Swingin the way we did against this team builds confidence that will lead us into the next series...i think we really are gonna get hot... WHO HERE WANTS A PATENTED FIRST HALF 7 GAME SOX WINNIN STREAK (strizzle)

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 11:57 PM) He is Zeroed in! awesome hit by arow...

i don't care if NIU lost...they played damn hard vs. michigan and barring those stupid turnovers who knows what could've happened...the nation got to see how talented garret wolfe is...

thanks man i never really could get into gangstarr...it was too much spoken word for me...

i've given what little money i have to the red cross...and i still think that bush did a s*** job and that the lower income status of most of the people stranded is a reason tehy didn't get as much help... so what the f*** does that make me?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) Classic and timeless. People grip Tupac's nuts, he didn't have s*** on Rakim. Whatever happened to hip-hop? I don't know...listening to the more gritty beats really just made me despise how clean everything is now. Everything really is way to over produced (now i'll pump up saul williams) do you have any other hip hop albums around that time i should get? I really just have eric b. and rakims s*** and then rakims solo

Ben Magnuson

I was just listening to Eric B. and Rakim's Paid in full in its entirety last night, i played it at a party i was having...and it was soooo good...

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 02:27 AM) Leave Harris in, see if he can have a multi homerun game. haha

this is refreshing and relaxing eh everyone?

doesn't that cost money?

I HATE BEING IN MISSOURI!

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) Man...I've been taking a beating around this place lately. You would think I deserved it or something because I was overly opinionated. at least its better than this story: this girl was at this lecture from a guest speaker who was a leading DJ in the field of 'sampling' and such...and the girl asked a question on where he'd found the samples or something to that accord, to which this speaker took offense ... (paraphrased) "What do you mean by sampled? If I were to take a field recording, and render the sounds completely different, and use it in my set, would it be sampling? If i were to take sounds from an artist and make them into a whole different tempo as to be unrecognizable, is that sampling? Besides, every artist 'samples'. Every noise created on a guitar, is inherently sampling from the inventor of the guitar, because with this instrument he also created every sound on it. So unless they create their own instrument, they are sampling his noises" This is of course complete bulls***...because YES, if he takes a field recording it is sampling because it was someone elses sounds, that they composed, and if he takes an artists beats, even changing them, he started off by 'sampling' someone elses notes. And Saying you have to invent an instrument to have the sounds be original is like saying i am sampling from apple because i'm using their machine to type... Sorry, a bit off topic but i hate soo many djs...(i would say all but i heart dj shadow, aphex twin and four tet(though he doesn't sample i don't think), and the go! team)

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I listened to the clap your hands say yeah the other day with my buddies, I couldnt deal with the monotonous lyrics and the average music... The Dears are ok, the guy does have a good voice. the only things that get on my nerves from CYHSY is they really are just like a compilation of a lot of bands mixed into one, which makes me worry if this abundance of good music in the scene is ending, or if this band was just very good at mixing a variety of influences. But songs like yellow country teeth with that opening twang bit of guitar and Heavy metal, the way he sings what ever happened to heavy metal in such a peculiar, and awesome way, it makes the songs. They aren't the most original band out there but they put out a damn good debut and thats worth the attention they recieved.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 08:17 PM) I was asking about Death Cab. I missed the other stupid band name. pretty good band though.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 07:46 PM) OH...them... Man, I think I have fallen out of touch with music to a degree. Back to my Bing Crosby and Andrew Sisters CD. I checked out the Death Cab though... were you talking about them or clap your hands say yeah?...cause both kind of suck

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 07:06 PM) IMO the new Death Cab for Cutie cd is awesome. i guess for death cab fans it could be an alright cd... and i'm listening to the dears no cities lost...don't lose the faith is a great song...it does seem to be a bit cliche, at points it almost feels like cover songs? The man has a great voice though...(especially when i was just listening to Clap your hands say yeah)

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) Ska always just sounds really goofy to me. I always expect to see juggling clowns running around. I LOVE Marley, but have never heard any other reggae I've really liked. even peter tosh?

QUOTE(Spiff @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 05:45 AM) 1) I read an article in AP about Ian Curtis's last days a few months ago. Really chilling stuff, comments from the band about how they didn't have any idea what was going on with him. I don't care if Joy Division/New Order gets a ton of pub, they spawned a whole (latent) generation of imitators. 2) Pelican - The fire in our throats will beckon the thaw = awesome album. i can listen to a song of pelican and be happy, but an entire album gets played out real quick... i don't think as many people would know joy division today if it wasn't for "imitators"...people who use them now most of the time just want to sound cool

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) I didn't know Timo was a rookie? hahaha

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) Can someone fill me in as far as talking about these 'snipers'? I haven't been paying enough attention to this, shame on me, but can someone tell me a little bit about what's going on...? i guess a bunch of maniac looters had stolen a bunch of guns and are basically confronting and threatening medical workers. Right now, those people have the power for prolly the first time in their lives and are ruining others because of it. A sniper was shooting at a humvee convoy evacuating patients from the flooded hospital in NO

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) Looks like I should be investing in some gas prices. Wow, s*** is just getting outrageous. Though in Europe, isn't it around 5 bucks a gallon? most of that's their own doing...

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) I agree Crooked and Slanted are both solid. What's new that I should get my hands on? Any recommendations? from pavement? um...new stuff i got is new 'the new pornographers' - twin cinema, and thats really good pop, i just got a bunch of belle and sebastian but what i've been listening to non stop basically is animal collective - sung tungs and an advance of animal collective - feels as well as teh new broken social scene.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 08:57 PM) I'm not a fan of any of that stuff, really. It just doesn't move me at all. Pavement I like a lot. "Slanted and Enchanted" is timeless. for me, crooked rain, crooked rain slightly edges out slanted and enchanted...then it goes wowee zowee, terror twilight, and brighten the corners...i don't dislike any pavement album...which is pretty ridiculous when i think about how few bands i can say that about.
