LouieB Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I just picked up my mail and found a big old box from Camel, with a slick CD box that looks like a wallet that you open up and it has a CD in it that looks like it is sitting on a turntable (mixed metaphor much) and sure enough it is a comp of indie bands they are pushing through something called the Farm (free range music), with a slick booklet. Here is the line-up: The SilosBaysidePeelThe CluttersGore Gore Girls Bound StemsDirty on PurposeMiss DerringerThe Saturday KnightsThe TossersThe Architects Just as most clubs are becoming non-smoking, I guess Camel has to find a new avenue to catch new smokers. Interesting. At least I have heard of a few of these bands.... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guess I simply ain't in the right demographic anymore.... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also the one who signs up to give them to friends, but only with counseling that I don't agree with them. I'd rather they get their slow death for free than pay for it.

bjorn_skurj Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I bought a pack of American Spirit cigarettes last week. I have smoked precisely three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anodyne Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 i smoked camel wides for a while. now that they brought them back, perhaps i should start smoking again. free cd + a much higher cool factor just might be worth lung cancer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 According to the one Bodies exhibit, you lose 2 hours and 20 minutes of your life with every pack you smoke. So you can fit 2.5 listens of Sky Blue Sky in each pack of cigarettes you smoke... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 So you can fit 2.5 listens of Sky Blue Sky in each pack of cigarettes you smoke...So is this a deterrent from smoking or a reason to smoke? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 So is this a deterrent from smoking or a reason to smoke? If you don't want to smoke, use that time to listen to Sky Blue Sky 2.5 times. If you want to smoke, make sure the pack lasts long enough to listen to Sky Blue Sky 2.5 times.

bobbob1313 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I smoked a cigarette yesterday. I did not feel any cooler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefanie Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I bought a pack of American Spirit cigarettes last week. I have smoked precisely three. and each one of those probably took 20 minutes to smoke. those things take forever! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 > and each one of those probably took 20 minutes to smoke. those things take forever! i've noticed that. the brand is hard to find down here, but if i see them i grab them. i'd go outside with my friend for a smoke and she'll finish in 6 minutes when i'm 3/4 through. she'll say i'm really slow and i'll tell her that 'i dont suck as much as she does' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
