  2. MSG, 12-31-2007 1: Mike's Song ...
  3. was a great show. im too tired to fluff this up, but here are the bullets. six piece band: her on vocals; three guys on lead guitar, drums, keys/flutes/accordian, and; two girls on bass (i LOVE female bassists) and fiddle/violin. sinead wore a mans business suit all night, which added oddness to her already understated, shy demeanor on stage. her vocals are STUNNING and powerful and were complimented beautifully by female harmonies. the crowd LOVED her and she seemed to love that. about 90 minutes total. for what I can recall, she played: Emperor's New Clothes I'm Stretched Over Your Grave Thief of Your Heart Throw Down Your Arms Something Beautiful If You Had a Vineyard Nothing Compares to 2 U Three Babies What Doesnt Belong To Me The Last Day of Our Acquaintance Thank You for Hearing Me Encores: Black Boys on Mopeds Rivers of Babylon New Song (from upcoming movie to be released on xmas day) although, im forgetting a few songs as well.
  4. despite all of her personal drama, i really like her music. i hope that she can get it together.

  6. too bad it was the Lennon kid with no less talent who showed up
  7. when driving down to Ellicottville, an hour south of Buffalo, its not uncommon for various local volunteer fire departments along Route 219 to block the road with their fire engines and request/extort money from you as you drive by. the amusing part is that they are in full gear and literally hold out a big rubber boot for you to toss your "toll" into.
  8. funny y'all are discussing this today because i just retrieved from my mailbox here at work a very thick envelope from human resources specifically addressed to me, which contained a letter, large glossy pamphlet, long donation form as well as a return envelope from, guess where ... the United Way. certainly a worthy charity, but i wonder about their cost ratio in sending out such an expensive package. the canadian charity cost ratio "benchmark" is said to be 26% - for every dollar you give, 74 cents goes to actual programs. united way claims cost ratios less than 20%, but it's an umbrella organization which filters money down to other charities like big sisters, etc, which in turn would have administrative costs associated with this funding. personally, i dont give at work, or generally at my home door (unless it's a neighbour I know). i do put change in the slot in the dog's head for the humane society. but gosh, ive never been followed into the bathroom at work ... well, you know, for a charitable donation, i mean.
  9. Theme #305: Songs that have an unofficial 2nd title, list only the "2nd title". Maybe other people can guess the actual name of the song, if they want to. if they want to. 1. Bob Dylan - Mother Revisited 2. Hawkwind - Assassins Of Allah 3. Grateful Dead - To Unlimited Devotion 4. Woody Guthrie - Blowin' Down This Road 5. Dave Matthews Band - #36 6.

  10. agreed. sure sounds like dick dale. very distinctive. not sure what songs begin with X, though. M sounds like Multi Colour something, and from a Bollywood soundtrack or something. and Q sounds like something by Modest Mouse to me. Ive heard it before, and think I have it, but like so many on this list, it's just on the tip of my tongue.
  11. Theme #304: Songs that reference dreaming. 1. Grateful Dead - To Lay Me Down 2. Roots Roundup - Sleepin' 3. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Angel Dream (no.2) 4. Mission of Burma - 1001 Pleasant Dreams 5. Neil Young - Hippie Dream 6. Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's 115th Dream 7. Cheap Trick - Dream Police 8. Kate Bush - The Dreaming 9. 10. 11. 12. my favourite all time opening lyric: bang! goes another kanga On the bonnet of the van.
  12. L is Love Will Tear Us Apart believe it or not
  13. the ones that jump out at me right away are: Enter sandman I feel fine New Years day Town called malice Umbrella Voodoo Child YMCA and it pains me that I know um ber ella funny how so many of them seem familiar
  14. ... he speaks the truth ... unless of course ... you can read two things at once ...
  15. please, this is a legendary show. their first Vegas blow-out. Elvishes, Claypool and a drugged out Harpua. the second set was one huge jam. this show raised the bar for all phish shows to follow and flatly silenced their these-guys-just-aren't-as-good-as-the-Dead critics.
  16. i call bullshit. 23) Gordon Lightfoot, Gord's Gold, Reprise, 1975 31) Neil Young, Decade, Reprise, 1977 are both greatest hits compilations.
  17. You readz goodz im sure he meant only one album in the top 20, AD. but carry on nit-picking hehe ...
  18. for what album, though? he never had a smash hit album with more than one high charting single. agreed, his overall career is one of the best, but this list is for top albums. that's the problem with this sorta thing.
  19. yeah, tells me that Bob Mersereau is an old fuck
