ESPN has mentioned the Cubs like 8 times already in this AL Central vs NL West matchup.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) G. Love he's great live Saw them in 1998. Awesome show... his bootleg stuff that he sells at shows are pretty damn good, but again he's an artist who's past his peak.

Travis' first album "Good Feeling" came up in 1996 or 1997, after The Bends. Their breakout single in the UK was "All I wanna Do is Rock" which was a lot better in its original form as "All I wanna Do is f***"

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 07:06 PM) I wouldn't trust it merely because it would be run by the government. The waste and fraud would rival that is any current federal moneypit, probably topping the next 2 or 3 combined. It's bad enough they run my retirement, try to run my business and keep trying to intrude into my life, get out of my doctors office. Neither party is very good about getting out of the doctor's office. Just ask the people trying to protect the medical records at Planned Parenthood.

Wasn't Summerteeth before Being There? or was that A.M.? Travis developed their own sound, thank you very much... their first album (Good Feeling) didn't do so great in the U.S. because they hadn't found their voice yet - it was just generic alt-rock with shades of brilliant talent much like Pablo Honey was for Radiohead. Travis found their voice with "The Man Who" and then released a couple albums that were poor xerox copies of that album. On the other hand, Coldplay started out sounding a lot more like Radiohead than Travis and kind of became a combination of the two acts stylistically although their sound is much larger and wider in scope. The britpop imitator of the moment is Keane. I thought they were Coldplay, they even kinda look like em.

I saw Judas Priest last weekend, and then saw a small show at the Bitter End in NYC, Autumn Under Echoes (good) and Sputnik's Down (terrible.) G Love and Special Sauce come to the Jersey Shore July 8 at Surf Club in Seaside. Tegan and Sara come to Stone Pony in Asbury July 13. Brian Wilson and his Orchestra come to do Smile live at the PNCBankArtsCenter in August.

The real question is: who isn't? This dude literally will make s*** up to win an argument.

All because he can't remember if he found her at 4.30, 5 AM or 5.40 when he called 911. You've been up all night and your wife has just had what appears to be a massive stroke. Do you know what time it is?

As long as we're headed there... Florida had its first near hurricane in June this year. This could be a banner year for God's wrath in the sunshine state.

*rimshot*

Governor Jeb Bush is now asking Michael Schiavo to be investigated because he wants to know why it took him so long to call 911 when she collapsed. Why won't people let this go?

Impeachment requires a party in control of Congress willing to throw the President overboard. In today's partisan Senate, if Bush had a D after his name, you might be right. Today, its *yawn.* After all, look at Tom DeLay. Still kicking. Sadly.

But sadly, that doesn't fit into the "he said nazi" narrative.

Mapquest used to... but I've been wondering the same thing lately.... DeLorme maybe?>

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) It's making an opinion based on a video, not examining a patient and making an informed diagnosis. He stated that's what he was doing. That's like taking a video of you opening your mouth, saying ah, and sending to your dentist. He did make law based on it. I guess that's better ?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) Yeah silly me what was I thinking. He wasn't comparing servicement to Nazi's at all. Only George Bush is a Nazi. I should know better than that by now. :rolly I really hope you forgot the green.

More context: Here's the full relevant quote:

Just cause doing something makes you a douchebag, doesn't mean it should be against the law to do it.

I believe in the freedom to express your patriotism, or your disappointment in this country with the flag of this country. Because I believe in the freedom of expression, that we generally agree is a founding principle of this country. To adbridge that freedom in any way - especially when it does not cause physical harm or danger to anyone else - is patently unAmerican.

Yeah, because Congress has been all about investigating Republicans lately.

The Drag Queen thing is pretty freaking hysterical.

All the people that tried to feed Terri Schiavo in those last couple weeks would have just choked her to death.

He wants to erect a statue in Laramie Wyoming memorializing the death of Matthew Shephard. With a plaque that says that he got what he deserved.
