Kid Gleason Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 07:39 AM) I like Coke a lot more than Pepsi, but curiously like Diet Pepsi much more than Diet Coke. I feel better now for having confided in someone about that. I'm the same way. But for me, Caffiene Free Diet Pepsi. But if you want to talk about the gods of soda (pop...whatever) world, Cherry Coke is the s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Record giants Sony have awarded a 12-year-old boy a staggering $3.6 million (GBP2 million) four-album deal - 20 times more than CHARLOTTE CHURCH was offered when she was his age. JOSEPH McMANNERS, of Kent, England, is tipped to be the next singing phenomenon to hit the charts with his upcoming album DREAMS. And although he has never had a music lesson, McManners has wowed Sony with his impressive voice and songwriting prowess. He says, "I'd be crazy not to take advantage of an opportunity like this. "But I don't think about the money, I just sing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is Church is an Opera singer. If he is something of the Opera Classical sort, cool. If he is some punk-assed hip-hop rapper/techno pop brat, then f*** them all.

Texsox Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 McManners was first spotted by a BBC Talent Search in 2004 and was selected from 25,000 children to play the part of 'The Little Prince' in the BBC2 screened opera of the same name. The young singer joined the show alongside another former child star Aled Jones, Sir Willard White and Lesley Garrett. A&R executives from Sony BMG watched him during rehearsals which lead to the record deal for the Kent based singer. The album features tracks that Joseph has grown up with and include the likes of 'Bright Eyes' from Watership Down by Mike Batt, 'Where is Love?' from Oliver to works by Rutter, Goodall, Franck and Beethoven. The young singer will be performing in October as part of a Classic FM concert at London's Royal Albert Hall alongside Aled Jones and Joshua Bell. Joseph spoke about the excitement of his new found career saying, "Everything is so exciting at the moment. My school friends back home in Canterbury can't quite believe what I am up to. I can't wait for everyone to hear my new album". Now we all are experts on the boy, the talent, the myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note: I ran a few real cool guitar leads last night in my basement. My son (who is 2) really seemed to like it. He even asked me to play another song. So I understand exactly what this kid is on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The videographer luckily had a TV on his camera (or on something) and he was bouncing between fimling the reception and watching the game! LOL!!! I think there were plenty of static camera shots during that reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy! Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) Major blackout in Los Angeles has occurred. “The blackout came a day after ABC aired a videotape of a purported al-Qaida member making terrorist threats against Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia, on the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.” - Associated Press Although they don’t know the cause of the blackout, officials are saying it isn’t terror-related. Oh. okay. EDIT - this was later blamed on a utility worker who accidentally cut a cable. Oops! Edited September 12, 2005 by Mercy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurray! South Padre Island, TX — located on the Gulf of Mexico — provides 34 miles of absolute fun, including a five-mile stretch of pristine beaches and no relatives. A perennial spring break favorite, South Padre Island also offers plenty of great opportunities for the family vacationer and sport fishermen. The Gulf provides a terrific atmosphere for unbelievable deep-sea fishing and plenty of other water activities. Hotels and resorts sponsor spring break contests and events, and Mexico provides another area of exploration, as the border is only 30 minutes away... South Padre Island is the ultimate beach vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) No relatives?!?!?!?!?! Hell yes! Sign me up! EDIT: In reality, the free ticket will be used to go to another wedding in my friend's never ending quest to remind me of my singleness. . .
