LOL!!! I went to bed with 8 minutes to go! LOL!!! I'm guessing I missed something???

But...but...this was the game where the mighty Bears were going to get revenge for the way that the Cardinals beat 'em up in the pre-season!

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) The Sugarcubes are reuniting for one night only! The show will be at Laugardalsholl Concert Hall in Reykjavik, Iceland November 17th. This will be the first time that the indie rock legends will have performed with international superstar Bjork since 1992. Rex Kickass will be there. Also trying to catch the last show on Sufjan Stevens' two night Icelandic tour the following evening. Are you flying over especially for that? That's pretty cool. I always wanted to do something like that. Have fun!

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) GOOD NEWS! Congrats! Any chance for a second printing, or is that it for Issue #1? The only way I reprint is if I get "advanced" orders. Otherwise, forget it. Lost enough money on that one. Issue 2 will hopefully do much better. Thanks for thw "congrats"!

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 01:05 PM) yay! updated information : hits on your website this month : 1 SWEET! Reality can be a b****, can't it? On a somewhat related note, my magazine just sold out today!

The British version is indeed quality! I think Jim will end up hooking up with the Stamford chick, and Pam and Roy will get back together. They are doing a really good job of making Roy extremely likable this season.

I'll be here selling my 'zine if anybody wants to stop on by.

If Sonic Ruin takes off, that will be it. I ain't holding my breath, but I am having a blast with it as is.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) Debbie Harry lives ten miles from me. I have been so tempted to leave a flaming bag of poo on her door just to see her stomp it out. I think it would be HI-larious! LOL!!! Please do video tape it if you do!!! LOL!!!

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 12:42 PM) As a White Sox fan I don't root for rivals of the White Sox (the Tigers), and don't understand those that do. Go A's! I think part of the theory is that atleast if our division wins it will show that we had the best division in baseball and will explain why we didn't make it, kind of. I would think it is akin to rooting for the AL. We had the best division dang it. I would be pulling for the Tigers, but I like Frank and I don't really have much liking for Maggs anymore. But remove both of those guys, and I am pulling for the Tigers all the way.

A's, but last night was downright pathetic.

Ya know, I have one job and I have to do that job. I like the Beatles, used to love 'em, but ya know...

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 08:03 AM) Forgot about the Dead Boys, I would have liked to see them as well. I just remember CBGB being all about Television, Blondie, Talking Heads and such. Never wanted to see any of them, although I enjoy some Talking Heads songs. Debbie Harry was hot, it ends there for Blondie. Talking Heads. Pass. I love Television for the fact that Captain Sensible wrote the tune "Idiot Box" because he hated them so much. Not one of the best Damned tunes, but still cool.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 06:48 AM) Was CBGB as much of a dump as it looked in photos? From all I have heard, the pictures don't do it justice on its "dumptitude". I would have loved to have seen The Dead Boys. But it was Stiv's death that prevented that from happening. Never was a big Ramones fan. Would have loved to have seen The Heartbreakers (the Thunders band, not Petty's), but they were more associated with Max's. New York Dolls would have been cool...but it seems I have a chance to see them now days. Weird, I thought 4 of them were dead...

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Oct 10, 2006 -> 11:54 PM) Doesn't matter, though. Noone's been better than the Beatles yet. ***sigh***

Got nothing to say other than "wow", and even that is in a hushed voice.

I rarely have the same wall paper up for more than a week. Right now it is a mock cover for my magazine that a friend did, it's really cool. The one here at home is one my daughter picked. Before this one it was this:

My wife wants to get THRILLER since my daughter has been showing a HUGE love of the title track. I told her "no way in Hell am I downloading that". Jackson needs money. You just know he is sitting there taking down names and numbers.

But there was virtually no "Lennon/McCartney". It's been said that the two really never wrote together. They just slapped the double names on for whatever reason. I believe it started out as the two as a team, but quickly stopped.

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 11:06 PM) soulseek users are scared after the record companie execs have been saying "we know about soulseek" Meh, I only use it for underground and rare stuff when I do use it. I doubt they are looking for us evil people who grabbed something by The Devil Dogs. I never grab major label stuff. The thing I am most amazed by are the number of Blog sites popping up with downloads.

O.K., first there was limbo, now it is gone. So does that mean that all of the people trapped in limbo will now be released this week and that a whole bunch of Limbo workers will now be unemployed? It's a darn shame.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 01:38 AM) why do I get the feeling that Jim has a Google alert set for "teleportation" that has been largely quiet until today?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 07:57 AM) It's not "Spirit Of The Radio", it's "The Spirit Of Radio". ......losers...... Nerd.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 07:36 AM) I wonder what value there is in staying together for 30 years, something more commercially sucessful groups could not. LOL, I was listening to Spirit of the Radio as I was writing this. It has survived the test of time very well. His one "yeah" in there is one of the coolest vocal moments ever, IMO. That bit right there completely destroys anybody who thinks they don't do their music with feeling and passion. It's so natural, and so damn perfectly said.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 07:22 AM) I can't believe the amount of bile that is being spewed in this thread... I though music was about personal taste and preference? That's why I could never really get into the arts, because there really isn't "an answer" to anything, yet there is always someone to tell me how good/bad it is. What sucks for one person, is played at someone else's wedding, and there is no way to actually say that something isn't any good by any real system of measurement. I really like both Bob Dylan and Rush. I must be the worlds biggest idiot and genius all at the sametime. You're cool. I like you. Rush could have very possibly written 30 years of crap. But in those 30 years they wrote "Spirit Of The Radio", and for that they belong in the Hall Of Fame. IMO.
