If you must wear one of those things please wear it the right way round so you don't look like a total retard….Personally I would rater go with the John Merrick look.

Were you hugging the tree at the time?

Having given softball a go a few years ago. I found it made cricket look exciting, (and that's saying something) Each to their own though, but my point was it's hardly something that makes you tired, unless it's from severe sunburn.

it stands to reason that i will wear the cap the correct way, i will however stand infront of the shortest person i can find, no tree hugging for me, i snaged a big fuck off branch which promptly landed on my head, oh how everyone laughed at my missfortune.

I think the question is where have all the proper bands been… last year we got a great spring with the Charlatan's, the Phonics', Doves, JJ72, Idlewild, David Gray, etc… this year there has been very few things to get enthused about.. haven't bought many records either.. the only one that really got me excited was Interpol (yes, I was a late bloomer but I shied away cos of the hype)…

Poorlulu.. Meg White is pasty and horrid, did you see the Q magazine with them on the cover.. unflattering pictures if there ever were some…

anywho, see you all tonight…

i disagree. his latest album is pretty mediocre, but take a listen to his debut, a century's end. while perhaps not your music, i think you'll agree that lyrically and emotionally, he's talented.

then again, maybe not.

btw, david gray played in may 2001 and feb 2003, not spring 2002.

Lily, I don't think you understand.

If Rhett says he's crap, then he's crap. End of story.

Alright, the handful of songs I've heard were crap, so admittedly I haven't heard every song he's ever recorded.

My wife thinks he's crap too.

ah, well, to each their own. i love the guy, but if you don't, that just means one less person clamoring for a ticket when he tours. works for me!

Ah, it's what makes the world go round. I thought it was a splendid spring for shows. And hell, just this week I've been to five.

Since March, the last time Fico thought there was a decent show, we're talking The Datsuns (the album blows, but they are great live), Soundtrack of our Lives, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Hot Hot Heat, Cursive, The Notwist, Cheap Trick, Ataris, Longwave, Fountains of Wayne, Pearl Jam w/ Buzzcocks, Guided by Voices, Raveonettes. Not bad, and there were a bunch I coudn't make it to….Brendan Benson, Ash, The Oranges Band, Bob Mould at Fort Reno.

Granted, not every show was a killer, but all were interesting and worth catching.

So, it's all in the ear of the beholder, I do believe. As you can glean from the Rhett Miller/Bob Pollard/scientist arguments over 'legends' and decent music.
