I got through the one where Paul's son is born. I thought the symbolic side was MUCH too thick. I never read the first one, becuase I don't usually like "intrigue" books, and from the reviews I read Dune smacked of it.

It felt like the dialgoue was mostly a pretense to compile a dossier containing a complete psychological profile of each character. I don't know if it is explicitly Freudian, but if Freud is a stand-in for the carcicatured Herr Doktor, it fills the bill.

Akin to the Matrix in my mind, although I can see how it fills a niche since not many writers have the nerve to peddle this kind of philoso-babble in the first place.

I do remember liking it OK when I read it as a 15 yo, which I think is the ultimate comment. Of course, at that time I was just coming off a Piers Anthony addiction so..

it is a bit of a dumb album but overall ignoring the stupid side i think a reasonable amount of it is pretty good. It's that old thing about how if it was any other pop punk band people'd probably love it. Emo is waaay better obviously, though.

Pricey123 (November 29, 2009)

listening to the emo album at the moment. ive had it for a couple of years and only just starting to warm to it. i think some songs drag on and get a little repetitive ('last night') but the first 3 tracks are solid

All i gotta say is six percent is a great track... surprises me though, given ben's politics

Yeah, that could have been a great album if a few tracks had been dropped off in the end, although if you were to ask me on different occasions I'd pick different songs to get rid of. "Six Percent" might be the best thing Ben Weasel ever wrote.

It was bittersweet when that album came out, knowing it was the last album of new material from Screeching Weasel, so the sentimentality of the album makes it better than it really is, I think.

I think TPIH is their best album. If anyone ever asked me what "punk" means to me, I'd play them "Message In A Beer Bottle". Says it better than I ever could.

Favre has proven that you can't win with him for 20 years. One Super Bowl sure, but thats all Peyton Manning has too. And if you're going to a pass first/pass-second team how much better can you do than Manning? There's a lesson there.

Favre averages 17 picks a season and even in years where his team was good he put up some outrageous totals in the 20s. Now the Vikings are pass happy and Peterson is somewhat of a nonfactor (50 passes a game?)

Minneapolis is only a threat if they win by defualt because no one else in the NFC steps up. Even then, its likely Favre will catch "Super Bowl Fever" and throw the game away like he did his last year with the Packers.

Turnovers, high number of possessions for the opposing team, and your defense always on the field is the prescription to lose in the playoffs if you're the Vikings. And gee, that wouldn't be Favre's career MO or anything..

Unless the Titans somehow get some divine intervention and make the playoffs (it's still technically possible), i've totally got his back during the playoffs.

I saw the preview for that a long ass time ago. When did it actually come out?

I thought it was ok, but not great. Some of the acting by the talking heads was fairly mediocre which can really take you out of the documentary feel it was going for. The whole storyline with the girl who was kept as a slave was really good though. Especially the interview with her towards the end.

The premise was a lot more interesting than the final product.

I'm not really one to criticize a movie for a lack of "realism" but i thought the killing scenes were too gruesome for what an actual documentary would have shown. I think a "less is more" approach to the "footage" would have made for a more interesting movie.

Ultimately the reform road had to end up at Keynsianism, but at the same time implementing such a reform would cease to be "reform" at all and become a revolutionary overthrow of the capitalists.

So there are only two choices: bring this fucker down, or go meekly to our end.

In the meantime, we cling to the shit jobs we have and think "There but for.." when we see all those people lined up at the job fairs and the unemployment line

Things are gonna change..

..because they have to

Why did it suck? He's playing here soon and I was thinking of maybe attending.

we waited like an hour & a half after the openers for him to start. then i was surrounded by a bunch of gross guidos & their girlfriends who were ALL smoking. oh & i thought he'd be playing fun songs... no, he played a lot of his slower songs & just yelled half his lines... and his mic kept giving off terrible feedback because of the yelling.
overall not a good time.

Im 21, and my entire closet of shirts are band shirts

That is good to hear because Im 20 and i also only wear band shirts. I dunno what will convince me to change but most likely age will be a major factor

I knew I could count on you

I don't really wear band shirts anymore.

That said, i don't see anything wrong with anyone wearing them, it's just not my thing anymore.

I'm 26 and probably only have about two band shirts left. I wear them to sleep if at all.

fuck that! all i wear are band t-shirts

I am 27 and about 3/4 of my wardrobe is band t-shirts. More recently I have been wearing fewer and fewer of them though.

I use them as undershirts for the most part. I have been phasing them out of my going-out wardrobe.

Stupid growing up.

I'm 27, and band shirts are nearly all I wear. Why the fuck would I want to wear some retarded overpriced boring shit when I could support bands like Nothington or Samiam?

28 yo, same deal, but I also wear shirts with people like Malcom X, Ho Chi Minh, Amilcar Cabral and so on. I thought they'd be good conversation starters.

I never go anywhere where you are expected to dress well though.

Once I talked to a Catholic Monk who does missionary work in Angola. He didn't know who Augusto Neto (my avatar on the Summit) was or Cabral on my T-shirt. Disappointing.

I did get a big thumbs up from a Black Mumia-Marxist once though

I've got a whole draw full of band shirts that I wear daily. And I don't ever see that changing.

I still wear band shirts all the time. Generally under my shirt at work I'll have a band shirt on, and on days off I'll layer with band shirts. I cut the logo off of the older ones that I still want but can't wear anymore. One day I'll make a quilt or somethin.

i'd say half of my shirts are band shirts, and half of those are hot water music shirt.

Im 21 and all I wear are band shirts in fact im wearing one now!

I dont, because I dont really like advertising for anybody. Even if they are a cool band. It took me a really long time to find shoes without logos on them. That was the toughest.

fuck the allouettes. they dont deserve to win the grey cup

I had no emotional stake in this game, but Montreal played a solid, solid second half.

Whoever was responsible for that 13th man at the end deserves to be shot; what a way to lose a game.

the thing is that duval the missed the field goal, henceforth they shouldent have won, but whoever the FUCK made that 13th man mistake should get shit dumped on his lawn like someone did to paul mccallum that one year. i've probly already done 200$ worth of damage on my house from throwing stuff all over the place.

there is a rule being passed to make all the teams the rough riders. To differentiate they are going to put capital letters in different places within the names. Montreal rOugH RiDErs

It would be sad if the UFL gets more teams in a few years than the CFL has in decades.

Well they have been to the last 7 grey cups and only won 1. But yeah Duval is a fucking moron and he should have lost the game for the team. Lucky guy

I had a similar experience in a guitar trio. It ruled. But as far as starting a punk band goes, I never got to experience it. :(. Still looking for that feeling and to play an actual show.

The only time i had that feeling egos blew our band up. It was a metal band though so i was okay with that

I'm watching that right now. The later seasons are really a stretch.

Entertaining if you take it in context as Libertarian propaganda.

yeah they're pretty obvious about their bias.

Green Day/the Living End at the Fillmore in Denver, 2001.

Btmi! This past summer is in the top ten, as is the TBR/Cobra Skulls show a couple weeks ago. The Green Day show I saw this year was literally the worst show I've ever been to.

As opposed to the best non-live show?

I'm pretty sure it was under 150 a couple weeks ago. With the summit up and running, I don't see the org ever getting more than 1000 comments on Navel Gazing like they used to.

I blame me having to much homework

You know that some people -- like me -- comment the next morning right? It doesn't have to only be a Sunday night thing.
