I kind of like The National, but yeah Deer Tick hasn't clicked with me.

Thanks, pearlysnaps. I think I'll download Cease To Begin tonight.

Wow. I've never made it through the whole album.

Nice WWCD!

I've only heard part of it so far but sounds sweet.

Why take the chance to loose that momentum.

No, I meant that there's no chance it won't happen. I haven't heard any optimism. I agree with you though, why screw it up?

Late4Church wrote:That is of course if they dont strike in 2011!!!!

Not much chance of that. I think it'll be an owners lockout though. Hub Arkush of Pro Football Weekly is on record saying he thinks it will be at least a year, probably more.

Ok, well RevMatt I don't agree but I respect your musical tastes so now I know someone digs it. I too saw U2 a few times in the early days including once at the Park West in Chicago in front of 100 people or so. Loved them then. they jumped the shark for me with The Joshua Tree and I never went back.

I see the list. I see Achtung Baby as #1, I discredit list. Several hours later and that still has me crazy. Does anyone actually like that record? Seriously? I mean I know I get shit for disliking The Joshua Tree, but except for hardcore U2 fans I've never known anyone to like Achtung. Side note:At...

Just got home for an hour or so at my office (first time since my recent issues) and a doctor's appointment. Doctor's appt. went well, everything looks good. As far as work, my boss was great, he has all of my big issues covered and for the most part things are ok. As for the more day to day stuff.....

Ok so here's the gist, it occurs to me that I trust the folks in this community for musical recommendations more than any other source (web, print, etc.) and I know many of you feel the same way. The "Listening" thread has given me more pleasure than I can hardly believe. So with this thre...

I stand corrected. I would have gone with Flip Your Wig in that case.

Heard he was a troublemaker...

OK this is my DUH for today. My cat's name is Prince Albert (don't ask) but I call him Al. Well the big boss from our parent company is name Albert, don' I go and call him Al. And then he has this puzzled look on his face, so then I blurt out "Oh my cat's name is Albert and I call him Al"...

I have 17. what an awful list. Even the bands I like on the list often had the wrong album chosen (Husker Du New Day Rising over Zen Arcade????). Oh and it tops it all off with, not a cherry but a big ol' stinkin' pile of crap in U2's Achtung Baby. Best album of the last 25 years? That album sucks, ...

What's wrong with Green? So, so much. It abandoned the sound that really made them a great band and started the trend of cloying, annoying pop songs that continued with the even more awful Out of Time. Prior to this album R.E.M. was my favorite band. "World Leader Pretend," "I Rememb...

Can't believe I forgot about Glossary Feral Fire. Fantastic album.

Thanks Mr. French, I think she's getting an early start!

Find the new bouncing girl Beantown!

Where's wrekkr btw? He handles the animations around here.

(although having him find the bouncing girl could be dangerous... )

When I was 11 or 12 I thought the words to Venus by the Shocking Blue were this: She's got it, Yeah, baby, she's got it. Well, on your penis, on your fire that you require. As opposed to this: She's got it, Yeah, baby, she's got it. Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire. I also remember...

The vibe hasn't changed! Long live the NC!

Excellent Beantown! Touche!

Should we talk about Black & Blue now?

How about Mary Queen of Arkansas being one of my favorite Springsteen songs?
