  1. I thought that was just a rumor/idea. Doesn't matter to me, really ... I couldn't care less about my postcount.
  2. In twobobs' defense, we had a couple of board rollbacks (software upgrades, followed by reversions) that wiped out lots of posts ... there were probably two months' worth of posts that disappeared. Not that those would necessarily have put him past your postcount, but he'd be a hell of a lot closer.
  3. You assert that no one sings them better as if that's an undisputed fact. I'm a huge Dylan fan, and I like his voice, but I also think that other artists have frequently bested his original versions.
  4. Donald Fagen - Tomorrow's Girls Ry Cooder & Manuel Galb
  5. Interesting how you can comment on a record no one's actually heard.
  6. On the other hand, when someone's been a member for over a year and a half, we'll often let it slide. At least it's not someone signing up, dropping spam, and leaving.
  7. So apparently the actor who plays Morris O'Brian is one of the leads on the Canadian sitcom Little Mosque on the Prairie.
  8. I'm a big LZ fan, and that may be my least favorite album of theirs. I just don't get into "Black Dog" or "Rock and Roll" at all, and yes, I've heard "Stairway to Heaven" several hundred too many times. The rest of it's great, though.
  9. That's probably why they're coated in fudge. I was cheering for "Stephen Colberry," but this sounds quite tasty.
  10. Because she made him "stand at attention."
  11. FYI, the lyric is "gold tooth displayed," not "gold toothed display." Plus, the song title is "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide." Just trying to help.
  12. I don't think there's been anything mentioned so far that's quite as nauseating as "Precious and Few" by Climax.

    ST demos

    Click "My Controls," then "Board Settings," then change the setting "Do you wish to view members signatures when reading topics?" to Yes. If that's already set to "Yes," I'm not sure what's up.
  14. I've surprised myself by picking four finalists that were all released in the last 30 years -- and three of them were released in the last dozen years. Regional champions: The Clash - London Calling Whiskeytown - Strangers Almanac Ted Leo/Pharmacists - The Tyranny of Distance Cut down the nets: Scud Mountain Boys - Massachusetts I'm actually more partial to Let Me Come Over, but this is an inspired choice.
  15. I still think it's a pretty good record, but it's not standing up very well for me on subsequent listens. Definitely not as good as much of her recent work, in my opinion. I heard "Are You Alright?" on the radio yesterday. Please tell me that's not the first single ... that may be my least favorite song on the record. Repetitive bordering on annoying. Interestingly, AMG gives the album 4
  16. Well, then I guess Pavarotti qualifies.
  17. Did I already use the word "idiotic"? OK, then this time I'll go with "moronic."
  18. To take out skips (which are often just pieces of debris embedded in the grooves), I use a Q-tip, moistened with some DiscWasher fluid. It's not foolproof, but I've banished dozens of skips that way.
