Here's a link on this: NY Times As much as I don't like this guy Spitzer, who seems more interested in grabbing headlines than actual criminals and comes off as always looking for a settlement rather than legally arguing his cases (because they're usually rather flimsy), this one here...
Putting Sanz and Fallon in the same sketch is just asking for trouble. They started smirking very early on, then LL lost it, then Rachel Dratch couldn't hold it in. If you haven't see it, by all means, find a copy that someone will eventually upload to the internet (I'm sure it's on Usenet...
Someone over at the SPS BBS site posted this regarding the German Cartman spoke: Translation for German lines In Cartmans room: "Töten Sie die Juden!" - "Kill the Jews!" At the convention: "Es ist Zeit für Reich!" - "It's time for Reich (Third Reich/ Empire)!" "Wir müssen die...
Good points. Don't get me wrong, I still love the show. And I love the topical/pop culture stuff (especially on a political level). I was just saying that for next week, I hope they throw one out that's just plain silly, like "Cripple Fight" or "Raisins". To cleanse the palette, I guess. They've...
Neil, I BELIEVE, but I'm not totally sure, that the episode aired yesterday, "The Passion of the Jew," replaced "The Passion of the Easter Bunny." There still is an unnamed episode 802 that has yet to air, so it could be that one. But I'm thinking that they originally wanted to do a "Passion of...
I really only caught the last two thirds of the episode, but I agree with the majority sentiment here, which spells bad news for SP. Ususally at worst, people are split down the middle over an episode, and usually those episodes have something quirky and endearing about them. This one really...
Thanks for the responses. It's good to know that this is something at least technically feasible, and in the planning stages at Sirius, but of course is totally contingent on the bandwidth and the satellites. And of course, it ain't cheap to get one of those puppies up and running. As to...
Hi, this is my first post in Satellite Radio, and I'm still trying to gather some info, so I hope I'm not rehashing something you've already talked about. The recent growth of Sirius and XM shows that there is definitely a market for mobile satellite radio, just as there was for DirecTV and...
I agree, Larry. It's not just the age, but the technology of concert recordings from that time. You're just not going to get that "pop", especially from the vocals. I just picked it up, and I'm already impressed. On the positive side, there is a definite improvement in clarity, and of course the...
This is such a bummer. This was one of the reasons I upgraded my system! I don't know if I can totally believe that review as well, because I've listened to "Immigrant Song" from HTWWW on the Zeppelin DVD in DTS 5.1 and it sounded fine. I can't say that it was good enough for me to double-dip on...
What a revelation this SACD is! I picked it up today as it had a $3 coupon for Stones SACDs inside (which I promptly ripped out and used!). I really wasn't interested in the re-mixes, since I already heard the Neptunes re-mix and was pretty underwhelmed. But the best is saved for last. The...
I'm going. I'm guessing the stage set up will be pretty similar to recent Central Park shows, like Sting and Sheryl Crow. Probably a good but basic stage set up so that DMB's crew can rig the lighting and sound equipment they've been touring with. They might need some supplemental sound...
Orgazmo, now, yes! But you know what, right when USA Films was about to release the Orgazmo DVD last year, Universal bought them out. Now that we are less than three months away from a new street date, Universal's getting bought out! When will it end?!? As the articles explain, this deal is...
I picked up the 563 a few weeks ago at the Manhattan Best Buy as well. I tried it out for 10 days and was totally impressed with what it could do for $170. I never had any experience with SACD, so I didn't have anything to reference its SACD performance against. I popped in a few Stones SACD...
Better than that, Derek - DVDFile now reports that Run Ronnie Run is coming to DVD August 4! And I would guess that Warner would capitalize on that by putting out the third season of Mr. Show around the same time. Finally, I get to see this movie! Everybody talks about it as if they've...
Matt, thanks so much for your report, it was just what I was waiting to hear! I was prepared to go through the 3-day weekend and be ready to buy on Tuesday, but now that I know the weather is gonna be pretty crappy, and I'll be cooped up in the house for most of the time, I gotta find somebody...
Wayne -
On May 27th, there will be "DVD premieres" at a few large cities throughout the US. The one in NYC at the 34th St. Loews Theaters will be attended by none other than Mssrs Jones, Page and Plant! It is expected that there is a two-hour cut of the DVD that will be played, but no info...
I don't want to open any other cans of worms, but this newbie to the world of DVDA/SACD would like some input on this point. Yamaha and Denon have universal players that, according to their manufacturers, do not "down-convert" DSD to PCM, and they retail for $1000. Meanwhile, Pioneer is about to...
Viacom buys Comedy Central stake from AOL Viacom nows controls all of Comedy Central and is putting it under MTV Networks. It seems like the best thing for Comedy Central at this point, since Viacom has a strong strategy right now of synergizing its entertainment networks. I bring this up...
In a recent interview with ICE Magazine, engineer Kevin Shirley, who was involved with the restoration, remixing, and remastering of the audio for the Led Zeppelin DVD and live CD "How The West Was Won", mentions that the audio was sampled at high-def resolution and that "there's going to be a...

Thomas, back in the episode "Tom's Rhinoplasty", SP made fun of Contact. In the commentary for that episode, Trey and Matt explained further why they went to such lengths to make fun of it on the show. When the commentaries were removed from the DVDs for content, Matt confirmed that it was those...
All these references were priceless: - a show approaching it's 100th episode that starts to get lame (in case you don't know, last night was the 97th episode they've done) - how much, again, the movie CONTACT sucked (referring to the whole reason why the commentaries were taken out of the...
Pat - you're right! I forgot about Celebration Day! In fact, I've seen footage from that song somewhere on the net before. Of course, what songs actually make it remains to be seen. Who knows, there could be so many technical problems that they leave a song out, but I'm hoping they all make it...
Mother lode indeed!!!!:emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup:
DTS, BABY!!!!
For those of you who may be just be casual fans or don't know the whole story, let me tell you that Zeppelin fans have been waiting YEARS for this - it's just monumental. This has been rumored in one way...
Jeff, check out avsforum.com in their local HDTV form for (very indepth) answers to your questions. I don't really keep up with Denver news, but I can tell you that the over-the-air HDTV situation in Denver has been a headache for years there. Basically, it has a lot to do with a proposed tower...
Before we all turn into monday morning nuclear physicists here, I had just one more issue with the water detenation. Aside from the things they mentioned (the ships in the area, the ecosystem, the beaches), wouldn't detenating a nuclear bomb in the ocean cause a massive tidal wave, like a...
On a Led Zeppelin message board, someone posted that the box set is coming out May 27th (yes, a Tuesday), and that it is being released by Image. :eek: This is in league with what Plant said. If you want to read the discussion, it's here. Here are the details:
