Wait a minute...scroll back! Did he say "Finger Popin'"???

"Sonic Skip" sounds like a really bad name for a CD...

Okay, time to clue in the old guy again...what the heck is an anorak??

Hmmm. Lot's of good stuff mentioned on this thread, but I guess it's a difference in perspective. Most of the stuff mentioned that I like I see in no way as a "70s rock responce to 80s New Wave". I mean, come on; the ska revival? That was as much a part of the New Wave scene as the B52s, not a response to it. Or did the drugs do that much damage to my memories of the times?

YEAH!! I love that first David Gilmour disc. Much more than any of the various Floyd projects (from either "side") since the Wall. Hmm. Maybe since Wish You Were Here...

Nope. One guy gives it 5 stars, and one guy gives it 1 star. I must admit, the one star guy had a point...

Well, having done my time behind the customer service counter, I could give you any number of horror stories about the customers who try to run scams, screw the store, etc. (my favorite was the guy who brought me the receipt for his new shower curtain that he'd bought the week before and then pulled his old torn, mildewed curtain out of the bag. ), but that really has nothing to do with this. If a store employee can't seperate the extremely rare customer that should be shown the door from the 99.9% that should be treated curteously and quickly have their problems taken care of, then they have serious problems. As for the original question, I would most certainly cancel my order immediately, and watch my credit card bill for "accidental" charges. If it's a family owned business, there's not much you can do past that, except tell everyone you know who needs glasses, contact the local media, the Better Business Bureau, etc. if you want to make a BIG stink. I can't believe he actually came to your home, agent! What a jerk!

Oops! Sorry guys, but I thought I was tellin' a funny... Jim's right; that quote is NOT from the article. Please do NOT write Jazzreview to inform them that only axe murderers and exotic dancers are welcome and that musicboy has been dealt with severely!!

Yep, once a week for me. That way I don't forget. "Sunday is fresh blade day!!!"

RT, none of this stuff (other than Bowie!) made it to the station I was listening to. Can't remember the call letters right now, but I'm sure other Bay Area residents remember the Quake. (KQAK maybe? I dunno...) It was new wave all the time, from the peak on into the period when I, for one, started thinking "isn't this starting to sound suspiciously like the disco stuff we were trying to get away from???" The odd think about the station was when it was sold and changed formats. Like a lot of stations in this situation, they wanted to run off the old crowd for a fresh start, so they started playing something weird to scare off the crowds. What did they pick? God, I can remember it now, with reverence even: "All Eno, all the time!" And it was!! For three days or so, it was the most incredible radio experience I've ever known...

Went with Kenny, but only because I assumed Grant had enough votes already...

Interesting. I sold the Conn, regretted it, and recently got the TOCJ...

"While the band is outstanding, their website contains one of the most bizarre bulletin boards around, comprised primarily it seems, of axe murderers, pedophiles, and the occasional exotic dancer." Nah, I don't even know what "jazzreview" is.

Something tells me that I'm not gonna find that under the tree when I wake up...

Yup. Took me a while to figure it out, but that's it. I buy music that grabs you by the throat and forces you to listen; she buys music that starts to tap you on your shoulder but then shrugs apologetically...

Sorry, RT, but I was firmly in the New Wave camp at the time. I thought The Firm sucked the big one. I never warmed to Rush. It's strange, but most of my friends in the 80s were listening to Ozzie, Robert Plant, etc. at the time, which I couldn't stand. I mean, jeez, archeology is interesting, but I didn't want to listen to dinosaurs...

Now there's an aspect to this we haven't discussed yet. I also shave at night before going to bed. I figure it's more important to have a close shave when I'm snugglin' up to Mrs. Moose than when I go to work...

Jim, your initial post was in the right forum, it just seemed that many can't seem to remember which forum they're in once the thread developed...

Uh...just check out the review, Free For All; let's just say you've hit the nail on the head!

Could we please get this thread to the next page? Everytime I see that medical condition, I think of Zero Mostel's character in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum; it's driving me nuts!

Now that sounds like a close shave! Someone find this man a razor!!

Gasp! Finding...this...difficult to...type....but I completely agree with you, Berigan! These two threads should be moved to the political forum.

Just to get things started, I just checked, and Mrs. Moose also uses Skintimate shaving cream, and some weirdass razor with a handle wider than the blade! Apparently, they last quite a while or are bought one at a time; I only see one, and can't find a brand name on it...

No shit! Whoever came up with the idea of "after shave lotion" must hate men as much as fashion designers hate women!
