  1. I am thrilled beyond belief to see Echo and The Bunnymen perform at Radio City in October. They are doing Ocean Rain in its entirety with an orchestra! Should be sweet. Anyone seen them before? I only have their box set, Ocean Rain and Crocodiles (What a classic!) anyhoo just wanted to see if anyone else is a fan, has seen them live before or has other albums of theirs to recommend to me!
  2. If the government wanted to save billions of dollars they would have outlawed short selling! This is the easiest thing they could have done to prevent this huge bailouts. Shorts artificially drove down prices on these giants where they couldn't raise capital anymore. Anyhoo my questions is $85 billion for this bailout?! Where does this money come from? Isn't this like half the cost of the Iraq war and magically we have the money to bail them out when we are not in the greatest economic shape right now? I understand the impact an AIG failure would have but where do we have all this money?
  3. I saw that most shows are $90...how can they not have a range of prices? Who wants to pay basically $100 after service charges for a crappy nosebleed. Hopefully I will score a deal on ebay!
  4. I think Don't Believe the Truth was a wonderful album! I hope I like this one as much!
  5. Latin America is From Mexico to Panama? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_america Ok sorry I stand corrected...the map I have has it as Mexico to Panama...its old...
  6. It is crazy how the politics are down there and there is something to be said about Chavez and his control over Venezuela and a huge supply of Oil. I am supprised Bush hasn't done more about him? Also...pardon my geek geography statement. Venezuela is not part of Latin America.
  7. On a related note Oil went below $100 a barrel today! http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080912/oil_prices.html
  8. I find it ironic that it is named Hurricane Ike. Ike was from Denison Texas... My thoughts go to everyone in the path...be safe...better safe then sorry!
  9. $3.41 in NJ! Don't forget elections are coming up...price will drop big time soon!
  10. I completley understand what you were saying and you didn't come off as abrasive. I am sure you had a reason for your statement.
  11. Is taking pictures then any different then taking pictures now? People still take pictures of sites of great destruction...Pearl Harbor, Gettysburg etc...I took a few pictures about a month or so after I am not going to lie. My reasons were so I can share them with my kids whenever I have them. Then again I was not a tourist as I have lived in the area for 20 years at that point. In addition I have also saved some major newspaper headlines etc...I am a history junkie and save things from major events. I do think it is crass though to take pictures to profit. I still think it is tacky and cra
  12. Some of the attackers involved were planning some of the events while staying in my hometown of Wayne and these attackers stayed at the Wayne Inn a month or so before. They also all bought their sunglasses used during the attack at our local mall. It frightens me to this day knowing that that was going on less than a few miles from where my family lives.
  13. I know it is straying off the original message of the topic but hearing others stories I believe is theraputic. I was in State College, PA at Penn State when it happened. I was actually at a radio station in town watching the tv's live as the 2nd plane hit. I was supposed to meet with a programmer there to discuss an advertising campaign that I was involved in. I of course as soon as I saw and heared about the attacks had a lot on my mind being as I grew up outside NYC and new tons of people who worked downtown (Fortunatley everyone I knew was safe...My brothers friend was the most affected
  14. I hope tickets are reasonable!
  15. http://www.nme.com/news/rem/39617 http://remhq.com/news_story.php?id=888 UGGGGH! I love the sound of that guitar! I HOPE HE GETS IT BACK SOON!
  16. Supposedly Bloomberg news had a hand in releasing the story....investigation pending of course. I don't think there is anything the average investor can do to avoid a situation like this and that is what is REALLY scary!
  17. It is a scary economic time. I used to invest in the market but was spooked by the economy and pulled out everything awhile back. Although I have no money in the market I still keep up on economic news and watch the market. Anyway if anyone was watching United Stock yesterday an unbelivable event happened. An 6 year old news story came out yesterday with a new date on it. The stock was at $11.50 or so then said newstory came out..within a minute or so the stock dropped to $3! In a couple of minutes United Airlines lost 1.13 Billion in Market Cap! Then the said story was rebuffed by United and
  18. Those pictures are OUT OF THIS WORLD! Thanks for sharing!
  19. Let's see how the media and the republicans run with this one... http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=74635
  20. REM played a wedding party in a bowling alley once too...best wedding setlist I can think off! 8 October 2005 - Kingpin's Bowling Alley, Athens, GA set: 01. Sitting Still 02. (Don't Go Back To) Rockville (Mike Mills on vocals) 03. Wolves, Lower 04. Begin The Begin 05. The One I Love 06. Permanent Vacation 07. short intrumental/Michael talking 08. Radio Free Europe The thing about Phish playing the wedding though is people are banking on them getting back together. They haven't appeared together in public as far as I know since they broke up. Thus making it kind of exciting!
  21. Yikes I can't pronounce or spell their songs titles in regards to Sigur Ros but tracks 7 Vidrar and 8 Olsen Olsen have two of possibly my favorite moments in recorded music. The Build up at the end of Vidrar and how it all comes apart in the end give me goose bumps every time. Also the when the Choir comes in towards the end of Olsen Olsen has simiar results for me. I Highly recomment
  22. Cool! Doesn't sound bad...like the suits!
  23. I am insanley jealous about 13 ( I only heard Trimm Trabb and Tender) , Definitely Maybe and Violator (I might be missing 2 of that though!)
  24. Beacon Theater the show he did with The Flaming Lips I think he played Town Hall during Mutations?
