Idlewild - Outkast in a movie...wasn't expecting it to be good... Seriously impressed. It was a very well thought out, well written, dynamic story. Amazing visuals.

I tried going vegetarian, twice...It was very, very hard, I lasted 7 and 10 months respectively. I've gone no beef and pork, for three lents in a row. It changed my eating habits permanently. Now I eat less beef and pork in general, and more fish. I also tend to only have meat once a day, I'd say a few days a week I don't eat meat at all. I think anything that is truly cruel, like veal and the way they treated those ducks is wrong. I'd given up foie gras a few years back, and I took veal off the family restaurant menu as soon as I took over management, when I was a kid. I applaud anyone who goes meatless, it's a serious, life changing choice. Dan, I didn't know you were a stepdad. Lucky kid he is. It's not necessarily two shopping lists. It's more of adjusting some dishes, and adding a few extras, they don't have to give up meat because you do, it just means the side dishes have to change a but more. My ex discovered that she had wheat and dairy allergies about seven years ago. I just had to make adjustments, using soy instead of milk in recipes, using different flours, thinks like that...it increased our grocery bill about 15%...but it improved other things, I had to experiment more with meals, and be creative(fun for me), we augmented our meals with more veggies, and our snacks and desserts were more healthy.

Thanks Rabbit. Even though Siamese Dream is my favorite album, and Drown is my favorite song...I really liked Machina, for what it was. -
That's exactly how I felt about it. Way too many truths. I just watched Miami Vice again...not bad, the sequel should be much better.

The New Smashing Pumpkins

I agree to a point Rabbit(By the way good to see ya). But even Billy said on more than one occasion, that James had a profound impact on the songwriting process. What Shortcut posted makes sense to me as well. Bottom-line - this isn't a Pumpkins album...This is Billy Corgan trying to recreate the pumpkin's sound, as a solo artist. In that regard he's no better than Axl Rose, calling it one thing whhen it's just a band of hired guns. Is it decent music? Yes...but it feels incomplete. -

Actually, James contributed more than you realize. It shows in this album, especially in the over produced vocals, and in the writting. Mellon Collie versus Adore or Machina is the difference...James contributed heavily to Mellon Collie..listen to his Solo disc if ytou don't believe me. -
Tim, yes you can definitely tell the difference, but in appearance and feeling. I prefer the real thing.

I agree with Lauren. It would make a very interesting tattoo.

The New Smashing Pumpkins

This is not the pumpkins. I bought it today...I like it, it's kick ass!!! This is Billy and Jimmy and some hired guns. Having said that it's pretty damned good. But don't mistake this for the Smashing Pumpkins. D'arcy wasn't all that talented...but james Iha is, and he is the component that would have made this the pumpkins. Great Album, it is what it is. I'm loving it, but Shade is dead on, the vocals are mixed to shit. Billy's voice is fine, I think he saw that he was missing Iha's voice, and covered it up with over production. -
Fritz the cat was the shit. You should encourage her to fuck Antonio Banderas he plays a cat in the movies...
