QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 03:24 AM) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13554907/ This nation is at war. We are at war and we have the NYT disclosing classified programs which are designed to prosecute this war. This type of behavior is no different than if they had somehow gotten the plans for the D-Day invasion and splashed them across the front page of their newspaper. This rag newspaper is actively undermining the war effort in order to pursue its leftist agenda and it must be stopped NOW. The Attorney General needs to find out who is responsible for leaking this information, and get a list of everyone who wrote this story, every editor who greenlighted this story, the entire board of directors and the president and owners of the NYT and prosecute the whole lot of them. This is treason, cut and dried, and they should be dealt with the exact same way anyone else who commits treason during a time of war is dealt with. The whole lot of them should be stood up in front of a firing squad. if the war on terrorism is at war we will never have peace, and never a time where we have a truly free press...

i bet harry kills voldemort by accident like that one cartoon character...with the weed.

any movie jon brion scored...

northern beer is the worst.

my intonation review. Favourite Sons - boring typical New york band. but pleasant pop songs. Not so boring...just boring in that they are like band # 5400 with the same f'n s'nd. Erase Errata - horrible. Female punk has been done much better and by better lookin women. THEY HAVE A KNIIIFE 90 Day men - not a festival group but had some pretty impressive moments. But it was beautiful and sunny and i didn't feel like their dark s***. Devin the Dude - just when you thought he couldn't possibly have another song about weed, he did it. f***in A! Funny moment when he started singing james taylor...and you thought it would bust into something else but nope...until he finally said "my bad that was james taylor"...Probably the least impressive live rapper at the concert next to dead prez (though for diff reasons)... Jose Gonzales - Fantastic. He had some troubles with tuning and the s***tiest f***ing introducing people...alive. Worst. But Love stains sounded great and the kylie manogue covers sounded less forced. I met him after the show and he signed Veneer for me and i asked if his next album has an american distributor but he kind of stumbled and answered , i'm trying to finish by the end of the year which leads me to believe he didn't understand my ? Chromeo - pretty good and dancey dance. Sounded like a less beat driven daft punk, and i would've rather listened to daft punk..but after the rather drab first acts i welcomed the sounds. I also looked for food during this set. Saw plenty of delicious food items... High on Fire - metal. Avg. metal. Had classic metal lyrics without getting cheesy and a nice curveball to the day but i just was too tired to pay attention. The stills - i never really listened to them before, and i thought i might like them. But i didn't...but i was kind of far and at intonATION if you aren't in front you don't get good sound...looked f**gy though.. Roky erickson - i thought this would be great...but then...it really wasn't. He sounded old...13th floor elevators ROLL OVER IN GRAVES... FINALLY THE GOOD s***: The Boredoms - I have a feeling not many people knew the boredoms before intonation. They are one of the only bands whose album i've picked up without ever hearing before and they blew me away. But this BLEW ME AWAAAAY, dig. (f**). Their stage set up was 3 drummers...and a keyboard. ANd they made those drums SING, oh!, my god it was f***ing magical...i'd never heard anything like this from them before... And the crowd was amazed. IN a park where its easy to ignore the acts...they wouldn't let you ignore them. Energy galore...and the most unique and awesome sound i've heard from them...Nobody topped them...nobody did it better. Ghostface - played some Wu-tang songs and had great energy but didn't feature any of the new songs i wanted to hear live but played some good supreme clientele songs and brought hot b****es up on stage and had a dance party. Fun to see and hear but i wanted more from one of my favorite rappers. Lady Sovereign - pleasantly suprised! I have her album and while its fun once in a while it didn't hold me but live her attitude catches in and her lyrics take a whole new turn. The live bass gave that tough sludging grime beats to life. really good hsowing...i'm looking forward to her output on Jay-Zs label. The streets - So great. Skinner was hilarious and charming and the set list was great. They did planned, but still on the spot "remixes" if you can use that so liberally of singing "I bet you look good on the dance floor" and that song that goes "don't you with your girlfriend was a freak like me" but replace girlfriend with boyfriend and sing it to a girl in the audience and replace "was a freak like me" with "could eat your pussy like me"...Best song - Fit but you know it...so much energy... day 2 come henceforth Day 2... oh lonely me... with the morning rain the people i was supposed to meet didn't show...did meet people there though...oh no...keep rhyming i said so... FIRST ACT I SAW: the constantines :f***ing great...just as good as columbia. their live stuff kind of proves, at least it should prove to them, how avg. tourn. of hearts is to shine a light / the cons material...(besides soon enough)...but man they can rock... Rhymefest - SO great. God i hope his new album sells. This guy f***ing deserves it more than anyone i can think of in the rap game right now. He's an incredible free styler...he went on for ten min. just looking at things in the crowd...and his new material is good...his beats just need some more umph and i'm worried he doesn't have the chorus hooks for a big pop hit. Nonetheless...maybe some kanye appearances and s*** will work for him. BLue collar drops july 11th !!!!!!! Rhymefest did something notable early in his career i won't mention because it doesn't have bearing on how his career should be. Chicago's finest? Top 3! Annie - nice and pop! I'd take others over her though. But she made nice usage of synths and s***. I liked her. No Pipettes thou Lupe Fiasco -Failure was just fantastic live. He was funny, and seems more relaxed about his album leaking now. HAs a new track on the new one yet to leak as far as i know. Kick/Push was great, and he did diamonds are forever which i think sounds better with his voice but i'm sure he got more money pawning it to Kanye. He did his touch the sky verse and that was a lot of fun. This guy could take off and man i hope so. The sword-bleh. Had a great hot dog during their set. Blue Cheer- Metal Pioneers still had plenty of rock in em. But plenty of old age too. Its cool to see these old acts play after all these years..but their sets were more nostalgia than substance. Jon Brion - Composer/producer jon brion was a shining beacon at intonation a beacon of light...jon brion...awesome. He would go play the drums (at this point i should mention...jon brion produced Kanye's "Late Registration" the original fiona apple "Extraordinary machine" and scored "eternal sunshine for the spotless mind") loop it, go to the piano, loop it, and then play guitar. ANd he is a great guitarist. His friend ben something next came on to play keyboard and he was awesome. Later, Glen the drummer from wilco came on and they played some beatles covers and other songs. They were so great. They looked like they were having so much fun, not trying to look cool, not doing a job, they were having fun. And lots of it. It was so infectious it overcame the many tech difficulties... Robert pollard - the incredibly limber bob pollard was f***ing great. At first he came out with a miller lite and i kept thinking, no, no way, this guy drinks like a fish and he's drinking miller f***ing lite? what a pussy! Then he opened a handle of tequila and started chugging. Highlight: Game of Pricks at one point the girl next to me asked : "did he cover guided by voices for the first two songs or did they cover him for this song" and i was confused...so she repeated... and then i got what she was saying and told her he was the lead singer of guided by voices..f*** it..he IS guided by voices. His backing band was great...new stuff is alright... a bit like morrissey post smiths in that its still pollard but its not the same. Dead prez...sigh. SIGH. they played their new "hey were clubbing" bulls*** songs and when they weren't doing that...they were talking for 15 goddamn minutes...i left early to go wait for bloc party...rubbish. f***in rubbish. They could have been special. Bloc Party - When i was waiting for them to come on it suddenly occured to me that i was surrounded by 15/16 year old kids. All talking about how amazing bloc party is and how no one came for any other band. It was cute...made me long for the days when i felt that way about bands...that this band is the f***in best and no one compares... The set started with...f***...uhhh...well anyway they played pretty much all of silent alarm plus two new songs one named beautiful which was dancey BLAST OF AWESOME. Price of gas was really great. euekukewaskus voice is spot on live and htey really are good musicians. Those bass lines...badassssss.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) Did everyone here think we were getting a #1 starter for El Duque?? Eh..El Duque was a minor part of the deal. Chris Young was the centerpiece of this, and yes I'd expect we get more value out of Vazquez considering what we gave up. Considering the run support Vazquez has gotten, he should have an even higher win total. I believe if Brandon McCarthy spent the entire season in Vazquez's spot, he'd have more wins and better numbers. I also think Vizcaino would be posting better numbers out of the pen than McCarthy, since McCarthy clearly is still adjusting to bp duty. And, we'd still have a valuable trading piece and insurance for Anderson in Chris Young, who's having a great season at Arizona's AAA club. Right now, this trade is a loss for the White Sox that will likely become more lopsided with time. Sure, there is a chance that Cooper can fix the breakdowns that Vazquez seems to experience. But, at this point, my money is on Vazquez continuing to be the same pitcher he's been the last 3 years.

