QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 15, 2008 -> 01:04 PM) What the heck does that mean? Pretty much every episode is a cliffhanger so couldn't they say the finale started 8 episodes ago and part 9 is tonight? But season finale cliffhangers offer 1.5 times as much WTF as intra-season ones!

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Sep 15, 2007 -> 12:26 PM) I've got it too. "Bouncin' Off The Walls" is easily my favorite track on the Talent Fest CD. Talk about a great PNS beat. I also love the Undaground Solution track "Sandbox". Funny, I just googled it and it's as if it didn't exist! Like three results on the entire intarweb. Must rip this for the world!

I will peep them. I purchased Vakill's album because of a gushing Reader article and was sorely disappointed, then DLed the first one thinking it'd be better, and while the similes were clever (if a bit stylistically outdated-sounding), I didn't really get into the music. The beats were well-produced from a sound quality standpoint but nothing grabbed me. Thanks for the calm response. I was a little buzzed/ornery last night, hence my Kanye-esque tone. BTW, I purchased the Talent Fest CD when it came out based on hearing "Bouncin' Off The Walls" on WHPK. Do I get any oldschool props for that?

Re: Molemen: Those guys fell the f__k off and were never that great, only solid and prolific. The beats on Vakill's last album were lifeless. Re: Finding Forever: Every song is pretty memorable, has a really organic feel. I think it will stand up well. It's aimed at the mainstream (which is fine) so it's kind of absurd to compare it to a backpacker classic like Resurrection. Re: Graduation: Just listened to it on headphones for the first time on a LONG CTA trip home. The beats and production are glossy and amazing. HJ, on "Big Brother" he says "No ID my mentor" on every chorus. As for lyrics, I think what people (including myself) like about Ye is that it's just raw uncensored personality put into verse. Yeah right now it's as much about the life of a celebrity as anything else but that's what he is now--a Chicago kid turned into a huge celeb--so it's "real" in a weird way. I'd rather hear ANYONE putting their raw unfiltered expression on a rap than some contrived bulls***.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 03:38 PM) You still living in Uptown? Emotionally, yeah!

Penicillin on Wax has great beats and memorable, if crude, lyrics. His album with Kool Keith as Ultra, Big Time, has actually stood the test of time pretty well. At the very least he's provided vocal samples for hardcore techno artists (e.g. "Step to me if you're ready/You get chopped with a motherf***in' machete") for decades to come.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 04:13 PM) Link here. bad link.

Good to hear but WTF took them so long? I've watched the once (somewhat) bustling commercial strip of Halsted St. shrivel up while USCF turned into a suburban-style tailgater's paradise. Truly depressing. The mayor and the whole rest of the city gets the Urbanism thing, why does Daley's team and 'hood not?

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) CG SOHey dawg, how long you had your sig?

I can't get into chicks I've seen go from little girls to "women". Feel like a dirty old uncle.

Screw being excited about the wild card race, the sox are playing crappy baseball and the wild card is a joke. If my Illini are crappy in basketball next year you gonna tell me that we still have a shot at the Big 10 championship cause of the conference tournament?

you guys are a bunch of dorks

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 03:00 PM) The rules do not apply to cops. duh. they can go through lights and drive the wrong way on one way streets too. oh and carry guns. seriously, it's not as if they enforce the cellphone while driving ban.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) I just don't think the Cubs would ever deal us one of their star players (or even fallen stars such as Prior) simply because of the manner in which it would upset their fans.Plus Zambrano acts like a big annoying baby. Man it's a good thing I'm not a GM, eh?

QUOTE(BoKnows @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) if you got pitchfork, make sure you check out Os Mutantes.My woman is a huge fan of theirs, and is very excited to see them. Can't believe they're last!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 09:41 AM) Correct. I'd say the land was stolen by the people responsible for creating the state of Israel to being with, which was catastrophic for the region and is the primary reason that things have been so ugly there for the last 50 years.hmm, so kind of like high-rise public housing, it was a well-intentioned blunder? You could be right. I've heard people glibly say "They should have given the Jews Bavaria."

I am going to Pitchfork both days. Forgot Ted Leo's playing. Hopefully not at the same time as one of the techno peeps I was excited to see. Agree about Weezer, first two albums are genius. LOL on the POTUSA ref. Great song. Peaches the artist is pretty great too. Go see her live if you can. For being just one person on stage she can be incredible. The show at the Abbey where she was climbing on the balcony was legendary.

Israelis stole their land? I thought it was given to them for that stuff they endured at the hands of the Germans.

DJ is very prepared and knows the whole league. Easy to be a hater when you're on sports radio in Nashville, TN. I don't hate him like others, but I don't want Farmer on TV.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:20 PM) What? No comments? Come on fellas, if you were around in the 70's and like your Free, Grand Funk Railroad, Aerosmith etc, listen to The Answer at either of the links above and you will not be disappointed. Think of The Darkness but without the tongue in cheek spandex. They are currently supporting Whitesnake and blowing them away. There debut album (out this week) has been reviewed by Kerrang! magazine who call it the best debut album ever.Sorry Deplo, but I don't really like those bands and I was barely around in the 70s! However, I did get back from Leeds last week. I liked it a lot. I must say we didn't go to any places off the beaten path, unless you count being dragged to the Blue Leopard cause it was the only place with any kind of activity on a Tuesday night.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 08:48 AM) why are you looking to type in quote just reply and either edit a post or take stuff out. or if its a quote elsewhere highlight it and click quoteI'm a keyboard guy. It was quicker for me to type the tags rather than click the quote thingy. Anyway, I gave up as you can see.

Is the M1 or whatever album that bad/apolitical? I guess I could DL or look the lyrics up on ohhla... They did say they have a proper Dead Prez album coming out in the late summer/fall. Like I said every song sure seemed political to me.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) This show is all about the jokes. The acting is terrible, the plots are thin...but, it's hilarious. Who doesn't like a dirty joke?You forgot the part about his wife being hot. Amazing, I know--a show featuring a schmoey guy with a hot wife?

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) You need spaces after and before the [ ] . That was me playign around in your post trying to decipher. I ended up copying and playing and that worked (adding the spaces). Didn't work for me. Wonder if I do it in IE...
