(w00t) Okay, one more before I hit the sack. The Rolling Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knocking

I'm double-posting because apparently nobody listens to music at night... well at least it's night here. and if a ship meets your car you know you can't go real far well they could treat you real nice or put a tracking device waaaaaay down insiiiiiiiide (enter menacing guitar riff)

I'm no jazz scholar but I used to listen to the CBC's jazz program when I was in the mood for some laid-back groovin. They played classical music during the day, jazz at night, and indie rock in the wee hours of the morning. BONUS: Canadian news, too, so I can find out what the crazy northerners are plotting! The Libertines - What a Waster

Kor bought a 360! Now you'll get to play all the cool next-gen games!

Rancid - Nihilism These guys are touring again. With them in September and Social D in October it's turning out to be a punk rock fall.

I remember going tape-to-tape to copy my buddies hit cassettes. It seemed like piracy wasn't as big a deal back then. Although I always liked this t-shirt.

I always loved that expression. Oh, and I agree whole-heartedly. Gateway drug, my left eye! The people who have that self-destructive urge to "move on" will move on anyway. I know plenty of people who stayed right in their comfort zone, so to speak.

Reasons the OLGA should stay up: Tab books are generally only available for the reallly big albums, at least as far as I've seen. And I don't want to subscribe to a guitar magazine to get tabs of "rock" songs I don't want to learn (I already know how to get to drop D tuning, and I'm not interested in memorizing solos). The tabs on OLGA have been posted by Joe Guitarists all over the world. Consequentially, many of them are very, very wrong. Who wants to pay for an amateur's first tab that is not even in the same key as the original. That's not exactly a desirable commodity. And most importantly, reading sheet music is hard. It defeats the purpose of an army of youths who picked up a $100 electric guitar to learn how to "rock out." I'm not denying that it's taking money away from some people, most noticably the people who make money teaching kids how to play guitar. I just think it's a valuable resource that shouldn't get kicked off the internet.

Sweet commercial. And Diet Pepsi is quite addictive, while Diet Coke is just a substitute for the real thing. Pun IN-tended.

Neil Young - Cortez the Killer hate was just a legend and war was never known people worked together and they lifted many stones and they carried them to the flatlands but they died along the way and they built up with their bare hands what we still can't do today and i know she's living there and she loves me to this day i still can't remember when or how i lost my way

Now that's rock and roll. Also, The Finn Brothers - Only Talking Sense I don't think they're from Finland. :ph34r:

Wow, I didn't know they put out a best of... I probably won't get it, as I've got most of their CDs already. Cracker - How Can I Live Without You You can still come and bring me coffee in the morning You can still come and make me chicken-fried steak You can live your life with whomever you please to As long as someone takes good care of me You know I don't mind How can I live without you If it means I gotta get a job? How can I live without you If it means I gotta get a job?

Man, I just heard the new Audioslave song. Audioslave - Original Fire I thought they weren't gonna be "political." Still, that doesn't bother me near as much as the fact that I am totally unaffected by this song. I mean, I used to really care about Chris' music. I even liked the first Audioslave album. I just think they're treading water now, and maybe they'll look good by comparison to the rest of "modern rock," but that's a pretty damn shallow victory. Soundgarden - Pretty Noose Am I crazy or is the second song just much, much better?

I used to put "fluent in Spanish" on my resume, because I had several years of it in school. I was far from fluent in reality, however, and my resume-padding came back to bite me in the end. I was asked to call a Mexican company and ask questions about their recent acquisition. That was awkward. Crowded House - Distant Sun

Rumors on 8-track... we must all seem like young whippersnappers to the DLJ. Rocket From the Crypt - Young Livers I'll be damned, they actually made a music video or two! @TN: "All Hands on the Bad One" is a pretty cool S-K song.

Well, the Meat Puppets should help you shake the introspective songs probing the female ... psyche. The Wrens - North to Nothing i'd sing your praises to the devil's face but even fire couldn't dry you out you wouldn't know a good shot if you drank one throws up throws punches throws everybody out

Hey man, those are two respected female singer-songwriters. No harm in listening to them... in moderation. Neko Case in particular has a fantastic voice. She's the real deal, not the Nashville pretenders. I can take DiFranco in smaller doses, though. She had a really great song on a Woody Guthrie tribute CD a while back. Springsteen was on it too (big surprise).

Rancid - Time Bomb

Hell yes, I remember Scatman John! That was probably 7th grade or so for me, back when I spent Sunday morning listening to Rick Dees and the Weekly Top 40. "I'm the Scatman" was a pretty big novelty hit over here. I've never heard this one before, but it sounds pretty close to his other one.

@Checkpoint: Did you know John Lennon said "And Your Bird Can Sing" was the second-worst thing he ever wrote (excluding "Dig a Pony")? I always liked the song myself. @Baley: Eh, don't feel bad. Everybody listened to some bubblegum pop at some point in their lives. Hell, I owned a "Jock Jams" cassette at one point, that included C&C Music Factory and Rob Base's "It Takes Two. i'm not internationally known but i'm known to rock the microphone It did have that "Come Baby Come" song though, which is still kinda sweet, haha.

When I was quite young, I wore that one out to the point where the tape broke. By 5th grade, I was listening to the local country music station. The first tape I bought with my own money was probably Dwight Yoakum's album This Time. I bought it for the song "A Thousand Miles from Nowhere" which I heard on the radio and immediately loved. That album still stands up today, and I still think the cover is really cool. I also had several of Garth Brooks' early albums on tape. I remember Ropin' the Wind was a favorite of mine. My first CD wasn't nearly as "cool," however.... I bought it in '96, I think, when I got my first CD player. Def Lep's ill-advised foray into semi-grunge and industrial music. I still own it, as I refuse to sell back the first CD I ever bought. Plus, there's still a few good songs on there. edit: 'cause one of my pictures disappeared.

I think I've just got dirty dishes on the brain.

Oasis are britpop. Finn - Only Talking Sense <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And damn good Britpop too! Oasis - Some Might Say Some might say it's my favorite Oasis song. "

As any teenager in the mid-90s, there were times I was tempted to give in to my hormone-driven urges to "break stuff." Still, I never bought a Limp Bizkit or Korn record. I wear that admission like a badge of pride. The closest I got to nu metal was going to a P.O.D. concert once when I was 16. I did buy the first Creed CD though, and even told my friends that it was good and they should buy it too. Those guys made some serious music ... about something. As for Bush, well Sixteen Stone was the third CD I ever bought. Sold that sucker back to CD Warehouse probably four years ago. As Dylan said, "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." The Byrds - My Back Pages

Yes. Number one reason QOTSA had a hit with "No One Knows." The drum fills on that track are so sick they're contagious, baby. :cool: Question: Would the Foo Fighters have made it on their own or did they need the jump start of being "the band with the drummer from Nirvana?" Also, have the Foos obliterated Cobain's shadow with their success thus far?
