  • Word. I'm not shocked or anything...just trying to police it when I see it or at least get a sympathetic "amen" from folks. It's a little frustrating to have to spell it out over a couple of posts. I guess I'm not getting what the big deal is. T…
  • its really strange to see Obama say this, considering that this past friday, he drew 35,000 people to a rally in philly. i live and work in center city philadelphia and it seems as if obama is the only candidate running. there are some honk for h…
  • The "Buy It Now" price is cute.
  • Let me reiterate, does anyone know how to burn audio cds on a mac without importing the tracks into itunes? I don't have a Mac so I don't know any programs, so I can't offer advice in specifics. However, to burn the CDs you need CD burning softwa…
  • The pre-cursor for Universal's Deluxe Edition was their Chronicles series, which included everyone from James Brown to Roy Ayers, The JB's to Keith Emerson and as much rock that went through the Polygram/Universal vaults (Camel). Chronicles also ha…
  • Funny you should mention this, there was a review on Fresh Air yesterday about several new reissues. Apparently, there's a new 2 disc edition of Odelay coming out. I love that album, but I'm wondering if I need to buy another copy of that dang thi…
  • I used to read Goldmine all the time, and to a lesser extent I read Discoveries too. Like a few other people have said, the internet and eBay kind of eliminated my main reason for reading those mags: the ads. There were some good articles in ther…
  • that goddamn "feel the rain on your skin" song. That was a perfectly forgettable, mediocre song until it was in every ad targeted toward women That is an actual song? I guess the flip is there's a lot of real songs used that folks think are jingle…
  • For all my money, nothing can top this one on the creepy scale: And then some other candidates:
  • Hmm...so the topics are being censored, eh? I'm pretty sure I've seen other people posting about this on here but it's the first time I've actually had it happen to me.
  • REAL OBVIOUS EXAMPLES: - "Lean On Me," Bill Withers Yeah, I don't think I really consider that a song within a song. That's just more of a different section of the same song. It's really just a breakdown or a bridge or something.
  • The obvious one to me is "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" by Billy Joel, which is a song inside a song inside a song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scenes_from_an_italian_restaurant
  • This guy shoulda left it in the bedroom in front of the mirror. Has anyone seen people rock a pager nowadays? I'm curious. Yes, amazingly, some people still have pagers. A friend of mine is a net admin for a company and when he's on-call he has t…
  • Add the "You're A Customer" drums to that Enya and then you also have this...
  • Heh... Just ran across this on YouTube. It's T-Pain watching the "Akon Calls T-Pain" video and laughing at it. At least, they claim it's T-Pain, not like I could pick him out of a police lineup.
  • First: The Eagles and Andrew Gold I'll wager Andrew Gold can do a killer 20 minutes Such good hits in that little run on Slip Away/Lonely Boy/Thank You for Being a Friend And then he'd tear out a killer guitar solo! Seriously, check him shr…
  • First: Ella Fitzgerald in Cincinnati in 1984; it was the grand opening of Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati on July 4th. The Cincinnati Pops was the main act and Ella Fitzgerald was the special guest. My parents took my siblings and me to the …
  • I prefer going with the windows down when I can. If it's oppressively hot and nasty out I'm gonna use AC. AC does use more gas, but unless your friends drive around with their windows up when not using AC then they're not saving any money. If you…
  • Aww yeah, check out the t-shirt. It's Satan playing a demonic guitar with a circle of flame tailing off of it, and Satan's standing on a pentagram! Oh, and the pentagram glowed in the dark. What the hell were my parents thinking?! Funniest p…
  • I gotta go with Dionne. Of course, she did have Burt Bacharach songs to work with, and that's a good start to making any singer sound great.
  • I was listening to "Moon Germs" last night as I worked out. Also, finding "Upon This Rock" for $1.50 is one of my favorite finds of all times. I was at a flea market and came across it; the price tag had "as is - water damage" written on it. Afte…
  • I've seen him in concert and I have about 4 of his albums... I also like his drummer Brian Blade a lot so that's another draw for me to listen to Redman. I've always been a big fan of "Freedom In The Groove". I think another one to check is "Beyo…
  • "I pulled up at ten on the D.O.T." - LL Cool J, 'Big Ole Butt' "Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop" - Pearl Jam, 'Better Man' 'Midnight' by A Tribe Called Quest mentions...well, midnight a couple times ""At the sound of…
  • The first time I ever heard "It's Only Love" by ZZ Top I loved the drums on it so I searched online for an mp3 of the song. This was back in the days of Napster or Audiogalaxy or something. The mp3 I downloaded was one of those 80's remixes/re-rec…
  • re-recordings padded out with midi sounds, terrible. wow. my friend is a big ragtime piano fan. he bought a Scott Joplin CD one time and it was fucking MIDI re-creations. and with an awful "piano" sound too. we both just thought it was really funn…
  • not a message board - a newsgroup, one of the old USENET ones. Ya'll are taking me back...especially to some places I never, ever, ever want to go back to. You and me both. I used to frequent alt.rap, and also rec.music.hiphop probably moreso. …
