Haha, that song is pretty dumb/great. :lol:

1. I could go for a burger right now... with cheddar cheese 2. George Gershwin is the greatest American songwriter in history 3. Smithwick's Ale is a fine brew 4. I remind myself of Larry King more than is probably healthy when posting in this thread 5. Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in the raincoat

We can dance if we want to We can leave your friends behind 'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance Well they're no friends of mine!

GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR! (followed closely by Do Make Say Think and Broken Social Scene and Fly Pan Am and A Silver Mt. Zion) Oh, and Neil Young. I think he's a dual-citizenship kinda guy though.

Yeah, the SM57 is more of a live mic, like was said earlier, condensers are the best for studio situations, especially with acoustic guitar and piano and vocals. More of an "uncolored" tone from that. I personally would recommend an AKG 414, but those other ones are great too. If you spend the money you're generally going to get something good no matter what brand you go with.

To elaborate one what a couple of people have suggested, I think the attention Oasis get is disproportionate to their talent or even their popularity. If the Gallaghers weren't such foul-mouthed assholes, I'll bet a lot of people wouldn't even remember the name Oasis. That has nothing to do with whether or not they're any good, I'm just saying that you can hardly deny that their constant mouthing off has gotten them some publicity they wouldn't otherwise have.

I was tempted to include the entire second half of X & Y in mine ("Twisted Logic" excluded), but decided not to. :P

Hey!!!!!!!!! I'm from Jersey :angry: I'm j/k :D I like making fun of Jersey...the jersey shore ('sewer beaches'), Turnpike ('highway to hell'), and so on... I didn't know Yo La Tengo was from hoboken...nice to know.. So are you one of the uncivilized folks that drive across the Ben Franklin Bridge blasting Bon Jovi who crowd my fair city every weekend? :P (j/k, since I'm one of the uncivilized folks who crowd your sewer beaches on weekends :lol: )

I'm glad SOMEBODY else saw how dumb the iPod Shuffle was. :lol:

I already mentioned this one recently in another thread, but... eh. The Beach Boys - "Kokomo" Actually there are a number of Beach Boys songs I could pick for this one (when Capitol Records was forcing three records every year out of Brian Wilson, some filler was bound to work its way in), but "Kokomo" earns my ire much more than any of the mundane junk like "Pom Pom Play Girl" and "Do You Remember?" that filled out their early albums. Anyway, that aside: Coldplay - "The Scientist" The Beatles - "Glass Onion" (those self-referential songs always bug me, and Ringo's songs ("Yellow Submarine," anybody?) are too easy targets) XTC - "That's Really Super, Supergirl" The Flaming Lips - "Waitin' For a Superman" (bands shouldn't write songs about super-people, maybe?) This was kinda hard. I keep wanting to include entire albums by bands I like that weren't very good, but that obviously doesn't fit the definition of this thread.

"Special" in the same way that those kids in school who couldn't read were "special." :P Uh... no offense to whoever that comment is bound to piss off. :uhoh2: Anyway, uh... I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One is amazing. And stuff.

Bacon fucking kicks my ass from here to Toledo. Bacon on a burger: unhealthfully delicious.

Me, from New Jersey?! Ew. Yo La Tengo, though... PRIDE OF HOBOKEN.

Yeah. They're the forgotten New Jerseyites that have actually contributed anything to anything.

Yo La Tengo is da bomb. I had a teacher a year ago who knew Yo La Tengo. It was weird. He was talking about some recording equipment or something and said "I have these friends who use this, they're in a band called 'Yo La Tengo,' you might have heard of them." And I said. "UHH.... UHH.... YEAH!"

Gahh!!!!! The new Boards of Canada album is finally finished! I can't express how excited I am about this. October 18 :D

Yeah, anybody who's ever heard an album by Loretta Lynn, or Johnny Cash, or Hank Williams, or Chet Atkins, or Merle Haggard, or even Dolly Parton wouldn't stupidly dismiss that entire genre of music.

I wonder which is better: this or William Hung's new album. :wink3:

You don't need an external sound card. I'd recommend an Mbox or something like it. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/fg=141/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/240469/

http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?ijuz976fexw I decided not to even bother trying to do something new and made a commentary on how the website trivializes art instead. :lol: Sure is fun, though. Also, I'm aware I mispelled Jackson Pollock's name. :embarrased:

coke sucks. put on a glass of coke a meat steak during a week and see what happen with the steak, the same do a coke on your stomach if you drink it a lot. Urban legend alert!!! http://snopes.com/cokelore/tooth.asp http://snopes.com/cokelore/acid.asp Anyway, what will ultimately determine whether or not this Coca-Cola Zero thing sinks or swims will be its taste. I got a bottle today (as I promised), and it more or less does taste like Diet Coke. I do think it's better though. There's less of that weird aftertaste (it's still there... but at least it's diminished). Will I buy it again? I dunno. Maybe I would if I drank excessive amounts of cola, but if I was doing that, I wouldn't be very health-conscious to begin with. I'm just not a diet soda drinker.

My complaint isn't with the boat ride, or the fates of the children, or anything. It's with Depp's Wonka. He's supposed to be eccentric, he's supposed to be "freaky" or "out there" or whatever, but he's not supposed to make me think of an androgynous pedophile. Also, for all the hoopla about this one being closer to the book than the first movie, I sure as hell don't remember reading anything about Willy Wonka's father in the book. (There's Tim Burton's pet issue for you.) Again, I wouldn't say the new one is "bad." If nothing else it's visually stunning, like everything Tim Burton does. But it didn't make me want to see it again.

I'm making it my personal mission to buy a bottle of this stuff tomorrow and report back here. Because I've seen it in stores too, when I go to buy my weekly 20 oz. bottle of Cherry Coke (20 oz. a week puts a cap on the damage that absurdly unhealthy stuff can do to you :lol: ). And it's making me curious. I'm guessing that it simply tastes like Diet Coke, though.
