Awesome!! New Thread. Loving the fast loading too.

Oh! I had my second interview today at another location. It must be policy or something.

Again I thought it went well, now I have to wait a week to hear anything if I've been 'successful'.

Lets hope so!!

I still don't have the login info. But MFC gave me the HTML code and I gave the page a facelift. I'll do more major stuff once I get the login. But I'm just happy to be rid of the purple!

Well, this name did start out as an actual name change thread, but then it just kept going and going and going and going and going...EVERYTHING is in this thread, well the past two, and as soon as we get to 150 pages, we start the new one.

We do occasionally talk about goo. That's how it's able to stay here :D

The 1st thread started out about Drew's name change. And has morphed into random nothingness. The more random the better. And, every now and again we throw some Goo in just to keep it on the main board.  ;)

Did my failure at Minesweeper offend?  Shortly after, I won and beat the best score, so everything is okay.

Anyways, I just learned that the stretch of road I will be driving tomorrow from London to Windsor is referred to as "Carnage Alley".  Doesn't that just make you feel warm and fuzzy?

I've never played this minesweeper game. What's the strategy/goal behind it? Someone please explain so I can give it a try.

My addiction is Sweet Tooth on pogo.com. I play that regularly. My hubby and I are in a competition for high score. So far he can't even come close to my high score.

Goal: Don't blow up.  Click all of the boxes that are not landmines.

Strategy:  Mark the mines so you don't blow them up.  Not that it matters, since eventually you'll have to make a guess and blow up anyways...

The numbers in each of the boxes that aren't mines relate to how many mines touch that box(including on it's corners). If there's a two, there are two mines touching that box, so be careful. ;)

No, it really isn't. Haha.

Goo vinyls aren't worth nearly that much; there just isn't fan demand for them. Everybody wants the CD because they can actually play that. ;) So the reprinted CD sells for more than the vinyl version... and neither of them should cost you $75 unless you're really not trying too hard to get a good deal.

I got the album for Christmas. It's not the original, well, duh, but I imported it onto my iTunes and I don't listen to it much either, I have my music on shuffle so it pops up once in a while.

I don't know the average price it usually goes for, but I know it's less than his lowest asking price...

I'm actually more annoyed that this particular person came on here, asking for downloads and asking for advice on this album.  A few of us answered his question on the value of the album because he made it seem as though he wanted to buy it for a fair price, when he was really just testing the waters to see how much he could rip off fellow fans.  I don't appreciate the whole "shit where you eat" approach, I suppose.

I had two Kens as well.  Ice Skater Ken had an accident and his leg fell off and since he was a special bendy Ken, the leg couldn't just be snapped back on.  So I just stuck the leg in his super tight sea foam green ice skating ensemble and had a Ken who could swing his leg around.

Yeah. I've just decided I like parantheses way too much. It's almost as bad as elipses...

I'm a little sad that both times, I was with people who did not know who the Incredible Lance Diamond is.  :-/

I guess that's why it's easier to talk on a messageboard. I read this board almost 6 months before I ever registered and waited a bit longer before I started posting.

When I was in my 20s I was so shy. It's definitely gotten better as I've gotten older. But I'm still not the person to approach people first. I have neighbors that moved in last year that I still haven't met. Of course they're rarely home but when they are I just can't bring myself to walk over there and introduce myself. It's horrible.

It's so much easier to 'talk' on a messageboard. �You can sit for 10 minutes and plan your witty response, or you can just respond with emoticons. �Plus, it's way easier to lie to 'be' whoever you want. �My name is actually Jose, I'm from Nebraska, and I'm 45.

And I think you get less shy as you get older because you stop caring what other people think when you realize just how many people are stupid.

But the one chick, Brittany Snow, who played Amber Von Tussle, looked really familiar. Halfway through the movie, I realized she looked like the girl who played the nurse in the video for The Phrase That Pays (http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2867256) by The Academy Is...(Alright, I'm a little obsessed at the moment)

That's nice.  There is a picture of John at his wedding floating around that is one of my favorite pictures of John (not that I will post it in the OMGHOTJOHN thread).

