Yeah I felt bad for Aaron, poor guy. I think it actually helps the blue team now that he's not there, they definitely went above and beyond to take care of him and carry him along as much as possible. I was kinda hoping Chef Ramsey would see the garbage incident, man that would've been a lot of bleeps for sure... I'm thinking Rock and the short order cook on the Red Team are looking pretty good longevity-wise, any picks on your end? I agree; the short order cook, Julia, and Rock would be my picks...I'd pull for the little redhead if she didn't come across so damn snooty at times.

LMAO ....she's DAMN lucky that Chef Ramsey didn't see her when she was in the act of pulling that spaghetti from the garbage bin, or her ass would have been gone. And poor ol' Aaron finally crashed out on 'em....he litterally couldn't take the heat in the kitchen!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070612/ap_en_...pIcQ6tWWQ8E1vAI Big moment for Journey at 'Sopranos' end The songwriters of Journey's power ballad "Don't Stop Believin'" were "jumping up and down" when they learned a few weeks ago it had been licensed for use in the final episode of "The Sopranos." But even they couldn't believe how it would prove so integral to one of the most memorable final scenes in television history. "It was better than anything I would have ever hoped for," said Jonathan Cain, Journey keyboard player, who watched at home with his wife and family. Tony Soprano chose the song after flipping through a jukebox at a New Jersey restaurant where he dined with his family. The song played in the background as ominous characters flitted about and, right as Steve Perry was singing "don't stop," the HBO series did exactly that, for good. The ending infuriated some fans, amused others and intrigued all. Cain, who wrote the song with Perry and Neal Schon, didn't know how it would be used when they agreed to the licensing. Cain kept the fact that it was going to be in at all a secret, then watched the episode with his family. "I didn't want to blow it," he told The Associated Press on Monday. "Even my wife didn't know. She looked at me and said, `You knew that and you didn't tell me?'" Journey released the song in 1981, and it reached No. 9 on the singles chart. It has taken a life of its own since then, often reflecting the attitude people had toward Journey itself. "Don't Stop Believin'" brings back fond memories for many, is unbearably cheesy for others. It's easy to imagine Tony Soprano, back in the day, taking a young Carmella to a Journey concert. David Chase, creator of "The Sopranos," has an eclectic musical taste. He's curated two songtrack albums for his series, and made music a key part of the stories, particularly as the ending credits rolled. It's possible "Don't Stop Believin'" was part of the elaborate inside joke he made of the final episode. It's also possible he found the end of the last verse too hard to resist: "Some will win, some will lose," Perry sings. "Some were born to sing the blues. Oh, the movie never ends. It goes on and on and on and on ... " "Don't Stop Believin'" has been featured in a several television and movie scenes. It crept onto an iTunes top-10 list when, during the same week, it was on Fox's "Family Guy" and in a romantic scene on MTV's "Laguna Beach." Sports teams have adopted it, too. After the Chicago White Sox used it in 2005, Perry sang it at the parade to celebrate the team's World Series victory. Cain, who has a 13-year-old and twins aged 11, said the songwriters are careful about how they license the song, and have resisted several advertising campaigns. They debated its use in the film "Monster" with Charlize Theron but, in the end, "she's too cute to say no to," he said. He was a little nervous Sunday when, as he watched with his children, the mob boss Phil was shot and viewers heard his head crunched as it was run over by an SUV. But he loved the final scene. "It was very smart writing," he said. "I always love movies where you don't see the guy whacked. You wonder whether he's going to get whacked." It could help Journey's visibility, too, as it did for singer Nick Lowe when his song "The Beast in Me" was used over the closing credits for "The Sopranos" very first episode. There had been some speculation that Chase would return to it for the finale. "A lot more people knew Johnny Cash's version (of `The Beast in Me') and this put Nick's version on the map," said Jake Guralnick, Lowe's American manager. "Nick's version is a lot more vulnerable." Cain said it indicated that a wish he and Perry had — that their songs would have a long life — was coming true. "It puts our feet in the cement," he said. "We're a staple in the American music culture. Like us or not, we're here to stay."

