Good is right. Larry Brown can eat it. :P

Who else didn't figure out what "SitS" was before opening the thread? :blush:

I don't think you're asking the right question. It's not really up for debate whether or not it's illegal (it is), but, like a lot of other things that are illegal, that doesn't necessarily mean it's "wrong," just like there are lots of things that ARE legal that we would consider wrong or immoral (like adultery, for instance). Anyway, all that crap aside, I would go ahead and share them. Because in my opinion, it's one of those things that's illegal that shouldn't be. Or the law should at least be revised.

BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNS

Ian McCulloch's starting to sound pretty desperate there. :lol:

Corgan's solo album has been out for what, a day? I'd be surprised if any of the Pumpkins actually wanted to come back.

"He also assures us he has no plans of ditching his bandmates for solo glory, um, whatever their names are." Nobody knows how to be obnoxious and ask obnoxious questions quite like E!. :rolleyes:

Yeah how exactly does posting a news article in a forum marked for general discussion constitute spam? :confused:

It's actually a beautiful day here in Philadelphia. :smug: (we had our fill of unbearable heat and humidity last week :sweatdrop: )

David Bowie - "Life On Mars?"

I've found that exams, no matter what level, are a lot easier if you simply stop caring about them. :lol: I'm the poster boy for the underachieving student. :rolleyes:

My question is: is it actually good, or is it just good in contrast with the fact that the last few Batman films have been more or less the worst big budget movies in cinematic history? That's a rhetorical question, so don't bother answering it. :P (ten bucks says somebody answers it anyway)

I saw them in a disgustingly hot church basement three years ago with a bunch of sweaty 15 year old emo girls, because a girl I knew said they were good. They were all right I guess. They'll always be associated with underage hipster BO in my mind, though. That sounds disgusting. And it is.

Katie Holmes is converting to scientology too. That Tom Cruise must have brainwashed her good. :shifty:

Hell, they played longer than that the first time I saw them, and they only had one album out at that point. :lol:

a self-portrait, drawn in pencil, based on a picture one of my friends took. i had to draw it to dehumanize it some, because my one eye that was showing in the picture was really freaking me out. like a window into my soul or something. :stunned:

Damn it, we were supposed to get the Rolling Stones. :(

I'm going to echo everybody else's sentiments and say that it's perfectly ok to not think X&Y is the greatest thing since sliced bread. :P

It was also one of the best songs Moby Grape ever made before Led Zeppelin blatantly plagiarized it without giving them credit (as Zep were wont to do). :P Although I have to admit Led Zeppelin's version is FAR superior. :goofy:

Because half the people who steal from Kraftwerk don't know they're stealing from Kraftwerk. When people heard Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock," for instance, everybody thought it was the coolest thing ever, and revolutionized rap music, and all that, and set out imitating it, not knowing that he'd taken the "melody" from Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express" and the rhythm track from "Numbers," and THAT was what they were actually imitating. The other reason is that most people only know a lot about rock or pop music, and Kraftwerk couldn't have been farther from rock, and barely counted as pop most of the time. Electronic music still seems to be regarded by a lot of people as just repetetive trance music for people in raves or something, essentially a mild distraction from "real" music (and this is a generalization, but I think that's especially true among the type of people who would buy Phil Collins records). And I think that carries over in music magazines and music textbooks (I just looked in my popular music history textbook out of curiosity, and Kraftwerk are mentioned twice, both very briefly, once for their influence in hip hop, and once for their influence in the disco movement). To me the suggestion that Phil Collins is somehow more influential than Kraftwerk is hilarious and insulting. :lol: Just listen to them yourself, you might be surprised at how familiar it sounds. That was way longer than it should have been. :rolleyes:

If Coldplay really are the biggest they won't need our help to get them there. :P

The B-52s' "Rock Lobster" is what you're talking about, I believe. "We were on the beach Everybody had matching towels" and so on? It's actually a really cool song. Cool enough that I blew $2 to have it as a ringtone. :P

E - Enigk, Jeremy

I saw Jimmy Page and Robert Plant in concert seven years ago. It's not quite the same as Led Zeppelin, but it's about as close as anybody in my generation will get. :P hubububububububububububububububub let's see here... 1. Dazed and Confused 2. Four Sticks 3. Friends 4. The Ocean 5. When the Levee Breaks That was very hastily assembled.