I was thinking of another reason to be bothered by the band show.  I habitually record anything the Goos do (started when I was 14 and feel compelled to finish the job even though I don't do much watching anymore).  I'm going to drive myself crazy with 12 HOURS of footage.  Once all the commercials are edited out, that's still like 4 DVDs taking up space just for John's "You know, that was pretty good.".

These five years have both dragged and flew by.  Is it weird that WOG has been my only constant 'home' for my whole college experience?  It's freaking me out that everyone went back to school this week and I'll be done in like a week and probably won't ever go back.  

Now the little red o just needs to find a real job...

Sadly, I did not save my Goo Bell Curve in my PM outbox. I doubt if nmf still has it, and my right-hand gal is away at school. I am totally deficient in the necessary computer skills to label the bell curve, so I will attempt to explain.

It has to do with rating my favorite Goo cds, so SSCW would be at the top of the curve, LLI way off to one end, "First Release" way off to the other end, and the others falling up and down each side of the bell curve; the more I like a particular cd, the higher up on the curve it is positioned.

Gah...so much easier to show in a lovely labelled graph, but alas...

Speaking of computer literacy... My parents' computer is a mess.  I always fix it for them and go through the rules of using the internet and they never listen to me.  So, right now I have a computer to deal with that has multiple viruses and is playing music that no one owns or admits to have played on the computer.  Anyways, since my attempts to remove the viruses are failing, I just told my dad (who pretends he's a computer expert) that I was thinking of wiping the whole thing out and that he needed to tell me what he wanted saved.  At that point he asked me if it would delete his email inbox...

Nicole...that sounds exactly like my experience with my parents and their computer. Every time I visit them I have to hook something up for them or fix/adjust something. Last time I was there I had to rehook up their DVD player so they could use it. The cable guy messed it all up. It sat that way for a year because they kept forgetting to ask me to look at it :shakehead:  I'm quite frankly shocked I haven't received a call from them asking what all the buttons on the remote mean...lol

I just need to share a story with the only people who could possibly appreciate how cruel life is.

I've been seriously considering going to Cleveland for the GGD show on Sept 26.  It's about 4 hours away, and I'd stop by my friend's house in Erie on the way back for a day or two.  I'm done with school mostly and have pretty much nothing to do except the job search, so no problem, right?  Just last night I told my friend I'd be coming to visit.

And 40 minutes ago I got an email from a company I've interviewed with asking me to fly out to do an on-site interview... on Sept 26.  

I've never been so mad and happy at the same time.

(And telling them I'm going to a concert is not an acceptable reason to ask them to reschedule.  Right?)

Title: Re: Name Change Thread: Now in 3D!
Post by tkc1989 on Sep 11th, 2007, 4:27pm
Hmmm...or you could lie and come up with a more valid reason to reschedule? I doubt they'd mind you not being available...I mean they must've decided on the date without speaking to you? So they shouldn't  100% expect you to be free that day...right? :-/

Yeah, I hear ya. Growing up can suck sometimes. Messes things up now & then.
But if you go on the interview as scheduled, they will view you as more dependable than if you tried to reschedule, and who knows? You may get a really cool job doing the thing that you spent so many years training for, and...

Depending on the city your interview is in, maybe you could take a train.
They should be able to set you up in another hotel.
And if the car rental agency isn't working out, maybe you could look into one of these:

http://www.zipcar.com/how/

http://www.flexcar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=103

You'll figure it out. If you are having trouble making arrangements, let the company/firm/institution know, and maybe they can help you.


(Maybe someone here on the boards lives near the location where your interview will take place.)

Issues have mostly be resolved.  I wasn't doing any of the work, I was just on the phone with the person arranging it all.  She actually said "It should not be this difficult to get you here".   :D

(And I think of everyone on the board, YOU live the closest to where the interview will take place  :D )

Hey, have you used Zipcar? They have it at my daughter's school. Way cool idea.

