  1. An ode to Oceanman. Maybe. EDIT: Haha, Oceanman beat me to it!
  2. Sadly, I think that's the point.
  3. I am simultaneously jealous and really happy for everyone there last night. Keep the stories/pics/videos coming for those of us that couldn't make it...
  4. As someone who is not even a beginner I am freaked out by used guitars. I know that I know enough to know that I dont know enough to know whether someone has messed with it. I have heard horror stories about stores selling stolen guitars, and I have also heard horror stories about people selling used guitars that they repaired after some serious damage was done. On the theory that there's no such thing as a free lunch, I am always worried that if I find a good deal that maybe it's a good deal because there was/is something wrong with the guitar. I know my way around a guitar fretboard an
  5. I look at it differently. I am being true to myself by voting for someone who I dont love, but someone that I know will fight for the causes that I believe in, because I know the alternatives are too grave to consider. Pick the one issue you feel most strongly about. You'd vote for a 3rd party candidate or sit out so that you are true to yourself? The result being that the candidate who will fight against your issue gets elected? How is that true to yourself? You've shot yourself in the foot.
  6. How about instead of praying they just vote for the Dem that wins the nomination? Instead of sitting out or voting Green party?
  7. Is that the window to the Loft?
  8. When do we get to rank the residency shows in chronological order?
  9. If you sit out, you want it too. Respectfully.
  10. People can rip IRDB if they want (since that appears to be in fashion now), and maybe "loyal" is a poor word choice, but I agree with the general sentiment behind his statement. I am a Hillary supporter who will gladly vote for Obama in November against the Republican nominee (whoever that is). But many Obama supporters that I have met and debated have such a visceral hatred for Hillary that they have stated that they will refuse to vote for her. That they'd rather sit out the election than vote for her. bobbob - it has less to do with "identifying yourself by your political party" and

    Bon Iver

    Um, huh? That song is about Dylan wanting to be his father?
  12. I love this album to pieces and I love the lyrics to this album and I have no idea what the hell he is talking about. I feel it, though.
  13. i'm not a beginner, but I just bought a Seagull S6 because I needed a cheaper knockaround guitar that I could travel with, bring to the beach, etc. I love that freaking guitar.
  14. Oh man, that would be awesome. Can someone post the chords to Straight Outta Compaton - acoustic version?
  15. I thought this was interesting. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/20...obama-wept.html And Obama Wept February 07, 2008 9:43 AM Inspiration is nice. But some folks seem to be getting out of hand. It's as if Tom Daschle descended from on high saying, "Be not afraid; for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born to you this day in the city of Chicago a Savior, who is Barack the Democrat." Obama supporter Kathleen Geier writes that she's "getting increasingly weirded out by some of Obama's supporters. On listservs I'm on, so

  17. Jeez. Hasn't every kid in history said that he/she hated school? This is a tough (and unfair) crowd.
