's you... draining in circles into a sea of the same ****, a boundless space where you are with your kind... kinda remind of your fun filled saturday nights?
representin' with much love and peace from yo main nigga, drew

DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! DREW! (standing ovation and chant for drew).
Unbelievably great response. Very nice. I have a very deep respect for you based on that. How old are you? (I want to know because your linguistic ability is suberb)

I third that notion, but you seem cool Drew... just don't get more popular than me. I can't handle that. Pay attention to me! (Sometimes it's hard to tell when I'm sarcastic, so I'll leave that up to you to decide my intent)
Oh yeah and I'm asian... but I am good at math... and I love science and technology... and I am flexible... and tiny... and I have a crazy hair cut and change the color all the time... It's who I am though, without trying. There is a guy who is on the board of my Asian American Alliance and he happens to be African-american (and he dates a white) woman. We're like to spread a positive image about Asians and help bring down steriotypes.
One more thing that sucks... gender roles. Feminists need to stop complaining about females who like to do things that are traditionally our role, that just creates a bigger schism. I like high heels and power tools... I'm just good at everything.

I totally advocate the practice of being who you are. And thats why it gripes me when lower life forms like our fecal matter based friend here try to criticize that. I make it my freakin MISSION to show the ignorant and intolerant just how little they really matter to the world. Hopefully with a enough pushing in the right direction they'll all do us a favor and just kill themselves. Whateve. Focusing on those who don't matter is a waste of time.
Late,
Andrew
PS
All the attention you desire from me is at your disposal Miss Mae, so go nuts.

what did this kid do to make you so angry? or are you just an angry person that takes offence easily
i really didnt want to read that essay he typed some one should just summarize it for me
The one kid said that there was a corelation between the colour of SHIT and african-americans. Drew wrote a well written rebuttal to that statement. Pretty much, he said that there are white men that can jump, black people that aren't thugs, etc. etc. etc. It was about transcending the constraints of steriotypes. Then he brilliantly brought it back around to reason the guy's SHIT smells is because he reeks of SHIT, and that he is nothing but SHIT. -I agree because his comment was quite ignorant.

Dude you got it all wrong. Theres no hostility intended in any of my posts. If thats how it comes off I apologize. But its like I said, I'm intolerant of the intolerant. And I dont take too kindly to ignorance.
You should see me. I'm laughing, honest. The color of my SHIT was merely a result of me consuming a lot of beer, hence the black color - beer SHITS. It flatters me, however, that you would write so much in response to that. I'm not going to type as much as I'd like to because I do have to get back to my like-minded, lower-level, bottom feeding "friends" that I do frequently receive "cornhole" punishing.
The fact of the matter is, seeing how much time and effort you have put into your moderatly hostile posts makes me wonder if you really do much more than hit refresh on the message board, anxiously awaiting a reply. You took shots at my name, thats just rediculous. You took shots at my style, that you are completely unaware of. You took shots at my education level, that you are utterly uninformed about. You somehow turned my absolutely harmless comment, into some psuedo-racist/culture bashing thesis. I know you're reading this wondering, maybe already formulating some sort of rebuttle, that's fine. I dont want a response to this, but I know I'll get one anyway. I'm not out for anyones attention, props, kudos, etc...as much as you think I am. But when it all comes down, you've never met me, talked to me, or even seen me. We are all here on the common ground of a terrific group of guys that make wonderful music: Trophy Scars. So by all means, try and put me down for the way I talk/dress. You're extended and thought out belittling shows nothing more to me than a well of insecurity and judgemental behavior. You seem to hate the feeling of being vulnerable, accusing and harassing me of being some 'other race' hater. Shame on you. I am inferior. You are all-powerful and all-knowing. How dare I speak in your presence. Forgive me, for I have the literacy level of a 5th grader.
...and fall for life, I don't know you personally, just like no one on this message board does most likely, but you seem like a good guy. I'm glad you can see that there IS POSSIBLY one more side to this whole mess. I respect you for that.
I despise hostility and animosity. I am relieved with the realization of the misinterpertation of your comment and equally respect those who can see the multiple and not just negative and badgering sides of a conflict or situation in general.
