We have very similar views, Joe.

Why bother to include Public Enemy? I would argue that it isn't even close to the best rap album of the 80s and contextually doesn't belong next to the other albums on the list in any way, shape, or form.

Imagine you are an Mbuti tribesman who has resided in the African jungle for all of his years. Upon death you arrive at the Christian incarnation of heaven's gates, where Saint Peter begins the interrogation. You are asked if you have accepted Christ as your savior, to which you can't respond since you can't understand any of the language you are being addressed with. Do you burn in Hell by virtue of having no contact with the Christian world? Imagine you are a Buddhist Monk who has grown up in the very successful Asian society with its own history and own religious identity and own sense of spirituality. All of the authoritative figures of your Buddhist society share your religious views. Are you really going to take a foreign, European religious identity over the one that has been established in your society for thousands of years? God hates Buddhists and Muslims and Hindus and those isolated from Christianity? I declare shenanigans.

I just got this one recently and have enjoyed it a lot--more than Hub-Tones or Hub Cap or even Open Sesame. My favorite stuff since the CTI dates Red Clay, Straight Life, and Sky Dive. I plan on picking up Breaking Point and Ready For Freddie too.

No doubt Free For All. I just grin and bear it.

I share Rainy's frustration with tailgaters. Many accidents would be avoided if people wouldn't follow so close. I try to drive using the correct amount of carlengths to separate myself from those ahead of me--1 for every 10mph. I'm always amazed to see people flying down the freeway right on someone else's ass, BEGGING to have a horrible wreck. Even if the idiot in front of you is doing 60mph in the fastlane holding up traffic because the slow lane is full of 18 wheelers, it isn't worth risking your safety to get so close to another vehicle while travelling at such high speeds. The moron in front of you is already willing to do everyone the disfavor of driving so slow, who knows what else the numbskull might do? Here I preach like mad, yet sometimes I catch myself doing the same stupid driving. My dad has a phrase for it, "IN A HURRY." He would say it to us all the time if we rushed to do something and hurt ourselves/broke something/etc. and we knew he was right. Problem is, you mess up once out there driving and you're a stain on the highway. So, while I'm driving correctly, there's always that one self-important asshole who feels he must get where he's going ONE CAR FASTER and wedges his piece of shit car right in front of me, endangering himself, myself, and the person in front of me. Bane of my driving existence, you deserve the wreck you will eventually get in! I hope it doesn't involve me.

Kicking the perv's ass I can see. However, cramming a stick up the peeping Tom's ass made perverts out of the posse.

I got my copies today, disc one is playing as I type. Thanks Dan!

I used to work with Sammy's STEPson Mark Davis--who oddly enough looks very similar to Sammy. Coincidentally I just saw Mark being interviewed on Sammy's E! True Hollywood Story while eating lunch...

How DEEP are we talking?

Did I mention I'm VERY single? Maybe it's the ball cap that turns all the ladies off. My hair is clean under my cap. I don't want my hats to smell!

I've got a ball cap on right now...

Welcome aboard, MLM. Count me in as a Burton fan! I need to get his first two, and some of the recs here apparently.

I have to update my browser to use the search function (not that I can find the "advanced" search page anyway). They pretty much killed it for me.

How 'bout an all white suit with a matching hat? You'd think this dazzy cat was Cuban. Andre 3000 bit his whole look from George Clinton, but even he didn't take it the extra step to the pink bikini briefs like Kool Keith...

Thanks guys. I'm definitely much more into whole albums than greatest hits. I might look for these on used vinyl!

I went with "Miles Runs The Voodoo Down."

Wouldn't you know it, OOP. As if I didn't run into that problem enough. Ikea has these other ones for $50 each, but I'd have to buy 9 of them. So...the sleeves might be a better call for me. Then again I might save up and do those Can-Am cabinets--those aren't cheap!

Your cabinets are nice, Claude. Were they pricey?

http://www.can-am.ca/cdvideo.htm Found 'em! I might order a 2700 capacity set up.

Anyone have that link to those slick metal cabinets for jewel cases someone posted a while back?

I've always liked tunes like "Once In A Lifetime" and "Burning Down The House," but never got around to hearing their whole albums. What would be the best Talking Heads albums to get?

At least they're not these bad boys: http://www.sasionline.org/antsfiles/pages/.../bulletbio.html

I don't cheer for any team but the Raiders. They will suck this year, I hear.
