You know what's funny? Shams always makes a post...then edits it to add a dig on me into the end. Seriously. He does this every other post. Go back and look. Those ones at the end? After thoughts that I'm sure he high fived himself for thinking up and thinks no one noticed him adding it later.Originally posted by ShamsWoof10AHAHAHAHA Why....? JJ wants a girl to call him ..and I know a girl that will call him if I ask her to...
I'll even have her say she is BONES...or Robyn...

In his defense, he does sometimes go back and quote other posts directed at him and paste them in his other comment in order to prevent oversaturating the thread with his comments.Comment -
I'm talking specifically about the one I quoted and the on a few pages back when he went back in and added that I'm an e-slut (then was so proud that he had to call me one again a few posts later). I've caught it more times, but I can't remember the exact posts.Comment -

I wasn't saying that he doesn't go back and edit a post in order to insult you. That seems up his alley. I was just saying that the times I have noticed, he was being courteous by refraining from flooding the entire page with responses. As you know from my anal retentive ways at AIC, 15 comments in a row from one person drives me absolutely nuts...especially when they are quoted from a quote that was quoted from another quote. It makes me angry just thinking about it!Comment -
I really wish you had worn your helmet from a young age. Did they teach the meaning of "context" in your special classes, or is that just too advanced for your wee brain?Comment -

I actually need to learn how to do that here...but I'm too lazy.
$10 says Shams quotes those last 4 words at least 35 times in the next week.Comment -
Only $10?Comment -
I'm new to betting.

Is anyone else confused by the meaning of "seriously", or is that just Shamsy.
Let me put this simply like I did on my MySpace page:
Always assume I'm being sarcastic, UNLESS DIRECTED OTHERWISE. Using the word "seriously" would be a direction otherwise.Comment -
O.K. people I only have about 2 more hours and I know that this thread could challenge the record books if you all really try. I start you off by saying that Swede when is the last time you started off small? I say never, because your the queen of the big nose checkers.Comment -
I don't like wearing padded things... you were either putting on your makeup at the time you thought about that comment or have me confused with someone else... I mean "seriously".. you must be joking...hahahaOriginally posted by swede96

