  1. I'm not getting anything but a generic MySpace page when I use that link; anyone else having a problem with it?
  2. Just thought it would be interesting to look up the new eBay ID Lon was using, woodmccorner, and see what he's been up to: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...id=170094147355 Sure as shit, he's NARU, and he cheated some guy outta $114 for Genuine Ford Parts, which he probably stole from the dealership he works at anyway...
  3. As I sat at my office yesterday listening to Dirty Penny my exact thought was "Damn, these guys could be the American version of CrashDiet!" . While CrashDiet leans a little more to the melodic side of sleaze, and Dirty Penny leans more to the raw, dirty side of things, the similarities are undeniably there. BTW...Dirty Penny ~ Take It Sleezy = Great f'n CD!
  4. You should be able to click the following path: My Controls------> Edit Profile Information: Favorite Band & Favorite CD sections should be at the bottom of this page "Should be" and "are" are 2 different things, my good man. I have the same problem Mr. Tequila is having--there's a place to add Favorite Band, but no place to add Favorite CD. I can only assume there is a conspiracy occuring 'round these parts against myself & Blue Tequila and that the moderators of Heavy Harmonies do not wish the rest of the members to know what our favorite CDs are for fear that our selections would be so crushingly brilliant that all others would pale in comparison. Or, uh, maybe there's just a glitch somewhere... Hmm...I'll have to defer to Dan aka Emperor of the Known Universe on this one then.... Mike

  6. MIDNIGHT RIDE HOT & HEAVY PUSH COMES TO SHOVE RUNNIN WILD SLEEZE DISEASE TAKE A BITE BLACK AND BLUE SCREAM AND SHOUT VENDETTA NO. 1 THRILLER ROCK SLEEZE DISEASE (ACOUSTIC) http://www.myspace.com/dirtypennysucks http://www.dirtypennysucks.com From MelodicRock.com regarding his work on a new solo CD, as well as producing the Dirty Penny release: JOHNNY LIMA BACK AT WORK ON NEW ALBUM: Popular melodic rocker Johnny Lima has been very quiet of late, but in response to questions regarding his activities Johnny posted the following update on the site Noticeboard: "I'd have to admit the last 4 years I've been "hibernating". The good news is, I'm fired up again and have been writing the best stuff I've ever come up with. Just finishing up some pre-production work and will begin recording my new album soon and it will be released independently this time. Check my MySpace page for any updates as my website is out of commission for now." WebLink: www.myspace.com/johnnylima As for Dirty Penny [the new band, whose album Johnny has produced], "The album is pure raw energy and I think that people who are yearning for a great honest dirty (no pun intended) rock album are going to really dig the Dirty Penny album. Give them a listen. It's amazing how a group that started out as a Poison cover band ends up opening for Poison in one of the biggest rock concerts of the year only two years later. Many are comparing them to when Motley Crue opened up at the US Festival back in '83. Expect big things from these guys as they're bringing back rock 'n roll the good old fashioned sleazy way. If they play their cards right, these guys will have loads of success, and it will be well deserved as this group is made up of 4 really great guys and they've worked their asses off in making a great rock album. 6 months in the making! This business is all about luck and these guys have Lady Luck on their side."
  7. Yep, I really like this one; need to break it out Monday at work. http://heavyharmonies.ipbhost.com/index.ph...&hl=koritni Also, if you like Koritini, you need to grab Green Dollar Colour too: http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glam...n+Dollar+Colour
  8. Not trying to hijack this thread, but just wondering if anyone also watches .. Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares: http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/154/index.jsp I'm sure the conditions in some of the featured restaurants is probably exaggerated to make Gordon look like a Superman, but it's still enjoyable to watch his interaction with the owners & staff. New season started on BBC America last night. or Top Chef: http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef//index.php Unlike Hell's Kitchen, these are all experienced Chefs trying to one up each other every week. It's brutal to watch some of the poor decisions these people make under pressure (like WTF was the one group thinking when they decided to do the pineapple dessert course? ) Plus, Sara and Lia are cuties.

  9. Jericho begins re-airing tonight at 9 pm on CBS, beginning with the "Pilot"... http://www.cbs.com/primetime/jericho/
  10. American Angel - Vanity arrived in today's mail...finally. Time to find out if it was worth the wait...
  11. I thought cdjnky4lf got the axe? The fucker is back and going crazy again...
  12. Just got this from the fine folks at Chavis: "The CD is being shipped from Sony as of today 6/21. While I understand your issue, I can only go buy what we're told from the manufacturer. There were a few problems with the layout which caused it to be delayed. I can refund your money ASAP if you would like. Or your CD will ship once it arrives. Please let me know. Thank you" Ok, that's all well and fine, but why not send out a press release letting your customers know of the problems, instead of leaving everyone in the dark? You know, one of those press releases that I get at THREE different email addresses that I NEVER even signed up for!
  13. Ok, back on May 8th, I ordered Sonic X - Thirteen and American Angel - Vanity directly from the Chavis Records site. About 2 weeks later, I got the Sonic X, but as of today, I still have not received the American Angel. Back on June 2nd, I enquired as to when I could expect AA (since it wasn't included in my initial shipment), and got this from the Chavis Sales staff: AA should arrive from Sony in a week. It will ship to you automatically. It was delayed at the manufacturer. My apologies. Well, no f'n CD yet... anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone out there have this CD in their hands yet? Mike
  14. 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.
  15. 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!
  16. 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."
  17. 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...
