Permanent Waves, Power Windows, or Moving Pictures. I accidentally pre-ordered those twice, and I don't really feel like returning them :o) Seeya!

Well, at least I'm not the only one who thinks "Half the World" is a really cool song....but now you know how I feel about "Resist." That's the BEST song on the album, man! "2112" was one that took me a while to fully appreciate. I didn't grab it, at first, the way I would later. But when I finally got into it.... >But to compare Ged's voice with Spootie...

I want to highly recommend this band to the ytsejammers and >> shamelessly promote the concert in Denver, Azatlan Theater on July >> 26 ($5 at door). I wholeheartedly agree with this recommendation. Although the EP is only about 26 or so minutes, this band sounds really decent. Most of the material is similar in style to DT at 70% of their peak metallicity (I know that this just *has* to be a word) and 50% of thier musical complexity (which is not bad at all). In other words, it rocks pretty well. I plan on getting the new CD right when it becomes available and will send along a review to the jam. I know that it will include the original songs from the EP (with parts redone/rerecorded) along with some new songs. I really think that this would not be a show to miss.

Now, this is in no way represent my views on abortion or any views by any associations with whom I'm affiliated.

That makes two things you spend way too much time doing :) By the way, folks, in case you hadn't figured it out (I just noticed D-man did a couple of posts later, but here we go anyways :), the issue has nothing to do with being gay/straight, the issue here is one of forgery. He could have said: "I'm D-man and I want everyone to know that I pick my nose and eat it." He chose that particular topic knowing it would, ONCE AGAIN, start another intractable discussion. If you've learned nothing else, learn to ignore. It's all part of self-control. Or at most, joke about it :) It deserves nothing more. By acknowledging it, it allows his cock to grow to it's full, enormous size, and thus re-enforces what he's been attempting to prove to everyone all along! Come on back soon, putz. This was fun :) mamalookabubuday: > They're just words people, take a deep breath and relax.

Message-ID: Just thought I'd pitch in to what could wind up being a really great thread. These are my Cds as I'd rank them myself. Now remember, to get to the top of this list and _stay_ there means it had better be pretty darned good, because in the process of making them, I've heard all of these _hundreds_ of times. :) 1. King's X - Acoustic Spirits. When it comes out, you'll all know why. 2. DT - Precious Things. The sound just really made me happy on this one. 3. DT - Acoustic Dreams. Another big one for sound plus content. 4. Rush - Virtual Songs. It's like AM/PM: "Too much good stuff!" 5. DT - The Darkest of Winters. It really seemed to capture the flavor of those Holidays shows, and had some nice rarities on it. 6. Rush - Critical Mass. Again, sound quality. Content is good too. 7. DT - When Dream And Today Unite. It fulfills a wish of many DT fans: to have a CD of WDADU with James singing. 8. Tori Amos - Inside The Storm. I was happy with the sound and very happy with the content, but the manufacturing of this one was a nightmare, including the seizure of the print run by 3M. 9. DT - Antiquities. Not because it lacked for good material, but because a lot of the stuff on it is demos, and thus raw sound quality. The version of TTT on this is possibly the best I've heard. 10. DT - Scenes From a Memory. See Antiquities. 11. Queensryche - Nonexistent. I only put this and the Megadeth CD so low because there's a slight technical glitch on them that I never could figure out the cause of. It has not affected any of my other CDs before or since. And I'm a perfectionist, so it bothers me. 11. (Tie) Megadeth - Razing Arizona. See above. I mean, both of these shows were satellite soundboard, so the content and sound quality is there. It's that damned mystery glitch. You could listen to the entire CD and not notice it... or to one song and never miss it!:) 13. DT - Subconscious. I really didn't know what I was doing yet when I made this. It's a miracle it came out as well as it did. Overall I suppose it's not too bad, but it's not much of a fun listen if you've heard the demos already, and some of the stuff on it has since been released. It DID help ACOS get released..a plus. 14. Metallica - The Wrath of God. I still enjoy listening to this from time to time, but the release was a nightmare, still backlashing from the Tori problem. And Metallica fans are way too impatient compared to you Jammers. The sound wasn't really all that bad. 15. Rush - Cygnus. The most critically slaughtered of all my CDs, with the worst packaging of all my CDs, not even numbered, with content that I only found out afterward I could have improved... argh. The only reason you'd want this now is to have soundboard ver- sions of the cygnus saga, AFTK, and Circ, without having to fork out $45-60 for the 2-disc version another boot company put out. And hey hey hey, that's DT content up there. :) Someone asked what religion I was... I won't get into the religious debate though, because there's no need to. I was raised a Roman Catholic, but I don't really do much with it anymore other than go to Church. No missionary crusaders here in Gilbert, folks. :) It's a minor miracle that I'm not Mormon like 90% (it seems) of the other people in the east valley of the Phoenix metro area. All my long-time local friends are, and just about everyone I went to school with, was. Fascinating. As for persecution sliding off my back... grin. That's an Arizona thing, not a Mike thing. I began to notice it in my dealings with my wife's side of the family. They're all from Chicago, and the general mindset there is very aggressive, pro-active, and frequently high-stress as a result. Only after interacting with those types did I realize just how much everyday annoyance I usually blew off and didn't let bother me. Virtually everything that happened had them aggravated, irritated, griping, or otherwise upset. At one point they asked me if I was just some sort of druggie, because they'd never interacted with someone who just sat peacefully through what they viewed as genuine honest-to-goodness problems and/or crises. So the mirror goes both ways... I see them as oversensitive heart-attacks-waiting-to-happen, and they see me as inattentive and substandard-at-socialization. It's amazing how perceptions change depending on whose point of view one takes. I wonder how this affects the members of DT. They're from New York, and in New York, if someone is overly friendly to you, you RUN (don't walk) in the other direction. So they may be genuinely unprepared for how friendly and chummy a lot of the fans can be toward them, backstage and such. And that's where the misunderstandings arise. I remember James saying once in an interview that he really just needed his space, and that he didn't mean to be cranky toward the fans. (This was back in 1994-5 or so, and he's rather good at the schmoozing thing now, so I guess he solved the problem). - Mike Bahr - email_address_removed - http://www.goodnet.com/~durnik ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Jul 1997 17:29:56 -0400 (EDT) From: The Digital Man To: A Pleasant Shade of Ytse Subject: primus, band names, etc... Message-ID: > From: Adam Barnhart > Subject: Laval Road > > I was with you (though I didn't agree) when you liked putting "Moving > Pictures" and "Signals" together, thinking they were more similar than > "Hemispheres" and "Permanent Waves." But "Moving Pictures" and "Permanent > Waves" are really similar...I think "Signals" has more to do with "Grace > Under Pressure." I agree that PeW and MP are similar, and that S and p/g are similar. But I still say that, groove-wise, song-type-wise, and not necessarily compositionally or keyboard-wise, S is much more like MP than it is like g/p.

Definitely not just you. After Rush, DT, and VH (yes, in that order), Zeppelin is my favorite band and biggest inspiration as a musician.

Just thought I'd bring up that there are a million web pages out there that contain lists of cool, unused band names. Just try a Yahoo search or something. There's also one that I saw once and haven't found since that had the "Chinese menu" system of picking bands in a CGI program. You know what I mean. Take a word from column 1, a word from column 2, and a word from column 3, and get "Ultra Alterna Razors" or something.