I can understand your musical tastes running the gamut. My wife is a huge Margot & the Nuclear So & So's fan, loves most of the indie/alternative/rock stuff that I love, and yet also loves a bunch of music that I would consider cheese. If I'm (for whatever reason) driving her car instead of mine, I immediately turn the volume down before I can hear what's playing, then insert my own discs into her changer.Originally posted by Robyn
That said, she's turned me on to Eva Cassidy, Regina Spektor and quite a few other great female vocalists that I never would have given a chance (like you, she sings--I play guitar, she plays keyboard--we're like the band Mates of State only we don't suck)...
OK, so this should be its own thread but here goes:
Music recs based on your music tastes:
If you like:
Margot & The Nuclear So & Sos--- check out www.prayersandtears.com and you can get free dl's of stuff by the band Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers. I'd recommend clicking on the Music tab, then scrolling all the way down and dl'ing "On the Occasion of a Departure" and "Against Pollution (Mountain Goats cover)" from the "Extra Downloadable Music" section. then scroll up towards the top, kind of in the middle, and download the entire "Psalterie" album. "Saving Since September" and "On the Occasion of a Departure are my faves off that album, but the entire thing is nice and chill (and again, it's all FREE dl's from their official site).
Sufjan Stevens (but only some of his stuff---primarily John Wayne Gacy and Concerning the UFO off of "Come on, Feel the Illinois" as a starting point
Beach House-- Sounds exactly like you would expect from a band named Beach House.
If you like Sigur Ros: Air, Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Eluvium (Copia was probably my favorite album of the last year and I probably listened to it 1,100 times while studying for MBA shit and capping games), Bjork (though I see you already have her listed) are all in the same vein, though none is quite as brilliant as Sigur Ros. If you listen to Air, start with Talkie Walkie and the song "Venus"... Mind-blowingly beautiful. Basically, all of this is great music to have on in the background at any time. Not party tunes, though Sigur Ros, Air and Eluvium all work pretty well in the bedroom (for the obvious, naughtier reasons and for actually falling to sleep with music on).
If you like Radiohead: well, you're f*cked. there's nobody quite like Radiohead. Maybe Pulp, Blur, The Verve... I dunno. I don't want to compare anyone to Radiohead.
Finally, just a random sampling of bands that should be listened to. Just brilliant bands:
Okkervil River (Black Sheep Boy and The Stage Names are two of the most perfect albums ever). Below is a link to one of their live shows in Amsterdam (video version): http://www.fabchannel.com/okkervil_river_concert
Just kind of hop around between songs. "For Real" is a real hard rocking song, while "Girl in Port" is a beautiful ballad about girls (not groupies, but more Band-Aids a la Penny Lane) on the road. "Unless it's Kicks" is about fans' obsession with "mid-level" bands and how appreciative the bands (or at least , THIS band) is. But then, there's the song, "Some Back Now, I Am Waiting" (mislabeled as So Come Back Down Now) on the video, which is just f*cking epic, especially in the context of the album's themes ( the album Black Sheep Boy is loosely based on the life on tragic folk singer-songwriter legend Tim Hardin). If you want to dl any of their live shows (audio) go to www.downtheoubliette.com. They have 50 or so shows for dl. Okkervil's sister band/side project Shearwater is a very cool band and is quite similar to the Margot type bands.
If you're looking for more transcendent rock/alternative stuff, then Broken Social Scene is a good start. They are a super-group of Canadian musicians that includes Feist--yes the Feist that sings that 1-2-3-4 Itunes song that quickly became annoying--, Emily Haines from the band Metric--think revised, updated Blondie, but maybe even sexier and more sultry lyrics-- and a host of other musicians that have other projects. British Sea Power and Arcade Fire are two of the better bands around and both rock, but not in the traditional way. Probably two of the better live bands around... Band of Horses, Stars are both great bands... The New Pornographers are another so-called super-group, comprised of A.C. Newman, Dan Bejar (the excellent man behind the group--actually just Bejar--called Destroyer), Neko Case (who released one of the better albums of 2005 or 2006 called "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood")... I could go on and on here...
If you like singer-songwriters in the Elliott Smith (the dude that wrote virtually the entire soundtrack for Good Will Hunting then killed himself by stabbing himself in the heart with a knife during an argument with his girlfriend), Ryan Adams (not Bryan Adams but the lead singer from Whiskeytown) and Damien Rice, then I'd recommend M. Ward's "Post War", Andrew Bird's "The Mysterious Production of Eggs", Bob Schneider (excellent Austin singer-songwriter perhaps best known as Sandra Bullock's old flame, though he is an Austin legend and lyrical pimp--for live show dl's go to archive.org... Actually, that site has Ryan Adams, Andrew Bird, Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Elliott Smith, and a whole ton of other good stuff. Just browse the live music archive on the front page. Great site for legal live dl's of shows...
Again, I could go on and on... Fields, The Frames are both excellent bands that I've seen live recently. If you've seen the movie "Once" (one of the best films of 2007) then you probably are in love with the soundtrack. The lead singer of The Frames (Glen Hansard) is the star of that film and is an Irish singer-songwriter. The Frames is a little more rock-driven, but very, very melodic and just sweet. The album "Burn the Maps" is flat out remarkable. I defy anyone to listen to that album and not fall in love with it. Swell Season is a side project of Hansard's and is comprised of him and the girl from "Once", Marketa Irglova. Swell Season is more singer-songwriter, piano and guitar stuff.
Oh yeah, The National is another fantastic band that's getting a lot of press lately. I would recommend starting with "Alligator" but the critics were all up on their nutsacks for "Boxer" released last year and making numerous top-10 end of year lists...
Seriously, anyone want to talk music on here and I'm your guy.
P.S. The Who may be the greatest band ever, but throw in some Jimi, The Doors, Pearl Jam, Zep, Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Okkervil River (for me at least), Beatles, Stones, My Bloody Valentiine, Neutral Milk Hotel... Really, I've gotta stop now. I'm going to go play my Apple TV on random, pour a stiff Oban on the rocks, and just sit and listen in bliss (I say that, and I'll probably be patiently waiting for music banter on these boards so I can chime in).Comment -
Oh and Robyn,
The "I'm F*cking Matt Damon" skit that Silverman did is probably the single funniest thing I've ever seen or heard. It makes "Dick in a Box" look tame and completely devoid of creativity (and I LOVE "Dick in a Box' so that's saying something).
For the uninitiated, youtube search "Silverman Damon" or even "Fu cking Matt Damon"... You'd have to know the entire backstory behond Kimmel and Damon to fully "get" it, but it's pretty damn funny in its own right. Kimmel's comeback was pretty F*cking funny in its own right, but Silverman came up with the idea and knocked it out of the park.Comment -
Dick in a Box is brilliant. Who knew Justin Timberlake could be funny?!Comment -
Holy crap, you put a lot of thought into this post. I have c/p'd it and emailed it to myself so that I can check later. I am leaving work in a half hour. I will definitely let you know what I think of some of the suggestions once I hear them.Originally posted by babaorileyComment -

