LYC: So.....Creed and Stained are on the road together for a tour? The Irrelevant and Redundant Tour 2009 - Epiphany Sep 16, 13:55 3
- I wonder if Staind's singer is embarrassed now by his corny, tortured misfit lyrics. nm - Dignan Sep 16, 14:01
- Creed's summer tour was one of the biggest disappointments (gross wise) this year -- nm - MDH Sep 16, 14:00
- The same kids who still go to Warped Tour. Emos and alts. -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 16, 13:57

So, last night I am pretty sure I watched the episode of Dollhouse when it morphed from really good to effing awesome. - TFox Sep 16, 13:43 17
- The unaired episode is a mindf*ck and a half -- nm - Mr. Havens Sep 16, 13:51 5
  - Best episode of anything Whedon has ever done. -- nm - nubby Sep 16, 13:56
  - Is that online somewhere? I don't think I've seen it -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 13:53 3
    - It's on the Season One DVD -- nm - Mr. Havens Sep 16, 13:53 2
      - Hmm. I may have to get this from Netflix -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 13:55 1
        
        It's the only episode on Disc 4, if that helps. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 13:56
- Yep, that's the one. -- nm - Ender Sep 16, 13:45 2
  - (Though you'll get argument from some about it being "really good" before that.) -- nm - Ender Sep 16, 13:45 1
    - It was, or I wouldn't have gotten this far. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 13:50
- Having given up on that show 2 eps in, your IM makes me wonder if you are joking... -- nm - con_carne Sep 16, 13:44 7
  - Patton is awesome. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 13:49 6
    - I tried to get through his recent stand-up on Comedy Central. Turned it off after about 20 minutes. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 16, 13:52 1
      - Yeah, the disc kelly has of his Paris Hilton riff had me expecting a lot better than I got here. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 14:00
    - Have you seen The Comedians of Comedy? - con_carne Sep 16, 13:50 3
      - I almost had a car accident listening to his latest one. -- nm - Reagen Sep 16, 13:58
      - Yep. Check out "Werewolves and Lollipops". You will shit laughter. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 13:52 1
        
        Looks like the whole CD is available on Grooveshark. Sweet! -- nm - con_carne Sep 16, 14:00
Calgary Film Festival recommendations - Cloudy with a Chance of Dano Sep 16, 13:39 1
- I laughed when I saw the plot for Midgets vs Mascots. It sound like something Dignan would come up with. -- nm - Reagen Sep 16, 13:59
20 Evil Bad Girls on Tv... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 16, 13:39

If the Dow keeps this up, we can put our Dow 10,000 hats on by the end of the week -- (link) - znufrii Sep 16, 13:35 6
- Gains more than easily wiped out by the fall in value of the dollar today. -- nm - Loyola Sep 16, 13:46 1
  - Quiet. The Dow is a meaningless measuring stick of how the economy is doing. Rationalizing it has no place here. -- nm - BB Sep 16, 13:49
- *confused* But I thought no one would invest because the guy born in Kenya was going to take over the economy. - BB Sep 16, 13:38 3
  - all it will take is a 6-8% drop for this one to make a comeback -- nm - stewie Sep 16, 13:55

~Sometimes is all the time. And never means maybe~ - Epiphany Sep 16, 13:33
LYC: I got my Beatles remasters yesterday. LOVE LOVE LOVE -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:31 20
- *whimper* -- nm - nubby Sep 16, 13:39
- What does remastered mean? Was the sound cleaned up? -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 16, 13:37 11
  - It's a reissue, which is more than a remaster and in effect a remix. - con_carne Sep 16, 13:40 2
    - They give 'em the ole George Lucas treatment! -- nm - TWuG Sep 16, 13:57 1
      - except, these are actually better. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:58
  - Cleaned up, relative levels of instruments in the mix restored to more natural levels, reflective of the original intent of the recording, etc. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 13:39 1
    - and by the original producer! -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:42
  - Have you been under a rock lately? -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 13:38 1
    - I know it exists and there was a big hubbub about it, but I didn't learn what it was all about -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 16, 13:39
  - yeah. Total remaster of the catalog. 1st time the entire catalog has been done since 1987. -- nm - Remlik Sep 16, 13:38 3
    - all I know is I have NEVER heard it sound like this. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:40
    - Was it still analog in 1987? I love the Across the Universe versions. -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 16, 13:40 1
      - yes, that was a slob job compared to this. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:41
- All you need is love. -- nm - BB Sep 16, 13:34 6
  - Can't buy me love. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:36 5
    - You rent? -- nm - BB Sep 16, 13:45 4
      - technically I rent it out. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:46 3
        
        So, if I buy you a dress will you pretend to be my girlfriend for 30 days? -- nm - BB Sep 16, 13:50 2
        
        I have to see the dress. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:51 1
        
