  1. This deserves a thread of merit but I'll bury it here. NFL Marching Songs I remember this one from my childhood ... they probably still play it in some way shape or form back there. Lou the Toe
  2. well on the other hand she says she's "... not a typical sucker".
  3. I just got this issue as a free promo sub (does anybody really still subscribe to this rag thinking it's gunna be revelatory? - it does help with the morning constitutional tho) and liked the premise of the list in that the first ten profiles are written by musicians (ie: Booker T on Sam Cooke) and the rest feature anecdotal quotes rather than some critics hashing up the bios. Whaddaya want for nuthin.
  4. Having heard interviews with him and having seen him live a few times I tend to think that Don Byron's idea of Don Byron is more than the music.
  5. Talking of the "new" Bond in generational terms I'd say this: went w/ my daughter last night who's first "real" movie was Casino Royale (that whole nutty chair scene sort went above her, thank goodness) and she's been counting the days very literally since we left the theater a couple of years ago. She was completely in her element from the first downshift, digging the White & Keys song and how it worked with the design elements of the shifting sands, getting into the mystery of double and triple agents and very much edge of her seat till near the end when she expressed to me that it had gotten a bit mundane even before the final implosion of the plot - she was spot on. She felt the villain to be nowhere near as creepy and nasty (obviously not taking in the political implications buried within) as in CR and the girls to be a bit less than she anticipated - she only felt for the "slick" one but really got herself into the previous Bond girl and how she shaped Bond for this one. It was still early when we got home and netflix had delivered her request for Goldfinger so we watched that to end the night. The whole "classic" thing doesn't fly with a thirteen year old so while Connery was cool, (she now wants one of them goofy shorty terri cloth robes!) Odd Job the best and while she got some of the triplets of entendre the movie was so slow and campy that it had no appeal for her despite my feelings. The new Daniel Craig Bond is great and I'll take it any day over any of the comicky action movies. And my daughter is beginning her countdown again.
  6. twas merely pulling my poetess from the first post of the deleted thread and then wrapping it all up with an Italian allusion to that infamously maligned chef Rosenthal cat.
  7. Vini, Vidi, Vici, Psychos in Watch City. But if you go to Framingham, Please don't burn the Ziti.
  8. now we know where you hung your ball caps. (had that in our room in college, too. )
  9. bwaaahaha Al! Unfortunately I've had to live with, most recently, the worst album of all time ... AND it's a two CD set. the thing just makes me want to freeking scream every time it's played ... AND it was in my wife's nightstand player for seemingly an eternity so I got to enjoy daily Bono and some bombastic cellos right smack into the uncaffeinated synapses. googoogafugginchew
  10. i used my wife's volumizing shampoo and now i can't hear myself think.
  11. moderator: please move this to the "hot sauce" thread.
  12. Yes - the photo is fine, lettering OK, but the colour!!!! Henry Marquez was the genius who picked the colour. MG looks like it got lost in translation.
  13. so sorry to hear. you were a good dad.
  14. waiting for the Sarah Palin re-issue And don't forget to grab that Bennie Green ST on TIME while yer at it. (Jimmy Forrest instead of IQ)
  15. Time to amend the subtitle.
  16. OK ... for the third day in a row and probably the fifth day in the last week the guy across the street is leaf blowing for not just a few minutes but now more than a half an hour straight. Now I like this neighbor AND we live in the woods (kind of) but this is driving me farrghink crazy. His neighbor has one of the James Bond style back packs that I always wish would misfire and drive him up into the tree tops. So ... Stealthfully put a spoon of sugar in the tank? Buy my own leafblower and fit it with Harley thunderheaders? Place my speakers out the window and go all Noriega on him with a Brotzmann loop!?
  17. I saw that. How are those albums? It depends on how you like Arto. None of this is all that skronky (but all beautifully produced and almost back-groundy at times) and save for 'Salt', the best of the three, they don't quite compare to the brazilly releases previously on Gramavision/BarNone (?) imo. I've always loved that Ambitious Lovers - "Greed" album a lot and sure wished he'd get into some genre busting work like that again. if I had to pull a baker's dozen I'd hit these: PRIZE: pode ficar o nome dela tone interior life INVOKE: uma clemency beija me SALT: habite em mim personagem twins jardim de alma de lama lamina combustive! edit: to add the first track from this I just saw Stolen from Strangers ?? alviverde
  18. also - Arto Lindsay's Righteous Babe label albums are available.
  19. a tip o the filbert to that restorer! here's an image.
  20. oh, and by the way jaybreezie, next time make sure to first start up a thread of "album covers of women wearing lounging animals with hats in their drinks".
  21. damn ... and I was just listening to some Mister Magic and Feels So Good the other day .. I am soooo uncool (and old).