CBS reverses decision to ax 'Jericho' LOS ANGELES - "Jericho" fans who slammed CBS with protests over the drama's cancellation have won the battle: It will return next season, the network said Wednesday. It was an unusual display of viewer might since networks usually put ratings ahead of even the most passionate, well-organized fan base. But CBS said the show deserved another chance, while cautioning that it must prove it has wider appeal. "Wow! Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series," CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said in a letter to "Jericho" boosters. The letter was released to The Associated Press. "You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard," Tassler wrote, and seven episodes have been ordered for midseason 2007-08. "In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more `Jericho,' we will need more viewers." Fans must do their part to rally interest while the network does its job, she said. CBS is planning a campaign to reintroduce "Jericho," including rerunning the show on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips online and releasing the first season on DVD on Sept. 25. The show's return date and scheduling has yet to be determined. CBS had to complete deals with cast members, including star Skeet Ulrich, before announcing its decision. Networks rarely reverse a show's axing but CBS has proven its flexibility at least once before. In 1983, after "Cagney & Lacey" was canceled and the network was bombarded with protests, the police drama was brought back in 1984 — and ran successfully to 1988. Since "Jericho" was canceled last month the network has been deluged with calls, messages and shipments of nuts signifying viewer displeasure. "We are tired of the networks (not just CBS) tossing aside quality programming," was the message carried by jericholives.com, one of several web sites protesting the cancellation. "Enough! We're going to fight for this one." Clarke Ingram, a "Jericho" fan from Pittsburgh, Pa., and a spokesman for jericholives, said Tuesday that the drama about a Kansas town isolated by a nuclear terrorist attack deserved renewal for its daring premise, writing and acting. "People would paint this as teenagers in tinfoil hats" rallying behind the show, said Ingram, 50, an operations manager for two radio stations. "That's not what this is. These are educated professionals." Several factors worked in the show's favor: It appealed to the young adult viewers sought by advertisers and was one of CBS' most popular shows streamed online, indicating an audience beyond that measured by traditional ratings. CBS also likely took into consideration the dent a long hiatus put in the show's viewership, the same scheduling misstep that hurt ABC's "Lost" and NBC's "Heroes." Last fall, "Jericho" was averaging 10.5 million viewers; when it returned in the spring, it drew about 8.1 million, about a 23 percent decline from the first half of the season. The display of fan enthusiasm included the delivery of 50,000 pounds of peanuts to its New York offices. In the season finale, a character replies "Nuts!" to a demand that the beleaguered town of Jericho surrender. That's the same response that a U.S. general in World War II made to a German demand for surrender at the Battle of the Bulge. Another positive outcome of the fan campaign: CBS is donating the protest peanuts to charities, including one that sends care packages to troops overseas. --------------------------------------------------------- http://www.jericholives.com One of my top 2-3 favorite shows, and it's fought it's way back from cancellation (yep, I emailed CBS with my immense displeasure). VERY cool to see a network actually listening to its viewers for a change...

Stick with standard releases... I despise mini-LPs and digi-paks

I wish she were my crazy ex-girlfriend....

I saw that...wonder if he'll delete a Zero Feedback bidder from them?? I don't know.... if it is Arwine, he's ruining not only the auctions he's winning, but ruining the auctions for everyone else by driving the prices up on the one's he's not....

Anyone else think that new ebayer parbrrnin looks alot like our old pal Arwine? http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...mpleted=1&all=1 Whoever this is, is going crazy on Ryan's (screamercd) auctions ending today...

Got this disc in the mail today, and enjoyed the first spin immensely. Tons of Buckcherry influence! Anthems of Degeneration http://www.milliondollarreload.com/news.html http://www.myspace.com/milliondollarreload Check 'em out!

I had actually contacted the seller on this, and asked him if it was an original. The first time I contacted him, I got NO REPLY. So, I sent a second question; this time he replied with: It's a SEALED CD. This one has BOOTLEG / CD-R written all over it.... Mike

Right Here Waiting ~ Richard Marx

Back For the Attack Followed by Tooth & Nail, and Erase the Slate *Dysfunctional is a very underrated release; "Lesser of Two Evils" is one of my all-time fave Dokken songs, and "Too High To Fly" kicks some serious ass as well. Mike

I needs to get that one too.... I've heard "Pain" on the radio, and dig it; are there any other standout tracks?

Revisiting 1990....what an awesome year!

Looking like Ten's S/T release is the class of 96....

Hmm.....no clear favorite from 1995 ...need more votes!

Did anyone catch this past Wednesday's episode of Bones? The song "Keep on Trying" by Poco was VERY prominently featured in the episode, and the band's name was even mentioned...VERY cool!

...and 1994....went with Motley Corabi here...

I've been thinking the same thing...maybe there is someone on the board who has been feeding Lonnie info? Nope...Lonnie's been logging in as GlamStealer09 and reading everything for himself. He signed up from a different IP address for his new user ID, so it hasn't been blocked....not yet at least. Read here: http://heavyharmonies.ipbhost.com/index.ph...c=12120&st=786#

Looking back at 1991... not the best of years music wise, but a few solid releases....

I just checked my copy and it says Discovery on the inside of mine...so I think I'm good. Unfortunately, that isn't the litmus test for this cd...both my boots had that on it as well... Matt / Jarred, What particular things should we all be looking for as far as identifying these Hurricane boots? Is there any noticable difference in the CD itself between an original & the boot, or is it strictly down to inferior artwork? Mike

Right back atcha Rob; doesn't get any smoother. Mike
