QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Nov 22, 2006 -> 06:48 PM) I'm inclined to believe last years highlight reel catches have inlflated his defensive reputation. Matthews is probably a top 5 defensive CF in this league. Name the players that you would rank ahead of him. If you've only seen a few web gems or scattered games here and there, you don't really have much ground to stand on. You watch the games, and you wipe your ass with those Dial sheets. Hell, Gary would have been out of the league a few years ago if not for his incredible defense. He ain't no 10 million dollar man, but he is without question a valuable player on a championship caliber squad.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) ...except lynchings didn't happen with the person hanging upside down with forks up their butts. But...yeah...I guess he still meant lynchings. He was just trying to put a comedic spin on it. I think we all knew exactly what he meant when he said it, though.

QUOTE(spawn @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 09:55 PM) Referencing lynchings is more offensive than the name calling IMO. Really? You think so? I'd say that you're in the vast minority with that opinion.

Why didn't Michael Jordan win the MVP award every year? What were his winshares and VORP? What are you guys arguing about, exactly? Give it a rest. It's meaningless.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 08:03 PM) I get it - don't ask tell. Don't worry, PA, I won't ask.

Remember that stretch when the Twins won 21 out of 23? You know, the stretch that prettty much put the Twins in the playoffs? Morneau had 11 HR and 33 RBI in those 23 games. A .320 average with 130 RBI ain't too shabby in the big picture. Santana and Liriano were crucial, but the big man was lurking in the background. He was at the forefront of the MVP discussion since June, and his overall numbers look pretty damn good to me. Perhaps there were others that are more deserving (as Cheat points out), but who cares. He's MVP caliber in my book, and he's only gonna get better. This ain't no great injustice. The weakest MVP in decades? Please. You can not deny that Morneau is awesome.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) I just get drunk. Right. Who in the hell wants to go out and play football when there is liquor to drink?

QUOTE(pierard @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 12:11 PM) Maybe you do have an ear for Hispanic names, but Carlos Menica's real name is Ned Holness. Still sound Hispanic? I don't know what that name sounds like. Ned Holness? Good God. But his mom is 100% Mexican, and he was raised by her brother in East LA. I don't care about his real name. All I know is that he's Mexican, and he grew up immersed in Mexican culture. That's all that anybody needs to know. Argument over.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 06:29 AM) from wikipedia, so take it for what it is. it's probably right, but might not be. I've known two different guys with the name Mencia, and they were both 100% Mexican. This is due to the fact that I went to Gordon Tech, which is/was a good 80% hispanic. So yeah, I was being presumptuous to a certain degree. I'd like to think that I have an ear for Mexican names, because those are my homeboys.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 21, 2006 -> 06:17 AM) He's not Mexican. Who have you been talkin' to? It says on Wikipedia that his mom is Mexican. Bite me.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 20, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) Not sure, I try not to pay much attention to Mencia - I think he's awful. Not funny whatsoever. Word. I grew up on Cheech. I know a funny Mexican dude when I see one, and Mencia ain't it. QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Nov 20, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Also, doesn't he claim to be Mexican, but he's really German mixed with South American? Who in the hell have you been talking to?

My favorite at the moment is probably 1973-1975 dub reggae era King Tubby. I also made a 3CD set of Jimi Hendrix instrumentals that are great to listen to while I'm on the road.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 06:22 AM) Meh... I've watched the Catholic thing 4 or 5 times. This, it's okay. The part about the racecar bed had me rolling.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 31, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) They already have abstinence-for-adults programs. They're called Star Trek Fan Conventions.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 31, 2006 -> 04:43 PM) Reading the conviction with which he writes about this stuff, I tend toward giving him the benefit of the doubt about his porn bust situation. There was a time when I tried to dig up as much information about the allegations as I could, and the one tid bit that caught my attention time and time again: He never actually downloaded a single image. Now, I'm a huge Who fan, so of course I'm gonna try to find ways to let Pete off the hook. I'd put him down as one of my classic rock heroes along with John Lennon, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Alan Wilson, etc. However, if information came out that he was downloading pornographic images, videos, etc, then I'd never be able to think about Who songs in the same vein. I can't defend the credit card thing, and I can't blame Steff for making definitive assessments based on that information. It's reasonable to assume that Pete likes him some kiddie porn, but then again, it's reasonable to assume that he got a raw deal just based on the fact that he never actually downloaded anything. And if your mission is to find ways to masturbate via the internet, you're gonna have to download something, at some point.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 12:46 AM) His hard earned rep of disappearing when it counts will be aided big time by that series, despite what he did against Minnesota. And your "hard-earned" rep of being a complete and utter bonehead around these parts will be aided by this post.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) People were already disappointed with most of what he released in the 70s - as Jackie said. But when I listen to the Double fantasy stuff now, I still hear somebody who took an extended break from the music business and all its attendent cr@p to be a husband and father, and then he came back refreshed and ready to have fun making music again. The Double Fantasy stuff wasn't earth-shaking or groundbreaking, but John sounds downright happy on those tracks, which he largely hadn't for a long tme. I still miss him. Have you heard the "Watching The Wheels" acoustic demo? It's amazing. These three acoustic demos absolutely blow away the officials, IMO: Happy X-Mas (War Is Over) Here We Go Again Watching The Wheels But of course, "Happy X-Mas" has no Yoko, so it blows away the official by default. QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 12:26 PM) ***sigh*** Hey, it's all a matter of opinion, dude. For instance, my favorite band is Hootie And The Blowfish. Hate me now.