Okay, I caved. I looked at the unicorn link, and proceeded to laugh hysterically.
"... In addition to the mighty horned beast, he includes three humans which may be impaled on his horn: a new age woman, a business man, and a mime..."

You should click the link.  Unicorn-impaling-people playsets are worthy of clicking.

I haven't used Zipcar, but someone was praising it, so I found the website and read up on it.  It seems so cool.  You track down any car, walk up to it, and drive away.  I can't imagine the bizarre stuff that happens in some of those cars though...

I sent out a mass note to friends that I wanted it.  Birthday, Christmas, just cause... I'm going to keep telling people until I see the available stock decrease...

I haven't used Zipcar, but someone was praising it, so I found the website and read up on it.  It seems so cool.  You track down any car, walk up to it, and drive away.  I can't imagine the bizarre stuff that happens in some of those cars though...

As long as it wasn't previously used by a mime, I'm okay with it.

Guess who found another Goo fan in Windsor....I DID!! �;D AT WORK EVEN!!

I was covering a shift for another partner and so was he, so obviously we were talking and striking up a conversation. The subject got onto music, I said I love all kinds of music, but I do have a favourite band. He asks me my favourite band, I tell him, then he proceeds to show me on his upper arm his IRIS tattoo. I died. I literally died. I did not know ANYONE as big of a fan in windsor as I was.

LOL. Sooo he was gonna take the bus home so I asked if he needed a ride. I ended up driving him home and we listened to my demos and lives CD I made.
;D Nothing like listening to IYB with an equal.

It was so exciting to actually talk about the goo goo dolls without someone going...oh, I like Slide...or Oh, my favourite song is that one on the radio.

Seriously, I died a little ;D

Haha, I haven't seen that before! That was pretty awesome. It's so great to see them playing Name right back when it was all fresh and new for them, before it got so big.

Random(ish) video time - this is not the greatest song ever, nor the greatest animation ever, but it's MY greatest animation so far, so that'll do.

Read this because there's a Goo reference in the middle.  But it doesn't hurt to read the whole thing because Paul Westerberg is awesome.

And don't take it the wrong way.  It's almost a compliment in 'Paul speak'.  He usually brutally insults everyone who is influenced by him, but he's actually always pretty nice to John.

Aww, I wouldn't kill you.  It's not like he gets played on the radio or anything.  I bought the Best Of/B-Sides Replacements collection years ago because I was curious to see if the Goos "were rip offs of the Replacements", as everyone loves to say.  I loved it, so I bought a couple others, then got into Paul Westerberg's solo stuff, which I love waaay more than the band stuff.  It's such an acquired taste though, it seems.

I give you kudos for figuring out that the lightning background is actually a Halloween background. I had several backgrounds that I tried with ghosts and witches but the lightning was the keeper.

So is this a job you'd really want?

I didn't really think the lightning was for Halloween, but I saw your avatar and put two and two together.

I technically interviewed for two jobs in the same company.  It seems like I'd be okay there, but I can't really make up my mind until I have an offer in front of me with a salary and the terms laid out.

No, you can't just find the files on the dvd and drop them into iTunes like audio tracks.

You can find software that will let you rip dvds to your computer and then extract the video you want.  It's technically illegal, I've never attempted it, and I can't give you much more info than that.  A quick Google search will give you more info than you ever need to know though.

It's not really that random.  The Goos supported the Democratic party pretty vocally for the 2000 and 2004 elections and played benefits.

My only questions are:
  • Why is Hillary using a male performer when this benefit is apparently about getting women involved?  Are we supposed to assume that women will find John(ny) dreamy, and that will be the reason they will get involved and, ideally, vote for Hillary?
  • Why is Hillary not, you know, being a senator?  And, you know, hanging out in the state she is senator of?  
  • What is John going to be doing, exactly?