po' boi

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) It'll be tough on Sunday with the goober pitching, but then again he had a 5-0 lead against us in game 3 and we saw how that turned out. oh right...tomorrow...right...

nothin like summer road trips huh!

i feel special about tonight...not only will we win number 9 tonight...we'll win number 10 too. I'm that confident

ugh, i hate how almost all the beer up there is all i can afford.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 06:37 AM) I flippin love Bloc Party. The Constantines are kinda fun too. I would have liked to go to the Fest but i'm out of town i'll give you a warm recap that'll feel like you were almost there!!!

QUOTE(jenksd @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 03:49 AM) I was going to go to Intonation until I realized the only artists worth s*** playing it were Ghostface, the Boredoms, Devin the Dude, Dead Prez, and Rhymefest the constantines live are great. Jose gonzales...jon brion...bloc party...good stuff. its only 20 bucks for live music...in nice chicago park...

you guys have to just start laughing at hawk.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) No that never happened, and if it did I know for a fact that three other people didn't already bring it up in this very thread. haha

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) why is that like 90% of sports writers just dont make any sense. sports writing is just above the obituaries for journalism.

i found the raconteurs so disappointing. I was thinking Jack white with a good drummer...but what i got was the raconteurs. QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) Bmags, Los do either of you planning on going to the Pitchfork Music Festival? Looks like a pretty solid lineup. yessir... Os Mutantes, Destroyer, the walkmen...jens lekman...i'm interested in every single act. Wish there was some mroe diversity though.

he must've had a tough childhood.

what they do with those whites is amazing.

seriously...my loyalties lie with the colors...not the manager.

mets have to be considered the best in the NL right now...but if they are beating up on these midgets...then i have no respect for them.

i think sox fans are struggling with this situation... on one hand, from our bowels we feel like ozzie is getting punished for criticizing an ESPN analyst. In reality, its cause he used the horrible epithet for homosexuals which is not acceptable in our society, nor should be in any society over the airwaves. And also...we feel like this is teh time to show the country/town, what a complete ASS marriotti has been to this organization.

seriously...the NL is pretty pathetic then...amirite.
