Yeesh.... can you say "bitch on a stick"? I'd use this one:

Well, last night saw Vick come down to earth a bit, although there was a lot that wasn't his fault. There were a couple of completely fucked-up drops on the part of Eagle receives. Jason Avant, WTF??? That was horrific. The Eagles should have been leading 21-3 at the half, not 13-3. Still, a win is a win... -Dan

Easy man, I know you're upset, but I think you misunderstood what he was saying. He was just speculating that it might have been random crime due to all the recent drug-related problems in the southwest. There's been a lot of innocent-victim random crime down there as of late. What used to be strictly relegated to the other side of the border has been making incursions into the U.S. It's a dangerous place to be. I don't think he meant anything other than that. -Dan

Overdue.

Sarcasm fail. What you seem to fail to grasp is that it's not so much what you are saying that repeatedly gets you in trouble, but rather HOW you choose to express yourself. And lest you think that I have a beef with you, it's only when I've gotten multiple complaints from other members and/or moderators that action has been taken. Obligatory on-topic content: This weekend will be a tougher test, as I think that NY has a better defense than Washington does. One game doth not a career make, no matter how exciting that one game was to watch. Vick needs to perform consistently for the remainder of the season before conclusions can be drawn. Some of the media claims for Vick as MVP and that the Eagles are now going to the Super Bowl are WAY over the top. Let's see what happens... this might have been a single game fluke. -Dan

Take the vocals from The Bangles, Bananarama, Go-Gos, The Corrs, or Wilson-Philips, and set them to modern hard rock/metal instrumentation, and you get this. Been listening the heck out of it for the past few weeks. Rather than give away who it is, here are two tracks to (1) get your opinion of, and (2) do you think the style is appropriate for HH? http://www.heavyharmonies.com/audio/fem1.mp3 http://www.heavyharmonies.com/audio/fem2.mp3 -Dan

Uhhh.... you're joking, right?

I think we all were outraged when the initial allegations came to light. The assumption (for the most part) at the time was that he would skate and get off free, like too many professional athletes do. However, he was convicted and did his time. You can argue that the sentence was too lenient, but that is not Vick's fault; that's either a problem with the laws in place, or the dealmakers on both sides. Given that professional sports has already set the precedent that convicted murderers are allowed back on the field, why shouldn't Vick be given the same opportunity? From all reports, he appears to have turned his life around off the field, and is making a conscious effort to make the best of the opportunity given him. Watch his interviews and press conferences now and compare them to ones he did in Atlanta. There's a level of contrition and humility there now that was not there before, and you don't see the swagger and braggadocio that WAS there before. Granted, all it takes is the next news report, Deadspin.com, National Enquirer, etc. to completely upset the apple cart, but indications are he's made progress. -Dan

As a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, last night was darned near orgasmic. The 55-gallon drum of whoop-ass that the Eagles unleashed on the Deadskins on national TV was truly epic. While Vick was a scrambler with Atlanta, the coaching he has received at Philadelphia has transformed him into one dangerous all-around quarterback. Yes, it's only 1 game, and this coming weekend against the Giants will be a tougher test, but that first quarter last night showed him commanding the field better than just about any quarterback I've ever seen... in all aspects of the game. It was amazing. The 59-28 win set all sorts of records: The 88-yard TD opening play for the Eagles was the longest in team history. The 45 points in the first half was the most in Eagles history and broke the NFL all-time record for a road team. The 592 yards of total offense by the Eagles was the highest in team history. Vick became the first player in NFL history to pass for over 300 yards, run for over 50, throw for 4 TDs and run for 2 TDs in a single game. The 28 points the Eagles scored in the first quarter was the highest by a road team in NFL history (not just MNF history). The 59 Eagles' points was the highest in MNF history. It also led to one of the most amazing on-air rants ever to grace the airwaves, from a Washington DJ. It's almost 13 minutes long, but well worth the listen: http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2010/11/16/1818408/dc-sportstalk-host-goes-on-one-of-the-most-epic-rants-you-will-ever?ref=yahoo There are some mighty pissed off fans in Washington... -Dan

