    Popcorn Advice

    Am I the only one who has a problem with the popcorn getting soggy when I add the butter? I pop the corn in a cast iron or stainless pot on the stove, and then add melted butter and salt, but the popcorn just melts into a soggy mess of butter soaked popcorn. I have tried the Reese brand of...

    Stand Up Comedy on Dvd - Recommendations please...

    why hasn't anyone mentioned Eddie Murphy's Raw and Delirious? These are two of the best stand-up shows I have seen, although one of them is funnier than the other and I cant remember which one. The bit he did about tv characters being gay gets me every time.

    I saw James Taylor in concert 12/07/02

    I saw the JT concert on December 7th, and it was great. This was the second JT concert for me, after the one from summer about 5 years ago. JT was on top of his game the whole night and the electric guitar player was excellent, he really added some kick to both old songs and new. Steamroller...

    Caffeine makes me tired

    ok, the ADD thing was kind of a joke, but caffeine has been known to calm people with ADD. Just as Ritalin and Adderall calm people with ADD, they work like speed with normal people. Your body does build up a tolerance to caffeine just like anything else. I find that I dont get wired from...

    Just picked up Phish The White Album

    I gotta say, it turned out better than I thought it would. Phish manages to cover the Beatles songs with respect while still injecting their own sound into them. Some of the tracks are just great, like Rocky Raccoon. I am a pretty hard core Beatles fan, so most of the time I don't live covers of...

    Big Head Todd and the Monsters Appreciation Thread

    Hey Evan, I hate to be that guy, but there is no degree of uniqueness. So when you said a very unique rock sound or whatever, you were wrong. It is either a unique sound or not. If it is unique, it is unlike any other sound. It can't be kind of unlike any other sound. Catch my drift? Ok, sorry I...

    Great Live Albums

    Ok, it looks like I am going to have to stir the waters a bit. To start with, Miles Davis In Person Friday Night at The Blackhawk is great, as is Live at Carnegie Hall. James Taylor's double live compilation album is great too. Eric Clapton has a double album called blues which has one...

    I saw Dave Brubeck Live

    About 6 months ago I saw Dave Brubeck Live. He is about 81 years old and I dont think he has ever sounded better. The guys he played with were spot on the whole night. The drummer was incredible, the bass player was superb, and the Sax player could have had his own band. It was one of the best...

    George Harrison's Brainwashed

    I have to disagree on the Any road will take you there comment. I think it is a great song and it is my second or third favorite on the album. Listen to the words and it makes sense in a Harrison sort of way. The version on VH1 that they showed last year was much better. It was just George and a...

    Boston Public - 11/18/02

    Anyone think the writing has gone downill ALOT since the start of the series? Harry Senate was my favorite teacher and they could have done so much more with him. The writers need to find ways to use characters fo rmore than one or tow years. Whatever happened to watching characters develop...

    How do we get MGM to put out the Pink Panther series the way we want it? Can we get a petition going on this site? Is there an email for sombody at MGM that can give us an answer? Do we need to tell Blake Edwards to get off his ass and release it? This series demands a new release, and MGM and...

    anyone else like Nick Drake?

    All I meant by the Norah Jones comparison is that they both have smooth haunting voices, with subdued acoustic guitar. Norah has more of a jazz sound, and Drake has a folk sound that I would compare to somebody else, if not for fear of repercussions:)I guess I just think Nick Drake does some...

    anyone else like Nick Drake?

    Anyone here think that Nick Drake is an underrated artist? His three albums from the 70's are great, but almost nobody has heard of him and he gets no radio play. If you guys have seen that Mitsubishi (I think thats the one) car commercial where the kids go out to look at the stars or a party...

    Who wants Peter Sellers Pink Panther SE with outtakes?

    Does anybody here like the old Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers? Sellers is one of my favorite actors and I think he was at his peak with the Panther movies. I have the MGM/UA dvds of all the movies except for Revenge of the Pink Panther, which kinda sucked. These dvds are bare bones, but...

    Dylan Remasters?

    Just when the hell will Columbia come out with remastered Bob Dylan cds? Columbia/Legacy does such a good job remastering the Miles Davis cds, I dont see why they dont rerelease the Dylan albums with bonus tracks. After The Beatles, Dylan is the artist most needing remastered cds. Rob Check...

    New DMB CD & DVD Out today! Did anyone get theirs yet?

    Let me say this, the video editing really pisses me off. For christ's sake, I have add and my attention span isnt as short as the video editors.

    Music - Concert DVD's

    The Eric Clapton Live at Hyde Park is incredible. Eric is really on top of his game and even his songs from average studio albums like August sound fantastic on this dvd. As far as somebody really being on, this is the best you will get, and the sound and video is good too. The James Taylor live...
