  1. he was the right guy at the right time; talent & originality are secondary to capturing the moment. having said that, I'll let Chuck D speak for me: Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me
  2. umm...if that was directed at me, I said the Residents, not the Replacements
  3. I can't make this one, but hopefully some of you can: local legends The Gories have reunited for a one-off gig TOMORROW NIGHT at the Magic Stick. Tix are $15
  4. there's talk about turning KSR's Mars books into movies. I think Ridley Scott's name was mentioned...
  5. some of them are Kraftwerk Delerium Dissidenten MASSIVE ATTACK Mandalay Portishead Komputer Autechre Brian Eno Tangerine Dream Daft Punk Boards of Canada Deep Dish Koop Jeff Mills (his Metropolis soundtrack is incredible!!) the Residents ...lots of industrial bands, too!
  6. how 'bout it? just realized I can go to this, and I'd like to avoid TicketBastard pulling $$$ out my ass.
  7. I worked security at the 3 Jacksons shows here in '84. Got to see all 3 shows...fucking amazing performer live. Better than any description you may have read.
  8. commenting on your two examples... I don't see the point in scene-for-scene remakes, so the original Omen wins. near dark was awesome! the whole practical drudgery of vampire everyday life if you're not swimming in $$$ really caught me. I'm amazed no one's remade Soilent Green yet. how about: Executive Decision vs. Air Force One?
  9. whoa, that was weird. just saw the Weather Channel's local on the 8s, and the music they were using was the intro to Devo's "gut feeling".
  10. ^ too bad, dude - JA were incredible! on topic: I'm not going to watch a band that's stinking up the joint, whether opening or headlining. having said that, I've noticed that I'm showing up to see openers since I've started playing out again these past few years.
  11. it's just like All My Children; doesn't matter how long you haven't been watching - watch for 3 days and you'll be all caught up.
  12. wow - half a dozen nuclear bombs (and fission bombs at that) can burn all that? they're not going to nuke anyone. the. end.
  13. "No Line on the Horizon" - world's greatest band
  14. I've moved Mars into orbit around Venus, moved the pair out to earth's distance from the sun( but on the other side), and am beginning the terraforming process... I have that one a lot.
  15. y'all must just broil in that DJ booth when it's hot like this