        L3! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 16, 13:53
If you're in Los Angeles, the AFI Fest (which I believe is going to be largely FREE to attend this year) has announced its first titles. -- (link) - Cloudy with a Chance of Dano Sep 16, 13:29 3
- Oh, f*ck. Harmony Korine was allowed to make another movie? - Mr. Havens Sep 16, 13:31 2
  - I liked it a lot. -- nm - Cloudy with a Chance of Dano Sep 16, 13:40 1
    - Here's the teaser trailer -- (link) - Cloudy with a Chance of Dano Sep 16, 13:46 [youtube]
Music poll: Would you pay to see "The Beatles" if it were Paul, Ringo, Julian Lennon and Dhani Harrison? - Mr. Havens Sep 16, 13:26 32
- definitely, not a huge huge amount, but, some. -- nm - Andie Sep 16, 13:55
- Duh. Yes. -- nm - Loyola Sep 16, 13:52
- I would pay *something*. How much I would pay is another matter. - Subversive Sep 16, 13:44
- yeah I would. I'd even want Sean Lennon in there to mix it up with Julian. -- nm - Remlik Sep 16, 13:37 3
  - burt I wouldn't call it the Beatles. Maybe A Night of Beatles Music. And get Zak Starkey as well. -- nm - Remlik Sep 16, 13:43 2
    - He's probably already booked. that kid gets a lot of work. - loosilu Sep 16, 13:44
    - "The New Beatles!" -- nm - con_carne Sep 16, 13:44
- No, but I'm not sure I'd pay to see the original Beatles either, were they all alive -- nm - con_carne Sep 16, 13:32
- No -- nm - Epiphany Sep 16, 13:31
- Probably not. - kelly Sep 16, 13:31 8
  - DHani looks a lot like him so you can pretend. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:31 7
    - in bed. -- nm - lileve Sep 16, 13:32
    - Does he sound just like him? - kelly Sep 16, 13:32 5
      - he and Jeff Lynne finished his Dad's last cd. Which was really good. -- nm - Remlik Sep 16, 13:37 1
        
        and on the video I linked below I swear I'm looking at 1965 George. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:41
      - he does, actually. and he plays guitar the same way. it's kind of creepy. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:36 1
        
        here's a video from the 2004 Harrison tribute. -- (link) - loosilu Sep 16, 13:38
      - Julian looks and sounds like John, and Dhani eerily looks and sounds like George -- nm - Mr. Havens Sep 16, 13:32
- Absolutely yes, since I'd pay to see McCartney alone. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:30 3
  - ... in bed. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 16, 13:31 1
    - with the money he's worth, hell yes. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:32
  - (which is basically what I'd be doing) -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:30
- absolutely without a doubt. -- nm - Jovian Sep 16, 13:29
- Nope. -- nm - Stephen Sep 16, 13:29
- No, but only because it wouldn't be "The Beatles" -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 13:28 4
  - and I'd want the kids to have solo sets of their own stuff, rather than just Beatles rehashes -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 13:34 3
    - Julian can play his two songs and then back up Sean. -- nm - Remlik Sep 16, 13:39 2
      - ~But it's much too late for..goodbye~ -- nm - Epiphany Sep 16, 13:46
      - DOesn't McCartney's kid play in a band too? -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 13:45
- Depnds on how much, but probably as Ringo is my fav. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 13:27
- would i pay? sure. would i pay "Beatles money"? dick no. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 13:27
- I wouldn't pay to see them even if it was the original members. -- nm - decline Sep 16, 13:27

- iinm, This is the same transportation and housing funding bill where they passed then anti-Acorn-funding amendment. - znufrii Sep 16, 13:33
- So they're not allowed to vote on anything else until they vote on healthcare? -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 13:24 27
  - [deleted] 21
    - Healthcare reform is uncontroversial? -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 13:29 20
      - [deleted] 17
        
        well, technically, almost everything is uncontroversial to one person, Jack. It's the second person debating with you that starts the controversy. - TFox Sep 16, 13:34 16
        
        [deleted] 15
        
        It doesn't seem crazy to me at all. There are rules regarding the guns. There are no rules in Healthcare Fight Club. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 16, 13:38
        
        I think (?) everyone agrees that healthcare needs to be fixed. It's the how that is controversial. - TFox Sep 16, 13:38 13
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        No, but it sounds like you scored a first-class double-decker ticket to unicornland yourself. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 16, 13:41
        
        no i'm not. but just from reading ST alone it is pretty clear to me why it is so controversial. - TFox Sep 16, 13:41 10
        
        [deleted] 9
        
        Maybe. But I think I could count the number of STers whose healthcare ideas I mostly agree with on both hands if I had all my fingers amputated. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 13:45 8
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        *splurt* -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 13:51 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I know this is going to come off as mean, but... - TFox Sep 16, 13:47 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        and i guess the only difference in what we are saying is: - TFox Sep 16, 13:55 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        pre-existing condition, not covered by your provider. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 16, 13:46
      - It's no Kayne interrupting Taylor Swift! -- nm - Mr. Havens Sep 16, 13:30 1
        
        Ayble had much better manners. -- nm - TWuG Sep 16, 13:41
  - Yeah, I always hate that argument. -- nm - Cloudy with a Chance of Dano Sep 16, 13:27 1
    - [deleted]
  - On a much smaller scale, don't town councils typically tackle business one item at a time? - Beryllium Sep 16, 13:26 2
    - I'm not entirely certain what you mean. - Reagen Sep 16, 13:29 1
      - but for the most part, the progression of the meeting is 1. bring up item, 2. discuss, 3. decide, 4. repeat. Right? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 16, 13:30
Diggnation with Adam Savage -- (link) - Mop (232 lbs) Sep 16, 13:19

      - Upside down watch is a big tell. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 13:23
- *seethes* -- nm - Colbert Sep 16, 13:16
- I'm liking him in the 3-piece, the others don't do much for me... -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 13:15
Do it! Do it! Dooo it! -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 13:12 14

    - groiny = Alaskan. - Spawn Sep 16, 13:13 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        I didn't want to say anything... -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 13:16 3
        
        Is this a first? -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 13:16 2
