Mr. Brownstone - Guns N' Roses

The Wedge, Going Coastal, and the New Music are good shows that I watch on occasion.

I was disappointed that I didn't get to see the Arcade Fire, but that would've meant that I'd have to watch the rest to find it.

Run - Snow Patrol

Those are the AoB b-sides.

I'm assuming that they're the songs from Loser Anthems. It's easy enough to get them off of any filesharing program.

Take out the 'dream' and you get what I use.

No, just bloody annoying.

Haiti - Arcade Fire

The last Interpol album took some time to get into.

Dear God - XTC

Jazz, blues, they go hand in hand a lot of the time.

Didn't he have some hand in the original version that he had to scrap due to money problems?

Linkin Park is a roller coaster!

I've never heard of him. I hear lots of music on the local jazz station here (Cool FM) that gets passed off as "cool jazz", but to me it's pretty much just instrumental pop. When I listen to it, I rarely hear any "cool jazz" influences like the Birth of the Cool recordings by Miles Davis. Listen to those, and you'll know what "cool" sounds like ;)

I love jazz. I'm going to the jazz camp at the International Music Camp at the peace gardens, and I'm seriously considering taking jazz in university. Right now, I'm working on a 4000 word essay on the influence of Miles Davis on modern jazz, and so for that I'm having to listen to lots of it. I'm totally digging Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and all those other guys you mentioned. I'm also really into Clifford Brown, Art Blakey, Chick Corea (and Return to Forever - Spain=amazing), Dave Brubeck, Cannonball Adderly, and Chet Baker. I'm not too big a fan of the vocal jazz though. It's really the lyrics, more than anything. The singers are excellent (mostly), a lot better than most of what you'd hear on modern rock radio. The musicianship is better, too. I'd like to hear the guys in Nickelback improvise over a 12-bar blues progression. Hell, John Coltrane could play 1000 notes a minute when improvising - just pulling stuff out of thin air - and it sounds excellent. I laughed when I read the first post here, since a while back there was a "Rate the band above" thread, and I posted Charlie Parker after someone posted B.B. King in hopes that maybe I wasn't too naive in thinking someone else on a board like this had heard of some old jazzmen. Instead, people were just bitching about how they'd never heard of him. I was a little dismayed B)

Charleswood United

Would a 6 month old child want to join any particular denomination? I guess I shouldn't be taking this too seriously, as it is pretty much for the young children to have some fun. And insober, I'm all for any good people getting into Heaven, baptised or not. I just can't picture Ghandi rotting in hell. A Jewish man died and went to Heaven. St. Peter told him he could go anywhere, except over a high wall in the east section. One day, his curiosity got the better of him and he looked over and saw people living there just the same as on his side. He went running back to St. Peter to ask him about the people on the other side and why he couldn't go over there. St. Peter asked, "did anyone see you?" The man replied, "no." "Thank goodness. Those are the Christians. They think they're the only ones up here."

Come to think of it, my friend is, too. What I want to know is how can anyone know for sure that animals don't have souls. What's the harm in the baptism if they don't? At least the kids would feel good about it. I know my ministers pretty well. They wouldn't lie to children about religion.

Any particular church? Don't want to discriminate, but that seems more like a Catholic stance. I'm not clear on how others would see something like this. (I go to a United church).

I have to wonder, how much of this is just bullshit? I'm vaguely reminded of the Darfur problem finally being called a genocide by the US and others and yet they're not doing anything. To me, it just looks like they're covering their asses when another couple hundred thousand or so are killed by state-sponsored Janjaweed. I'm skeptical of this.

They're really just doing it for the kids, I'm not even going. But imagine that you're 4 or 5, and your dog dies. How'd you feel if you were told you'd never see that dog again (assuming it wasn't a vicious son of a bitch that attacked anything that smelt of fear)?

My church is having an outdoor service tomorrow where they're planning on baptizing children's pets for fun. My friend says that something like that is stupid and a waste of time because animals don't have souls and no free will. Regardless of how this looks from an agnostic or athiest perspective, how do you feel about this when thinking about it from a religious perspective?

We Will Still Need A Song - Hawksley Workman

He also conveniently forgot to leave that part out when accepting his Juno.
