This comment was pretty funny

"Guys, can't you see he's totally right?

I was going to become a globally acclaimed classical Spanish guitarist last year, but instead I picked up a copy of Guitar Hero 3 and thought "fuck it, I'm just going to waste my talent on here for ten minutes and then go for a wank."

The music world collectively weeps."
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Hopefully Think I Need It Too won't turn up on my random playlist and ruin the mood.


Wow. Three times in one morning. That is dedication. However much I agree it is one of (one of rather than the) the greatest songs ever written, I can't listen to it anymore as I went through a stage of overplaying it.

It's okay to put more than one song on a CD-R. :wink:

I'm glad you're in a good mood today, BF. It's nice!

Her car even has the Mp3 thingy so I can do my Killing Moon playlist. I think I'm up to 40 something versions (live/alternate/cover) now. All Night and Whistle Test are still my favorite

I'm quite fond of this comment.

"He doesn't own a computer and thinks that a cassette tape is an acceptable form of storage in 2009?

Wow. After giving that quote did he attack someone using a mobile phone for being a witch, and then cycle away on his Penny-farthing?"

A week at the Pringle Ranch really recharges the batteries so the wife gets to reap some of the benefits also.

The wife says I have totally over-played it and killed the song for her but she had Rage Against the Machine CDs in her collection when I first met her so I kinda tune out when she talks music.

I reject the notion that it is somehow feminine for a man to have a tattoo on his middle lower back.