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 10, 2006 -> 11:54 PM) you need OiNk, invite only, its brilliant. excellent quality control. If i ever get invites i'll let you know. I appreciate it.

Happy birthday, fellas. TLAK!

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 10, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) Meh, I only use it for underground and rare stuff when I do use it. Exactly. That place used to be a Dub Reggae goldmine because of all the UK users with definitive collections. I have pretty much everything that Lee Perry or King Tubby ever made, which is no easy task. There are easily 150 albums combined just between those two, and you're not gonna find the vast majority of them at any store, so soulseek was invaluable to me. Nowadays, that place is maybe 1/50 of what it used to be. What is the new soulseek? I need a site with a ton of UK representation. I haven't downloaded anything since 2004, so I've been wallowing in my own ignorance over here. Like you guys, I'm just looking for stuff that you can't find in stores. People ruin everything when they go on servers to download Bob Seger's "Greatest Hits" or whatever.

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 04:04 AM) i just got that madlib doing blue note album and its pretty great. I'll check some of this out. You should get the soul-jazz source tracks for the Blue Note album: These three tracks in particular (all on the same side) are unbelievably good: 7. Andrew Hill “Illusion” from untitled session 8. Bobby Hutcherson “Montara” from the album Montara 9. Horace Silver “Song For My Father” from the album Song For My Father Madlib has had a major influence on me over the years. I have a crate devoted to his Stones Throw releases, and it's just about full. A lot of white labels and what not. I haven't been up on anything since 2003, however. There is a 2CD set of unreleased Madlib stuff from 1997-1999 that you could probably track down. There used to be a s***load of users offering it up on soulseek, but I don't know what happened to that server.

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 03:01 AM) But i've never been much of a fusion jazz fan. When I say Jazz Fusion, I'm talking funk-jazz, soul-jazz, rock-jazz, etc made in between the years of 1966 and 1975. I got deep into jazz fusion mostly because of hip hop. A good starting point would be the "Tribe Vibes" 3 volume set. Contained are close to a 100 songs that A Tribe Called Quest sampled, mostly funk-jazz and soul-jazz. I'm in the process of putting together a 90 minute funk-jazz mixtape. If you're interested, look up some of these tracks on whatever server you use to download albums, because this music is the true backbone of golden age hip hop: 1. Ike Taylor- Hung Up On My Baby (Geto Boys Sample) 2. James Brown Band- The Funky Drummer (Reprise) 3. Joe Farrell- Upon This Rock 4. Soulflay- Scratch 5. Cold Grits- It's Your Thang 6. Deodato- September 13 7. David Axelrod- Holy Thursday (Artifacts Sample) 8. S.O.U.L.- Message From A Blackman 9. S.O.U.L.- Burning Spear (Organized Konfusion Sample) 10. Galt MacDermot- Harlem Medley 11. Galt MacDermot- Duffer 12. Tony Alvon- Sexy Coffee Pot (Rakim Sample) 13. Meters- Cardova 14. Dennis Coffey- Whole Lotta Love 15. Dennis Coffey- Scorpio 16. Lou Donaldson- It's Your Thing 17. Buster Williams- The Hump (ATCQ Sample) 18. Headhunters- God Made Me Funky 19. James Brown Band- Get Up, Get Into It 20. Wade Marcus- Spinning Wheel 21. Billy Brooks- Forty Days 22. Jack McDuff- Flat Backin' 23. Jack McDuff- Moon Rappin' 24. David Axelrod- General Confession (Beatnuts Sample) 25. Galt MacDermot- Coffee Cold 26. Herbie Hancock- Fat Mama 27. Meters- Ease Back 28. Art Blakey- A Chant For Bu (ATCQ Sample) 29. Dub Specialist- Greedy G 30. R.M.O.- Atlantis 31. Freddie Hubbard- Mr. Clean 32. Clarence Wheeler- Hey Jude (Gangstarr Sample) 33. Overton Berry Trio- Hey Jude 34. Bernard Purdie- Something 35. Jimmy McGriff- The Bird (Cypress Hill Sample) 36. James Brown Band- Give It Up Or Turn It Loose 37. Dennis Coffey- Ride Sally Ride 38. Lalo Schifrin- Tabu 39. Geno Guy- Drum Soup 40. Brian Bennett- Name Of The Game (Madlib Sample) 41. Meters- 6V6 LA 42. Galt MacDermot- Stockyard 43. Galt MacDermot- Space 44. Pete Moore- Shady Blues (Madlib Sample) 45. David Axelrod- A Divine Image 46. Andy Loore- Mixed Drums 47. Jack Wilkins- Red Clay (ATCQ Sample) 48. Junior Mance- Don't Cha Hear Me Calling 49. Groove Holmes- Grooving With Mr. G 50. Groove Holmes- Mr. Clean 51. Wet Willie- The Beggars Song 52. Accadde A- Accadde A Bali (Madlib Sample) And like I said, it's important that you stick to the 1966-1975 time period.
