Holly shit, i thought i had a good deal at 90 $ -
In some case, maybe the more appropriate term would be Country revivalists, because they seem to try to carry the old tradition instead of creating a new form of music.

Baseball Steroid Thread
Van Basten II replied to Brownian Motion's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Here's a take on the subject by one of our iconoclastic local writer Pierre Foglia who generally covers le Tour de France. SPLASHED ! - It's now baseball's turn to find itself rolled into scandal. More than 80 players named, some big stars. Bonds we already knew. But also Roger Clemens, Miguel Tejada and "our own" Eric Gagné. Steroids, Growth hormones. Some evidences. Some testimonies. Sanctions? Who knows. We will see. We will study each case separately. Suspensions? For the moment, none. Measures? Yes, one. Listen carefully, it is kinda funny: in the future, players will no longer be warned of controls 24 hours in advance! They were warned in advance! Ya know much how they woulda caught without warning ... It's been 10 years, since the Festina affair in 1998, that i get asked if i'm not ashamed of covering the bike dudes, "this fucking sport full of juiced guys". We just did twice a primetime show lasting an hour about Geneviève Jeanson, girl's biking for Christ's sake ! An event even less followed than curling. Two hours. They get Eric Gagné, best pitcher in 2003, baseball national pastime of 300 millions Yanks, Eric Gagné from Mascouche. Loaded on Growth Hormones. My newspaper title : Eric Gagné splashed. You understand what it means splashed? That means it is not even his fault. There was some mud on the ground, he was there by chance, he ended up having it all over his clothes. Poor bastard. Genevieve Jeanson, she has cheated, she's a conniving cunt. Gagné? He was splashed, poor guy. We should understand, in a world of drug addicts, he had to make a living: 10 millions per year. Gagné has been hired by the Milwaukee Brewers. Are they overburdened? Dismayed? Nope. They are only a little bit disappointed. Will they suspend their new acquisition? No, so what? Gagné was traded to the Boston Red Sox, who just won the World Series. Did they know that Gagné was loaded on growth hormones, yeah, so what ? It's decided, this year i'm covering baseball. I find them way cooler than the bike dudes -
I don't think the artists had anything to do with the label alt country, it's writers who coined the term to differenciate them from the mainstream country acts.

Pro sports are not good for health period. We can make rules to reduce risks but that's about it. There still will be muscles or bones that will be overtaxed by making repetitious movements that our body is not accustomed to. -

Baseball Steroid Thread
Van Basten II replied to Brownian Motion's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Ultimately it's up the the athletes to decide whether they should use drugs to get into the big leagues. If they're for the most part willing to risk their health to play or remain in the Major League, it's their life. For my part, i don't need breaking home run record season to follow the game, so whether they use or not is their collective choice. -
Since this thread has turned into an Emmylou thread, i strongly recommend the boxset Songbird if you're into the lady. Very interesting booklet with a lot of pictures of the lady. Only negative about it is it gets tricky to pull out the cds without damaging them.

Some interesting games this weekend. My Werder Bremen will host Bayer Leverkussen, not only those teams are respectively 2nd and fourth in the rankings but they are among the two of the three best offenses in the Bundesliga. Later we will be able to see Valencia receiving Barcelona. By the way current head coach Frank Rykjaard is rumoured to take the head of the Bayern for the next season. Sunday should be an all English affair with Liverpool and MU fighting off followed by London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal. Too bad, can't see the first game thanks to my lame cable provider. -

You basically resumed my feelings, minus some spelling errors and poor syntax that i would obviously have made. -

Uneven Lyon finally pulled out a good performance to win what was a nailbiter for 85 minutes before Benzema put the game away for the only French side remaining. Here are the qualified teams for the next round Olympiakos Fenerbahçe Celtic Liverpool Chelsea MU Arsenal Roma Inter Milan AC Milan Barcelona Real Madrid Sevilla Lyon Porto Shalke The big three has plenty of members with 10 out of 12 going through only Lazio and Valencia have missed the cut. The next group composed of Germany, France and Portugal have only one respective representative while the rest of Europe occupies the three remaining spots. If the UK will be absent of the next Euro they sure will be busy this spring with 5 representatives. Next step december the 21st with the draw of the first knockout round. -
Future of jazz music - PLEASE READ!
Van Basten II replied to jazzman123's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
I have a problem with the question number 5. If i was interested in music that tries to be popular i wouldn't listen to jazz at the first place. I don't give a flying fart about how jazz could become more popular. My interest in music is music not music sales anf i certainly don't care whether people enjoy the music i'm listening. -

Does that mean they send candy and flowers after they screw...? Reminds me of this joke Why do blondes watch porn movies until the end ? Because they always hope that at the end the guy proposes the girl.

Dissapointing evening of footy for yours truly, both games i saw were one sided affairs. Real against Lazio and the Liverpool easy win over Marseille. In my book Marseille deserved to lose just for wearing those kits that even color blind people would refuse to do anything with them. To make it worse, Bremen got also drubbed and will settle for the UEFA Cup. -
Well that explains a lot

Piece number 10 He sure can play with a higher tempo, let's hope the next piece of his recital was a ballad. Gotta say i'm curious about this pianist.
