  1. or the plethora of people who sound like this...jose gonzales, castanets, matt pond PA, sean lennon, etc
  2. QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 4, 2006 -> 06:48 AM) And to top it off, i just found a handful of unreleased Trout Mask Replica covers from a project he'll apparently never get around to finishing and they are also cool as hell. that just sounds like a bad idea to me.
  3. QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) I didn't take it personally, if that what you took my response as. Like my post said, I think Ipods are overrated and underproduce. Apple needs to know there are definitely alternatives out there. Competition spurs innovation, which they are the leader in this category. I think they're lazy, right now, however. Any consumer willing to shell out 250-300 bucks off their hard earned cash should deserve better; demand it, even. while this is true, the style and interface of the ipods are more important, and however not true it is, people think that ipods are setting the standard in tech.
  4. i like the way american eagle jeans make me look and feel. And after all, that's what it's all about, soxtalk, that's what it's all about.
  5. QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) No doubt the ipod isn't in trouble, but that was why I went and did some research. The point of my review is that you can get twice as much product with reasonably the same amount of ease of use and style. the short: I wouldn't break my arm patting myself on the back after i bought an ipod. Itunes is a nice show, but if you're willing to put any amount of effort into your portable, ipods just don't hold their overvalued weight. Ipods = VW in the late ninties I use "Kleenex" when I have to blow my nose, but I look at comperable items with similar quality and superior quantity. I'm not impressed with the Kleenex brand simply because it revolutionized the tissue paper industry. at what point in my post did you think that I was referring to a single person, especially yourself?

    LOST! thread

    the only compelling thing is whether this is just another manipulation by juliette. As someone somewhere said, "if she wanted him dead, why wouldn't she just let him die. He's got a terminal tumor on his neck"
  7. ahh yes, reading is key i guess.
  8. the ipod will not be in trouble for quite a while. Its a cultural phenomenon, people even call products that aren't ipods - ipods. Somebody stole my ipod. I was hoping i'd catch them in this thread...

    i can't stop watching dammit sigh... i guess he asked to be written off and such. Still felt like a really sloppy show last night.
  14. damien rice is, apparently.
  15. I can see both sides of this argument and will leave it up to the big guns in management to decide. That my friends, is the type of opinions that make me a journalist student! --- - - -- - - - - - -- - -
  16. what if we turn into robots? What then?
  17. QUOTE(thedoctor @ Oct 31, 2006 -> 01:15 PM) saw the chili peppers in concert last night. john frusciante can play the hell out of the guitar. ahh i know someone who went last night, as well.
  18. his mic'd up portions on the WS were so much more entertaining than Backe, god that duder annoyed me, ATTA BABAY ATTA BOY WOOHOOO WAHOOO as opposed to willy the slick pimp.
  19. you're nuts animal collective and wolf parade are the bee's knees. Hey dylan and/or DePloderer, do you know how the Waits cd set is ordered? Is it somewhat chronological or anything, or is it strictly a sort of theme, and i'm missing it. That said: Fish in the Jailhouse
  20. QUOTE(BobDylan @ Oct 29, 2006 -> 10:59 PM) Woah, Woah, slow down there (unless you are talking ONLY about pop music, which I think you are). The late 90's feature: Pulp - Countdown Pulp - Hardcore Radiohead - OK Computer Godspeed You! Black Emperor - slow riot for new zero kanada Sigur Rós - Agaetis Byrjun Bob Dylan - Time Out Of Mind Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire - Oh! The Grandeur Beck - Mutations Beck - Odelay Belle and Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap Belle and Sebastian - Tigermilk The Beta Band - The Three E.P.'s I'd keep going but there are too many to mention. i was talking about pop music exclusively. And AB wasn't really a hit until 2000 i'm sure you'll agree.
  21. yeah the emo comment was that. I mean terrible bands like 3 days grace still exist but whatev.
  22. see, i actually feel much better about the pop music of today than the late nineties. I dislike emo very much, but their pop structures are very catchy and listenable. I am a bit suprised that is the trend right now, in 02 i wouldn't have forseen that. But, i do still love brand new and thursdays old stuff. And as far as hip hop goes, so much better than the pdiddy days. And pop music is much better than the boyband/britney spears days. And i've found so many great albums this year...