I always just go to the counter and have them decide what to put on it if it's not staying in the US.  If you don't want to do that, just stick 3 stamps on to be safe.

This is pretty awesome.  I still say the seagull wins though, because he apparently goes in almost daily and steals the same brand of chips every time.

And my iPod Goo list made me laugh, because Goo is nowhere near the top of my list.  :-/ It's pretty wrong though, because it says I've never listened to certain songs when I have.

1. Truth is a Whisper
2. Here is Gone
3. What Do You Need?
4. A Million Miles Away
5. Domino
6. Think About Me
7. What a Scene
8. Two Days in February
9. String of Lies
10. Another Second Time Around
11. Stand Alone
12. Ain't That Unusual
13. Disconnected
14. Full Forever
15. Extra Pale
16. Hit or Miss
17. I Don't Want To Know
18. Long Way Down
19. Two Days in February (EOAC)
20. Big Machine

My highest ranking LLI song was SWY, with 4 plays.  :D

Thanks for the radio clip, even though I had to listen to John refer to himself as Rzeznik.

And I named no names when I speculated everyone had jumped ship to Matchbox 20.  :D

And starting next Friday, chat starts at 7:45.  It is required that you place your tv and computer in the same room.  First, we will place bets on John's clothing choices and number of "you knows" in the episode.  Then we will cringe for two hours.  Then we will link to pictures of trainwrecks from 10-11.  After that is a free for all.

After I saw them in concert for the first time I bought LLI and listened to it on repeat over and over for weeks. Then I realized how much better their older material was.
That's why I have some many LLI songs with high play counts.

I totally see the face on the hand... why do all of these accidental faces happen in this thread?  And I'm pretty sad you're not coming to the chat party.  What, will you be too busy getting drunk with real people?

Worst song on each album?
FR:  Let's say Messed Up.  There are many worthy contenders though
Jed: Em Elbmuh, duh.
HMU: 22 Seconds.  I still love it though
SSCW: Stop the World (Ducks and prepares to be ejected from WOG.  Seriously, this is a great song until the end, then it's like they didn't know how to end it.  And halfway through this song is where the rest of the album falls apart.  SSCW is the perfect album until halfway through Stop the World)
ABNG: Eyes Wide Open
DUTG: Acoustic #3, but this is a technical *lose* because it's supposedly not the whole song.  Still think it would lose though.
GF: Smash or Up, Up, Up.  Maybe Smash just got too overplayed live for me to appreciate it.
LLI: Listen, but there were a lot of songs vying for the suckiest.  Honorable mentions to WYH, CLIG, Strange Love, and Become.

And for fun, on LIB, GALB is the worst.  It's awful.  It sounds terrible and I hate it and always stop the DVD before it plays.  I totally understand that it was raining and miserable and their equipment was falling apart, but it still sucks.

Your HMU, SSCW, ABNG, and DUTG choices are unforgivable.  I have put in a request to have you removed from WOG.  We are no longer speaking.  :D  (Sympathy was close for GF.  I never need to hear it again, and never loved it)

I want a dream about GHV2!  My last Goo dream, like a year ago, was that I went through a bunch of crap to get to a concert and I was in the front row and I woke up right as the concert was about to start.  I was sad.

That's what I'm here for. :devil:
Just to explain my choices: YKNWIM is just repetitive as all hell... I always make it through half of the song and end up skipping it. Don't Worry is forgettable compared to the rest of the songs on that album. Disconnected is an okay cover but I'm still bitter about not getting Stand Alone instead. And I already knew someone would kill me for Hate This Place. :D

Other signs that I am totally not worthy of being here: When I saw "GH2" I thought he was talking about Guitar Hero 2. Which is probably way more awesome than Greatest Hits Volume 2. :P

I just witnessed the cruelest job anyone could ever have: being the person who has to do sign language for a Bob Dylan concert.

Can you believe I didn't get "Like a Rolling Stone"?!

Bob Dylan is pretty bad-ass live though.  He's 66 years old and performs for two hours, singing, playing piano and harmonica, and doing this little dance at the same time. (Some musicians that we all know and love should take some lessons... ::))

It was at RIT, which has a large number of deaf students, hence, the signer.  There was a little spot to the left of the stage with a spotlight and someone signed the entire concert.  They had headphones on, but I don't know if they were getting lyrics from spoken word or if they just had a vocal feed.  When there was a guitar solo, the signer would air guitar for a bit, then just dance a little.  The woman signing during Bob Dylan had the best dance moves ever.  She held her arms to her sides and moved her shoulders up and down.  Brave soul to dance in a spotlight by yourself for two hours.  :D

John is totally capable of handling the guitar.  Before 1998 he handled all guitar and sounded damn good doing it.

Can we burn the jacket though?  On the professional websites there are pictures from him at 3 events in a row wearing that ugly thing.  He looks awful AND he looks like he doesn't have anything else 'formal' to wear.  Wearing the same black shirt all summer is forgiven, but the same damn ugly suit is too much.

VERY cool to see them play as a trio.

Is it written in their contract somewhere that when they play that song, the camera must pan to different areas and show pics of other people?

Hey,

How is everyone doing? I've been off and on lately but haven't been replying....which I should be :P

I miss the late night chats cause sometimes I'm working until close.

I love my job!! Starbucks is amazing. I recommend you all go get some NOW. lol.

And to keep this thread on the up and up about Goo...Should I expect to hear Better Days radio stations start to play non-stop Christmas.

seriously there's this one radio station over in Detroit that plays Christmas music November 1st, don't get me wrong, I LOVE CHRISTMAS, but it's just too soon. Why don't they start playing it after the American Thanksgiving?

There haven't been any chats in a long time, so you haven't missed anything. I think there is one this Friday.

I agree, November 1st is way too early for Christmas music!

My friend has been trying to convince me to get a job at a Starbucks that's like two miles from my house. I would if, If I had more time!

I approve of Christmas music from December 23rd to December 25th.  And December 25th after 8 pm is pushing it.

Friday chat - This Friday 8pm EST.  It is required that you have a tv next to your computer.  I also suggest alcohol for the "you know" drinking game (unless you're underage, in which case alcohol is evil and you shouldn't touch it...  ::)).

I will be about 2 hours late for that chat...I have to work until 9:30pm and I don't usually get home until 9:50...and I don't have a television next to my computer, which is unfortunate.

I am recording it. :D So if everyone's still on after 10 which I am assuming it is, AND if it's all good I'm going to do my goldschlagger shots then :D YAY!! lol.

Post by Shannon on Oct 22nd, 2007, 6:58am
I know a little. I've bought a couple things off there but never sold anything.

I will say this though.....watch out for the eBay email scams. I get emails to all of my email addresses telling me my eBay account has been compromised and to click on the link and fix it. Big scam....don't do it. If it's a ligit email from eBay they'll tell you to go to their site and sign in from there. If you enter your account info from the scam email link they'll get all your info and hack into your account. I get similar emails from Paypal....watch out! I know these are all fake because I'm getting emails to email addresses I don't even have registered with eBay or Paypal. Just a little FYI as I delete another scam email.

Title: Re: Name Change Thread: Now in 3D!

I should specify that my questions are about buying, not selling.

And I get those fake eBay emails all the time, in all of my accounts.  I get them almost as often as those "Good evening, my client just died in Nigeria and has $45,000,000 they want to give you" emails.  God, if just one of those was legit... :D

Hi Shannon - checking in with a question for everyone...

Anyone remember Star Search with Ed McMahon (sp?)?

Did any of it's winners make it big and stay big, i.e., he/she/they are still around and still successful?

Watching NGAB made me think of that show, since it was the first talent search type show on TV that I can remember.

Love the cat video.  My parents go on and on about how the cats go crazy in the morning to be fed.  I don't feel bad for them though, because all they need to do is sleep with the door closed...

