The Afghan Whigs - John the Baptist I have had the Afghan Whigs' CD "1965" for almost a year now, and it's still in my CD player regularly. It's also definitely on the desert island list. This song in particular would probably be one of my top ten favorite songs, alltime. Anything for a lover Anything for a friend I only wanna see you happy Baby, can't we pretend?

The Twilight Singers - Number Nine (feat. Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees) Devil- Sweet talking fly on the wall Blackberry belle of the ball Just like you told me- I

Repeatedly falling into pits with spikes at the bottom in Sonic the Hedgehog.

Yeah I popped in White Light, White Heat, White Trash again last night - it got me wondering what my favorite SD album is... I can never decide. I actually was listening to my only Stereophonics album, Performance and ****tails, the other day. It's odd that they never got huge, they had some catchy songs that sort of fit with the alternative music of the time. Haha, filter: 1, rational conversation: 0

Social Distortion - I Was Wrong It was me against the world I was sure that I'd win But the world fought back, Punished me for my sins

Finally? Well better late than never. It's a great game, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, only recently have I realized that there is a RPG gamer inside me, struggling to get out. I had hints when I fell in love with Zelda: OoT for the n64 (Inventory? What a novel concept!), but KOTOR (and its successor) inspired me to search out some of these classic party-based RPGs. I've actually been looking forward to playing BG2 for a while, and I'm really enjoying it. Right now, my biggest problem is deciding who I want in my party. There's just so many interesting characters with different capabilities! I better stop before I make everyone nostalgic. The only other Black Isle title in that vein that I've played so far is Fallout 2. I cut my teeth on Doom and Road Rash, so the complexity of the games scared me away (200 spells? THAC0? No thank you sir, I'll take NBA 2K1). I guess it wouldn't be that intimidating for tabletop D&D'ers. Either way, I'm glad I finally rose to the challenge.

Finally got around to buying this "Baldur's Gate 2" game that I hear is pretty good. So far it's living up to the hype.

It is sneaky, but he's obviously much more confident in himself at that point in the films.

I would say my favorite scene would be in RotJ when Luke stops being such a sissy and strides into Jabba's Palace, cloak flowing behind him. It really shows his transformation from a whining little girl (But I wanted to go look for power converters! Waaaaaaaah!) into a Jedi Knight.

I look at the Tony Hawk games like I look at Metallica: it's a wonderful starting point for people just getting into non-top 40 music, because it's so incredibly popular. So you can't knock it, because it's getting kids into metal (or skateboarding in Mr. Birdhouse's case). I never would have sought out Maiden, In Flames or Killswitch Engage if I hadn't heard the Black Album in the weight room in junior high. I never would have bought a skate video if I hadn't loved the Tony Hawk games. I'm sure bajillions of kids have taken it farther than me and actually bought a skateboard and fell down a flight of stairs because they were inspired by the game. Bad Religion - The Handshake (cause I can still be "punk rock" even if I can't ollie )

I'm not actually a skater - I just like watching people skate, especially really good people. Some skate videos are really well done - "The End" by Birdhouse comes to mind. Great music on that one too, especially the use of Propellerheads' Bond riff, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." I did interview a pro BMX'er from Haro Bikes once for the paper though. And I've played all the Tony Hawk games through except THUG2 and the new one. Tom Waits - Clap Hands

When I find myself in times of trouble Hybrid children watch the seas Pray for father roaming, roaming free My first listen to Beatallica was the best laugh I had in about a week. They are satirical geniuses, uncanny impressionists and anyone remotely familiar with the source material should download their songs immediately. It's free. I think it's just www.beatallica.com Beatallica - No Remorseful Reply

It was Misled Youth, a vid that famed skateboarding company Zero released sometime in the late 90s, I think. The soundtrack was great. I remember Jamie Thomas used The Who's "Baba O'Reilly" for his piece, which was fantastic.

I haven't bought an iPod yet because I'm totally content with my 128 MB Nomad. I know if I had an iPod I would be guarding it with my life, which would make me loathe to take it anywhere, which kind of defeats the purpose. I reload it with a different collection of songs every week or so to freshen up my tunes. It just uses one AAA battery, weighs about the same a cigarette lighter and is unnoticable in my jeans pocket. I would just worry about carrying it everywhere, whereas the Nomad is a lot cheaper - and I haven't heard of anyone get mugged for their Nomad. And if it did happen, the mugger(s) would be pretty disappointed. Not that they should be - I'm sure their minds would be blown by my fantastic taste in music. Which includes: Toto - Hold the Line

For a solo show, I'd say "Something Against You," simply because "There Goes My Gun" has backing vocals. Backing vocals can be hard to pull off if it's just you up there. Is it a solo show? By the way, has anyone heard the new Franz Ferdinand? Their last album was very good, and I hear they have a new one out. Tom Waits - Jockey Full of Bourbon

Prowler is awesome.... I first heard that song on a skate video. I couldn't believe it was even Iron Maiden; I hadn't heard any pre-Bruce Dickenson songs before. Right now: Whiskeytown - Top Dollar Blues, The Who - Eminence Front

Two songs have been on loop in my head at work today: The Twilight Singers - Teenage Wristband Whiskeytown - Midway Park

Alice Cooper - Elected I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice I wanna be elected I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce I wanna be elected Kids want a savior, don't need a fake I wanna be elected We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make I wanna be elected, elected, elected. I never lied to you, I've always been cool I wanna be elected I gotta get the vote, and I told you 'bout school I wanna be elected, elected, elected Hallelujah, I wanna be selected By everyone in the United States of America. We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm We're gonna be elected You and me together, young and strong We're gonna be elected, elected, elected Respected, selected, call collected I wanna be elected, elected. "And if I am elected I promise the formation of a new party A third party, the Wild Party! I know we have problems, We got problems right here in Central City, We have problems on the North, South, East and West, New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Everybody has problems, And personally... I don't care."

I got news for ya buddy: there has been about five of these threads in the past, and they won't stop anytime soon. This thread ain't goin nowhere. Uh, Bob Dylan - You Ain't Goin' Nowhere No, even better: Cracker w/Joan Osbourne and Adam Duritz - You Ain't Goin' Nowhere (live)

He didn't write the lyrics, eh? Huh.... Ah well, the music is the best part of that song. On the subject of pixies covers: Pixies - I Can't Forget (Cohen) Pixies - Ain't That Pretty At All (Zevon) And have you (or any of the many Cult of Frank disciples here) heard the FB cover of "Changing of the Guard," a semi-obscure Bob Dylan song? I've been looking for that for a very long time.

I don't think they should count. Why should spammers get a false sense of authority (apologies to our fine moderator) because of a high post count when they haven't contributed anything worthwhile to any threads? Of course the reverse of that is that thoughtful members who make all their insightful contributions in WoT "look like noobs," but anyone who has followed the fora for a while will give respect to those who deserve it. "fora for a" oh man, sometimes I crack myself up.

Let's hear it for the pixies! Ana is great... I never got around to posting the lyrics, which form an anagram for "SURFER." Oh Frank, you're so clever. she's my fave undressing in the sun return to sea - bye forgetting everyone eleven high ride a wave
