Wow... they have an incredible site up now with info on the remaster, as well as streaming alternate takes, live versions and demos... http://thecuredisintegration.com/bin/ very, very cool.

Yeah, that's true, but the Suns always put up quite a fight in their series against the Spurs. And yes, Tim is awesome. Also, Tony and Manu! :P Everyone's always down on the Spurs for their playing style, but it's served them well! Congrats to the Suns. I wasn't horribly surprised by the sweep... I was kinda not expecting them to even get past the Mavs this year. I hope they can regroup and come back stronger next year... .though they are getting older. And yeah, I have to admit, Steve Nash is pretty awesome. I couldn't believe he was essentially playing with one eye the other night! He always gets beat up against the Spurs! Well, guys, my team is out and I really don't care enough to keep watching, so here's where I check out of the playoffs. Good luck to the Suns! :D (i'm hoping it's a Celtics/Suns Final!)

^Michael, I've never actually heard a lot of their stuff, but I LOVE Neko Case. What do you recommend I start with?

gah! this thread just kills me every time! :dead:

wow, Marisa and Brooke, that was one seriously beautiful run of pics you did earlier! :wacky: I don't know if anyone's still hanging out, but I just wanted to say hi! :)

thanks for posting that. I've only heard Blue Skies by them before and I absolutely love it. The video is gorgeous. I thought "Our Window" was also really lovely, but so sad!

Just got the CD yesterday... am really loving it. All the stuff I've been really into lately has had male vocalists... it's so nice to hear a woman kicking ass again!

^Hee, hee.. yeah, Kimmi... I was always tempted by "alternative" means of getting songs, but could never go through with it. I do love amazon downloads, but am now really, really regretting not having physical copies of the albums I really love (like all of SP's). I never even got a physical copy of Prospekt's March; it's also an amazon download for me. Now, of course, I really wish I had the actual cd. :( P.S. Get it, Mer! It's soooo pretty! :wacky:

^Awesome, Angie! :dance: Can't wait to see it!

ha, thanks, Mike. I'm Jen. :) Yeah, maybe she's too big a character to kill off, but they've planned everything out so meticulously, it seems odd that they would keep her around just for the sake of having her there. I guess we'll just have to wait and see! ;) gahh. this show is sooo good, I'm going to miss it terribly when it's over! :( Can't wait to see what everyone else thought about the ep!

Excellent. I just pulled out this cd for the first time in a loooooong time. I'd forgotten how much I loved it. Plainsong, Pictures of You, Love Song and Untitled are probably my favorites. Oh, so good, all of it. But my favorite Cure song is probably Halo- a b-side from Friday I'm in Love. I haven't kept up with them since Wish... I should check out their latest stuff.

oh my god i have a headache from crying. @gloaming (i'm so sorry I know I've probably asked you your name a million times) i agree that kate hasn't done much lately... which kind of makes me think she's more important than we're being led to believe. She been a major character, right from the beginning, so I have to believe the writers have a plan for her. Plus, wasn't it nicely set up by Sawyer tonight... "your name was crossed out; he doesn't need you..." anyway, you're right; it's really building up steam now... these last few episodes are going to be :bomb:

^ah, cool. I don't actually have a physical copy of any of the albums... just downloaded them all from amazon (which I now thoroughly regret, btw). I may have to download that video! I got the email about the collectors box, too. That's the super awesome colletion that Kimmi (and maybe Bernard and Bianca?) has. I have the Deluxe Up to Now, which is 2 CDs and 1 DVD. I was super tempted to buy the collectors box when it first came out, but settled for the Deluxe. The box would be awesome, esp. with the lithograph and vinyl... though I have nothing to actually play an album on. If you don't have some other form of Up to Now already, and you can afford it, I'd say GET IT!!! :D the free shipping makes it an extra good deal! Oh, and did you notice the end of the email said, "Hope to see you soon"? I'm going to read into that that they are going to tour soon (and by soon I mean sometime in the next 18 months :P)

Ok, Mer, I'm going to expose myself for the SP noob that I am... what is "the first week of term"?

^:dance: YES!!! I am so ready!

:curtain: Spurs! :D they're essentially my home team. if it can't be them, I'd be happy with anyone but LA or Cleveland! :P The Suns scare me... they always give the Spurs a tough time.

:cheesy: I just heard Cannonball on the radio! I'd never heard it on the radio before!! :wacky:

Love it. oh, and btw, thanks, Dave.. now I've got "Missing" going in loops in my head... though, that's not necessarily a bad thing! @Meredith- I love Same! I recently gained a new appreciation for that song, though I'm not sure what prompted it.

Awww, Christina, I didn't know you liked SP! :heart:

That's cool. I'll take a new album and new tour, even if it's next year!! :D Don't think REM are touring. I think I heard that Peter Buck is currently in the middle of another project.

awww... cute video! I just keep hoping the fact that there's a "European Tour" means that there'll be a "North American Tour" sooner rather than later! :D

I have nothing useful to add to the conversation about this week's ep... I'm still confused as hell, but I loved how the Claire/Jack/Ilana/Des storylines intersected in the sideways world. Anyway, nothing useful to add, but some LOST goodies I came across I thought you guys might be interested in. Sorry if you've all already seen these! About the final night of programming- holy Lost-spectacular! http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2010/04/are-you-ready-to-say-farewell-to-lost-/1 An interview with Cuse and Lindelof discussing the end of the series. I have not yet read it myself, but it's supposed to be spoiler-free. http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/04/ff_lost/ and a cool video tour of the Lost island, courtesy of Hurley http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/04/jorge-garcia-takes-the-times-on-a-special-lost-tour.html

watched MTV World Showcase again for the first time in about a year. Awww, it made me so happy to see the concert (at least bits of it!) again!

Crests, The Outsiders is one of my all-time favorite books. Hope you enjoy it!

good point. :) which is interesting, since Christian's body was actually missing from the coffin. :thinking: It all just hurts my head. In a good way.
