Id like to get a quick headcount of all the Houston, Texas Ytsejammerz.
I currently reside in Beaumont right outside of Houston and id like to get a 
list of some kind of the Houston area jammerz.  DT needs to come back down 
here.  Its been a while.

HAhaahahahahahaha.....those were some below the belt comments about the 
videos of OFB, but finally, someone sees eye to eye with me.  The thing that 
has always made me laugh about their videos is how James is the centerpiece 
of the entire video.  Its freakin hilarious!!  He is obsessed with the camera 
and hes always "breathing down its lens" and stuff.  I also agree that the 
videos dont define Dream Theater.  But for that matter, theyre really havent 
been any video from any band that really have.  I think Kevin Moore should 
make them one...i hear hes quite the video maker these days.   Or maybe puff 
daddy.....<sarcasm off> well, as long as DT keeps making the best music on 
earth, Fuck videos.  They are merely a commercial ploy to the musically 
retarded for them to spend 15 bucks on an album with like one or two songs 
they really want to hear.  I do agree that there is an artistic end to them, 
but its not being excercised (esp. in DT videos).....oh well....im sure ill 
get flamed for these comments....

    I bet if MTV started playing more Dream Theater and featured any
progressive rock, half the people on this list would be bitching about
what sellouts they are, and how it used to be fun liking a rather
unknown band versus the commercial success they have become.. this is of
course assuming that a prog metal band could "make it" after the
exposure on MTV.  IF MTV started showing videos of those bands you
listed, I still wouldn't watch.  I'm not a huge fan of music vids, but
if I was I'd want to see new, up and coming music.  I don't enjpoy
listening to classic rock, especially metal, all that much.  Now if they
ever showed a Devin Townsend video, THAT I would watch.

So true Cheryl.  We had Pirate Radio, then that died, then KNAC, then
that died as well.  I think KNAC still has a web site around, and I've
seen flyers and posters for them all over the place.  If you can stand
on your head and do cartwheels for the sake of good reception, there is
a decent station in the Inland Empire called KCAL.. I think it's 96.9 or
something.  I can't get it here at school but I can get ut at home,
which is 60 miles from the base of the station.

Any PAL video traders, I STRONGLY suggest you go to O-P for this LTE video.   
The tape O-P made the PAL conversion from was a 1st generation S-VHS 
(approximately 2x the resolution of normal VHS).  So it stands to reason that 
this is the BEST PAL version of the LTE NAMM/Roxy shows out there.

James is screaming, "Mr. John Petrucci on guitars!!!!" as he does after
every time Petrucci solos.

I guess Shirley and Portnoy thought it would sound weird to include on
the live album or something, but I think it sounds even weirder after
they muted James' channel during the final mixing process when you
actually can hear him through the other channels.  (probably through the
mic that was recording the audience cheering or something)

Some of the AR stuff is OK. Here's a quick test for you...
Knock on the cabinets, if they sound like a wood box, think twice.
If they are like knocking on a slab of concrete, think no more, buy them
if you like how they sound. As a rule of thumb: Speaker manufacturers don't
put cheap drivers in good cabinets, and they certainly don't waste good drivers
installing them in lousy cabinets.  If you knock on the large side of the cabinet
and they sound like a kettle drum, they probably aren't worth the effort of
connecting wires to them.

>(BTW, I would like the setup to be fairly good for listening to music,
>as well as being a nice 5.1 surround setup for TV).

You really can't have your cake and eat it, too.  You need to decide
what's more important, stereo or theater.  Multi-channel receivers
are a poor man's home theater and a music lover's vehicle to shooting
ones self in the foot.  You can always integrate a three channel amp and
external surround processor into a stereo setup. Then, when your processor's
format becomes yesterdays news, the processor is the only thing that needs
to be replaced, not the entire electronics array. Seperate components have
and always will be more versitle than the all-in-one wonder boxes.

BTW, I checked out the AR 312 HO speakers via the provided link...
I'm a little concerned about the way they color the specs.  No way in hell
will they go down to 30 Hz @ -2 dB in an enclosure that small.  They also
conveniently avoid publishing what the materials are under the veneer.
There was no mention of weight, low frequency F3 and F10 roll-off.
They also played a little spec trick with the sensitivity measurement.
This raises a flag with me. I question what they are trying to hide.
Before you drop any coin on those speakers, let me see if I can find
a local AR dealer. I'll take a peek and see what they are all about.
AR is not adhering to the normal methods and procedures regarding
speaker performance measuring, they are playing the same spec game
that Fisher, and Box-O-shit brand speakers are.  At $479.00 each retail,
I think you could do much better. But I will give them the benefit of the
doubt and check them out.

The song's title is "Lovely Day".  A local Funk/Soul band, Greazy Meal, 
covers that song all the time.

I have no idea who the original artist is, but Kool and the Gang is a good 
guess.

Right here, right now.  I live in Houston.  Actually,
I live in Tomball, north of Houston.  I literally live
directly across the street from the city.  In case you
don't know, Tomball is mainly filled with a lot of
dumb, shit-kicking hicks.  Yes it's true.  Hm, so far
there's at least two Houston-jammers...

The song is called "Lovely Day" and it was written by Bill Withers in 1977.
You can find the song on his 1994 release "Lean on Me: The Best of Bill
Withers".
