yeah but i think this season will focus more on uniting those dudes back to the clan and telling us of the others with later seasons focusing on how weird that island is.

we can compare rush to fozzie bear's standup and the result wouldn't change FOZZIE>>>RUSH BA-ZING, TAKE THAT RUSH FANS

eh...

If Eko died...i'll stop watching the show.

seriously no one likes laura, the conservative cruella deville was fun for 2 episodes than who gives a f***. nawsayin?

concierto de aranjuez pt. 1 (miles davis)

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 3, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) Like I said, "horrible bands" is your personal opinion. I know of many amazing bands that are influenced by Rush, but others might not like them. Just because somebody is too friggin' arrogant and closed minded to accept that something that they do not like is not neccasarilly bad is not my problem or Rush's problem. I am not a Rush fan, I own nothing by them, but I would never be such a closed minded idiot to claim that their musis "sucks". They are fantastic musicians who have made music loved by MILLIONS. No, record sales do not equate great music, but many of the people who claim that Rush are crap will also spend time praising stuff by bands like the Butthole Surfers. p.s. bmags, who is that in your avatar? slints album cover for spiderland, recently learned the photo was taken by Will Oldham (also known as bonnie prince billy) besides it being a great album, i love that album cover, it kind of reminds me of stand by me the film, and just being younger. The facial expressions and settings. its so great. And i realize how horrible bands are subjective, but i've made no bones about saying how much i hate prog.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 3, 2006 -> 01:26 PM) I went and saw The Science of Sleep last night. Pretty good, in the same thematic vein as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind--but not as an exceptional film. It was good, though, and worth the price of admission--it definitely has a very European vibe to it, so if you're not a fan of foreign films I wouldn't advise this one. Oh, and ladies, the lead actor, delicious. Probably the best looking thing I've seen onscreen in a very long time. when i saw the film though, it kind of looked like 'indie film by numbers' which kind of undercuts the freedom of indie films in the first place.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 3, 2006 -> 04:15 PM) I'm going to have the guts to come out and say this: I have listened to a whole bunch of Rush than I have of Bob Dylan. To discredit Rush and what they have accomplished in their time, regardless of how you feel about them and your personal taste, makes about as much sense as discrediting Dylan. I would lay every single one of my yearly paychecks on the fact that Rush has probably influenced damn near just as many people worldiwde as Dylan has directly. I would lay money on it that almost every Metal band out there (remember, drop your personal bias about possibly disliking Metal) will cite Rush as an influence, and many of them will not cite Dylan. I would also lay money on it that many drummers out there will admit to an admiration for Peart. Arguing over Rush being better or greater or whatever than Dylan, and vice versa is silly. No Rush was not going to have the political significance that Dylan had, but NO BAND did in the 70's. Geez kids, argue over who was better, Led Zep or Rush. Or argue Dylan vs. The Byrds. Arguing Rush against Dylan is like arguing Backstreet Boys against Burzum. yes but influencing is bad if it influences horrible bands.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Oct 1, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) So you didn't like Scarface or Carrie or Carlito's Way or The Untouchables at all? Scarface - no Carrie - no Carlito's way - haven't seen Untouchable - completely undercut by depalma, over the top in so many ways. The guy is the cecil b. demille of our era, completely superficial as a director. I hate him. He's lucky he had pacino and de niro and garcia and spacek.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 3, 2006 -> 02:48 AM) Covers? I'd bet the Beatles >>> Dylan. I'd guess Yesterday alone would come close. while this is prolly true, a lot of it is due to companies getting around how expensive their song rights are.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Oct 2, 2006 -> 11:19 PM) Them's fightin' words. Dylan has longevity in his favor just as well as he does good albums. I guarantee you that Bob Dylan's last three albums are better than Rush's last three just as they are better than the the last three of the Rolling Stones or Aerosmith or any of those other bands that couldn't hang it up. Besides, anyone that can wipe their own ass knows and understands that Dylan isn't recognized for his musical talent (although some of the bands he had playing for him are far superior than Rush) but for his writing. The staple Dylan made in music is and will be far greater recognized beyond anything Rush has done and can do. Selling out a venue does not make a band great. Not in the slightest. If you don't believe me, buy a ticket to Kelly Clarkson or Kanye West or the Goo Goo Dolls or Fall Out Boy. And covering songs does not make anything out of an artist. I'd bet Dylan has had more of his songs covered than any other artist in the world from now until the beginning of music. Most will agree that only one cover is better than the original. Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower. After that, the only guy that can cover Dylan is Dylan himself--go see him live if you want to see what I'm talking about. Rush cannot touch Bob Dylan in terms of ANYTHING. If you don't believe me, you're only in denial. Dylan didn't get where he got by luck. I challenge you to present me an artist that started his/her career better than Dylan's debut in '62 to the Basement Tapes in 75 (I can already picture you looking up all the Rolling Stones and Beatles albums): Bob Dylan The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Another Side of Bob Dylan The Times They Are A-Changin' Bringing It All Back Home Highway 61 Revisited Blonde On Blonde Nashville Skyline New Morning Blood On The Tracks The Basement Tapes i like the byrds tambourine man better , and these past 3 bob dylan albums stand on their own as great albums, and i think in years will be pointed to as very influential.

jeremy enigk (sunny day real estate) signed on to open for cursive nov. 12th...awesome. And okkervil river is wed. for me...awesommmmeee

i mean a hall of fame for music...its so stupid in my opinion. Just have a rock and roll museum and have monthly different exhibits. This is so meaningless.

apparantly if you saw the go! team at intonation it was where you were standing as there were terrible pockets of sound. I thought it was atrocious, but people up front said it sounded fantastic. Considering last year was their first tour ever and its not like that guy ever played with other people before, i'd be willing to see em again.

great post.

i heard black dahlia was awful... f*** depalma. Guy sucks, can't believe he gets jobs.

i liked of montreal more when they were doing that e6 beatles stuff more so than their electronic stuff. BUt murder by death and elf power are straight.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 26, 2006 -> 03:30 AM) I always thought of Rush as more mainstream, vanilla, rockers. Figuring everybody liked them and they didn't have enough coolness to be in. I'm surprised that people would hate their music. i hate prog, mindless technical diddling with no soul or purpose. theres a few yes songs and a few bands had their moments, but i reaaly hate prog

QUOTE(easyw @ Sep 26, 2006 -> 12:20 AM) Rush. Never in history have 3 more talented musicians got together to make such awful music. hahahahaha
