Ha! So did I! I broke down and finally picked up Three Days Grace - S/T..... DAMN! Some hard rocking nu-metal fo sho! Won't appeal to everyone here, but I've LOVED it so far! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah...the wife loves that album!!! Whip..you REALLY need to hear the Closure cd if you haven't already! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Listening to "Look Out Below" right now...not bad at all.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> HOW are you listening? Where? What? I tried to find even a sample of "Crushed".......but nada. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try here.... Closure samples

Did a little Modern Rock during the lunch today.......listened to a real good one: Closure ~ "s/t".....their are two perfect tracks on the album 'Afterglow' and 'Crushed'.....excellent songs!!!

Hari Kari demos............would've loved to hear more from this band!

Jungle Alley demos

How's the quality of the Kiss My Ass video?? I've been thinking about buying it, but I wasn't sure about th quality of it... Is it really good? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, the quality depends......there is material taken from the very early to mid 70's and it's a bit grainy...a lot of the old commercials that they show *which I think are priceless* aren't the greatest quality...but hell, I couldn't expect more. Some of the material is priceless.......and, for me....essential!! And...truth be told...I'm a huge KISS fan...and I LOVED it....!!!

Hmmm....I dunno....I'm a little young for Mae West!!! To stay on topic....just finished the Rocknee 4 song demo and put in: Streetwyze Wasn't that an old 'tag line' from Mae West too? Followed by "Come up and see me sometime......" <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Love that Judas Priest DVD....and speaking of....three new DVD's that I've been watching are: KISS ~ "Kiss My Ass".....very cool...a lot of old material....excellent!! HIM ~ "Video Anthology: 1997 - 2003" Judas Pries ~ "Angel of Retribution"....cool live stuff..and interviews!

Rocknee ~ 4 track demo Interestingly enough.....long before Danger Danger's song of a very similar title....the first track uses that same line.."when I'm Good..I'm Good...When I'm Bad I'm even Better"....

Getting back to 'MUSIC'...I've thrown Ana Black "She's a Tease" on....

Excellent stuff!!

So, what did ya get??!!!

On the way in to the office I played the new Judas Priest "Angel of Retribution"....and it RAWKED!!

I have sold enough stuff on ebay to know there are no costs in filling out customs slips putting an item in an envelope! Postage costs should cover the postage & the packaging with maybe a little added for ebay charges,but profit is made on the items themselves,so how is anyone eating the costs of doing business? I buy from plenty of mail order companies & for the most part I have not come across anyone with "handling" charges other than an electrical company I had to order stuff from as it was the only place I could get the items I needed! A lot of companies I use now even offer free postage! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh...so there's no 'cost' to your time involved in all of those actions??!! Your time is certainly worth something...I know mine is.....and if it's not...then you're just not being a smart businessman.... To assume that 'profit' is already in the final auction price for an item is rediculous. Especially if it's something that doesn't have a reserve or a buy it now price. An auction, otherwise, can go for ANY amount of money....be it $1..or $1000 so how on Earth could you make that assumption that the 'profit' is already in the items cost???...that's just plain silly.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Any "businessman" who lists an item for less than they paid for it is not a "businessman"! And please learn to spell "ridiculous" when you keep levelling the insult at people! The "ridiculous" people are those that list an item for less than you paid! The only time anyone should be selling something for less than they paid for it is to shift goods you no longer want & just wanna sell to get rid of it! A "businessman" selling goods for less than they paid & hiding the costs in the postage is just a con artist duping those people who get over excited & bid before checking postage costs! As for it costing me time & money going to the Post office,nope,still dispute that one! Yes I use fuel,but: a)its minimal B)I take multiple packages at once c)I combine the journey with other shopping needs etc d)its done on my own time,or on my way to work so I lose no money <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cap'n.....spell checking me..........nice one... But the bottom line is...that I AM a businessman, my friend. And not some internet or small-time business...a REAL Engineering and Construction Co. in Houston, Texas so you're not arguing with some 'rinky dink' eBay seller. And people do 'business' in other ways than others.....just like some are more sucessful than others.....so, it's up to you to run your 'business' as you see fit. The only thing that I totally disagree with .....and this shows some insight into how YOU run your 'business'....is that if YOU do not see your own time as worth anything...than that makes no sense. In 'business'...ones time is ALWAYS worth something...or else we'd be working for free...... Also, we're talking AUCTIONS here........the line you use where you say: "The "ridiculous" people are those that list an item for less than you paid! The only time anyone should be selling something for less than they paid for it is to shift goods you no longer want & just wanna sell to get rid of it! " ...this statement pertains to retail business......from Lindsay's statement, I thought we were discussing 'auction' type business. And, to go one step further.....there are retail businesses...right here...like Best Buy, etc. that sell items at...or slightly less than cost.....so, you're supposition that they do it to move merchandise..while partially true, isn't wholly true. These businesses do this to attract customers...to lure them into the store to buy those items so that they can get the 'traffic' to see the rest of the items in the store. So...it's done all the time, Cap'n.... And here is something that we can TOTALLY agree on.... "A "businessman" selling goods for less than they paid & hiding the costs in the postage is just a con artist duping those people who get over excited & bid before checking postage costs!" Yes...any hiding of any type of cost is wrong. But....if those costs are listed, then it's the bidders fault...not the sellers. As a consumer...you have the right NOT to be duped....but you also owe it to yourself to be smart...and educated about any purchase and READ all the fine print, etc. And that, my friend...is doing good 'business'.....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lindsay...like I said in my prior post. If it's INDICATED in the auction how much it will cost then there's no question. BUT...if someone were to say to you 'after the fact' that you now owe an additional money...then, yes...you're right..that would be wrong...

Haha...thanks, Mike.....but flattery will not get you that cd you've been begging for!!

One of...if not THE best source for 'our' type of new releases!! HIGHLY recommended!!

I went with Van Halen...

No offense Lindsay...but THIS line is 'garbage'... "What a load of garbage! By actually submitting a listing on ebay you automatically accept that you're gonna have to pack it up and send it." First off...why wouldn't someone's time be considered compensatory? To say that they already accept that because they're auctioning an item off is rediculous. Look around the world....and notice the "shipping and HANDLING" charges that vendors charge people who buy things through the mail, etc. EBay isn't any different..... And...if it's clearly stated what those costs are going to be ahead of time, then as the buyer you should be fully aware what the costs will be. Now...the argument to discuss maybe what is considered a 'fair and reasonable' amount is another discussion....but no seller on this Earth should be considered to EAT the cost of doing business......

Slikk... That cd is EXTREMELY rare and expensive. It's sleazy hard rock......excellent stuff. Came out in the early nineties....band was from Utah. I had two about a year or so ago...but those are looooooooooong gone!!! Maybe Anamal or MButt has one lying around...but I'm not sure! To stay on topic: Now Playing: Enya ~ "The Celts"...track..Boadicea

Wicked Teaze ~ "s/t"

Vice ~ "Hot Just Lookin' at You"....title track....

Nice! Am I the only one who got fooled by track 1? I thought my receiver was blown... fuckers... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They're regular comedian's..those guys... But they have some GREAT gothic metal tunes......and yeah...I might have been a bit miffed by their 'tricks'....haha Now Playing: Samples from the Italian band: Razzle Dazzle

Leiahdorus ~ 'Ashes, Ashes'..."Wake"
