Fleetwood Mac is set to release their first album from the Buckingham-Nicks version of the band in over 15 years Spring of 2003. I for one cannot wait. Everyone is on board except for Christine McVie, but as long as Lindsey Buckingham is a part of it should be quite an album. I picked up The...

The Blockbuster in my town recently raised their rental fee for DVD's (and new release VHF tapes) to $4.29. And there is little to stop them from raising it higher. Here in Raleigh NC there is little to no competition for DVD rentals. I am sitting here trying to think of another place to rent...

This past week has been a great week for new album releases...to me the best week I can remember in a while...new albums from Peter Gabriel, Jackson Browne, Beck, Ryan Adams, Steve Earle, Rhett Miller (of Old 97's)...that is almost too much for one week. Too much for the wallet anyway..although...

Jen...Love...Leno...Jennif...Hew...Leno...Love...J ennifer Love...On Leno...tonight...hubba...hubba... I likes me some JLH!

Rhett Miller, front man of pop/rock band Old 97's, is releasing his debut solo album Tuesday, Sept. 24. I found an advanced copy at a local used CD store earlier this week...and this is a darn good little pop/rock album. Filled with catchy little ditties from beginning to end, most of these...

You know...the kind of tune that sticks in your head and you just can't shake it and you never seem to get tired of hearing? I know many would say a Beatles tune, or maybe a Beach Boys number, or maybe even a Rolling Stones classic ditty. For me it comes from a little obscure band from...

I was just thinking as I scanned by the TV section of the HTF that now that The X Files have gone off the air I don't watch any TV shows from week to week anymore...not one. Granted I am more of a sports nut and watch baseball, basketball, etc. on a nightly basis. But not one TV series do I...

Something that I enjoy doing from time to time is writing reviews of albums on Amazon.com. And also reading others reviews of albums I enjoy. I nice little feature that Amazon has going. Except for the fact that they sometimes have a tendency to edit your reviews. I would be interested in...

The Waxwings released one of my favorite albums in a number of years back in 2000...entitled "Low To The Ground". Just a great retro-sounding album chock full of great tunes, with perhaps the best opening and closing tunes I have ever heard on any album. This was the bands debut album and what a...

I have been somewhat familiar with Lisa Germano for a while now (didn't she used to play in John Mellencamp's band?) but have never bought any of her albums. I recently saw the DirecTV Free Preview showing of Neil Finn & Friends (ch 103) and am now completely taken with this woman! Nevermind...

Was just wondering about the quality of this disc...and the sound quality of DVD-A discs in general as well. Are they worth picking up? Or are they more of a "gimmick" as far as sound quality goes. Thanks.

Just curious if anyone could describe it...in words...to any degree. Perhaps it is a difficult thing to put into words...describing how it makes one feel. Anyone want to give it a shot?

Well...it's official. After seeing Attack Of The Clones I am now 100 percent sure that Natalie Portman is THE most beautiful woman on the planet...uh...Earth...not Naboo! And I think she should have her very own Appreciation Thread here on the HTF. I am talking simply physical beauty here...

I have recently become aware of Brendan Benson, having read a review of his new CD in my local newspaper. That review prompted me to pick up a copy of "Lapalco", and boy am I glad I did! This stuff is right up my alley. He has a similar sound to Jason Falkner, I suppose because Falkner's...

Local Used CD/DVD store had 2 copies for sale at $59.99. I had a "Buy 3 DVD's Get One Free" coupon so they gave me $15 off the STNG Set. $48 for 7 discs...not a bad price at all! And I can probably pick up every season the same way. Oh, I also picked up The X Files Season 3 set for $60...

All those that posted in that thread a while back may be interested in the Fox TV special tonight (Thursday) at 9 PM ET intitled "Corruption of the American Child" hosted by Bill O'Reilly. It appears as though it will touch on much of what was discussed in that thread. And I think this line of...

I know I am. Won't be long now, baby. And Baseball Tonight debuts on ESPN tonight (Sunday) at midnight! Yeah, baby, yeah!! I hope my Fantasy teams do well this year. Anyone else into Fantasy Baseball? Gotta love DIRECTV Extra Innings Baseball package! Baseball every night! PLAY BALL!!

I know there are some obvious choices here...The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc. But here are a few that I think rank right up there among the best debut albums in rock music history: The Cars (1978)...Man, what a way to come out of the gate! With a sound all there own, catchy pop tunes, quirky...

You know...Pick Withers...drummer for Dire Straits on their first two albums..."Dire Straits" and "Communique"? I have always enjoyed those two albums very much and still listen to them regularly today. And I always find myself tuned into the drumming of Pick Withers (as well as Knopfler's...

Just curious if anyone knows of a music only forum similar to the good ole HTF? Just looking for a little more music forum action.

Believe it or not I picked this CD up at Best Buy. I couldn't believe they had it. But I have noticed that BB is carrying a few more obscure titles lately. Although SUGARBOMB is on a major label (RCA) for this their second album, they still have that very "indie" band sound about them. Power...

May I suggest David Mead's "Mine and Yours". Terrific album. Amazon.com describes its sound as "deceptively breezy pop". That is a pretty fair description. I will go further and say that many of the songs on this album feature some of the sweetest vocals and melodies you will hear on any...

I have heard rumors that outstanding pop/rock band Fountains of Wayne are no longer together. And I have noticed Adam Schlesinger has been producing alot of other artists albums lately, which further leads me to believe it may be true. But I have read no real confirmation. Does anyone here...

What is going on across the pond these days? So many good bands coming out of Britain these days, many with a somewhat similar sound...mellow, melodic, often soothing, beautiful harmonies, etc. I guess it started with Radiohead, then came Travis, Coldplay, and now very good bands like Turin...

Pat Summerall has broadcast his last game. One of the best broadcasters of the last 20 years. He will be missed. The only sad part about this Super Bowl...unless you were pulling for the Rams of course.;) Thanks for all the great calls over the years Mr. Summerall.

...Was pretty darn spectacular. The names of the victims of 9/11 on the flexi-screen was a nice touch. The crowd was definitely into it. The best halftime show/performance I have seen in a long time. Nicely done. I think maybe that performance will give U2 albums a bit of a boost!

Crime Story aired back in 1986-88, with Dennis Farina as the lead character. IMO it was one of the best TV series of the 80's. Of course, I like pretty much anything Michael Mann does. The series was cancelled before it could wrap things up. That has always nagged at me. The '88 season (series)...

In my never ending search back in to the history of rock music I have just now read of the tragic story of a forgotten band - Badfinger. Badfinger came along in the late 60's, greatly influenced by the Beatles. What band wasn't back then. But The Beatles were more than just instrumental in...

I still watch and enjoy the X Files nearly every week. I know many here have stopped watching the show, and sure it isn't quite what it once was; But it is still one of the better TV shows going these days, and one of the few I try to watch every week. My question is, and I haven't heard...

Not sure how many are even familiar with "sniglets". I believe comedian Rich Hall originally came up with this idea of coming up with a word or two to describe interesting little every day occurrences and the like. I can't remember some of the better ones he has come up with over the years...