A few weeks ago, my parents and sister were gone for the night and there was a storm, so I kept my door open for the dog, who freaks out when there's thunder.  I woke up early the next morning and my two cats were sitting on my floor staring at me.  It was creepy.

Get Out!!!! We have about 34' with rain, complete overcast and heavy wind but no snow.....yet. I don't think I could live in Buffalo for that very reason.

I don't really 'get' Amungus.  I know Robby likes a lot of electronic type music, so more power to him, but it's definitely not my thing, hence the debating.  

Pros
  • Moderately close
  • At my school
  • I like Robby?

Cons
  • Not my type of music, and they'll apparently be playing each song twice
  • Snow
  • Those girls who will undoubtedly show up whose sole goals in life are to be pointed at by a Goo member and cause obnoxious scenes.


Uh... yeah, I think I just talked myself out of it.  It will be on tv.

If you have CMT turn it on now and watch the Keith Urban special. You have to check this out. It's beyond awesome. Watch him play guitar. You'll see why I'm such a fan. Plus....his vocals are fantastic.

Okay...back to Goo now.

I'm not normally a fan of country music, but his music is definitely catchy.  I like the version of "You're My Better Half" from that special. :)

Title: Re: Name Change Thread: Now in 3D!
Post by Shannon on Nov 10th, 2007, 1:38am
I'm so excited someone actually watched it. YAY!

That is a good version of You're My Better Half. He can just play the hell out of a guitar. And he's an amazing picker. He has a five piece band now but still plays lead guitar while singing....it's amazing. And get this .... his live show is 2-1/2 HOURS! It was well worth the money spent to see his show.

I grew up with my dad and brother listening to country all the time and I hated it. It wasn't until a friend of mine told me about Keith that I actually started to give country a chance. I love it now but still don't really like the old school twangy stuff. I like the new country rock that's popular now.

Did you see him preform on the CMA Awards? I watched it for a while, but missed him singing.

I used to be a huge country music fan. I've seen Rascal Flatts twice in concert and Toby Keith once. :D I do still listen to country music occasionally, but I prefer the more crossover artists like Keith Urban.

I did see him perform at the CMAs. He sung Everybody which is one of my favorites off LPATCT. I love how that song just builds and builds. His best performance of Everybody so far has been on Leno. Did you see that one? It was a couple weeks ago.

If you ever come across an osage orange and think it would be fun to play with, don't buy it!  Don't buy it, don't cut it open, don't get your fingers stuck together with its glue, and don't lick it.  We learned AFTER playing with it that it may cause rashes and vomiting.  (We're all okay, except I can't get the green off my nails)

I have 6.0.  No leaves.

I tried to convert to Firefox, but I couldn't figure out how to have a favorites icon at the top and I can't live without a favorites button, so I went back to IE.  I'm a huge hypocrite, because when my sister's computer got some virus and couldn't open IE properly, I fixed it, downloaded Firefox, and forced her to use it.  :D

:-X...yeah it really did nothing for me. It wasn't a big bottle and it was half empty anyways, so I just drank a bit of it, after it took me like 10 minutes to get the thing open. I should've just given up.

So here's the reader's digest version:
I use the spelling "cheque", which is technically the correct one to use since Canadian English follows British spellings in most cases.

I refuse to take a picture out my front window because Sloppy Joe lives across the street. Next to him is the other sloppy neighbor. Needless to say I keep my front draperies closed.

Yeah, his name is Joe and he's really sloppy. I could call him Sloppy Joe to his face, and he would just smirk back, because he knows how sloppy he is.
On the other side of me lives @$$h0l3.
So, see, Sloppy Joe isn't the worst moniker one of my neighbors could have.  :D

The Leader of the Band is one of his most popular songs.

