thanks Sternly! for making this thread for us! :-)

barenaked pie!

someone already posted it here? hmm as usual i'm late! but am glad i'm not that crazy over chris or gwyneth! hahaha

that's old news? it is on the local rock/alternative radio's web site. :stunned:

who is this meant for? :huh: I'm lost, a little. anywho. was just reading a news story about Chris and Gwyneth, how they almost missed their 1st-class flight 'cuz they were dressed like beggars!! LMAO. And the very next thing they play on the radio is Coldplay's "God put a smile on your face" :rolleyes: God gave your grace... Scruffy Chris and Gwyneth Nearly Turned Away From First-Class Flight Newlyweds Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow were nearly turned away from boarding a flight Sunday - because they were dressed so scruffily. The low-key pair checked in at London's Gatwick Airport for a trip to Mexico via Dallas in such shabby clothing that the ground staff thought the A-list couple could be homeless. Coldplay front man Chris wore dirty khaki trousers and boots, whereas Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth dressed down in ripped jeans and old shoes. Staff at the airport kept the couple talking while colleagues checked to see if there was a dress code for the $35,611-a-pair ticketed flight. They were let through after a short delay. A source says, "As a rule, first class passengers who pay out thousands of pounds for their seats are dressed immaculately. This was something of a turn-off. "It was highly embarrassing when Chris and Gwyneth arrived at the first class check-in desk. "Initially it was thought they were down and out and had stopped to ask for directions. It wasn't until they produced their tickets people realized who they were. Then the rules had to be checked to determine if they were allowed in the luxury cabin in such attire. "The couple was very friendly and behaved perfectly. "Chris and Gwyneth clearly didn't want to be spotted and dressed accordingly but it nearly cost them their flight."

as i said, this is just one critic's opinion :cool: i'm looking to find another such list. i'd heard it on a radio program just yesterday.

okay. I know this is just one critic's opinion. It's from USA Today. I guess if you come across other such line-ups for the year, just post here. How 'bout that? :-) You can't beat 'Hey Ya'; you can't bear 'Señorita' By Ken Barnes, USA TODAY As usual, the list is restricted to songs that got significant radio airplay, or the best 10 would mostly be made up of obscure indies and imports. That's OK — USA TODAY's Ken Barnes found plenty to like (and dislike) among the hits. 1. Outkast, Hey Ya. What's cooler than cool? This record, so breezily brilliant it restores your faith in contemporary R&B, pop, rock, or all three. The Super Freak of the modern era. 2. Coldplay, Clocks. OK, it's Beautiful Day with piano, but it's a sumptuous spellbinder and an easy No. 1 in an Outkast-free world. 3. Baby Bash with Frankie J, Suga Suga. No mere Archies update, this "rap/sung collaboration" (as the Grammys put it) answers the musical question "How you get so fly?" The secret weapon is Frankie J's velvety vocal over a gorgeous acoustic-guitar riff. (Frankie's own early-Prince-like ballad I Don't Wanna Try nearly made this list as well.) 4. Brad Paisley, Celebrity. The wittiest country song of the year is also the catchiest. 5. R.E.M., Bad Day. Resembles It's the End of the World as We Know It, but Stipe and Co. are far from feeling fine, venting some spleen about the current administration. 6. Dido, White Flag. Hypnotic textures, and I love that line, "I won't poke my eyes out and surrender." Wait ... it's really "I won't put my hands up." That'll cost it a shot at the top 5. 7. AFI, Girl's Not Grey. Credit a skillful hair stylist. Seriously, burrowing up from the California goth underground, AFI rock one of the year's most infectious tunes. 8.Beyoncé, Crazy in Love. It's all about the horns (sampled from the 1970 Chi-Lites song Are You My Woman but used more effectively). Riff of the year. 9. Black Eyed Peas, Where Is the Love. Where R.E.M.'s message was restricted to marginal radio formats, the Peas earn points for putting their politics on pop stations, hitting No. 1 with a song that disses the CIA in the first verse. 10.Justin Timberlake, Rock Your Body. Any song underpinned by irresistible Chic licks will click in my picks, even with the Michael Jackson mannerisms and creepy "I'll have you nekkid by the end of this song" line. And the worst: 1. Justin Timberlake, Señorita. Justin earns the rare distinction of a placement on both lists with this aimless, tuneless, seemingly endless plodder, lowlighted by a misbegotten falsetto that brings proceedings to a screeching halt. 2. Christina Aguilera, Beautiful. Partway through this sickly self-esteem sobfest, Christina defiantly declares, "I'm beautiful, no matter what they say/Words can't bring me down." Oh well, it was worth a try. 3. Darryl Worley, Have You Forgotten. Hard to forget a song that asserts that the Iraq war was a logical reaction to 9/11. Country jingoism at its most dangerously moronic. 4. The Darkness, I Believe in a Thing Called Love. The AC/DC riff is fine, but singer Justin Hawkins' falsetto is more fruity than a raspberry frappé, more fey than Tina, more ludicrous than Luda — well, you get the idea. The part where he shrills "Ooh, guitar!" is the year's most cringeworthy moment. 5.Britney Spears, Me Against the Music. Final score: Britney 1, the music 0. 6. Sean Paul, Get Busy. The kind of monotonous dancehall nursery rhyme cadence that makes my teeth grit and my critical objectivity split. 7.Chingy, Holidae In. I like Right Thurr, in which he sounds weirdly like Eminem, but this is the dullest sort of party-mouthed tedium. Checkout time is right now. 8. Barenaked Ladies, Another Postcard. I've always liked these wacky Canadians, but they pushed the limits of my tolerance with One Week and obliterated them with this unpleasant retread. 9. Uncle Kracker, Drift Away. What was tolerable sentimentality in Dobie Gray's 1973 original now becomes an exercise in narcoleptic nostalgia. 10.John Mayer, Bigger Than My Body. Something about that breathy, whispery vocal technique he and the even more irritating Jack Johnson have going works my last nerve.
