  1. That was genius.
  2. In 'California Girls' I thought Mike Love was singing 'wide-eyed dog' when in fact he was singing 'Hawaiian Island Doll'....
  3. I vaugely remember after the fall, Shane McMahon saying 'Oh My God, Oh My God' in a segment backstage, which seems a bit tasteless looking back. I think it was something to do with Vince coming out or going in to an ambulance?? Anyway, I think they showed this when they knew the match wouldn't be going ahead.
  4. Maude Flanders
  5. I love Mike's values and would like to subcribe to his newsletter.
  6. Luxuries in life? Listen to Mike: only rich people deserve cable.
  7. I'm letting my hair grow again. I hate short hair, and the long hair had a certain 'cult' value, plus I need something to take the attention away from my face.
  8. I listened to Pet Sounds twice last night, first in mono and then in stereo. Neither is a good mix. What an album though.
  9. You should maybe take into account that she is young and mistakes will be made, eh? No heaven for her! Burn in eternal HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
  10. You bought a two-headed kid?
  11. When I want to hear perfection I'll put on the second part of Abbey Road. But I generally don't listen to them that much.
  12. At 17, you were dressing up as The Hurricane. Have a heart.
  13. There are certain albums which I have that I just don't ever listen to and I know quite a few people in the same situation. Travis: Good Feeling - I've listened to this once and it's really not very good. Now don't get me wrong, I like Travis but this is their worst album by far. Their latest compilation has the best songs from this album on it, so I doubt I'll ever listen to this again. Same goes for The Man Who: grossly over-rated when it came out - who listens to this now?? The Clash: London Calling - It's terrible but I've only put this one on once and I didn't even get through it all. I know it's great and all, but I can't be bothered listening to it. Radiohead: The Bends - Some great songs, but I just can't get through it at all. Their sound is ... an acquired taste I can't be bothered acquiring. Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers - I've never really got the Stones ( I blame the bands who have ripped them off so much since ) and this album I've only ever heard once. But I am currently listening to it now and 'Brown Sugar' is something I should be playing repeatedly. REM - Around The Sun - I got this album the day it came out and knew what to expect. I've heard it twice and it's not good at all. Background music that is difficult to put up with.
  14. How did you start to like the bands or artists you now listen to? Was it just by chance, intentional or otherwise? REM: REM were the first proper band I liked. I had heard some of their stuff on the radio, like 'Great Beyond' and 'Imitation Of Life' but hadn't heard any of their albums. I was in this music store one day and saw the 80s compilation Eponymous for a pretty cheap price. I looked at the back and saw songs which I'd never heard before, but I was interested in this. So I take it home and wow, it was amazing! I couldn't get over it, I wore out that disc before I eventually got everything else they did, as soon as possible. The Beach Boys: I'm a little embarrassed to say that I was quick to dismiss the Beach Boys when I first heard them. My dad had come back from a Brian Wilson concert with a couple of albums: a Beach Boys compilation, a Brian Wilson live disc and a solo album. I remember having a discussion over dinner that I thought all the Beach Boys music sounded the same. Then I actually listened up. I don't know what the turning point, but the following year was pure obssession. I listened to them every day, got everything I could get my hands on and I still do to this day. If I ever tire of them, I've got all these books and albums I need to shift. The Velvet Underground: I became interested in the VU because REM guitarist Peter Buck said they were one of his main influences in writing. I picked up Velvet Underground & Nico and it was just one of those albums I got right away, which doesn't happen a lot. Amazingly, I've not bought any other VU albums since. I guess they are too expensive and hard to get where I live. The Byrds: Another Peter Buck influence was Roger McGuinn's 12 string sound. I bought a very bad Byrds compilation (30 minutes long!) but when I first heard songs like 'Eight Miles High' I became very interested. Not my favourite band or anything, but I like their style. Love: This was a total fluke. I saw Forever Changes for a low price and picked it up and loved it. It was so unpredictable, weird and the sound was really intriguing. I'm hoping to see Arthur Lee in concert maybe next month, the guy's really great. The Doors: I got into the Doors for probably the wrong reasons. 1) I was told I looked like Jim Morrison by someone in work and 2) I saw the controversial Doors movie with Val Kilmer. I got the debut album soon after and wow, in less than a month I got the rest. The Doors are my favourite band at the moment. The Beatles: It's pretty hard not to like The Beatles, but I was mostly restricted to hearing their singles and not their albums. It was when I got into the Beach Boys that I started to listen to things like Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road. I don't listen to them all that much though. I quite like their early non-singles stuff. The Smiths: I downloaded a compilation of The Smiths but really wasn't interested in anything else. I liked their singles, but not much else. I went through a stage of really disliking Morrissey, but a mate of mine is a Smiths fanatic. So he got us tickets to see him live in concert and even though I didn't know half the stuff that was played, I enjoyed it quite a bit and started to listen to all the Smiths material. You Are The Quarry and Viva Hate are the only solo albums I've heard but they are really good. Franz Ferdinand: I bought into the hype, plus I'm from Scotland so I was interested. They are by far the best band in the main stream rock circuit just now. I'll go and see them live when I can be bothered.
  15. Will they have a ladder match with Lita dangling from the roof?
  16. I'm glad at least someone values your opinion, even if it is you.
  17. You can do no right.
  18. Dylan: Highway 61 Revisited.
  19. Beach Boys: California Girls/Surfin' USA Beatles: Take your pick - She Loves You? Doors: Break On Through/Light My Fire REM: Everybody Hurts/Losing My Religion Byrds: Mr Tambourine Man The Who: My Generation Rolling Stones: Satisfaction Smiths: How Soon Is Now/Panic Kinks: You Really Got Me Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody John Lennon: Imagine Black Sabbath: Paranoid Deep Purple: Smoke On The Water Eric Clapton: Layla
  20. Give her a mohawk.
  21. I got a knockback on the 15th!
