Boy Howdy

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: ick. I was drunk-sick on a short flight once which has made me stay basically sober the night before a flight. Nothing worse than a flight attendant handing you a hefty bag "just in case it gets even worse"

g'nite sir! thanks for the music recommendations

Good night everyone.

I should try to sober up as well.

@mel: I think it was the 20 hour trek to Bangkok where I got sick after eating on the plane that did it.

PQ Crash

@PQ Crash: 12 hour flight to China I had a couple of pieces of fruit and some nuts - I completely understand. Plus there's nothing worse than the old guy behind you eating the smelliest tuna sandwich ever. Ugh! Also, my best guyfriend has this weird issue about eating in front of people. It took almost a year before he'd eat in front of me, which in retrospect is hysterical.

DougOLis

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @mel: No, I have this weird thing about flying...I love to fly, but the thought of eating on a flight creeps me out. Either it's a piece of chewing gum or something to drink, nothing more.

PQ Crash

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @mel: Explosions is one of the hardest working bands in the business. So amazing. (And that is not just because I used to know the drummer very well.) I really love that that keep putting out great albgum after great album.

TheStarterWife

DougOLis

PQ Crash

@PQ Crash: My flaw is I actually want to focus on that music, rather than just go to sleep. And I never want to sit next to you on a plane.

DougOLis

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @TheStarterWife: I believe it.

@DougOLis: it's like having the best gun in a fight but not bothering to use it very much.

@PQ Crash: Jimmy Eat World is a closet guilty pleasure from when I was in high school and wasn't quite to the level of knowing better. The rest of 'em: agreed.

Signal to Noise

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: Before My Chemical Romance was big at all I saw them open for a decent size local band, and the singer kicked the guitarist in the face. That was pretty cool; that's about the best thing I can say about them.
Fall Out Boy - agreed
JEW - Clarity was really good but beyond that, meh
Death Cab - I like Death Cab for the most part (except Plans)
Panic! hah, you've got to be kidding me. worst. band . ever. with. a. potentially. great. name.

DougOLis

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @mel: I'm just getting old I suppose.

When I'm trying to sleep, I listen to Massive Attack or Radiohead's OK Computer.

Long flight? Guns 'N Roses or Public Enemy...just to piss off the person next to me.

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: The problem with that arguement is that it fails the Billy Corrigan test, since he was from the rich suburbs as well.

We need whining in music. Not all music, but some.

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: Well, with the exception of Jimmy Eat World, and those are all bands striving to be top-40 teenybop sensations, for the most part. They need to put down the eyeliner.

I take back my self-labeled "mediocre" since our whiny definitions vary a bit.

mel

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: Ah, my mediocre music taste is shining through. I find most of those types of bands (except the pure whiny Dashboard Confessional-type crap) pretty decent listens when I'm sleepy or on a long flight. Mellow yet not good enough to be distracting.

mel

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> My Chemical Romance? Shit.
Fall-Out Boy? Shit.
Jimmy Eat World? Shit.
Death Cab for Cutie? I hope Lemmy Von Motorhead kicks the living hell out of you.
Panic! At the Disco? Meet the Hells! Angels.

Guys, you're from the suburbs...life's not all that bad. Now shut up.

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: Modest Mouse isn't really whiny anyway

DougOLis

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: I part ways with you there for the most part.

DougOLis

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @Signal to Noise: I agree with being disappointed in how much he was hidden. In the instances where he is able to shine through it's fucking awesome, but it doesn't happen often.

DougOLis

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @Signal to Noise: I saw them about a year ago, and I swear it was like I was 14 all over again, Dave Gahan is still so hot. They sounded as good as ever.

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @TheStarterWife: Uh, I have the entire DM catalog.

I should re-phrase the "no whining" part to exclude British bands.

Or, I should say that I despise The Shins, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire and all of the Garden State soundtrack bands. I've got enough problems, don't give me a folk song about how bad yours are. And cut your hair...hippies.

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: hah.

Being into Modest Mouse as a college-radio-station running record nerd, I was semi-thrilled to find out that Marr was now teaming with Isaac Brock. I must say that while the album is good, I thought he'd be more prominent.

Signal to Noise

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @TheStarterWife: I have a couple of DM albums, not enough to be considered a die-hard, but they're still personally enjoying.

Signal to Noise

mel

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @Signal to Noise: Johnny Marr is God.

It's inexcusable he's in Modest Mouse now. Modest Mouse started in Issaquah, WA. Nothing comes out of Issaquah except it's a rich suburb of Seattle that rests in front of the Cascade mountains.

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: Thanks for clarifying. I do enjoy some whine now and again though.. but I'll still give the new AM a listen, since the 1st album got some decent play on my ipod.

mel

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @Signal to Noise: Same, except I am a die-hard DM fan.

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: not a bad set of preferences. I'd say those are close to my own, but since I'm a die-hard Smiths fan, the "little to no whining" goes out the window.

