I tried starting a "Catch-All" thread on another board I go to. Nobody has joined in. It's amazing how certain things are very specific to the boards they are on. I've also tried bringing a "Shuffle" thread to other sites, and it never works. I think these, along with the team this site is for, are reasons why I stay around here. No matter what we all think of specific things, we all seem to be very "like-minded" in things in general.

LOL! Nah, but I like the strangely odd, twisted nature of the first one, and when it kicks in it's a pretty cool song and leads me to want to hear more from the band. The second clip is a bit of amazing make-up FX, provided by some hack named Stan Winston.

Dessert was two Reeses peanut butter cups and now I'm cracking open a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. My body will hate me in the morning. So, how about an update? Your body hate you? Mine does just after reading that post.

The difference is that Johnny will admit that he is doing it for the money and he will be proud of that fact. I love Johnny also. Always have. Always hated Sid though.

I know what it means. It's just a REALLY bad joke.

I hate work. I hate overtime because it means more of "work", and the money isn't really worth the hell of "more work". Tim Armstrong has his first solo album. I'm a little confused on it though. He was supposed to release it song by song for free to his fans on the 'net. But some radio station started playing it and the love from everybody was huge, so he decided to release it all at once as a solo album and put it in stores. So...what I get out of that was Tim saw the money and he ran with it? That's a hell of a "thank you" to your fans. I have a bumper sticker in front of me that was sent to me by a band. The band is called "Stark". The saying under the band name is "The party band...with feelings". It's easily the dumbest damn saying I have ever read. I'm tempted to somehow change the sticker into reading "Stark Industries" in celebration of the upcoming Iron Man movie, but the sticker is so stupid it should stay as-is as proof there is always something this incredibly stupid out there. Though I could also just tape an episode of According To Jim, but I don't think I deserve that kind of Hell. We have GREAT coffee here at work. No, it still isn't worth the overtime though. Listening to the last release by 69 Eyes and am really enjoying it right now. Great guitar tone. I should watch more of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

How do you post it so that the video shows up here and you don't need to follow the link? Man...I wish I was older in the 70's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGe-OT5DkTg

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 09:59 AM) Basically he was given an asset and needed to pay the taxes due. If I gave you and item worth $100,000, you would be responsible for any taxes owed. Just like on a game show, the contestants have to pay taxes. Perhaps thinking about a stock gain. Or if an employer decided to give you a house instead of paying you? Wow, how incredibly stupid and greedy or our government. So, if you get it and actually plan on keeping it, you're f'ed? This doesn't happen on every single foul ball caught, so it shouldn't apply here either.

Can somebody please explain this:

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 01:55 PM) Supagroup was enjoyable, the rest are a little too...borderline glam rock for me, but at least is has balls. I'm tired of candy ass, cry baby, folky s***. Thx man. I'm such a dork. This has been driving me batty since you posted it. LOL! I purposely picked the bands I did because I was trying to avoid anything "Glam". The liking Supa but not Tokyo threw me for a BIG ol' curve, as they are very similar. But then I realized that the Tokyo site's soundfiles didn't seem to work when I was there. So I thought "HA MAYBE HE JUST DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING!!!". The thing is, though over there it says "Glam Scholar" (I wrote something for somebody looking for info on Rene Berg, who had been a temp in Hanoi Rocks back in the mid-80's, and when the piece was published it said my name, followed by "Noted glam scholar"! I died laughing!), I actually pretty much can't stand what most people in the US consider "Glam". I can't stand Poison, Warrant, Firehouse, and what I always refered to as "Cock Rock" and Hair Metal. It might look pretty, but that was where it failed. So most of what I cover in the magazine is straight up RnR, which when done in a certain style, is my ideal of Glam. Glam is basically whatever you were introduced to as Glam. For some it is Poison, for me it is Hanoi Rocks, NY Dolls, T-Rex, Dogs D'Amour, Quireboys, early Wildhearts, The Heartbreakers (Thunders, not Petty), Lords Of The New Church, Tigertailz (borderline Hair Metal...but too cool to fall all the way down...RIP Pepsi), Thee Trash Brats. Think Aerosmith and The Rolling Stones after a monthlong bender and you get the idea. We'll give it another go: Tokyo Dragons My Space site (70's style ROCK): http://www.myspace.com/tokyodragons Midnight Scraper My Space site (if you enjoy The Stones, Faces, Black Crowes with them listing these as influences: "Leon Russell, Solomon Burke, Taj Mahal, Sly Stone, Aretha Franklin, Ronnie Wood, Keef, Otis Rush, Ike&Tina, Jackson Browne, Sam Cooke, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Feat, Jimi, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Rod Stewart, Mick Taylor, Gram, Stevie, Beatles....well I guess you can say that we dig old american music like blues, country, soul, rock'n'roll and we love the people who have copied it over the years...."): http://www.myspace.com/midnightscraper My Mom even LOVES Midnight Scraper because of how much they remind her of the stuff like Sam Cooke and what was on the radio when she was a teen.

