Iggy Pop - Lust for Life CCR - Fortunate Son Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench

1st one tbat comes to mind is Jackson Browne's "These Days" as sung by Nico. Lots of Bob Mould songs break my heart, but even the melodic ones don't strike me as beautiful.

The demise of the daytime soap gives me a glimmer of hope for western civilization.

Even after I remind of of this gem from the Wilco sells out to VW thread?

Just scan your receipt and post it here. Then I'll be satisfied. Come to think of mine, I got mine through legitimate channels, but it was still free (amazon gift card).

NPR was streaming it last week. I enjoyed it.

How many people on this board have their LP and didn't pay for it?? Musicians have to get paid too.

Nishioka stands tall against Swisher, breaks leg in process Not a lot of depth at infield. :/

I really, really liked the Hothouse Flowers' debut.

I am working under the assumption that Neil has been somewhat smart with his money. He holds a lot of California real estate with his ranch, he started a school for disabled children, was a major stockholder in Lionel model railroads, has sold lots of albums with Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, and as a solo artist, and has toured extensively. Granted, he's flighty and probably given to reckless behavior from time to time, but there's no reason to assume he needs the money. If the money help him and his family live the kind of life they want to and people are willing to pay the ticket cost, the

One of the bearded dudes in the lower right isn't smiling all that much.

^ That's fantastic!

It'll be interesting to see where this goes. His introduction was full of arguments I agree with. Primarily, that students in a democratic society need to be taught about religion to be well educated citizens. And, as at least 3/4 of Americans identify themselves as Christian, that instruction in it should be emphasized. Religion clearly impacts many areas of our modern lives and Christianity, our political lives, especially. His history of religious education in America, however, seems to glorify the time when student learned to read (via New England, McGuffey, etc. Readers) by reading r

Wow, you sure are right!

That album that came out in 2007 was (is??) on iTunes. It's called For Truth if Not Love. My wife likes it, me not so much. It's much blander R&B stuff. Too bad, that '95 album had 4-5 great songs.

I'd be much more likely to give props to someone who transforms a song I don't like into one I do (e.g., Richard Thompson's Oops I Did it Again) than someone who does a cover of a song I like in a style I don't like. Whether or not he did something different on Idol is irrelevant to me.

Heard My Country Disappeared (+ great Old 97s, Son Volt, Lyle Lovett) at a chain in Carlsbad, CA called Claim Jumper. Must've had some muzak Americana channel playing.

Fair enough.

Obviously, that's meant a little to a lot tongue in cheek. I hope a lot because we shouldn't equate passing a law with firing rockets at our political opponents.

I am talking about educating our entire nation, not those of just people wealthy enough to afford private education. I have no problem w/ private education, and am even open to the idea of vouchers just so long as any school receiving money through vouchers is held to all the same expectations and regulations as public schools are. Are there private schools paying six figure salaries to math and science teachers who might otherwise be working for google or dell? No. Private school succeed, to a large degree, because parents choose to send their kids to them. Even Catholic schools in roug

I don't see this as anyone's fault. Just the sad economic reality. American labor can't possibly compete with foreign labor and maintain a reasonable standard of living. Laws prohibiting moving jobs overseas would ultimately be worked around, so many (Jules makes a good point) of the manufacturing jobs leave. The best solution is to do exactly the opposite of what's happening in Wisconsin. We need to ensure we have the best educated workforce in the nation. That's not cheap. The uncomfortable part of this for me as a teacher is to admit that my field (social studies) isn't as competi

Some of the rehearsal footage wasn't bad. He had a really nice Tweedy/Westerbergish rasp going. This was way too high-pitched pop/emo. I haven't watched the show in 4-5 years. Not missing much.

Good businesspeople (read, "smart rich people") create economic demand through creating and marketing desirable products. Ergo, rich people create jobs.
