Enjoying my cd quite a bit so far! How was the show last night, BF?

Ahoy me hearties! It's that wonderful day once again where we all swab the decks, walk the planks, and talk like Pirates!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Arrived today - it's a beauty! Very much comparable to the Beatles mono box in craftmanship.

Agreed. I think it's a subjective interpretation.

Scam.

If only we were all midgets. Then we could go out as Mini-Tallica. That'd be awesome. Maybe you're on to something with the mini thing.

Heaven, Im in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When were out together dancing cheek to cheek

I don't think pictures are necessary in signatures at all. They just distract from the flow of the discussion.

I may have to jump on this one. Sigh. Does anyone happen to know (Matthew, I think you picked this one up already?) if the Song Remains the Same set in this box is the SAME as the recent expanded reissue?

If Murphy had gotten two feet down like he did, and then got knocked out of bounds (instead of to the ground in the end zone) and then hit the ground and the same thing happened with the ball, I think the refs would have called that a catch.

Just like Buffalo did, huh? Yep and Yep! The rule is fine, but it's the interpretation of "going to the ground" that leaves things wide open, for people who think that was a touchdown, and for people that don't. "Going to the ground" gives me a mental image of a guy who's diving, almost horizontal, or at least...diagonal when he's catching the ball. That wasn't the case with Murphy. After the catch and two feet down, he was knocked to the ground by the defender, sure. But at that point it didn't matter anymore - the play was over. I still say it was a touchdown.

That's my favorite Trebek bit! (Conn been hitting the cheap beer early tonight!)

Tour starts tonight in Seattle. Anybody in that area going to see them? BF, love to hear your thoughts about the show on Friday night after you get a chance to digest it. Did you pick up the CD yet?

Happy Birthday!

I'm not sure there's really one answer. It is a more limited pressing than the stereo cds, and it is also a "better" box, IMO. The mono's mini-lp sleeves are much nicer than the digipaks on the stereo discs. The discs have individual plastic sleeves, and cardboard sleeves, as well as a plastic sleeve for the lp sleeve as well. Plus the mono box has a separate booklet, whereas the stereo box doesn't (but it does have individual booklets for those). I don't think it has to do with the mastering being any more expensive, though I could be wrong.

That was pretty clearly a Raiders touchdown. They got robbed.

That's the key play of the game though. McKelvin doesn't run that out, and the Bills likely win the game. Edwards outplayed Brady tonight, IMO. Brady was definitely rusty, and he had to throw more passes than "normal" because of being behind. That's where a chunk of that yardage came from that statistically made the Pats look better. And yes, I agree with you, the Pats will continue to get better as the season goes along. Brady was rusty tonight. But I think the Bills deserved to win, save for McKelvin's bonehead decision.

Jeff Garcia is back with the Eagles! I suppose it's too much to hope that he can be even half as magical again. I think that may be too much to hope for. I'm guessing he's the backup to Kolb this week, and then either McNabb comes back or Vick takes over until McNabb's healthy. Garcia may not even play.

That.

McKelvin may have lost this game for the Bills. They outplayed the Pats on their home turf.

Seemed to be coming for a while, but still sad to hear that Patrick Swayze has passed away. While he was never my favorite actor by any means, he seemed like a likable guy. Roadhouse is still a guilty pleasure. And his Chippendales skit with Chris Farley on SNL is a classic. R.I.P. Patrick.

I wouldn't necessarily get these next, but I really enjoy some of the RCA titles and second their recommendations - Quartets with Jim Hall, Our Man in Jazz, and Sonny Meets Hawk!.

You're forgetting that Buffalo now has Terrell Owens!

Happy Birthday!
