I can't wait to hear Metal Airplanes on a new album (crosses fingers). I'm an addict for the YouTube videos of that song... as I said earlier, though - SOMEONE out there has gotta have the inside scoop, no? His barber? How about his nurse from his recent hospital stay? Nothing? Damn!

I'm thinking he was listening to some Dylan...maybe a LOT of Dylan, in fact. Does that mean I like it or dislike it? I dunno...it's a good song, but I'll reserve all opinions and judgement regarding a new album...

are you sure? I have a friend there who says it was on one of the stations....?....

see, I have to say that Advertising on Police Cars is. Not a fan. At the same time, I don't know of anyone who really loved that song a particular amount...

all this talk of WHAT is gonna be on it....does anyone have some inside info on "when"? C'mon, someone has to be his dog-groomer or barista or something...

I'll trade you mine in exchange for a new kidney ;)

I think it was either on CFOX or maybe on CBC Radio...i know those are two vastly different sources, but I still find it amazing how much new, interesting, and deserving stuff you can find on CBC at the oddest hours... Back when the Barenaked Ladies were "cool" (were they ever cool? you bet) and very new, I heard them on CBC before I ever heard them anywhere else...

man, how long does it take people to get this concept? Yeah, sure I think "She's got a new Disguise" is a wicked song, but I'm not going to go looking for that orange in a bucket of apples.... Vermillion, if only for it's relative lack of Post-Cold War references compared to Radio Bomb.

yeah, U2, Metallica, The Beatles and Beethoven, all SOOOO so so so overrated. F*ck them and their goddamned music. THey've all licked a** since that point in their careers where they got to be too popular for me to consider them cool, given that I'm the "Emir of Cool" (R.I.P. Emir of Kuwait - peace out brotha)

my understanding was that she was only an occasional guest on SGA....

Isn't BMS just some manifestos that were eventually collected into At Last THere Is Nothing Left to Say?

Which is more "full of yourself"? To spend your honeymoon in a bed in a hotel in an effort at achieving world peace, or leaving the Beatles to start a shit-band like Wings? That's right. Everyone remember Wings? They sure as shit gave Paul a wake-up call...

Night Train - Bruce Cockburn

Dazed and Confused....I always found it soooo boring, despite everyone I know loving it

I dunno man....I've got a plethora of MG posters, one which tops them all ;) sorry, i have to be smug about this. It's a huge one, something along the lines of 5'x6' of 6'x7' (never measured, but it's bloody huge), of the Audio of Being - I believe it was one of the record-store promo posters, and it's just awesome. Then it has it's lesser counsins and some photographs on the man himself surrounding it. Hehe. I love my wall of Good. If only I had the technology to show it here...stupid lack of technology...if Steve Austin came to me, I could NOT rebuild him....

I shall second the recommendation - Clone High rocked!

i thought he was retiring to focus on producing other acts and having great sex with beyonce....

it does SEEM as though there are a million haters out there, but then go to their show. I saw them with 17,000 U2 lovers in GM Place. And given that the two GM Place shows sold out in mere minutes... I think it seems that way because (A) they're so prominant and (B) they're so damned good that it seems to strange that anyone COULD hate them....sure, you may not be a big fan, but at the same time, why hate them? I, personally, would say they have legitimacy, staying power, and good songs. Sure, maybe not everyone of their albums is as good as Joshua Tree, and yes, maybe they sold out (but hey, who doesn't wanna sell out? The Flaming Lips? The Magnetic Fields? I guess they aren't as popular as U2 for a reason then...) but still, by be a hater? Yes. that's my reasoning, and I'm sticking to it.

Bruised Legs - The Poppies

Wow. You just don't get it. Yes, there is individual responsibility in ANY action, yes. BUT there are usually reasons behind those actions. Why are some people good drivers? Well, it probably has a lot to do with who they learned to drive from, under what circumstances they learned to drive, and what type of drivers they have observed. It's NO different with the law. If you grow up seeing your law-abiding parents getting ahead, getting what they need and want, then fine. BUT, if you grow up seeing your law-abiding parents getting the shaft and ALSO seeing drug dealers driving fancy cars, wearing fancy clothes, etc. etc., then that's going to leave you with a different impression of how to get ahead. Now let us think for a minute - what sort of people were society and it's law designed by and for? "Well Bob, I'd generally have to say that most laws are made by rich white men, for rich white men" - how else can you explain that an example of corporate fraud, in which hundreds or thousands of people lose thousands of dollars is punished by a slap on the wrist of maybe 5 years in prison, yet at the same time, robbing a convenience store for a few hundred bucks can get 10 or 20 years? Hmm....think on it for a while.

f-f-fallin' - The Rasmus

Hey, sure - keep blaming the individual. It will solve everything, I'm sure. The problem with blaming the criminal for crime is no different for blaming the terrorist for terror: yes, it is true that the immediate culprit IS immediately responsible for their actions BUT the overall problem won't be solved unless the underlying "root" reason(s) for their being a motivated culprit is solved.

ok, so maybe Huber's got a bit too much rock'n'roll pretension, Rebabaluba, but c'mon - she's hot. Definitely hot...

yeah, FIght CLub better than American History X? HA! I'm sorry. I watched Fight Club once, and loved it on that whole "wow, i'm in high school and this is the deepest philosophy i've ever heard AND it has fight scenes!"....then watched it a year or two later, with the benefit of some university classes, a calming of the ego and hormones, and a greater appreciation for "cinema" (a tough concept, but look it up....) and I really didn't care for it. But, that being said, to each his own.
