I didn't see the live thing, but I agree with the 100% yes. For me, OKC is modern day equivalent of Dark Side of the Moon. It all has to be in there, or it's just good songs on a good record. Those albums are both more than the sum of their parts. I don't know about this 'flawless' business... I think that probably changes over time per listener. It's just another way of saying what you like. I mean, I find less 'flaws' in stuff I like, especially stuff I like a lot. But carry on... I do see a lot of really really good albums listed.

I call horsesh*t! Ain't no way, sister.

And how...

The slinky-dog was always my favorite.

Sheesh. Just trying to help.

33 1/3 ! Hey, thanks for doing this again. The process is fun to watch, and the results are kinda cool too. The sociological aspect of our inability to follow simple rules as a group is priceless. I may have asked this last time, but is it easier if we voters send you a spreadsheet you can cut/paste into yours rather than just text in an email to re-type?

So, the kids have managed to infect two of our PC's with AV Security Suite. One much worse than the other. Plan A is to use Spyware Doctor to clean it up, and install Avast to keep a better eye on things. Sound like a good plan to anyone? thanks,

So, I bought high violet and like it a lot. Some of the songs make me think "this is the record that coldplay wishes they would have made instead of x&y". That's not a slam at all, just a reaction. I want to try another one. What do you all recommend to get next, boxer or alligator? Or something else?

I'm in love with my car - queen racing in the streets - springsteen cars - gary numan

Have a great one!!

Begin the Begin - REM / Life's Rich Pageant Intruder - Peter Gabriel / (3; melting) Convinced of the Hex - Flaming Lips / Embryonic +1 for Thunder Road

I enjoyed the Target commercials. Other than that, it was an unsatisfying 2.5 hours.

I feel a giant "whatever" coming on in the next 149 minutes.

Good point. I don't think "better", but definitely "different". Wilco (the song) as the opener kinda says "OK, this one's going to be a rock and roll record". Deeper Down says "just kidding, folks".

+1 I don't consider the outtro to Reservations as noise.

The tall one with the funny name.

and to you as well, lotti

Nepotism: It isn't just for politicians anymore.

Sorry, this belongs in the "what are the little things that make you feel creepy" thread.

A couple dates popping up on Google for early 2011. Jan 26 - Austin Jan 30 - Lexington, KY (!) Hopefully more to come... I haven't seen them, but looking forward to it.

On the plus side, I played golf with my 67YO mom before the Indy show a couple years ago on my mini-palooza birthday trek to Radiohead and Wilco. On the minus side, I got a speeding ticket on my way back from the Iroquois show in Louisville when I was ALMOST all the way home.

I am growing weary of all of the phone-call pollsters this month. I forgot how irritating it is to track down the phone only to find it's some random somebody wanting to know who I'd vote for. When the do-not-call lists kicked in a couple years ago, that was a beautiful thing. Now it only comes back once or twice a year, but it's more annoying since you think those things were gone for good. You have to re-train yourself to let the machine get it.

At our house we refer to it all as "Nickelstaind" when any of that indistinguishable generic drivel comes on the radio.

The Betty Whites

True story / weird coincidence: I made a playlist on my ipod that I keep in my car this morning which consists of all the versions of Kamera / Camera I have (7 in total including live versions) just because I love all the variations of that song. It also picked up the R.E.M. version from Reckoning!