Both the trailer AND the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P4hJQBCp5s

Watching this now. The sound quality is excellent, but I'm not a fan of the camera work - too many fast cutaways; they never stay on any view for any length of time, makes it feel choppy. I wish I had waited for the European release rather than jumping on the Japanese release (I mistakenly believed the 5-disc box was ONLY coming out in Japan), so I cost myself about $100. Ouch. According to numbnuts, err, cdinzane, the Euro version of the 5-disc box is coming out at the end of November for $43. The extras in the Japanese 5-disc box are a sticker, a piece of the original backdrop from the show, and a Fair Warning silver dog tag on a chain. -Dan

Actually, if you read all the comments, there's parties on each side claiming the other side is full of it. Regardless, either: 1. The team is being banned from the playoffs for being too good, in which case it's en example of how FUCKED we are, or 2. The parents/officials of the team decided to stack the deck, in which case they are miserable excuses for parents for the type of example they're setting, and an example of how FUCKED we are. Either way you slice it, theare are some fucked up people involved. It's kids sports, for Pete's sake!

I like both tracks, but prefer the second. Fifth Angel never used keys like that and were heavier. The lead vocalist's voice sounds familiar, but I can't put a finger on it... -Dan

Yes he left a neg saying he never received it. I called eBay and spoke with them at length, but there's nothing they will do. They say he has the right to leave a negative opinion, because that's all feedback is - opinion. The eBay rep also said that since the buyer is a longstanding member and has a lot of feedback, it's not like a new member "trying to disrupt the community" so they're leaving the feedback intact. Since the extortion attempt occurred outside of eBay, there's nothing they can do about it. I'm so glad that I can only leave positive feedback, since all buyers are angels and only sellers are evil.

userID 707star, real name Brad Greinke. This douchebag bought a CD from me on September 3. Delivery confirmation shows that it was delivered to his P.O. Box on September 10 and a notice was left. The first I everr hear from him is on October 25, when he sends a terse message through eBay asking where his CD is at. I reply with an explanation and a link to the tracking information. No reply. October 28 he sends another message like the first one, asking where his CD is. Again, I reply with the tracking information and a longer explanation. No reply. I call eBay, as it looks like he's not getting or ignoring his eBay messages. eBay confirms that the messages are reaching his Inbox, but they are not showing as read, which simply means that like most people, he's just reading the emails sent from eBay with the messages, not actually going to eBay and reading them. If the email address tied to the eBay account is defunct or has a full inbox or there are spam filter issues, he's not getting the messages. Since all buyer and seller email addresses are now obfuscated (you can't see people's real email addresses on eBay anymore; everything is aliased), eBay suggests going to PayPal and getting his real email address from the PayPal transaction page, and contacting him that way. Good idea actually, and I should have thought of it. So I send the information to that email address. No reply. Tonight he gives me a negative and then sends me an email outside of eBay saying that if I send him another CD he'll reverse the neg. He never filed a dispute with PayPal or eBay because he knew that I had proof of delivery, so instead he just negs me and tries to extort more merchandise. Cocksucker. Block this putz. -Dan

That would have been way cool to be there for (even though I am a lifelong Phillies fan). Would be neat if they arrange to have him actually sing if the series makes it back to SF. -Dan

Triumph is one of Canada's greatest Hard Rock bands. With 10 classic albums released between 1976 and 1987, they have left an indelible mark on the history of Hard Rock, Melodic Rock and are nowadays considered among the forefathers of Progressive Metal. Epitomizing the essence of the Power trio sound: Rik Emmett (guitar and vocals), Mike Levine (bass and keyboards) and Gil Moore (drums and vocals) are regarded as virtuoso musicians in their own right and great entertainers thanks to the Triumph concert spectacle that was second to none. Frontiers Records is therefore proud to announce that the official reissues of Triumph’s 10 classic albums, in digipak version and with the original tracklistings, will be released on December 3rd.
