This trade hasn't been so terrible so far, bobbob. I am not going to say something ridiculous like Francouer is back to his old self. And I won't judge the outcome of the trade 13 games in (although you judged it 0 games in), but Francouer has done pretty well for himself so far. 3 HRs and 6 multi-hit games. I fully expect this guy to revert back to his crappy self, but so far, he's been a nice surprise. And I get the added bonus of not watching Ryan Church sulk his way through every game.

that's awesome. I dont know how I missed that video all these years. I guess I was too busy sitting around doing nothing in college.

Well, I hope the differences are as noticeable as you say, Joss, but as I said, I dont know how good they will have to sound for me to feel like I haven't been had. We shall see. I very much look forward to hearing Taxman in mono, though.

Yeah you are right, but I wonder if that will eliminate the star in the back of my mind that's just waiting. For it's cover. To be blown.

I love Just and just watched the video for the first time. I am glad I did, but jeez, what a fucked up video and band.

Yeah, I dont know what happened. When it was first announced, I was really excited and convinced that I'd find a way to get both boxes. But as time goes on, my interest level is going down, and my suspicion level is going up. I guess we all become jaded, but I never wanted to become jaded about the Fab Four and their music. Oh well.

Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube Pavement - Range Life

I wonder what percentage of the folks buying these remastered cds will actually be able to hear/appreciate the difference. And what percentage it has to be for this to be looked at objectively as something other than a money grab.

Dude, is your signature genuine or ironic? I assume the latter. (I also assume that people won't be happy with HMD as #7)

What I don't understand is how this guy is going to make Jesus, Etc #8 and #1. But I will wait to see.

The headline probably should have been "Report: Cheney advocated sending troops into Buffalo."

thanks for taking the time to type that, jff.

You crack me up Crow Daddy. Wilco loves you, baby. We do too.

Yeah, when you put it like that, I guess it does. Just seems odd to me. There are going to be the folks who think that way. About any/every band. Just like there are going to be folks that tell you to listen again to an album you don't like. So be it. I will shutup now.

Actually, the bigger question is why you guys care what Shakespeare thinks about this topic. Or, it's my question.

I expected better from you.

sorry to hear it, e. As for me, I can't figure out whether I love this new album or hate it. It's quite bizarre. I've never flipped back and forth and back again so violently over one album. I am seeing the band at Irving Plaza in nyc in Sept. I would have preferred a smaller venue, too.

I used to hate that my mom would make us watch the MacNeil-Lehrer report when I was a kid. Now I watch the Newshour with Jim Lehrer every night. I suppose that is how life works.

I've never played one, but I've found yamaha guitars, on the whole, to be pretty darn good guitars. Can someone explain to me how a guitar with a solid sitka spruce top, and a rosewood back and sides, is $299? There's got to be a catch, obviously. Is there a such thing as rosewood laminate??

bobbob, is Rose a first ballot HOFer if you had a vote and he wasn't banned from the game?

Sign me up for the "very good" and "complimentary" guy who will get me over 4200 hits in 24 years. And I'll take 17 all-star games at different positions, too. Even if the selection process isn't perfect.

thanks for everyone's thoughts. really appreciate it. I stopped by the local guitar center yesterday to play a bunch of different J-45s and they didnt have any left in stock. Man, I hate guitar center.

both?

if this merge results in the resurrection of this thread, there won't be anything to complain about.

Don't get me wrong. I am sucker for all this stuff and will likely be buying as much of it as I can afford. But we are approaching ridiculous levels of recycling and reissuing. Weren't most (if not all) of the quotes there also used in the Anthology?
