Staples is on for February and I'd like a shot at early tix. :noclue:

They should play 2 shows at the Forum instead of Staples. That place is way too big. The Forum is so much better.

Awesome! Some of those sound like they could be modern Perry with the cheesy song intro worked in but he was funny as shit sometimes too.

Re: A poignant article

Thanks for sharing this Bandit. I just turned 40 this year and it's got me thinking a lot about what I've done so far with my life and what else I'd like to accomplish. I actually felt pretty good about where I am on most of those points but I definitely could do a better job of nurturing my friends...

Re: Your fave Christmas songs?

I'm not a fan of traditional Christmas music. Too many years playing in the school band to endure another version of Sleigh Ride or Jingle Bells.

Here's one I do like.

Re: Broken People

i hate all 3 songs that they wrote with Duff. what does that say about me? My least faves on the new record too. Broken People is IMHO the worst song in their entire catalog. How anyone can listen to Superhero and say that is beyond me. It's not the greatest song, but it's not cringe inducing. I ca...

Re: Ken Russell - R.I.P.

Altered States is one of my faves. When I was a kid I somehow got my hands on a copy of Crimes of Passion. Not as trippy as some of his others but definitely another good.

Never heard of these two you posted Pandemonium. Thanks. Just added Gothic my Netflix queue. The Devils wasn't listed.

Re: So, uh, seen any good movies lately?

Watched a bunch of stuff via Netflix this weekend: PJ20 - very cool doc on Pearl Jam directed by Cameron Crowe. Lots of footage and tracks I've never seen/heard (I'm not a die-hard PJ fan) and really cool insight into the band and how they've kept it together through the years Blue Valentine - the p...

Re: Ipod on random or whole CD

For bands that are my old school faves and I already have their back catalog in a hard format I continue to buy CDs but for most new artists I've gotten into I've bought their music on iTunes. I always buy full albums and have never purchased single songs. I love my iPod and the ability to carry aro...

Re: You know what would be great? 4 words...

I've always thought the years between 86 and 91 would make a great movie too. Not sure who should be cast though. I probably go with a cast of unknowns and have the movie end with the opening night Lolla fist fight.

It's true. Him, not good. Fact. Nothing controversial about sucking at what you get praised for. Look at Kurt Cobain. He couldn't play guitar either. Listen to Machine Gun and tell me Dave wasn't influence by him. BTW Dave also played in a Hendrix tribute thing in San Diego a while back and couldn'...
