The Doors - Break On Through

It's a bad show. I always found the jokes corny and the laugh-track almost abusive. I won't care if they cancel it.

I saw it in the theatre. Not much of a plot, just an excuse to show off some wicked-ass martial arts combined with special effects. In other words, awesome.

Crown of Love - Arcade Fire

Uh....no....I think? Who's your favourite Cold War president?

I came across this story a few days ago; it looks pretty interesting, especially in the context of global warming. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050825/pl_nm/energy_montana_dc http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/8/25/16112/2287

Try the hub?

I wonder if it'll be slowed down, like the acoustic Near Fantastica.

This guy knows what's up.

New Brits. Do you shop at Value Village?

High And Dry - Radiohead

The new single isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. Better than anything I heard off the last couple albums. Usually, the best songs on albums aren't always released to radio, so I'll probably download 5 or 6 songs and see if it's worth buying or not.

I found God. He was behind the couch the whole time. Good for Maiden. That was pure class.

North American For Life should be interesting. Other than that, not many surprises.

Thanks again, this stuff is gold ;) . I play trumpet rather than guitar, so I learn chords to songs by building them one note at a time. Playing out of a Real Book, it's a good way to memorize tunes.

I've heard of him. I've probably even heard his stuff, but I just didn't know it. Raffi or Fred Penner?

When building chords, say I have a C13 chord. Will I play C,E,G,B,D,F,A?

I bought a bunch of jazz records on vinyl a few weeks ago: Jazz Moments - George Shearing Live - Paul Desmond Quartet Paris Concert - Circle Gateway 2 - Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, John Abercrombie The New Quartet - Gary Burton Treasure Island - Keith Jarrett Staircase - Keith Jarrett Greatest Hits - Thelonius Monk The Joshua Tree - U2 Which one doesn't belong?

In referal to this: The difference between this example and the example of the parents is that when you shat on the sidewalk, you would know full well the consequences of your actions. When a child is born, it is doubtful that its parents would know what said child would grow up to be. Lauren's example works better than yours does. That's my point.

That analogy doesn't work because my parents did not create existence. God is incomparable, according to Christians. While using christian logic, it's impossible to justify God without backtracking and being a copout. my point still stands. You didn't create existence when you shat on the sidewalk.

Excellent. Thanks, man! ;)

I feel the same way about panhandlers ;) .

What are the names of all the different modes of the scales (i.e. 2nd is dorian, 6th is aolian, etc)? Those are the only two I can remember.

The fear point (from my experiences): it's never come up whenever I've been to church. I guess the United Church of Canada is a little crazy like that. I've got nothing against it. The way we were taught to believe in God had nothing to do with hellfire and brimstone, but rather through good actions, the beauty of nature, etc. It's been a good 5 years since I was last in church school. That's probably why I'm not as cynical about these issues as others. There's an article in this week's Time magazine that you'd probably like. It's about the debate around teaching intelligent design in schools alongside evolution. They interview some biologists who don't find it difficult at all to reconcile their faith with their working knowledge of evolution. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...1090909,00.html 6 day creationist types. Yeah, I know the feeling. Not exactly. It is possible that if God created everything, then he could've just left it after he was finished except in occasional divine interferences. Things like the water cycle or the carbon cycle are pretty self sustaining. God (or any other higher being) probably just kicked it off 6 billion years ago or so. Unless this is what you mean and it's all some sort of butterfly effect. The key word is 'if'. A benevolent god wouldn't condemn innocents to hell. That's part of being a benevolent god.
