QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 05:02 PM) does dJR play loud? My Bloody Valentine loud? You'll need earlpugs, please do not go without. They are very loud, but not distorted, which is the beautiful thing about it. Some bands turn everything up as loud as they can with no balance or reason. I never saw MBV, by the way.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) I can't believe that the thread has gone this long without mentioning 2PAC. Yes, he some thug style stuff that talks about how hard he is, how much money he has, and how many women he has sex with, but he's also got some of the more "friendly" rap. He's certainly one of if not the best writer out there (well, he's not "out there" anymore, but you know what I mean), and he has a lot of emotion in his music. Most of his stuff that was released post-death is pretty weak, but his greatest hits and his older stuff is solid. I definitely agree with some of the stuff that has been posted. Mos Def and Taleb Kweli have some good stuff, as do Nas, Common, and Big Pun. As for some of the better gangsta style stuff, I'm a fan of Biggie, Mobb Deep and Dr. Dre, and pre-Great Depression DMX. 50 Cent also has his moments, but I think that might be influenced by those that produce his albums. I think Eminem's older stuff is good too, but that has tailed off significantly. Pac may have had some really personal and profound things to say, but his 'flow', the meter and tempo of it didn impress me at all. Give me Mob Deep or Smiff N Wesson if you're gonna go gangsta.

I hear Scotty looked scared to death. I'll have to check it out for myself.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) haha, no , 2 sep. dates 2 weeks apart...Honestly i'd prefer it that way because then i have 2 days to look forward to instead of one. Plus 2 opening bands... its like how when i was younger i'd split the chicken nuggets in half so i would feel like i had more. Lucky bastard. I feel you on that. Built To Spill is playing 2 shows at Metro in mid April. I want a FULL review of Dinosaur Jr.............. and don't forget the earplugs.

My cursive has always been awful. Even my signature sux and looks different every time. On cards, I usually have my wife sign both of our names, otherwise it looks like a kid got a hold of the pen.

Not sure why, but 'Free Fallin' by Tom Petty feels beach and summery.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:21 PM) Since very few people actually are mentionning the awards, I think I will... If U2 was going to win for any of their recent albums, it should have been for "All that you can't leave behind", which was not only a better album than "How to dismantle an atomic bomb", but also had weaker competition (The O Brother where art thou soundtrack won somehow). Agreed, 'In A Little While" is a beautiful song and is even better live.

I vaguely remember mention of this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11254053/

'walking on the sun'-Smashmouth 'summer time'- DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

you only need like the last 10 mins. of the show.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 11:24 AM) Gretzky's assistant and his wife supposedly ran a gambling ring. Gretzky has said he knows nothing about it. He sounds like Sammy Sosa and Raffy Palmiero to me. LOL, I know he has a ton of loot so a few missing bucks here or there would go unnoticed, but my guess is his wife wasn't betting $20.00 in Super Bowl squares.

I just got a message saying Mark B. and Scott P. were on Oprah today. The details were sketchy, but a guest on the show is a Sox fan. He went down to N.O. to help with the Katrina relief efforts. I guess he sold his WS tix and used a lot of his money. I guess Mark's wife heard about it and told Mark. Mark talked to the Sox about hooking this guy up. So in the last few minutes of the Oprah show today, Mark and Scotty came out and showered this guy with Sox season tix, all star game tix, a jersey, he'll throw at the 1st pitch on opening day, he'll take batting practice in ST, etc. Anyone else see this, or are they pulling my leg??

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:06 AM) Yeah Kelly Clarkson won an award over Mariah in an upset. I didn't see the show but heard that from a vew sources. As for Mariah, trust me, I love a nice thick, curvy body as much as anybody....but Mariah and Beyonce are fat asses. I feel you, everyone's tastes are different. The point is that women send out and receive mixed messages. It's "love yourself for who you are and what you look like, but cover up that fat ass." Skinny girls who run around half naked make me wanna puke, but no one calls for them to cover up.

Mariah is cursed with having a nice thick, vuluptous, curvy body. Why is this a curse?.... because if she puts on the same outfit that some 90lb. corpse does, people will talk about how sexy the corpse looks in it and how fat and slutty Mariah looks in it. Did Kelly Clarkson win anything? She has a GREAT voice...makes crappy music with it, but a great voice nonetheless.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) I once had a friend get suspended for asking a teacher how her boyfriend was.....this was just after she broke up with him and let the school know about it. Suspensions can get out of hand if you give that power to dumbass people. So your friend knew she had just broken up with her bf and he asked her how he was doing? Uh, sounds like your boy was being a prick and deserved the suspension.