Midnight Scraper "Glam"? They are listened to by the Glam community, but they are direct descendents of The Stones and Faces musically. I'll keep posting links if you want. I can't stand the mellow, weepy stuff.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) I'm a lot older than most of people on here and I'm out of touch with a lot of things, so I rely on you guys for information. It seems like 90% of the time that I hear or read a recommendation for 'a great new band', it's always down tempo, acoustic, folky type s***. WTF happened to rock n roll music? Do you sit around at parties and listen to this down tempo s***? I don't mean to knock it, I'm just curious. Would you like me to start listing RnR bands? http://www.tokyodragons.com/ http://www.supagroup.com/ http://www.midnightscraper.com/ http://www.myspace.com/theurgencies http://www.thecompulsionsnyc.com/ http://www.myspace.com/thevalentinefailures You can also buy this wonderful magazine that covers NOTHING BUT ROCK AND ROLL!!! http://www.myspace.com/sonicruin One of the best record labels out there right now, and based in Chicago, has some killer bands: http://www.fullbreach77.com/kicks/news.html What you have noticed though is why I rarely post in this thread. Nobody seems interested in full blooded RnR on this site.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 07:09 PM) Upload it to pornotube.com Hmmm, yeah, that sounds like a perfectly safe, spyware-free site.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 01:56 PM) BTW, I'm assuming that "The Three Stooges" and "The Marx Bros" don't qualify because all of that stuff was aired in theaters, correct? The Marx Bros. only did feature length films. They may have had the rare little thing here and there, but I bet you couldn't name any of them, nor could most die-hard Marx fans, of which I consider myself. Stooges were shorts, yes, so they wouldn't count. I can't deny the impact of BH90210, but is the list made up of quality or impact? I think that is where to have to try and see through the crap and the inclusion of stuff such as 90210 and MARRIED tells me they used both criteria. BH would never even come close to touching my list, as it was complete crap. Why isn't it on there? Don't know.

Yeah, but 6 out of 100 is pretty darn good. I point you in the direction of AFI for how to blunder 100 choices. I'll agree with you if we can replace Beverly Hills with Rockford Files.

This is a case where if you find those who are guilty, as soon as they are found guilty, they go out back and shoot them. People like this deserve no chance and no remorse.

You can argue those that are missing, but with the exception of a few here and there, you can't argue those that are there. MTV in 1992 had a certain show aired that changed that entire station and killed the "Music" on the show and can easily be credited for the wasteland that is Reality TV: The Real World. (though the real world is on their list)

Sex Pistols to do a one off 30th Anniversary show. From Yahoo: *sigh* Idiots. I guess simple fact checking is as dead as dumb-ass Sid. He was NOT the original bassist and only played with them for 6 months or so before they broke up.
