I'd like to take this oppportunity to say that George Harrison is so f*cking great. I miss him.

Well, this might explain some things. http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...bs_think_theyre Confused Cubs Think They're Going To Arizona To Start Spring Training PHOENIX

Is this the new random steroids bust thread?

That's right buddy.

awesome

I find the critique to be a tad over the top. I mean, yes, its a repackaging of stuff you can get elsewhere, but you'd have to buy 10 cds to do it. This is a 3CD package of his entire career. It includes tracks from the last 3 studio albums, as well as Things Have Changed (which Biograph doesn't do). This is for *very* casual fans that want a career retrospective that includes his recent output. That all being said, of course its a cash grab. And I would've given it the same rating Pfork did. Seems like a retrospective with little to no creativity involved. I certainly wouldn't embrac

Yes, self-defense is an affirmative defense which, if found to be credible, will negate criminal or civil liability, even if it is proven that the defendant committed the acts he/she is accused of. Other exampls of affirmative defenses are entrapment and insanity and soft drugs.

Oh snap.

Well, I meant it tongue in cheek (hence the smiley), but it did seem to me that you were ascribing some ill will or bad feelings to Jay Farrar that aren't necessarily true, and although I have no clue, I would bet are probably false. First, I dont think he'd agree that wilco>son volt. And second, even if he did, I am not sure he'd care all that much since I don't know where that would get him. And third, even if he did care, I don't really see any evidence of sand in his vagina. Seems like he tries to stay away from discussions about wilco. At least in the interviews I've read. Jus

Sounds like you're the one with sand in the vagina.

yo la tengo - and then nothing turned itself inside out

Can you post it? Or PM me where I can find it?

Wow. You really went there?

Keep em coming. This thread is now my favorite.

The crux of the argument that the rationalizers make appears to be that illegal downloading increases exposure and increasing exposure increases album sales which increases revenue. That seems like a logically convincing argument to me but also an unprovable one. It also puts the decision about how to market and how to drive revenues into the hands of the consumer instead of the artist. And that doesn't seem fair to me. Seems it should be the artisit's choice, no? Clearly there are some artists that do not agree with the argument that illegal downloading increases revenue.

Hey g&c. This looks great... wont be able to make it across the country for this, but best of luck.

I think I posted in here awhile back that I started War and Peace. I finished it this weekend. Jeez that's a heavy book. Literally and figuratively. Tolstoy is the shiznit. My only disappointment is that I have no one to chat with about it. I am sure I missed a billion things and would love to see what other people took away from it. Oh well. I can check one more thing off of the "before I die" checklist. I have no idea where to go next but I have a feeling it will be very funny and very easy and very short.

I think Other People's Lives is an underrated gem from last year.

This was tough. I'm not even sure where to start. But hats off to the Phils who probably have fans that have suffered longer and harder than we have. The Phils and their fans certainly deserve it. The Mets didn't. You know there's a real problem when the fans seem to want it more than the players do. Of course, there's no way for me to know that for sure, but it certainly looked like that. And bobbob -- you are right that Willie is probably getting an unfair share of the blame. Especially when you consider how the pitching came back to earth and the pen was made up of scrubs. But at

Stories like this, and my one experience with it, used to make me mad. I dont know why, but this one makes me sad. I guess I had just hoped he was on the road to figuring all this stuff out. I am rooting for him.

Why is going to see Mamma Mia on broadway better than hugging a tree or saving some dirt? I'd rather hug a tree.

Glad you are enjoying this bobbob. I still believe. Ya Gotta Believe!!

Wonderful Tonight was not the 3rd song on the mixtape I made for my girlfriend back in high school. Just wanted to clear the air on that.
