The High Heat

If your bat is aluminum, I don't know...

And they are the ones smart enough to stay off this board.

Maybe it's the bells.

I used to have a massive baseball card collection, but I stopped buying them in the early '90's when the market became flooded with several different brands and the prices skyrocketed. I gave them to my nephews several years ago, but sometimes I miss being able to reel off stats because all the time I spent studying those cards. I do wish I still had the cards from the 70's, even just reminisce about long hair and ugly uniforms.

Be careful removing the disc from the book. It's made out of eggshells.

Sgt. Pepper's kinda loses its concept without Sgt. Pepper's at the outset.

I just don't want Tweedy to turn into McCartney, who can be quite pretentious in his awareness of his fame.

DVDs that won't allow you to bypass the previews.

Before crates went plastic they were wood or metal and mostly held glass quarts because of all the weight involved.

Handle With Care ~ Traveling Wilburys Love Sick ~ Bob Dylan ~ Time Out of Mind Cape Canaveral ~ Conor Oberst

You're right. Nova deserves to be on a much better album and The Song shouldn't be on any album. As far as you're thoughts on the crowd's response: Yeah, whatever you say, friend.

I feel Deeper Down would fit in if Wilco had done a White Album style record. It just doesn't jibe with what surrounds it and helps bring the album down. When they played it in Durham it received a courtesy applause because the crowd just didn't get into it at all.

I don't know. Maybe. He is sitting rather funny, so maybe it's elsewhere, unseen.

I bought this a couple of years ago at a used book store in Chapel Hill. I kinda flipped through it. I take it this is just some of his personal writings pieced together by the editor?

If Wal Mart is good for anything it's their selection of tvs. I just bought a Samsung 40", 1080p, 80,000:1 from there a couple of weeks ago for $700. Best Buy was selling the same model for almost $200 more. I only watch DVDs on it right now because I really don't watch television, but Ill most likely get an antenna before the World Series rolls around. The difference from my analog is significant, and I love seeing things I hadn't noticed before. I was wanting to get the Sony 40", 140,000:1, but it was about an inch too big for the tv cutout in my townhome; but even that model was in the $70

That's cool. There's plenty of acts other people are into that I don't dig either.

When my favorite waitress shares some of her homemade peanut butter cookies.

I don't know about blasphemy, but it might be time to get over the first impressions of Oberst. I didn't like him or his antics when he was with Bright Eyes, but his solo stuff is great and the best work on MOF is his. Oberst has matured, especially musically, and I know some feel he has been trying to imitate Dylan; but didn't Dylan also imitate a legend and act like an ass when he was a young artist? I think, like Dylan, Oberst has found his own voice and should definately be taken more seriously as a top-notch songwriter. Because he is one.

You think maybe this is a tongue-in-cheek anniversary thread, folks? Anybody know if the song is about anything real?

This is a shame. He was still pitching as late last year in the independents. He had a great year in '99. If I remember right he had more wins than walks that season.

Oswalt wants out of Houston.

Seriously. I grew up fairly poor and lived in neighborhoods where child abuse was the norm. This story is shit and is just something the media knows the general public will raise a small fuss over. If they showed the real abuse - children used as ashtrays, bartered for a rock, etc. - people would turn that news off. (Kinda like the Sarah McLachlan commercial.) They're giving you what you are willing to handle. If you want to debate child abuse maybe you could start with the children who are afraid to go to sleep at night because they're wondering if tonight will be another one of those nigh

Well gee, fella, you could ask Caliber instead of quoting someone who came along way later. You close threads almost at the frequency Pop Todd opens them. Can't you two find the happy ground somewhere in the middle?
