Shane Falco, QB for the Sentinels. Nigel 'The Leg' Gruff: Hey Shane Falco! I lost a ton of money on that Sugar Bowl disaster of yours. What a bloody shambles that was. You could smell the stink all the way back in bloody Wales. Shane Falco: Nice meeting you.

Pabst is a german beer. They won an award in 1893. Thae also make Piels and Blatz. mmmmmm

Dysentery it is, then. How bad do you want the cramps to be? Gatorade delivery gives us a whole lot of possibilities. E.coli, Shigella, Yersinia. Oh, how about Vibrio (cholera)?

I'm a microbiologist...there you go.

Cool. I have a couple Les Paul Custom's that I plug straight into a Marshall JCM 800 2203. Nice, simple and loud. I use the full stack live, but break it down so I have a 1960B on either side of the stage. Used to have a bunch of pedals, but they tend to get in the way live (Crybaby, Rat, chorus: pain in the ass buying 9-volts or looking for the adaptors, not to mention the beer kept mucking'em up). I do use the Rat pedal in the studio, though.

What kind of set-up do you have?

Ramones "It's Alive" on vinyl. Greatest live album of all time. Got the day off from work, so it's PS2, TSW and arr-ay-em-oh-en-ee-ess, RAMONES.

Jack Black "jumped the shark" a long time ago. Maybe he's got a thing for gay fish?

It's worth a deuce.

No, it's not an album. It's a collection of Lester Bangs' columns for Cream. He was a music critic, and much more. His "reviews" strayed pretty far from just examining/reviewing the concerts or the records he was assigned to cover. More times than not the music was irrelevent or secondary. It's really entertaining stuff. No one writes from the hip like that anymore.

Sorry Pete, I just don't have the attention span for Jazz. My Dad is a huge Coltrane fan, though. You should check out Psychotic Reactions and Carborator Dung, a collection of Lester Bangs columns for Cream from the 70's. He was a huge Coltrane fan, even took up the sax and cut a record (the name of which escapes me right now). Some hilarious stuff in there.

I hear you on the Led Zep thing. The Ramones could write 12 songs in the same time some of those Zep'lin songs take. I hate Jazz.

I'm gonna add another one, 'cause no one reads my posts anyway... "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues It was Christmas eve in the drunktank An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang The Rare Old Mountain Dew And I turned my face away And dreamed about you

Don't try to change me, baby.

GM-Flash and the Furious Five’s early sides were heavier on the “partytime” angle, and only barely scratched the surface of how socially conscious the genre could be (I don’t consider them “gansta rap” anyway). You make a good point about Public Enemy, but I feel (just an opinion) that they stuck more to a politicized African-American empowerment/nationalism line, rather than beating you over the head with how it is to just survive in that environment. NWA speaks more to black urban alienation and doesn’t go anywhere near the politics PE does, or the feel-good-time Flash does. All three are excellent examples of how rich the rap musical genre could be/was, and how lame it has become.

It's your sense of rhythm that gives you away.

True, it's more like story-telling, or a poetry slam with a beat. Much of the rap/hip-hop stuff all sounds the same to me, but then again, so does the blues or jazz.

Way to jinx his perfect game.

To just get back on topic, a lot of the stuff pushed onto people as "gansta rap" is a result of marketing. It pretty much all sounds the same, because that is what sells...no shocker there, that's music. For the most part it's just chest-beating crap, written by guys who grew up in suburbia. The early gansta rap was pretty groundbreaking stuff because it spoke about how life was in some of the worst areas to live in america. That NWA-Straight out of Compton record is a brilliant, powerful piece of expression. You don't have to enjoy the music, but you have to appreciate the brutal honesty of it. There is no other record like it in this genre, all else pales in comparison, and just about everything else in the genre is crap/fantasy/cartoonish. As for the white supremacist "music," no one takes this stuff seriously, and the punk/hardcore movement goes out of it's way to distance itself from these idiots. This is KzooMike bigoty, and there are very, very few venues where this type of music is tolerated.

"My Old Man's a Fatso" by the Angry Samoans

Both "Stacey's Mom" and "1985" make we want to vomit. Mainstream radio is un-listenable. They're the same freaking song.

Never liked Dan, either. They should put John Stewart in there to really shake stuff up.

Maybe Belicheck would want his old job back....

I'm got to agree with Kgun5 and C22, too. Who wouldn't trade a loss this year with JPL learning the ropes in the hope of gaining a few extra wins NEXT year because he's had more playing time? There's not a person on this board (except for Pats trolls) that would root for a Bills loss. But let's try and look at the big picture/future. This win against St. Louis does nothing in the long run.

It's a pretty good night to go out in beantown, because a lot of the lame-o students are gone. The Rat in Kenmore square used to be pretty jammed on that night. They razed the whole block a fews years back. Now it's a crappy hotel. Maybe I'll sneak into the boiler room of the hotel and knock back a Busch mixed with Bulmers just for old times sake. I'm getting misty thinking about it. I really miss the Rat.
