Iโm still living in the past. Glad to see some of my Songfacts peepZ are still around ๐ด๐ฝโ๐ฝ๐

Iโm still here. I joined back in 2004, so thatโs approximately 15 years ago. Good to see some of youse and hope to discuss music, movies, books, and video games - if at least once in a while ๐โ๐ฝ๐๐๐

I thought Black Friday and Cyber Monday were waaaaay drawn out into weeks and maybe even the whole freakinโ month. The โdealsโ werenโt that good towards the end of this year. I managed to get better deals before Black Friday. The only saving grace was Barnes & Nobleโs Criterion and Arrow video sales (50% off!). If youโre a film buff and collectr0, then you KNOW this is a sale to not be missed ๐๐บ๐ธ๐

We went to see him a coupla months ago at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Good show ๐โ๐ฝ๐๐๐

DVD players can be made into multi-region players when you enter a specific code for that brand model. BRD players donโt have that - itโs hardware issues when it comes to those. Itโs one of the reasons why I generally stick to DVDs.

Itโs almost 2019 now hahah. I joined when I was 24... Iโm almost 39 now ๐ด๐ฝโ๐ฝ๐๐๐

U2 I like early U2, but thatโs as far as it goes. I donโt ride for the later stuff.

The Taliban does like some types of music. If you listen to the spoken Quran at a mosque, itโs actually recited - kinda like a song. A society devoid of music is a dead one at its core. Thankfully, music exists everywhere, regardless of whether there are humans/intelligence to discern it and enjoy it.

I miss you, too, Edna ๐ด๐ฝโ๐ฝ๐๐๐

Ooopsie That's not how it's supposed to look, folks. Sorry 'bout that How is the situation with malpractice lawsuits there in Japan?

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20050706-1620-kidnapping.html Big commotion at the university. I had no clue what was going on. Turns out there was a car stolen with some brat in the backseat. What spectacular stupidity on behalf of this broad. Leaves the kid in the car while she goes shopping

Hey, angel. Have you given Razed In Black a spin? I tend to remember back in my dressed-in-black daze, Romell and co. used to draw a similar sort of reaction from the gals
-
I tend to think the same thing about Bryan Ferry, David Sylvian, and Chris Isaak. At his last concert, Chris Isaak did a good rockabilly version of Cheap Trick's "I Want You To Want Me" :guitar: Oh man. I wish I had that on cd
-
Don't you guys have places that sell used cds? I haven't bought a new cd in a couple of years. I buy from Amazon vendors; there's also Amoeba in LA and Rasputin in NorCal Some of their used cd prices are ridiculously low. I think the cheapest cd I bought was a Naked Soul e.p. which was out of print at the time... it cost me fitty cent

... as opposed to Rock, Punk, Goth, Techno, Country, and Folk music? I was reading this topic and it made me think... "but the point of the show was to bring awareness to the plight of Africans living in poverty, not the bad-word count of each artist or if what they sing constitutes as 'music' (which it does)."

We don't get to see many films from South America, with the exception of Brasil. They're the only rivals to Mexico when it comes to film and television (though Venezuela and Colombia make some good telenovelas :: ). French films started to get bad from about 1980 on. Once in a while there is something really good coming from France, but nowhere near as cool as the New Wave stuff from the late 50s and 60s, or the Eurotrash from the 70s

That be the one

Yeah, you WOULD be the first member I'd think of when it came to Wacky Packages

Uuuh. If only I had all night to sit here and list them Here are some which have come to mind: Solaris (1972 version) The Seventh Seal Orpheus (1949 version) The Nights Of Cabiria Royal Space Force: The Wings Of Honneamise Taxi Driver The 400 Blows The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner These are cinematic perfection
-
Uh. Yeah? They also have a really good cover of The Doors' "People Are Strange" that was featured in The Lost Boys. I have most of their albums and I'd say their early stuff is what you're looking for. Their first four albums got high ratings on amg, if that means anything
-
Correct. If it weren't for that, NewOrder would've died at their first album
-
It's weird. On AMG, it doesn't mention anything if BOC sampled anything for the song, but Cabaret Voltaire has the same tune inserted in "Do The Mussolini (Headkick)" and so does the video game Splatterhouse. I guess it's kinda apropos that a horror video game should have a "reaper" song :: I thought maybe that little guitar solo was derived from some old song, but it was theirs all along
-
I heard a cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game". Normally, the mere thought of that would make me cringe and run amuck lambasting Black Metal, but this one was surprisingly good. Whoever the guy from H.I.M. is has decent chops to tackle some of the high notes.

4 Satisfactory for the moment. It's a real struggle for the slow readers

I always pulled for the Rockers. The Mods were these whiny middle class/suburban kids with nothing else going for them except their 20 mirrored Lambrettas. Suffice to say, I love the concept of orchestrating a whole score around the images like The Who did in Quadrophenia and Tommy.
