    Bye Creed! If they had sold 10 records, I'd still be happy to see them go. :)

    ****Sopranos Season 5 Season Guide (Spoilers)

    In the two weeks prior to watching last night's finale, I went back and watched most of seasons 1-4. After taking in this massive amount of data :), here are my thoughts on how this series is gonna end. Chase has set us up time and time again with red herrings (the "impending war" with the...

    Six Feet Under vs. Sopranos

    Seth Interesting theory. This means that HBO On Demand is basically Divx by another name. :)

    2004 Major League Baseball Season Discussion

    Lew Its all a matter of perspective, to be sure. But from my perspective, the Rangers don't have Soriano right now unless they agreed to pay that $67 million to Arod, and therefore, when considering the total cost to the organization to employ the services of Soriano, that $3 million...

    2004 Major League Baseball Season Discussion

    About Soriano and Arod... The one thing that should not be overlooked is that the Rangers agreed to pay $67 million of Arod's salary over the next six years. It breaks down like this: 2004 -- $3 million 2005 -- $6 million 2006 -- $6 million 2007 -- $7 million 2008 -- $8 million...

    CT members, avoiding I-95?

    You know, its threads like these that have to make one wonder: What is the Northeast's transportation system going to be like in 20 years? Interstate widening would be massively expensive, and there are many places I've driven in NY, NJ, MA, CT, etc. where that doesn't even seem to be a...

    ****Sopranos Season 5 Season Guide (Spoilers)

    Fantastic episode. By the way, as I sit here and think about my life, I realize it has a whole bunch of plot holes in it. Maybe I should hire a TV writer to fill in the gaps. :)

    Roy Disney supports Song of the South release - Eisner does not

    Guys, this notion that Eisner is holding back Song of the South because of some ideology is rather naive. This is a corporation we're dealing with. There is only one purpose for its existence: maximizing profit and returning shareholder value. Everything else is so much pap. If Disney...

    Tori Amos' "Welcome to Sunny Florida" DVD

    Oh yes indeed, I have been counting the days since this one was announced. I can't wait for Tuesday. I saw five shows on this tour (including the greatest concert experience of my life, at Riverside Church in NYC -- god, why didn't they film that show for the DVD??), and I can assure any Tori...

    I got my check from the CD lawsuit

    Ahh, it may only be $13.86, but knowing it came out of the RIAA's pockets made it the sweetest $13.86 I ever did receive. :)

    Music Villains

    Brian Madonna is a real interesting case because she is a simply brilliant businesswoman, and that allowed her to avoid a slide into irrelevancy for a long, long time. But I think her day is almost over, and she realizes that. Hence the kiss with Britney.

    Music Villains

    Neil It is true that each individual must decide for themselves what is art and what is not, but for me, its quite simple: Does the artist have something they wish to communicate or share with us, or not? Its usually not too hard for me to make those distinctions. And you know what else...

    Music Villains

    Stu I do not have a problem Motown, U2, The Beatles, etc. Why? Because while they were no doubt ambitious, they still had an artistic vision they wished to share with the world. Commerce did not come before art in those instances. I have no problem with ambition and the riches that...

    Music Villains

    All of those among the artists and the industry that put Commerce before Art. I understand that commerce must play a role in popular culture, but when its placed BEFORE art, that's when I must cry, 'VILLIAN!' and quickly walk away.

    Any hints that NORTHERN EXPOSURE will be making its way to DVD in 2003? (MERGED)

    The set is already listed as a pre-order on Universal's home video site for $39.99 -- http://homevideo.universalstudios.co...p?titleId=2441 Frankly, the only thing dissapointing me at this point is that it will be DVD-14. But you know what? I've been waiting for this day since August 19...

    how bad is an unpaid parking ticket?

    Best way to avoid parking tickets is to befriend a local cop. They can make tickets go away with one phone call. Believe me, I know. :)

    Looking for an alternative to iTUNES...

    I've found a lot of obscure and really cheap (My price per track average is way under 99 cents) used CD's in the Amazon.com z-shops. http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/sub...305836-8485711 Obviously, this doesn't offer the instant gratification that donwloading provides, but I think its a...

    Cheapest Place for TNG DVD's?

    Neil CD World in E. Hanover, NJ on Route 10 West is selling gem mint used copies of the sets for $59.95 I picked up season 6 last week to complete my set. I saw two copies of 7 for that same price, and they looked gem mint too.

    Metallica disgusts me

    Q: Lars, some feel that the tickets for Metallica's live show are simply too expensive. Would you care to comment on this? A: "They drove a dump truck full of money up to my house! I'm not made of stone! Wah-ah-ahhhhhhh!"* *Courtesy of The Simpsons. Oh, and at this point, I'd like to...

    Tori Amos - Tales of a Librarian

    Rumor Alert, as posted to The Dent, the best Tori fansite out there on December 18th The Little Blue World fanzine has recently learned that there are definite plans to release an official DVD compiling Tori's videos. They have very few details right now, but it looks like it will include all...

    Trista and Ryan's Wedding (The Bachelorette)

    Commericial TV is, by and large, dead as a creative artform. Utterly inert. They might as well just run commercials 24 hours a day and dispense with the "shows" which are just clearly in the way now.

    Friends of the opposite sex when in a relationship-The Rules

    Cameron I should have made my original post a bit clearer. The broader point I was trying to make was that in the conext of male-female friendships, its sex that's looming like a dark shadow over everything, and what ultimately leads to threads like this one. But in terms of...

    Friends of the opposite sex when in a relationship-The Rules

    Dang. You know, when I read threads like this, I just have to wonder how much orgasms are worth it. I mean, yes, unquestionably, they FEEL GREAT, but in exchange you have to put yourself in this world of neverending shit, pain, and most importantly, DISTRACTION from the rest of your life. --...

    NIN due out "soon."

    Tim Indeed sir, indeed. The performances of "Down in It" and "March of the Pigs" on the live tape half of Closure are just..phenomenal. I'm juiced by this news, and my curosity is piqued by Trent's remarks about Pro-Tools and touring. Here's to hoping NIN plays club dates again! :)

    Hollywood ruining film prints on purpose (those red dots you're seeing)

    Vickie Your quest is a noble one, and the efforts of people like Robert Anthony are noble as well, no question. I just want to flesh out what the purpose of my original post was a bit more. I just have my doubts about the abilities of we, a small and strange slice of the general public...
