Good choice sir. I promise not to swear from henceforth whilst on the medium of the internet and will wholeheartedly aim to tone down my language as of this moment. I will take from your example and replace (albeit in a somewhat more creative manner) words that your readers would deem inappropriate... For example, the dialogue taken from the scene of a minor car crash would normally read as such... "F*** you, you m*t**r**ck**, you shunted (do not be confused, "shunt" is not a profanity) the tail end of my c**ting Vauxhall Astra!" With this new form of censorship in place the sentence would now read... ""Fondle" you, you "manatee-fondler", you shunted the tail end of my "coin-enthusiast" Vauxhall Astra!" I look forward to shouting these newfound profanities at unsuspecting passers by on the streets of London provided I don't get sectioned under the mental health act. - The Gusset Of Kenny Rogers' Underpants...

Can I smoke my fag now? - J. Alfred Proofrock Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:48:34 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7172 I'm quite happy for these kids, regardless of anything. The Givers are grinding like other bands dream of, and no one should begrudge others good breaks. Lafayette's ~underground~ scene has at times been awash in hateraide, especially when a band starts to make big moves. Just keep on truckin'-maximize your opportunity, work really freaking hard and may your success manifest. Just don't ever, ever refer to yourselves as a 'supergroup' again. It's a pond, not an ocean. - Fruitarian Meritocracy Mon, 19 Apr 2010 19:59:48 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7170 Mr. Gusset, I took the liberty of converting the rating on your comment from R to PG-13. Typically an F-bomb would merit immediate deletion, but the temperature of your passion was too high for that. Besides, we rarely get comments so laden with British colloquialisms. - Walter Pierce, Managing Editor Mon, 19 Apr 2010 17:26:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7169 What a fucking top band Givers are. Absolutely corking band. Go and see them live, they'll blow your socks off, make your nasal hairs stand on end and make each and every synapse present in your body explode with uncontrollable delight. Sod all the haters, people are always jealous of success. The proof is very much in the pudding, people love their shows, love going to see them and like a Guatemalan hooker almost always come back for more. Inevitably in these situations there are those that are left behind, ex bandmates, bands etc. But much like peeing the bed, the fact that they are resigned to past is in no way a bad thing, far from it, it is a positive boon. Change that is vindicated, be it sonically or in terms of popularity is a good thing. Inspiration is the life blood of a musician. It allows the maestro to produce to his/her maximum potential. These five are clearly inspired by one another (just watch them play) and as a result have conceived of a band that is as life affirming as a de-fribulator, as tuneful as Tony Bennet on acid, as mesmerising as the gleam in Kenny G's saxophone, and as electric as Warren Storm with a 700,00 watt generator shoved up his ass. As for the word "buzz". "Buzz" implies a lack of integrity, a popularity born without graft or skill. This is entirely untrue of a band who have worked hard to be where they stand now. I can't wait to see the buggers play again... - The Gusset Of Kenny Rogers' Underpants...

Some one needs to offset the gang of aging lefties and Know-nothings who run theind. Not to mention the Obama-ites at the Daily Waste Paper. - Scroll Lock Sat, 17 Apr 2010 10:07:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7082 But do the Givers know who Warren Storm is? - Plant Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:30:42 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7072 geez for real - eat something happy your current diet is upseting you.

As opposed to your old group? The one you left flat without warning? - uh, what? Wed, 14 Apr 2010 19:20:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7057 Sorry, but the Ind is just the latest local media to be taken in by this pop lite outfit, most of whom, at one time, had more serious musical ambitions. Can anyone listen to KRVS for five minutes without aging hippie Cecil Doyle swooning about them. The truth is that they started out by seriously double crossing several members of their previous bands and leaving them flat. They are delitants funded by a couple of wealthy grandparents - sour grapes Wed, 14 Apr 2010 19:15:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7055 you ROCK and so do GIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - rozzzz Wed, 14 Apr 2010 17:51:13 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7053 Walter Pierce, "The Ind is dead square against x-rays peering into cars." So, not under clothes, uh. I am checking the sex offender list for Walter Pierce. - Scroll Lock Wed, 14 Apr 2010 16:23:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7047 For the record, I do not do drugs, but I do eat fruit...and I read the Webster Dictionary, front to back, somewhere in the late 90s - I still have the copy...dog-eared for cool words. Thanks for the commentary, people. Keep'em coming. - Dege Legg Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:42:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7046 Buckley, for what it's worth, The Ind is dead square against x-rays. - Walter Pierce, Managing Editor Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:37:30 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7045 Are these kids standing on the Acadiana Outreach Center Campus? Are they illegally funnelling taxpaper money through the center's ulta evil quasi governmental conspiracy against the city of Lafayette.I have it on good account that they will be tearing down part of the surrounding neighborhood to build free socialized housing for musicians and other communists.And once this plan is made manifest there will be of course a methadone clinic going in next door just like the Grateful Dead compound headquarters underneath the golden gate bridge. And on the second floor of the compound they are planning to store nely developed red light cameras with electronic x-ray capabilities to see inside cars and underneath clothes. For the love of all that is descent and God fearing, how can the Independent condone such activities, much less glorify them? For shame! - Buckley Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:33:41 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/6039-give-it-up#comment-7037 Fruitarian meritocracy?
