I guess this will just force poor old JK Rowling to make another bajillion dollars on another book where Harry and Ginny have another kid and enjoy the excitement of their married life.

Thanks! Its good to know that Paul McCartney isn't getting worse and worse like a certain '60s band that should have broken up shortly after The Beatles and whose name I can't mention for fear of being punished with death by the fanatic songfacters.

Yeah and Sirius kinda got shafted there. Why both his parents, whom he never knew, and not his godfather?

I finished HP on Monday...less than 18 hours after I bought it (yes, I did sleep). The ending was expectedly cheesy, and the middle got pretty boring with all the camping out and doing nothing, but all in all it was pretty good. 8.5/10 I just finished 1984 yesterday. I liked it a lot. Made me think. 9/10.

I Want To Hold Your Hand and some others from that time by The Beatles.

Aqualung Jethro Tull 1971 1. Aqualung (6:31) 2. Cross-Eyed Mary (4:09) 3. Cheap Day Return (1:23) 4. Mother Goose (3:52) 5. Wond'ring Aloud (1:56) 6. Up To Me (3:18) 7. My God (7:10) 8. Hymn 43 (3:18) 9. Slipstream (1:13) 10. Locomotive Breath (4:25) 11. Wind-Up (5:42) From Wikipedia: Just thought that Aqualung was a great album, and very interesting with the flute featuring so prominently, and that we needed some Jethro Tull on the MoC list.

I dreamt once that I was playing some kind of performance on saxophone- not my best instrument at the best of times- I think it was some kind of paying gig. I was shoved onto the stage alone and handed a piece of music. As the curtain rose and I tried to sight-read the music, I realized that my sax would not make any sound. I removed the reed, and noticed that, much to my annoyance, it was a number 8 (for those of you that don't play wind instruments, the numbers are measurements of thickness/hardness. A number 8 would have to be about an inch thick). I don't think they even make number 8's. I tried to explain this to the audience, who were as usual obscured by the overly bright stage lights, while searching in my case- can't think why it would be onstage with me- for a more suitable reed, to find that they were all broken. At this point I was thankfully saved from further humiliation by being awoken.

I hope I'm always in the mood for it... I'm really enjoying it.

Never had it, but probably dislike. Coffee

And since I wouldn't expect a lot of people to know Gentle Giant, you can listen to them here: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=118

yes

Octopus- Gentle Giant 1972 1. The Advent Of Panurge (4:45) 2. Raconteur Troubadour (4:03) 3. A Cry For Everyone (4:06) 4. Knots (4:11) 5. The Boys In The Band (4:34) 6. Dog's Life (3:13) 7. Think Of Me With Kindness (3:31) 8. River (5:52) The first thing that struck me, listening to this album, was the band's extraordinary skill with vocal harmonies. Right from the first track Gentle Giant had one person singing one line of lyrics/music and someone else singing another one, yet they somehow managed to make the two separate lines harmonise. I am told that this band is an acquired taste, but after only a week of listening to this album I am enjoying it hugely. Gentle Giant's use of a very wide variety of instruments, all of them real, not synthesized, ensures that the listeners attention is held through the entire album by the contrast in sounds from track to track. It becomes very obvious very quickly that the songs on this album are not just ideas sprung from improvised jams but have been composed ahead of time, with classical influences clearly present. At the end, "Octopus" feels to be perfectly resolved. 9/10.

Yeah same here. Imagine how good you would be if you ever got off the island. Nothing to do all day but practice.

I just got Third by Soft Machine...it's kind of Jazz/Rock fusion. Great sax playing on it.

First CD bought: I'm really not sure, but I think it was Abbey Road. Last CD bought: Third- Soft Machine. This is definetly one of the strangest things I have ever heard. Best spent money on a CD: I dunno, but it would have to be one of my Beatles ones. Biggest suprise to find that the CD was better than you thought it would be: A Farewell To Kings- Rush Most Wanted CD at the moment: In The Court Of The Crimson King- King Crimson- I've wanted it for a while now, but I'm too cheap to pay $22 for it new so I'm just waiting til I see it used. If you were on a desert island, and just one CD, what would it be? Revolver or Sgt. Peppers probably.

On Saturday we voted to resurrect it.

I don't really like Green Day and I wouldn't really call them 'punk' either. I'd say they're more of pop with punk influences. There was a short period of time where I did like them, but, hey, so did everyone else (everyone I knew at least).

Harry Potter 5: I thought they cut out way too much plot, but apparently my parents, who seem to forget the plot immediately after reading it, thought it was ok. Well directed though. I guess they couldn't really have a 6-hour movie.
