Yesssss! I'm not sure if liking Razorlight makes me cooler, or if they should be considered a guilty pleasure. I think they used to be cool, and now they're sellouts. Or something like that. The Twilight Singers - Roses It's a cover of the Outkast song. Caroline.... she's the reason for the word "bitttttch" :cool:

Bah, they're getting rid of the weak link (that damned quarterback) presently. What they need to do is get that Shanahan running game back. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Damn that Tony Romo. Damn him for giving an example to cite for anyone who thinks changing QBs will suddenly revitalize a team. Oh, and I am so glad Joey Harrington smoked his old team. Serves them right for driving him out and ridiculing his mad piano-playing skills.

Razorlight - Fall to Pieces

Let's quit talking about "The Block," and start talking about how Belichick's defensive schemes are going to fluster Sexy Rexy this Sunday! " Or will Brady lose his cool in the face of that raucous Chicago defense? The only sure loser here is the running game, for both squads.

I have successfully added two musical performances of dubious entertainment value. Uploading was a breeze, LC. :cool:

That sounds... amazing. I am quite partial to turkey, especially for Thanksgiving, but Roast Duck L'Orange was one of the best meals I've ever had. The wife and visited my parents for the big meal. Lots of great food, especially Mom's homemade apple pie ... with loads of vanilla ice cream, of course. Happy Turducken Day!

Baldur's Gate 2! My Berserker/Cleric is getting to be quite the powerhouse. Transferring him from BG1 was a nice bonus, because I got several stat points from reading tomes in the first game. I've got 20 wisdom, 18 strength, 17 constituition, and no stats lower than 10! Right now I'm rolling with Valygar, Yoshi, Jaheira and Nalia. I'll probably pick up Keldorn in the sewers, although I might drop him for Mazzy or one of the user-made sorcerer NPCs when I get the chance. I always pick up Keldorn... it's just so hard to say no to Carsomyr, True Sight and Dispel Magic.

Southeast Engine - Undergrad Best band in Ohio. Disciples of Wilco and Guided By Voices.

Damn.... okay, listening to them back to back like that... well, let's just say I was misguided in my earlier assessment. And okay, so that's the Eric B. and Rakim I always hear about... very, very good stuff. I'm gonna make a big left turn here and post some obscure Tom Waits. This is a song called "It's All Right With Me," off an AIDS benefit album. The video was directed by Jim Jarmusch, and it feature Mr. Waits pulling off some extremely disturbing dance moves.

I've got the RATM "Renegades" CD laying around somewhere. It was hit or miss, like most covers albums. I remember they did "Down on the Street" by Iggy and the Stooges, "Street Fightin Man" by the Stones, and a few fairly obscure hip hop songs, like that "Mic Fiend" song (which was awesome). They also did a cover of Devo's "Beautiful World" that was pretty weak. It was basically Zach venting over a slow Morello strum. Edit: I just remembered there is a jaw-dropping version of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" on that CD. Rage should have covered Springsteen's whole catalog, if their treatment of "Tom Joad" was any indication. ... On second thought, maybe they could skip "Dancing in the Dark." And now, some whiskey-and-amphetamine-fueled southern punk rock, courtesy of the Supersuckers:

Ah, but you always seem to win the pot, Kor. If you know what I mean... BTW, I actually like RATM's version of How I Could Just Kill a Man better than the Cypress Hill original. The Byrds - My Back Pages

This is slick! I will definitely (eventually) contribute to it.

The Afghan Whigs - Uptown Again

Hey happy birthday to you too, Surr-eal Life!

Enjoy this birthday... it may be your last! Da DA DUN! (but we all hope it isn't)

Haha... it's so subtle! But seriously, man, Melechesh doesn't have much to brag about. That Sephiroth, she gets around. Nice pickup, Baley. Bob Dylan - From a Buick 6

He/she/it is now engaged to the poster know as Kate. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow. True love blossoms on an internet message board, amidst discussions of rule interpretations, "phat loot" and whatever else you guys talked about back then.

Wow... that was a bit over the top, eh Neuman?

Yeah, "angry drunks" are a pet peeve of mine. I'm talking about the particular subgenre that wants to go start a fight after having a few drinks. Why get mad? Just put on some good music and play some beer pong, flipcup or your game of choice if you're at home, or just shoot the breeze with your buds if you're at a fine drinking establishment. There's no need to put on your too-tight polo shirt and shove your way to the bar, secretly hoping somebody shoves back so you can "start something." Although I'm ususally a very happy drunk, a few weeks back I almost fell victim to one of these Richards. It was about 2 a.m. My friends and I were in a great mood after a night reminiscent of the old college days. However, as we were leaving the bar, some guy yelled a few smartass remarks my way. Although the prudent course would have been to keep walking, I couldn't resist yelling a few right back at the guy and hoisting my middle finger in his general direction. I don't recall what the guy said, or even what I said in return. But the fact is that he almost goaded me into doing something stupid (I could barely stagger home at that point, let alone throw a punch) and fairly against my nature. Luckily my friends steered me out of the bar without further incident, so no harm was done - either to me, him, or my spotless reputation. :D

Wouldn't hold out much hope for the tape deck, though. Yeah, or the Creedence. Copperhead Road is off uh, Copperhead Road. And any "essential" Steve Earle compilation you could happen to find (There's about 15 of them). It's also got "The Devil's Right Hand" and "Johnny Come Lately" on it, two classic Earle tunes.

Hmm.... what Steve Earle? For latter-day, post-heroin, politically-charged roots-rock (enough hyphens for ya?), I'd say Jerusalem is a good buy. I'm partial to I Feel Alright, although some champion Train a Comin as his best album. You can't go wrong with either. Of course if you can find it, Shut Up and Die Like an Aviator not only has the greatest title for a live album I have ever heard, but it's a great collection of his best pre-jail work. There are a few nice comps out there that have the best tunes from the first few albums, but you probably want to hear it in the original context, as the artist intended, etc. etc. Steve Earle - Valentine's Day

Hey, they did thoroughly beat the Patriots last week. That was a case of a good plan coming together. Hannibal must have loved it. :cool:

Okay, that dude doing the Cannibal Corpse song lounge-style was great. And Mus? was hitting the Twilight Singers, I see. :D NOFX - Reeko

Well, IIRC, Woody punched a heckler on the sidelines. Or maybe it was a journalist, I can't remember. What a coach! Anyway, Buckeyes won it in a hell of a game. Those are definitely the two best teams in the country.
