I can now be found at my exotic Northern Ohio locale, although info and a picture will have to wait until I'm not at work.

Vashanti, that was an extremely accurate description of a guitar flourish.

Yeah, he is an arrogant jerk. And he'd do well to not record every single song he writes. And that beard... well it's just ridiculous. But, that voice! Oh, baby, why.... do I miss you like I do? He's on the right track to go back to the country side of things. I thought Cold Roses was a nice return to form, although I guess he's released another album since that one came out not even a year ago. The Killers - Andy, You're a Star Didn't Charles Mingus just die recently?

Whiskeytown - Top Dollar Blues "Faithless Street" is a damn good album.

Two tunes: R.E.M. - Talk About the Passion Cracker - The Golden Age

Sega Genesis, with Sonic the Hedgehog. Also up there, from a little further in the past: ThunderCats Cats Lair, with Special Laser Action!

Third Eye Blind - Jumper I just love that spot where the drum breakdown leads into the rhythm guitar busting in with the chords and then a full-fledged guitar solo. Definitely my favorite song of theirs. Haha, yeah Kor I'm back where I belong - in the music thread.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Timorous Me

^ Hell yeah! I used to play that one on guitar all the time. The Use your Illusion albums are classic. G 'n R - Yesterdays

Cheers to 100 pages of music! But now a warning... If they strike this thread down, it will only rise again, becoming more powerful than they could possilbly imagine. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - There She Goes, My Beautiful World

Nerf Herder - Vivian Electronic drums and synthesizers Angular haircuts and black eyeliner We'll start a new wave band And then I'll make you mine You'll play the keyboards And everything will be alright We'll show the soc's We'll show the jocks We'll show the heshers We can't be stopped Come on Vivian Put your glasses on Yeah you've gone away to med school And I've gone out of my mind Flock of Seagulls really busted out Haysi Fantayzee made all of the kids shout We've got a microphone and its made out of plastic We've got a show tonight, it's gonna be classic We'll take on the world and MTV We'll rock the Math club Christmas party Come on Vivian Put your glasses on Yeah you've gone away to med school And I've gone out of my mind Put 'em on...

If you go, I will surely die... Beautiful song, one of my favorite pixies numbers. Right now: Louis XIV - A Letter to Dominique

Heh... I haven't seen him here since that alt-account, multiple-post Olympics a while back.

The Wallflowers - Nearly Beloved

Warren Zevon - Studebaker I left my home in Monterey Just another low prospects man I'd rather work in the foundry Than put fishes in a can I'm 35, and I haven't traveled far And I've spent all my money on this misbegotten car I'm up against it all Like a leaf against the wind And my Studebaker keeps on breaking down again My Studebaker keeps breaking down again I thought I'd go to Fresno Just to see my friend But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again I was speeding south on 99 When the manifold started smokin' I ran her off the shoulder And now the axel's broken It made a sound that cracked my heart in half And with only a half a half pint of vodka left I'm up against it all Like a leaf against the wind And my Studebaker keeps on breaking down again My Studebaker keeps breaking down again I thought I'd go to Fresno Just to see my friend But this damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

Thanks, Kor, I thought it might be up your alley! If anybody else wants some of the Rock :cool:, send me a PM. I'd link a website, but we don't have one. Last three songs: R.E.M. - Find the River Third Eye Blind - Jumper Buffalo Tom - Sunday Night

I thought Fable was decent - they had a decent amount of customization, but it isn't exactly as open-ended as the Black Isle devotees would like. The quests were kind of blah, and the storyline wasn't too hot. For what it's worth the gameplay was fun. I know a pretty standard complaint about Fable is that it is too short. One of the reasons it seems so short is as you level up your character in skills, etc., you can barely max out one or two things. If you attempt a well-balanced character, you truly won't excel at anything. There were some cool weapons and other inventory type things to buy and sell. It's just hard to live up to something that's been in development so long. :cough, DNF, cough:

R.E.M. - Pop Song '89 Should we talk about the weather? Or should we talk about the government?

"Enjoy Every Sandwich," the Warren Zevon tribute album. There's some real gems on there, but the one that just blows my mind is by his son, Jordan. He sounds just like his old man. Jordan Zevon - Studebaker

As far as Zeppelin cover bands go, Dread Zeppelin takes the proverbial cake. It's Zeppelin songs played in a reggae style, with a former Elvis impersonator singing. Their version of Heartbreaker splices "Hound Dog" and "Heartbreak Hotel" into the song, never losing that reggae groove. Fun fact: The album was released in 1990, predating the "mash-up" trend by almost 15 years.

Man, Dr. David Thorpe is always funny. I haven't read SA in a while, but that was gold. As was his take on the best albums ever... "Exile on Main Street? More like Exile on LAME Street!" It's a groaner, but I used to do stupid stuff like that allllll the time. BTW: Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey

Twilight Singers - Martin Eden Black out the windows It's party time

The Who - Eminence Front

Does Opeth have a female vocalist? I think I might have heard them before, but I might be confusing them with another band. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - I Let Love In

You guys and your scary metal music. I can only take so much of that stuff, but I do enjoy a few undeniably talented bands. Type O Negative's "October Rust" CD is pretty powerful stuff. Maybe it's their Beatles influence. Type O Negative - Burnt Flowers Fallen
