The Postal Service. You can by their stuff on the USPS website :lol:

Another strange post by Thom on DAS. Nothing about the album though...... :cry:

6 months = 60% done So shouldn't it be entirely done in November?

You can thank Edmonton for that one.

DAS has been updated!!! :D

The offseason's a bitch.

Is it just me or does the beginning of The Beatles "If I Needed Someone" sound a lot like Cuttooth? Perhaps it was inspiration?

Straylight Run - The Needles The Space

Here you go! http://rapidshare.com/files/38628133/Straylight_Run.zip.html I got their second album yesterday. It's...different, but it's still quite good.

Radiao? The name looks like Draug to me...

Treefingers is an amazing song. They say it's instrumental, but you can clearly hear voices at 0:47 and 1:34 saying "hello?" and there's some high squeaky voicelike sound that repeats at 5 second intervals starting at 2:14 and 3:13. ;)

Parachutes was released on July 10, 2000 in the UK and on November 7, 2000 in the US. A Rush of Blood to the Head was released on August 26, 2002, which was 2 years, 1 month and 16 days since Parachutes' British release and 1 year, 9 months, and 19 days since its US release. X&Y came out on June 6, 2005, which was 2 years, 9 months and 21 days since AROBTTH. I was hoping for a trend here... haha but I guess, since it's 2 years and 6 days since X&Y, that it will be at least 40 days until the next album...and hopefully, no more than 9 months. I figure it wouldn't take as long as X&Y because of all the massive post-production that went into it. That is assuming that this new album isn't as sonically loaded, of course.

Todd Marchant is from Buffalo and he said in an interview that he's bringing it back here. Woohoo! :D

Hey, at least the team with more Canadians won, right? ; ) I'm glad Scott Niedermayer won the Conn Smythe and then got to hoist the cup first... Now we go to the offseason. This year is gonna be exciting.

^^ Haha i just saw that on Yahoo! That's pretty funny... :laugh3:

Hey I've never seen this thread before! ah well I got some stuff in my sig if anyone wants to take a listen. I did some covers by myself with some decent quality recording software and I also wrote a few things on the computer. http://www.myspace.com/phxmusic

Yeah what an asshole. Scott Niedermayer doesn't deserve that kind of shit. He better get some kind of suspension for that.

So much for a 1 goal lead! Hah wow, I wonder which way the 3rd is gonna go...

Wow, Giguere is on fire! This is crazy...Ottawa has some amazing offense, but the Ducks' defense is just incredible.

Pronger suspended for Game 4 of Stanley Cup finals By IRA PODELL, AP Sports Writer June 3, 2007 OTTAWA (AP) -- Anaheim defenseman Chris Pronger received a one-game suspension Sunday for his hit to the head of Ottawa forward Dean McAmmond in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals. Pronger, also given a one-game ban during the Western Conference finals, leveled McAmmond with a forearm Saturday night in the Ducks' 5-3 loss to the Senators. He will miss Game 4 of the series, that Anaheim leads 2-1, on Monday night. He is eligible to return for Game 5 back in Anaheim on Wednesday. It is the sixth career NHL suspension for the 6-foot-6, 220-pound, hard-hitting All-Star and the second in these playoffs. During the previous round against Detroit, Pronger was banned for Game 4 after his hit to the head of Red Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom against the boards. "The positives that Chris Pronger brings to the table far outweigh the negatives," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said moments after the announcement. "We live with the suspension and we move forward." Pronger wasn't penalized on the ice for either of the hits that led to his suspensions. "A variety of factors were considered in reaching this decision," NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell said. "Mr. Pronger used his forearm to deliver a forceful hit to the head of his opponent. Also, his actions caused injury to his opponent." McAmmond -- seven inches and 30 pounds smaller than Pronger -- was struck as he skated with the puck toward the Ducks net. He did a spin, fell backward, struck his head on the ice, and slid into the corner in the Anaheim zone at 2:01 of the third period. "When I look at it, there are plusses and minuses to 6-foot-6," Campbell said. "Just because you have a height advantage doesn't mean you can deliver an elbow to the head. "To us, an elbow to the head is a dangerous play regardless of the player's size." McAmmond briefly lost consciousness, Senators coach Bryan Murray said, but there was no official announcement that the veteran of 14 NHL seasons sustained a concussion. After receiving medical attention for several minutes, a dazed and woozy McAmmond was helped to the dressing room and didn't return. His status for Game 4 is questionable at best. "McAmmond doesn't look promising," Senators coach Bryan Murray said Sunday before the suspension was levied. Campbell said he had "no doubt" McAmmond was knocked out on the ice. "We think it was totally unintentional. The league thought different," Carlyle said. "Chris Pronger is a competitive player. Some people will say he's using his size as an excuse. "The fact of the matter is his elbows are higher than most people's elbows. It's not like he raised his elbow to deliver a blow to the head." http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=Al5GbN2tME0v7O4089Z00rh7vLYF?slug=ap-stanleycup-prongersuspended&prov=ap&type=lgns I saw the hit, and I definitely don't agree with the suspension. It is, however, a much more suspendable hit than the one on Holmstrom...

If this is the first specific date of release mentioned, then it should be taken with a grain of salt (or two). Anyone remember X&Y? Got moved back a few months in 2005 after it was given a release date...

Hey, it's June... didn't the site go down over a month ago? I thought it was done... I just hope they're stuff about the new album on it when it's revealed.

Penguins' Crosby named youngest captain in NHL history May 31, 2007 PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - Teenage superstar Sidney Crosby became the youngest captain in NHL history Thursday when he was given the honor by the Pittsburgh Penguins. Crosby is 19 years, 297 days. The previous youngest captain in NHL history was Vincent Lecavalier of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who was named in March 2000 at 19 years, 324 days. The Penguins had not had a captain since Mario Lemieux announced his retirement in January 2006. "Sidney has done so much for this franchise in his first two seasons, made so much history, that you have to keep reminding yourself that he is only 19 years old," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said. "But Sid's contributions extend far beyond statistics and his incredible achievements on the ice. "It is obvious to all of us - coaches, players, management, staff - that he has grown into the acknowledged leader of the Pittsburgh Penguins. It is only appropriate that he wears the C as team captain." Six other NHL players in league history were named captain by the age of 21 - Ryan Walter of Washington in 1979, Dale Hawerchuk of Winnipeg in 1984, Steve Yzerman of Detroit in 1986, Kirk Muller of New Jersey in 1987, Trevor Linden of Vancouver in 1991 and Eric Lindros of Philadelphia in 1994. It is yet another milestone for the precocious Crosby, whose brief career often has been marked by "youngest" and "first." He is the youngest player in NHL history to record 100 points in a season and 200 in a career. This season, he became the youngest scoring champion in NHL history with 36 goals and 84 assists for 120 points in 79 games. Crosby played for Team Canada in the 2006 World Championships and became the youngest player to lead that tournament in scoring, collecting 16 points in nine games. The first overall pick in the 2005 draft, Crosby registered 39 goals and 63 assists as a rookie. This season, he led the Penguins to 47 wins and their first playoff berth in six years. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=Ap3MV.91P.r5evjrin9yUzZQ2bYF?slug=stcrosbycaptain&prov=st&type=lgns
