#961 Re: The Sunset Strip » Music critics love albums that the public hates » 902 weeks ago
What if you're stuck as that asshole who doesn't like what the critics like, or what the public likes?
Although Nick Cave and the Burrito Brothers are awesome, so I guess I'm a little closer to a critic.
#962 Re: The Garden » Vatican lists "new deadly sins" » 902 weeks ago
Sorry if I offend any Catholics here but the Catholic religion is all bullshit. A man has no right and I mean no right to hear what you have to say to the God you believe in. Especially since half of them touch little boys and sin themselves. Man is no substitute for God. The Pope is a load of bullshit. They put the man so high almost as high as Catholics think of God and Jesus Christ. They add books to the bible and their own rules more so than any religion that follows Jesus Christ. I don't need some place like the Vatican to tell me what is right and wrong in the eyes of my God.
Frankly I feel this way about religion in general. At some point a man wrote, translated, copied, interpreted... whatever... what may have been a word of some sort of god.
That's how I started to declare myself agnostic, there's stuff I can't explain, but I've read a lot in the bible that doesn't really make sense either.
#963 Re: The Sunset Strip » ‘Sopranos’ movie in the works? » 902 weeks ago
I have never seen so much as one episode of this show. People who have and are aware I'm a big Goodfellas fan are just shocked when they find out.
Is the show really all it's cracked up to be?
I honestly think it's one of the greatest shows ever made. I guess everybody will think something different though. Although, I don't think I've ever met anyone who's seen it and doesn't really like it.
Also, as a Goodfellas fan it'd be fun for you just to see the huge amount of people who are in Sopranos too. There's one specific nod to Goodfellas(I think in season 2) that really cracked me up, to the point where I laugh just thinking about it sometimes.

I heard or read somewhere recently that David Chase didn't want to do a movie because he really liked the ending and wanted to leave it like that. So if they were to do a movie it would have to be a prequel or something.
He easily could have changed his mind, or what I read could have been bullshit, but I saw it somewhere.

Take out "roll a joint" and "smoke cigarettes" and Drug day sounds a whole lot more like my average day than "Drug Free Day" does.

I guess I thought this Luther Dickinson would be more of a Marc Ford type than another rhythm player. Thumbs down so far.
I agree thus far. My second listen was better then the first, but you used a great word: underwhelmed. I really dig the first track/single and I think that it's slightly extended on the album. I didn't like Lions the first time I heard it but I liked it more then this if I remember right.
Pretty well agree as well, but it's not bad. I actually think it's better than Lions so far myself, but I was pretty underwhelmed by that too.
Also, since nugdafied mentioned Marc Ford, has anybody else heard his solo stuff? I saw him last summer and it was cool, but quite a bit more jam-bandy than the Crowes usually get(actually I guess kinda similiar to Warpaint). You can hear some stuff at his website http://www.marcford.net/ if anybody's interested.

I'm off to buy that record, and the new Tossers cd/dvd here shortly. It's gonna be a good night.

Rex Grossman is a 3rd string NFL QB. No way should he be in the hunt to start, he'd be a very bad backup. I'd rather take a crapshoot & get any other teams 3rd stringer & sign him on the hope you get lucky than have Grossman in contention to start. I agree the money was low, so it wasn't a "bad" move, it just wasn't a "good" move either. It's like kissing your sister, as they say.
I 110% disagree with this...first of all you have to look at our recent history. Rex is the best in a long line of HORRIBLE quarterbacks. Our team has started Jonaton Quinn, Craig Krenzel, Shane Matthews and Jim Miller for extended periods of time in the last 10 years.
It does get worse than Grossman, it really does. We've endured those periods.
The problem is that a lot of the people on that list have the same problem. None should be starters, but they're not aweful. Grossman/Griese and Matthews/Miller were pretty much the same thing. Two guys who would be above average second stringers, but shouldn't be starters.
#969 Re: The Sunset Strip » 20 great songs, 20 bad movies » 903 weeks ago
Watching Maximum Overdrive with the AC/DC soundtrack when I was in 5th grade got me into the style of music that's still the stuff that I like the most in the world.
It also started what's been mostly a lifelong thing where I don't really like the music everyone else around me likes because I discovered something else. Everybody else in 5th grade loved Bon Jovi, and I wouldn't have it. I had discovered AC/DC.

^^ Makes me happy too. I was worried they were going to make the same mistake they made with Rosey Colvin a few years back.
