  1. how could they possibly be, "the most important rock band in America", when millions upon millions of Americans have no clue who they are?

     

     

    It depends on how you define 'important.'

     

    Besides, the fact that David Banda's mom is still considered 'important' by most Americans immediately disqualifies their opinions.

  2. I was just telling my friends yesterday how recently Naperville was voted one of the best, if not THE best, city to live in the US. I would LOVE to move there....have the suburban life for the kiddos but not be too far from Chicago :wub

     

     

     

     

    SOME-day...*sigh*

     

     

    Naperville fucking sucks. It's where a person goes to die on the inside.

     

     

    I don't know how y'all handle the winters up there.

     

     

    Winter fucking sucks. That's why I'm moving to CA. So long, cold ass Chicago.

  3. :blink lou, is your chicago/black person more authentic than the black guys bobob already stated he hangs out with? kind of like sarah palin's 'real america'? as i do live in the chicagoland area and my black friends were raised in the area, do i get a pass from 'uncle lou's tour of real blackness'? c'mon, that was right after saying you weren't 'talking down' to him.

     

     

    So, you're saying that all black men are the same?

     

    Ooooh!!! You're going to hell!!!!

     

    :realmad

     

     

    :lol

     

     

    ;)

  4. In our recent email blast of 10/28 we discussed the impending release of the film "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" on Blu Ray DVD. It's due out in mid-November. In expressing our reservations about it, conceptually, it appears from a handful of comments that we may have confused the message and a clarification may be in order. Please note that our comments were not in any way intended to be an indictment of the merits of Blu Ray as a technology. On the contrary, for many projects and with careful preparation it appears to be quite a valid (if slightly expensive) enhancement. That said, we'll reiterate that the band were not involved in any way in remastering or otherwise preparing the film for Blu Ray production. That combined with the facts that the film was shot in 16mm b&w and, to our knowledge, the audio was not remastered makes us continue to question whether the potential incremental increase in audio/video quality is worth the price for THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. For the time being, we're sticking with our caveat emptor.

     

    When the new DVD is released, we're going to purchase several copies and ask for a select few volunteers among you, dear readers, to A/B the original DVD release with the Blu Ray to further the discussion. So look for information re: this in the coming weeks. This is one of those rare cases where we'd actually love to be proven wrong.

    What they're not making clear in that statement is this:

     

    Times are tough right now. We don't want to appear to be gouging our fans by releasing a slight upgrade to a project with our name on it. In other words: We don't want to George Lucas our fans.
