She's too much of a lap-kitty for seclusion. If she was a loner, there wouldn't be much of a problem. The main problem is, if she's in my lap and along comes any other animal, it's slicing and biting time. If I have her in my lap and I shift a little so I can reach my drink, it's slicing and biting time. If I pet her more than a few seconds, it's slicing and biting time. If I brush her for more than a few seconds, it's slicing and biting time.

Unfortunately, this IS one of the options we'll have to consider if we can't find a new home or a shelter that will accept her.

Just realized the thread title says happy, and should say UNhappy. How do I fix that? (Nevermind, I figured it out) I'm kind of a dumbass.

Great, I'll check that out. Thanks! Glad to hear your success story.

I have a beautiful long haired white cat (indoor only) that is unhappy in my family. I'm now at the point where this cat has to go. Based on the pattern of its unpleasant behavior, I'm confident that this animal would be happy living as an only pet, or maybe in a house with one other animal (as oposed to our three other cats and one dog). I would never abandon an animal in an inhumane way. Any ideas how to humanely get rid of a pet? I've already tried to find it a home, to no avail. Do pet shelters and/or the humane society allow people to surrender an animal for a fee?

I've never heard of him. Rest in Peace, Harmon.

One of the all-time greats. Wrestling used to fun, funny and campy. That youtube clip was very Tom Waits-ian.

Maybe, but a lot of the time (maybe always?) they release material that is otherwise out of print. So, as a casual fan of Sam Rivers, I had to buy the Mosaic box to get his Blue Note material. Sorry to sidetrack the thread.

It's nice to see Gilmour and Mason show up to join Roger, but it would have been way more exciting to hear something they didn't play a couple years ago. I mean, big deal, we just heard them do that song with the whole band at Live 8. Young Lust, or any number of other songs would have been more fun to hear. I've only seen a few seconds of the Outside the Wall clip.

I hate when box sets do this. I don't want to hear five versions of a song back to back. I think the Faces box set did a good job of keeping repeating tracks away from each other, so you can listen to any one of the discs without any songs being played more than once. I find jazz box sets annoying because they often have numerous takes of a song in a row. Mosaic, which some people hold up as the pinnacle of box set achievement, is terrible about this.

Oops, sorry, should have said they broke up before you started getting into music (or sometime around that time), not before you were born. Back then, we didn't find out about music through the internet, and since CVB was folding and Cracker was getting a big publicity push, most people your age at that time probably didn't even know about CVB unless they had older friends or siblings who liked them.

There's definitely some validity to that, I think. CVB broke up before you were born. I'm 39, and got into them shortly before they called it quits. I can see how it'd be a lot easier for someone your age to get into Cracker as a kid, rather than CVB, since Cracker was pretty active (maybe at their peak of popularity) around the time you're talking about.

In that case, they probably did play it. I saw them two or three times around Kerosene Hat and their first album, but I haven't seen them since, except for maybe a song here or there at various festivals. They seem to be a mainstay on the festival circuit.

Every time. The range of material they do on that album is astonishing.

That's how I feel, too. CVB was going to do Key Lime Pie in its entirely, which I was very disappointed to have to miss.

They played all these songs when I saw them as a new-ish band. Maybe Loser and Sweet Potato, too. I don't think I know those. Was Camper Van Beethoven on the bill, too? They did a double bill in Atlanta last weekend. There's always some schedule conflict that prevetns me from seeing CVB.

I've sold a guitar and a drumset on Craigslist. Guitars are easier since you can meet somewhere neutral. I sold a Strat to a guy who, after a little back and forth on the phone and email, met up with me on the street in downtown Atlanta. I handed him the gig bag and he handed me a wad of cash. He didn't even look in the bag. I was kind of surprised the cops standing nearby didn't seem to think that was suspicious. The drums required the buyer to come to my house. That turned out to be a pleasant transaction, too. It's just a matter of feeling comfortable that you're not dealing w

I think I recall Spot saying that he didn't really know what the hell he was doing when he recorded that stuff. He just happened to own some equipment, so he was recruited to engineer a bunch of those albums.

BLASPHEMER! Apologize to Spot at once. All this repackage, bonus tracks, etc. thing can be good or bad. The thing I don't like about it is when they release a version with extras, like the Rykodisk Bowie stuff, and then that stuff becomes unavailable only to be replaced by far inferior versions. Anyone remember the cassette version of The Cure's Standing on a Beach with loads of tunes that never made it to the cd version? I guess you have to buy a box set to get what used to be on a cassette.

Good pick. In that same realm, Tin Machine Heaven's In Here http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvNot9hvuRw

It wasn't until a few years ago that I realized Duran Duran were an actual band that played their instruments. I always thought they were just a vocal group.

VU - European Son

Will do. I know I have one of their records.

No idea. That's interesting if true.

I always thought the solo in Robert Palmer's Simply Irresistable was kind of chaotic.
