  1. The cymbals were interesting. Benoit with yes does an admirable job at least in their house of blues current tour. Oliver Wakeman just doesn't have the same presence as Rick but all in all I felt that they were still worth listening to.
  2. Just saw it again on the dvr. Wife and I both agree it was embarassing for them. I tried not to comment since the who was never a top favorite of mine, but after seeing Yes on Tuesday I know which act I would want to see again. You'll never see Yes at the super bowl because they never had the lowest common denominator appeal as the who.
  3. Only a weirdo would buy sealed copies and not enjoy. Garymd you have the right idea of what it's all about.
  4. Corners would be best, choking off a passive is like choking off a port, which is not advised. Get them anyway especially if you will be moving in the next few years. They are definitely an upgrade from heresies.
  5. No doubt oldenough, New World is a giant classic symphonic favorite.
  6. Haven't seen Burn Notice. Lot's of choices out there these days i guess. I'm busy with south park, and several adult swim cartoons plus hockey. When is it on?
  7. It's very entertaining but the figures might also suggest more people have access to network tv than HBO. I watched sopranos by renting the dvd's. My comments were based on my personal critique not raw numbers. 24 is one of the few non-sports things I watch on tv.
  8. We've watched it from the start. Easy to pick holes in but still lots of fun. Better than most network tv. Not Sopranos good but like I said, very enjoyable.
  9. Try his email. Maybe he was shipped out?
  10. There's always a bright side.
  11. The problem is finding certain products made here now. Like clothing. Check your labels. Maybe this is tmi, but there is underwear in our house made in the usa from way back that still works with elastic that still stretches! We have thrown out newer purchases which have already lost its functionality. Union made in the usa quality versus what I have coined as a generic term "crap from the orient" (not to single out just one other region of the world for the purposes of this discussion.
  12. Personally I think Sam was an honorable man. What has happened after his death is not what he would have wanted, IMO, but who knows?
  13. Very true Chris. Some lawyer tasks are already being outsourced to places like India. Germany has kept a fairly strong manufacturing base, and we pay dearly for German products. Strong unions are a part of that equation, which seems counter intuitive since the unions here get so much blame. Their laws are more labor friendly than ours. US corporations are driving labor down to the level of subsistence while reaping giant bonuses for management. Shareholders don't fare as well either. Germany though has had much higher unemployment (which we now have matched) for years. There needs to be a balance and right now the US is out of balance. I was considered an outlier when in business school I stated that despite the shift to a service economy, we still will need to make things if we are to remain competitive. Not in our lifetime, but ultimately, labor will need to be just as globally organized as corporations are. As standards of living raise from jobs bouncing across the globe, this will become possible.
  14. Tractrix was introduced with the "II"s. The originals and II's had/have a smoother sonic signature than the cone bass heritage line, to my ears anyway, and the all horn loaded heritage models are a different animal all together. You're right it doesn't matter what they are called, I wouldn't turn my nose up at any of the models in these lines.
  15. "just about every big name is the scratch dj world swears by the M447." What more do you need to know?
  16. I believe this thread has reached it's point of maximum usefulness.
  17. "THe Succubus" is a great episode. In order to expose the beast, the kids have to learn how to sing "There Has to be a Morning After" backwards....quite interesting to hear.
  18. Would a netbook be better if you can avoid all those new charges? I think she has been impressed by the apps people have with these but I'm not sure at this point what she really wants, nor sure that she knows either.
  19. Please tell me what it does have. My wife thinks she wants one.
  20. Ummm. He does have a quarterback clinic and maybe the best in the country. Where do you think all those great college quarterbacks go like Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy? Peyton just doesn't play the game he teaches it. But there are alot of excellent quarterbacks who play and have played football. I wish the raiders would send JaMarcus Russell to that clinic.
  21. Whole Lotta Love---Led Zepellin White Rabbit---Jefferson Airplane Wish You Were Here---Pink Floyd Close To The Edge---Yes Psycho Killer---Talking Heads (impossible task, and that's just for rock)
