It's not just the money. There are plenty of professional atheletes who are horrifically overpaid who conduct themselves reasonably, professionally, and courteously. Donovan McNabb comes to mind. As for Terrell Owens, I think the Eagles should do what the Bucs did to Keyshawn Johnson a couple years ago: keep paying him, but tell him to just not even bother playing. Just send him home until February, give him a Super Bowl ring when we win it if he wants one (he'll have earned it by staying far away from the team), and cut his immature ass, which will hopefully be sufficiently humiliated by then.

Same here. But I seem to have a weird way of attracting girls (and being attracted to girls) who are fashion design majors. Or in one case, an actual fashion designer. :confused: Some of those conversations reached dead ends pretty abruptly. :lol:

Michael Jackson isn't a guilty pleasure. Or shouldn't be anyway. Thriller and Off the Wall are two of the greatest albums ever made, if you ask me. My guilty pleasures: - Pabst Blue Ribbon (because I can buy a six-pack of 16 oz cans for $4.75. it doesn't taste TOO bad if it's really really cold) - thefacebook.com - baseball video games - anything with more sugar that it really should have

Just thought I'd get some other people's opinions on this. Here in Philly we can't turn on a TV or pick up a newspaper without being bombarded by his latest idiotic action or statement, so I need some context... do other parts of America have to constantly hear him bitch about his gigantic contract that isn't good enough or whatever other stupid things he's whining about? Can the Eagles suspend him for an entire season... and also cut out his tongue? Screw him, we can win the Super Bowl without him.

I'm glad somebody mentioned Orlando Bloom. He may be the epitome of an actor coasting by on good looks. Everything he's ever done sinks like a stone as soon as he comes onscreen.

I love Woody Harrelson too. He was a good enough actor to play a character named "Woody" on Cheers. :lol: Jude Law isn't very good... his American accent hurts my ears (as much as Matt Damon's British accent in the upcoming Brothers Grimm will probably hurt some of the people here). He's also an adulterous womanizing asshole. But even I'll admit he's a very attractive man. :lol: My contribution is Jeff Goldblum, who is very good at nervous neuroticism and not much else, but who always delights me anyway.

I'm not really a big fan but I did have to laugh at this.

Just because I have a good point. :P We here in Philly have the worst reputation as sports fans in the country (mostly unjustified, by the way... Santa was totally asking for those snowballs), but even we're not dumb enough to fall from the upper deck. :smug: :lol: But look at that picture... it's not the ass-grabbing I'm concerned by... it's the guy on the left with what looks like a metal pole. What could he possibly want to do with that? :uhoh2:

My ass it isn't about Bush. :lol: At any rate, love it or hate it, when was the last time anybody actually paid attention to new music by the Rolling Stones? It's turning out to be a good PR move for them either way.

Only a Yankees fan. :rolleyes:

I'm a fan of Rachmaninov and Stravinsky and Moussorgsky and all those Russian dudes. My favorite opera is "Einstein on the Beach" by Philip Glass, but lots of traditionalists don't even consider that an opera (even though it is one). At any rate it has little to do with classical music, but there it is anyway. :P

I can never decide which is my favorite Kraftwerk album: Autobahn, The Man Machine, or Trans-Europe Express.

Well, you asked for the last CD we bought, not a huge list of everything we've bought in the past 6 weeks or something.

Yeah, everybody go to their website. It's not exactly informative, but I love it anyway. http://www.boardsofcanada.com http://www.music70.com has a little more info on them.

You don't want the opinions of people who think you're an unfair jackass, because people who get that upset over reviews rarely have anything insightful to say about them anyway. But honestly, I more or less agree with the review. Coldplay haven't really done much for me since Parachutes. As for the "Check out this instead" list at the end, I'd move Vespertine to the top and Stars off the list entirely. :P And I had no idea what bling points are for either. :lol:

You can't bring cameras. And the Tweeter Center is the kind of place that will occasionally search you or your bag to make sure you don't have anything.

I know there's another thread for the Arcade Fire already, so I probably shouldn't go bumping this one in the night, but I just wanted to say that a lot of the time, Pitchfork's reviews are amusing because they're bullshit. :P Most of the time though, they're just very long-winded and tedious, with a vastly overestimated sense of their own importance. (What's the difference between an album rated 9.7 and one rated 9.6 anyway?)

I love that site. :lol:

whoa. that's big. lemme shrink that down some and edit.

See how bored I am? I'm actually posting a picture :lol: That's the new Sufjan Stevens on top and Skylarking by XTC on the bottom.

Finally! Somebody actually wrote something ON TOPIC! Thank you! :lol:

GOOOOO uhh.... meh. we here in Philly have got nobody to root for in college football. we're content with an unhealthy obsession over a certain NFL team. :P

Yeah they're in that race because every team in their division sucks terribly. :P

I too want to voice my disapproval of this show, and point out that it basically does nothing but take a big metaphorical shit on everything Michael Hutchence did when he was alive.
