Give it up, dude. I stopped caring about having a board persona or whatever a long time ago; your behavior in this thread speaks volumes.

I like that Hoff picks now, long after I stopped with the elitist bastard schtick, to rail against me. You're a slow one, bro. A slow one, indeed.

I was kidding with the DerangedHermit comment earlier, but man.

Way to turn the tables on me, nobody.

Jokes? I made jokes in this thread? Were they good? Bad? You tell me. I saw what was very obviously a real animosity towards me—me, some internet asshole—and got you to bring it out. Just don't confuse your emotional investment in this board and all your wonderful online friends with anything I'm thinking. You're a fucking loser, dude. It must hurt when people piss on your parade of embarassments and outcasts.

Hoff, your fingers don't move fast enough. I haven't all night.

Hoff, you're such a meanie! Let it all out, though. I did this once for DerangedHermit, I can do it for you, too!

Hoff managed to avoid a sophomoric, homophobic cheap shot. Not easy when you're so clearly simmering with rage and contempt.

lol gay jokes!

sweetcherrie. That was a good one, but the Avril board will always be the best.

Talk to me, babe. What's on your mind.

haha, Hoff's upset.

I wanted to make a "report" graphic, but I'm no good at those things.

That makes me lol every time I look at it.

Hoff, my aim sn is in the first post of this page, if you want to talk in private.

The only thing this board was ever good for was invading other boards. And that stopped being funny in 2002.

This reminds me why my aim sn isn't in my profile.

I acknowledged the influence, but have you heard Bowie's Station to Station? It's the album he did before Low; while sounding neither like Low nor Eno, you can hear that he was heading in that direction.

I used to correct spelling errors.

Eno's involvement in Low has always been overstated. Yes, he appears on the album and the work he did on his own throughout the 70s was definitely on Bowie's mind during recording, but the overall execution is Bowie's and producer Tony Visconti's.

Hey, I checked out Emotional Rescue recently. 1980, their first release after their last arguably great album, Some Girls. Not bad, but really, it's Some Girls, pt. 2. Almost every song from that album has a counterpart on the follow-up, but they tear through these songs with so much energy that the end result is very listenable, even if a lot of the material is very thin.

Prince is still a genuis, of course. Don't get me wrong. '80-'87 will forever attest to that, regardless of how much coasting/masturbating his way through albums he's done since. Just like how the Stones are still a great band, in spite of the last quarter-century.

I can give "Winter" a pass, but "Can You Hear the Music" is lightweight. Too much so. Earlier, I was thinking about songs with awesome guitar tones. I mention this here because "Sway" from Sticky Fingers was one of the first songs I thought of. Mick Taylor's guitar detroys.

I would be fine with "Eight Line Poem" as a transitional piece, but one that's track three on an 11-song, 40-minute album? Who needs a break then?