Signal to Noise

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @DougOLis: I missed the Noisettes.

The bands that go on first always get screwed, since everyone is still trying to get into the venue.

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> Not sure if any D.C. spinners are reading this but Eastern Market is currently burning down. Terrible stuff.

ArkansasFred

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @mel: I'll let you know my preferences about music before I go further.

A) Little to no whining in your lyrics.
B) One power ballad or less on your album.
C) Either blatantly rip-off someone else or be creative.
D) Bonus points if you're British.
E) It's Oasis and I'll think it's great (even though my mind knows it's garbage).
F) You're not Phil Collins.

The Arctic Monkey's new album is not as good as their first, but it's a good listen.

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @TheStarterWife: did you see the Noisettes? I was really impressed when I saw them with TV on the Radio.

DougOLis

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @Signal to Noise: I'm so old I went to the first Lolapoloza, so I know what you mean.

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: Is it actually good or just seems good since there hasn't been a vast amount of great stuff out lately? I've heard mixed things...

mel

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @mel: yeah, that stuff pretty much made me swear off outdoor festivals for the rest of my life.

@PQ Crash: the reason they're still cranking is because they're that good live. Hopefully that hasn't changed.

@TheStarterWife: fair enough. I felt too old for outdoor festivals, and I wasn't even 21 at the time. Before Coachella, I'd suffered through an Ozzfest and a couple Warped Tours (mostly because I was either a good friend of someone with a ticket or dating someone who wanted to go.)

Signal to Noise

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: Ya.

Tilly and the Wall disappointed me live, since I liked their album.

TheStarterWife

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @DougOLis: You know, I've never been a fan, but the Artic Monkeys were really impressive.

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @mel: +1 for using the word 'priss.'

PQ Crash

DougOLis

mel

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @Signal to Noise: I've never seen them live. Their first album is one of my five desert island discs.

Whatever Happened to My Rock 'N Roll is my second favorite song...it's also how I've felt for the past five years.

May 13th can't get here fast enough.

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @DougOLis: I didn't watch Bjork, since I was watching Gogol instead, since they were one of the bands I wanted to see the most. (I'd seen Bjork years ago, and Gogol last December, and knew I wanted something more upbeat at the end of the night.)

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @Signal to Noise: I'm mostly too old for it now. (Or so I've said the lasyt three years.)

TheStarterWife

Signal to Noise

PQ Crash

DougOLis

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @mel: Yeah, I'm going to see BRMC on May 13th in Seattle. I can't wait, they're my favorite band that I've discovered in the past five years.

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @TheStarterWife: I went a couple years ago, when the Pixies headlined. Worth it, but I enjoyed their show at the Greek Theatre more later on.

Coachella doesn't suit me. I'm too pale to enjoy outdoor festivals much any more. I much prefer dank, dark, small clubs and medium-size theatres.

mel

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @PQ Crash: No worries.

We went to the first two days of Coachella, and I'm kinda underwhelmed this year. Who I knew was going to be good, were good, but I saw nothing "new" this year.

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @TheStarterWife & @metschick: best diet advice I ever got: eat half of what you normally would.

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @TheStarterWife: I've heard about the marketing for his new record...I haven't paid attention to it though.

The arena remains, they even had a nice ceremony last year to...I guess "posthumously" really is the word...retire the numbers of Ron Francis, Ulf Samuellson, and Kevin Dineen. They brought out not only Brass Bonanza, but all the old Whaler scoreboard animations. They must have been smuggled out of Pete Karmanos' hair at the Mason-Dixon.

Matt Sussman

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @TheStarterWife: (damn Pacific time zone...)

Trent is aiming high with his first concept album.

Take Pretty Hate Machine, some Orbital, some Aphex Twin, the book of Revelations, the B-movie Equilibrium, and George Tenet's new book, tie them in a bundle, and throw the bundle in a wood chipper.

Be absolutely gob-smacked at how he gets 16 listenable songs out of the process.

Oh, and there's a whole "I Love Bees"-style ARG, and rumors of a second album and a movie from the same material.

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> @metschick: SO listen to this diet.

My friend's doctor told him to eat 5 bites, BITES, for lunch, and then 5 bites for dinner. (5 btes= size of a snickers bar.)

Two months, and he's down 40 pounds.

The Legend of Vincent Tremblay (fka F. Bellows): int question = (2*b) || !(2*b)

I think this technically will fail in C++ since you didn't explicitly cast the boolean return value of the logical OR operator into an integer.

]]> <![CDATA[Think Twice Before Kicking Jimmy's Sorry Ass]]> In Hartford. Grew up in NYC with family here. So I was primarily a Rags fan, but who didn't like the Whale. First pro game was Nordiques @ Whalers in 92. Later saw Chris f*#(ing Osgood (Red Wings goalie) score a goal at the Hartford Civic Center.

So for any of you who thought they saw something rare today at Coors Field (unassisted triple play), take that.