Hi NINA!!! JJ I can't get a girl up here with a southern accent so I can't have her say she's NINA...

Wanna know something gay? You are the very first person I have added to my "buddy list" here. I don't see you around often, so I don't want to lose sight of you once I listen to that music.
Pleaseeeeee tell me that you have seen Jimmy's follow-up retort to the Matt Damon song??? I actually think it's better than Sarah's.

HELLO VEGAS!!!!

I didn't even realize. Neat!Comment -
To be honest with you I don't come out here to read posts made by women. They aren't girls either. Anyone can put up a picture. It's a hoax. Sports forums are for men. If I want to chat with girls I go to the bar or club and do it in person. Seems like the average age of posters has decreased by about ten years out here over the last few months.Comment -
Congrats Robyn!!!
Back to topic, I'd actually be more surprised if the gals didn't change avatars at the same time. Communication among women far exceeds men. Between email, texting etc, heck they even go the bathroom together, women are more in-tune with one another. So big deal that 3 of 4 changed. Apparently Robyn missed the email.Comment -
No one that actually knows me would ever call me ditsy...no one with half a brain that has read my posts would say that either.
Listen to Hedge Hog. He is a smart dude.
HH, in case you missed Sporty's post, we all changed it because TTP said he wanted to see what we actually look like. All of our avi's were silly at the time.Comment -

Girls, should we simultaneously put the bikini avatars back up?Comment -
I try to keep a low profile around here and generally stick to the individual sports capping threads. I think I chimed in on a couple threads on the Players Talk page, specifically the thread about NFL cheerleaders, where I basically warned against love of NFL cheerleaders (I was married to a Cowboy cheerleader and the marriage was like a horrible yearlong episode of "Melrose Place"--just drama, drama, drama). And I think I've ragged on JJ a few times. Other than that, I stick to my sports threads for the most part. But yeah, I'm always good for music recs, film recs (I was a hired screenwriter as lately as 2006, though I wasn't particularly good), or book recs (was English major at UT and am a confessed book nut). I'll try to be around the main page a little more often post-NCAA tourney, when I only have to worry about baseball.Originally posted by Robyn
EDIT: I added the bit about Jimmy's follow up (in my original "F*cking Matt Damon post) before reading your post... Yes, it's sheer genius all around. I'd love to hang out with Kimmel and Silverman on a daily basis, getting drunk and just watching them be brilliantly hilarious.Comment -
Nah. No more bikini pics for me. My boobies are so small it's embarrassing.
Yup. That's another one that with go WAY over Shamsies head. He'll be using that one a lot.Comment -
Oh and CONGRATS ROBYN!!Comment -
My husband reads the threads here and saw one of the avatars I posted a few weeks ago. He said that I was getting a little out of control. And he was right. I don't need to impress any of you guys.
Comment -
Wow, Bread said you were out of control?! Which avitar?Comment -
Yes, PM me when you listen to some of it and give me your thoughts. I can literally rattle off about 500 "Must-hear" bands, including about 50 from Austin. Music is one of my passions, so it's easy for me to rant about. I need to get a firm grasp on that whole brevity thing.Originally posted by RobynComment -
Wouldn't that suck if JJ was ghosting all four women too (he's already Deuce Bag from Detroit, Buster, and Compac Dik)Originally posted by JBC77
OMG, posters would fly out to NJ and kill him...and no jury would convict!Comment
