  1. I couldn't care less about the summer Olympics. Winter is where it's at! I can't wait for Vancouver 2010 Olympic hockey? Yes please!!! I lost interest in basketball when Nash announced he wouldn't play.
  2. That's so cool! I remember when I got to see Wilco... Nels, Pat, and John all walked past me at various times... I never worked up the courage to say hi and now, I regret it
  3. To me, Jeff is a little bit like Paul McCartney. Paul was best as a Beatle, when he had a musical partner to work with, to tell him what sucks and what doesn't, and most importantly, to push him into doing something brave. It seems like Jeff had that with Jay F., Jay B., and Jim... but when those people aren't around.... the music is pleasant but nothing that won't change the way I listen to music like the first times I heard; Anodyne, Being There, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, and Born Again in the USA. Though I think Paul McCartney's quality of music was far more dynam
  4. It was a "soft deadline". Whatever that means. I was really thinking he'd sign here but now I think he's probably retiring. Apparently he's not even working out now... whatever! He could have gone to two teams (MTL or VAN) that would have possibly been contenders with him and maybe won a cup, a great way to end a career (not to mention, all the while, getting paid millions of dollars). He can go play in Toronto and miss the play offs again for all I care
  5. This is the first time I've ever been disappointed in Wilco. I liked Sky Blue Sky but I'm ready for something new, not a rehash. Let's hope other new songs don't sound like this. Sunny Feeling sounds like the Walken style of SBS and One Wing reminds me too much of Impossible Germany. Honestly, I'm missing the synths. If Wilco is going to repeat themselves, I'd rather they repeat Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or A Ghost Is Born.
  6. It's funny you single those songs out... Hot Knives, Soul Singer, and Classic Cars (along with Four Winds, Breakman, Clairaudents, and Must Belong Somewhere [even though it goes on way too long]) are the only songs on that record I like.
  7. Best topic ever! As for the first video posted... I remember, maybe 5-8 years ago, I saw a modern version of that... it was even worse. I recall Kiss being in it. We Are The World is everything I dislike about the 80s.
  8. It's a cover and Jon Brion did all the music (at least, I think so) but damn if that isn't one of his best songs. Also I've always really liked "The Vagabond", the song he did with Air. As for the new album, I'm especially digging the first two songs.
  9. Alright! Thanks everyone for your help (especially VenusStopsTrain2 for the PM!), I ended up using the program ObliviousToMyself recommended and it worked great!
  10. High five to all my fellow Kevins on VC.
  11. Thank you all for your help! I will try out your ideas and report back!
  12. Grr I had it set to manual but my iPod kept freezing so I reformatted it (which didn't help the freezing!) and it automatically set it to sync. I was going to set it to manual when I had the time but I never got around to it !
  13. Dammit! I've only ever seen a small, pixelated, version that I downloaded when I was 16. I don't care if The Beatles are on their last legs, if there was one band I could back in time and watch in the studio, it'd be them... and this is as close as I can get.
  14. First off: sorry if something like this has been asked. I did a search for "iPod" and came up with 5 pages, that I went through, but didn't see what I wanted to know... and I couldn't think of anything more specific to search! Alright so, a few weeks ago my precious MacBook's hard drive failed on me. Well, it stopped working and at the time I didn't know why. So I took it in to the shop and they had to send it all the way to Kewlona (like a 6 or 7 hour drive away!!) to get it to someone who could repair it (as no one was certified in this two bit town of mine), they assured me it'd take about
  15. Awe! You guys need to come on up to northern British Columbia. It almost seems like in the summer, you can see them every night. Some nights it's just a green band in the sky, almost looking like a cloud with some light pollution on it, but other nights the sky will open with a huge red burst, it's beautiful.
  16. Just because it's not one of your favourites doesn't make it "overrated". All I'm saying is a song with a legacy like that can't be THAT bad. There's plenty of highly regarded music that I don't care for, but I'm not going to call it bad just because it's not what I'm into! HOWEVER, I don't want to fight with you, Solace, so let's agree to disagree
  17. The only other message board I read is the Canucks message board, but that place is full of assholes being mean to each other... I do like to read the rumours though Other then that! Via Chicago is the only place for me.
  18. Ummmm...... actually, you're both incredibly wrong. Yesterday is a great song. There's a reason why it's the most recorded song in the history of pop-music, and there's a reason why it's one of the most celebrated songs by one of the greatest ever songwriters. First Day of My Life, however, is one of the weaker songs on a pretty-ok album. ANYWAYS! As for this new album... I like it, I like it a lot. I like it for the same reason I liked I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning... it sounds like it was recorded live and all the songs sound like they were the first or second time the band played them. Muc
  19. Well, it's decided.... I'm moving to Russia!!
  20. Guess who arrived today! That's right.. MONTY!! He's even cuter in person! Yes, that IS a Winnipeg Jet's shirt.
  21. DARN!! I was on record saying he was a CLASSY DUDE.
  22. SPOILERS! This movie was flawless. By far the best super hero movie I've ever seen. Heath Ledger and Christian Bale was/is two of the best actors of our times. I agree fully with what was said before, Ledger made an unbelievable character in an unbelievable plot seem plausible. The score was terrific, the two note hum used for The Joker was great, I wish I thought of that during my score writing days in school. I'm glad they had the balls to kill off Rachel Dawes, instead of making it a perfect happy ending. I know they're going to do a third movie but I wish they wouldn't, since I sincerely d
  23. Luckily all the carpet has been replaced with tile in recent years haha
