The Czech Republic

The Bull is still in a diamond on the bottom of the shorts, but it's also above the name and I HATE that. Um...the Celtics, Red Sox, and Bruins uniforms should never be/have been fucked with. Oh, and the Toronto Raptors looked GOD-AWFUL until they simplified thost things. There was a cartoon dinosaur dribbling on a pinstriped jersey, it was hideous. What do you mean "sometimes in hockey they throw the logo on the front"? Every team but New York does.

How come Chris "I wish you were all killed in the Twin Towers" Coey got to come back as Contentious C, but Anglesault is banned?

I missed it the first time around: this guy says J-Pop is good but Pink Floyd isn't? That explains everything.

I've really been feeling Atom Heart Mother lately, even if the band hates it. The suite itself is great, and the other songs aren't bad either, except Roger's "If." It's another crappy list song. "Fat Old Sun" is nice and relaxing, and "Summer '68" could be covered by Ben Folds, I think, and it's another case for Richard Wright being the most underrated band member. "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" is non-essential.

Edwin, you gotta listen to Atom Heart Mother, now there's some great Floyd. Obscured by Clouds is a great one that gets lost in the shuffle. "Wot's...uh the Deal" should've been a much bigger song.

I think Wish You Were Here is more of an indictment of the music industry, though both, and The Wall for that matter, are heavily based on Syd Barrett. The Dark Side Of The Moon is a study on what causes insanity, with the conclusion that if you're not dead, you're crazy. Roger Waters and friends surveyed people hanging around the studios with questions about these matters (Paul McCartney was surveyed but his comments didn't make the cut) and placed them into the song. The causes of insanity that DSotM points to are wealth (Money), war (Us and Them), death (The Great Gig In The Sky), and time (Time), to name a few. I've heard people add avoiding problems for "On The Run" and drugs for "Any Colour You Like" but those aren't widely accepted. "Speak To Me" and "Breathe" serves as openings and "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" wrap things up. I don't know what you're talking about with long instrumentals and "then they just start singing." To me, everything is done just the way it should be. It is hardly "way out there." A lot of the music is really rather simple. But Money is in 7/4 time. w00t! The Wizard Of Oz synchronicity is not intentional. Bear in mind that there were no VCRs and CD players in 1973, so even if you were just watching it on TV, you'd have to flip the record over between "Great Gig In The Sky" and "Money" and then you'd lose your place. Also, some of the connections they make are really a reach. So yeah that should just about cover it. Enjoy the album.

Maybe the party is a firm believer in "third times a charm"? Let's hope that it's more like "three strikes, you're out."

I thought it was "Republicans want McAuliffe to stay," but hey, whatever sinks their boat.

My grandfather died from esophageal cancer. That's an evil disease.

I can't sing without technical assistance.

Incandenza looks like a Colt .45 man to me.

The Rose Bowl seems to have fallen out of the rotation for Super Bowl sites, despite the NFL wanting to be in LA sooooooo bad!

It was implied throughout the whole course of the post, and by way of that post, the whole thread.

One of the best in the country?? They're THE BEST MARCHING BAND IN THE UNIVERSE!

Viva Hate is my favorite Moz album. I didn't like Maladjusted and Vauxhall and I was hit or miss.

Is the first track the "Estonians call Americans fat pigs" song? I forgot the name. That song is shitty. "Irish Blood English Heart" is cool though, I can't imagine how great it would be with some good Marr jangling rather than the shitty punk rock music behind it.

By the way, the AFC proves why they should expand to 16 teams in the playoffs but the NFC proves why they should not.

Czech Republic = Veruca Salt I WANT CARLOS BELTRAN RIGHT NOW, DADDY!

Let's summarise the thread in a way to make my side look smart and articulate and the other side look like stupid mouth-breathers. We call this the Franken Method. Here goes: "There's Patriots media bias and it shows." "no way d00d they like teh Vicks and Stelerz becuz Ben is a ruky, no way" "Yes way. As a matter of fact, they are constantly lauded as the best team in the NFL despite few convincing victories. And Tom Brady is loved by the ESPN crew in what's almost a latent homosexual fashion." "yah well they espn an they r st00pid hah" "Well stupid or not, they're ESPN, and their opinions reach a huge part of sports-watching America." "teh Patriots don't get bias they need more" "On the contrary, this cannot be possible." "....yah whatever they like the Flacons betters"

My grandfather listened to Frank Zappa. He owned Hot Rats and a few others on vinyl and/or open reel. That's so cool.

You should feel that way: after all, it's YOUR money, YOU earned it. NoCalMike's crippled buddy isn't your burden.

Best Zappa interview comment: Interviewer (who had a leg amputated):"You have long hair. That makes you a woman." FZ: "You have a wooden leg. That makes you a table."

Hilarious. The Rockies "rebuilding?" No way. Get the fuck out of here. The Rockies seem like they're never in nor out of contention.

I love that seeing your wife every day constitutes an "unusual marriage."

The glass is half full of PEOPLE? Soylent Clear? Oh God oh God oh God
