I disliked the one album I've heard.

I'm sure every celebrity has a family that loves and cares for him or her and might not be amused that some people get a kick out of wagering over their lives.

Shut up, twiztedmind.

Ha. Being that the thread was posted in a folder that features another thread—pinned to the top!—in which people celebrate the deaths of famous people, I hardly see the room for offense. Some dude's dead sister isn't anymore real to me than Heath Ledger. I would go as far to say Ledger was *more* real to me, if only for the fact I've seen him in movies.

He copped that from The Wanting Seed.

I'm repelled by some people being so disingenuous as to claim they would pray for the well-being of a message board handle. Offer your condolences, fine, but this isn't a contest to be holier or more sympathetic than the next guy.

Who the hell is this addressed to?

So did some of you guys really pray to God for "franchise632"? Like, actually say his screenname in your prayers?

Dandy really fits in!

I like Gogo's way of thinking. Kind of like a Hands Across America thing, except for Britney and not poverty.

You think so? While I'll agree that the run of "Re-Make/Re-model" to "2HB" is almost perfect, the second half of the album bores me to tears. Well, "Bitters End" is nice enough, but not so much as to make up for soporific four songs that precede it. Arbitrary Roxy Music Ranking 1. Avalon 2. Siren 3. Country Life 4. For Your Pleasure 5. Stranded 6. s/t 7. Manifesto 8. Flesh + Blood Had the s/t just been an ep of the first five songs, it'd have been at least #2 or maybe even #1.

Dandy's really into this board, huh.

Unless the new Tindersticks album stands up with the old stuff, Detroyer is my favorite currently active band. Seven albums and only one of them less than good.

Why aren't there more people here who realize this. Thanks to Slacker, I've heard an awful lot of Ferry's Dylan covers. On the whole, they're surprisingly great. I really like "A Hard Rain..." and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" in particular. It's also kind of cool and weird that they pop up on a bunch of different albums--yeah, there's a ton compiled on Dylanesque, but I think I've seen at least two separate albums that had just one or two Dylan covers tacked on. Well, his early solo albums were largely covers, and yeah, Dylan's songs would occasionally pop up. I can't stress enough that These Foolish Things is worth anyone's time.

I bet it's terrible.

Speaking of stouts, I'm going to Atlanta for a few days next week and am excited to once again get my hands on Terrapin's Wake 'n' Bake Coffee Oatmeal Stout. http://www.terrapinbeer.com/beers/wake.bake.php One of the best stouts I've ever had.

Do the glasses correct her lazy eye, or had I not previously noticed it?

I want to take an ice pick to your brain, EHME.

Jericho2000Mark, if I respected your opinions, I'd feel they were worth taking seriously.

There's so many terrible people in that folder.

Did someone rat me out to Photobucket?

I loved Hincliffe's voice, particularly how it complimented Stuart's on duets like "People Keep Comin' Around" and "Trouble Every Day." And by "guitar-oriented" I didn't necessarily mean rockier than I did the sort of comparatively straighter arrangments found on the first s/t than on the rest of their output. Which, to me, anyway, isn't a bad thing. Also, re missing members, Hinchliffe is the only serious loss. Stuart Staples and David Boulter have long been the the band's principle songwriters.

Oh, I was being glib. I'll argue that Pharell's done more harm than good in the years since, however.

Still my favorite album from 2002. I wish Pharell had died after recording it.

Have you forgotten how it felt that day? To see your homeland under fire And her people blown away Have you forgotten when those towers fell We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden Have you forgotten?
