I'm a lifer and I'm 27. Predictions mean as much as jinxes; karma is as real as unicorns. I'm not superstitious. I'm rollin' with it! Enjoy the ride!

I like where your heads at. I haven't seen much of the Cowboys since early in the year, so I can't say much about them, but I predict a Minnesota-New Orleans NFC Ch. with Minnesota winning. I think the Vikes have the most talent in the game, overall, but Pittsburgh scares me. If we can avoid them I think we have a great chance at winning the Super Bowl. Actually, bag that. This is the Vikes year. I'm just convinced, though it's highly likely my POV is tainted by my love for them. Predictions at the halfway point: New England exits early. New Orleans falls short. Indy, too. San Diego or

What the hell is diff for the Cowboys now compared to early season!? They looked awful early and now they're a juggernaut! re: NFC North, what a motley crew that is! Got the best team in the league, 2 also-rans and the worst team. Thats some separations

Playoff games are held at the higher seeded teams home field until the championship game. You may have some chances to catch a game! *although, I just looked at the regional rankings and DePauw was ranked 10 of 10 in the South on Nov. 4. The selection committee uses the regional rankings for seeding, obviously. But, a) the rankings can change quite a bit from week to week and, there's always a chance a team could be moved to another region and get a different seed accordingly. I wouldn't bet on a home playoff game for DePauw, but who knows? Selection on espnnews Sunday at 3et!

The duck flies at midnight.

Clearly, this being my first time hearing it, I'm a little late to the game. Kinda sucks, because There's so much from the Jay period I just don't know. I'm trying to learn but it's not easy. Thanks for the heads-up, though! You know what I'd like to see? A list of each (wilco) band members contributions on each song.

I just heard this song for the first time tonight. Wow. I can't even say much more beyond that. It's just an amazing poem. Obviously, credit to Woody Guthrie there. Jeff was perfect though. What a song....

I dont know

Thanks! I'm hoping for an assist from the local public library.

Lizish, of your top 8 I've only ever heard of Wrens and have never actually heard any of that music (to my knowledge). I'll have to check that stuff out! That's my favorite part of lists like these, discovering stuff I've never heard (of).

Preliminarily 1. Kid A 2. YHF 3. Perfect Circle - 13th Step 4. Elliott Smith - Figure 8 5. Deerhunter - Microcastle 6. Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth 7. Sufjan - Illinoise 8. AGIB 9. Flaming Lips - Yoshimi... 10. Radiohead - In Rainbows 11. Dave Matthews Band - Lillywhite Sessions (unreleased) 12. Gorillaz - Demon Days 13. White Stripes - Elephant 14.

Grizzly Bear - Yellow House 21. Strokes - Is This It? 22. Arctic

I'd forgotten about Dog Problems! Thats def. near the top for me. I looove that album. Also, I feel like I'm the only person who prefers Cassadaga to Wide Awake. Maybe it's because I've only listened to Wide Awake, like, thrice, and it never grabbed me.

Can I change the thread topic? Maybe something like: Music Related Lists of the 00s... 00s: Music of the Decade (lists/discussion)

Of course we can! Lets party in here! I hope to see some best album of the decade lists but, if not, que sera... I think those are the most fun.

We have two months but it's time to start doing your homework! I'm aiming for top 50, but I already have a prospective list of about 70 albums, many of which I'll need to hear again; this could take a while (for me). I know my 1-2, thats about it. Post lists of any length!

This idea is best long in time! Seriously, don't you see like a million stupid blogs like 'cake wrecks' that become huge, overnight sensations for less creativity / entertainment value than this? I need more!

Anyone ever listen to When Radio Was on public radio? I've been listening for a few years, here and there. It's a gem! If you're unfamiliar, When Radio Was features radio shows from "the Golden Age" of radio (30s-50s). They have variety shows, comedies, crime dramas, science fiction... It actually started as a local show in Chicago in 1990 (so says wikipedia). I urge you to give it a try some night (or whenever its broadcast in your area). Its amazing how different art/entertainment was in that time and medium compared to modern television.

Just finished The Unbearable Lightness of Being. One of the best books I've had the pleasure to read. You must, Must, read this book.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Awful. Just terrible.

What is the What by Eggers was really good. I've started War and Peace like 3 times and always lose steam in the.. early hundreds someday though. I can't even remember most of the books I've disliked because I just put them down at that point (usually pretty early). I can't understand wasting my time reading a book/author I dislike. my GF almost always finishes a book once she starts it. Que sera...

I didn't make that clear at all. I actually meant Lee in game 1. He should have been out there to start 4. Lights out and series is tied. Thats just my take, I get the counter-argument and we'll never know anyway.

I feel mountains of sympathy for Packer fans but, as a Viking fan, let me just say: WWWWHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhooooohoooooohoooooooooooohooooo!!!!!!!!

Manuel throwing Lee out there for the ninth looks like a really poor decision that may well cost the Phillies their best shot at the World Series. Brutal. Ridiculous. If I'm a Phillie fan I'd be enraged.