You know .....
"Leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
Im just a living legacy

Okay, today my sister's boyfriend brought over Rockband, which is even more hysterical because drumming and singing are involved.  I'm not bad at guitar/bass, I suck at drums, and refused to even try singing.  It's a good thing these games don't 'live' at my house, because they're incredible time wasters.  :D

My kids got a Wii this year. We've all been playing the bowling, tennis and boxing. It's a freakin' riot. The boxing is an excellent cardio workout. I played one round to teach my son how to do it and I was out of breath.

Anyone else have one of these?

I got the Flip digital video recorder. This is a fun little recorder. It's about the size of a larger cell phone. And you just push the red button and it's records. Then you plug it into your computer and it immediately uploads. What fun! And no tapes!

My sister got a Wii from her boyfriend for Christmas.  I've only played two games of bowling and now I'm playing Super Paper Mario.  My uncle boxing was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

My 'big' gift this year was a new 80 GB iPod, which was a huge surprise because my parents don't buy me electronics without consulting me.  I've had my old iPod for 5 years, it has a black and white screen, the battery life is short, it only has 10 GB and it's getting a little senile, but I love it and it's going to be hard to switch over.  :-/

When my dad went to buy my iPod, he told the salesman that he was pretty sure he wanted to buy the 'Classic' iPod, but that he might be interested in the (more expensive) Touch iPod and that the salesman should try to sell him on it.  The salesman basically said he couldn't sell him on it because the Touch iPod isn't worth it yet.  The memory is too small and it's first generation, so the bugs aren't worked out yet.  (He also asked why Best Buy doesn't display the Touch iPod in the stores because I was complaining about not being able to see one, and he learned that they instantly get stolen when they're put on display.  :D)

I got to play with my sister's boyfriend's iPhone on Sunday and it was pretty cool.  He said he likes it now, but he goes through 3-4 phones a year, so who knows what he'll think in a couple months.  ::)

I get that the memory is way small for the price. The hubby and I don't really listen to headphones at all. I have a Shuffle I never use. We would get the touch for the browser capabilities. And, to be able to watch movies on trips and what not. The screen is bigger so that appeals too. I am tempted to wait and see what the 2nd generation Touch has but who knows when that will come out.

First I wouldn't have expected to see him at an event for Jay Z .... that was surprising. �But Getty stated her as his wife. Hmmm....if they pulled that off under the radar ... good for them. Is that what you were referring to?

No, I just thought it was kind of funny to see a picture of just Mike at a big event without the rest of the band.  Bonus points for it being at the opening of Jay-Z's club.  (Please take this moment to imagine Mike 'getting down' to rap music.)

I think the wife comment is just a typo, like John's neice was his daughter at the Treasure Planet premiere.  But if I'm wrong, congrats!  Either way, she looks pretty and Mike continues to age very nicely.  :D

What?!  I guess I worded it wrong.  I've been looking at the guy for 10 years and he just gets nicer looking to me.  It's not conditional on age, like "Well, he looks pretty good for 40".  He looks good regardless of age.

Assuming they tour, a friend and I are going to go to a show, regardless of cost or location.  But I found out that she likes Jordan the best and I like Jordan the best and we can't both like Jordan the best, right?  So I really need to know if Joey is as dreamy is Jordan.


They've been 150 pages.  I vote to make this one 100, since everyone stops posting when they take a long time to load.

I'd have to say Jordan is/was the dreamiest.

Did I ever tell you I met them once at a CD signing just before they made it big? I got all their autographs. I saw them open for Tiffany once....lol All this happened before the BSB madness. Ah the memories.....

Ha ha ha... I think you've told me, but it's always nice to be reminded of that story.  :D

I was only 8 or 9 at the height of their popularity, so I was a little too young to really get in to it.  But my sister had the casettes and I had a t shirt, the fan book, and a huge stack of their collector card things.  And then I would sit at my babysitter's house with my sisters and her daughter and we'd all talk about our favorite member (no one ever cared about Danny).

On a non-football note...

Is anyone watching "In Treatment" on HBO with Gabriel Byrne? Why do I think he is from a 60s-70s rock band? I know he reminds me of the Davies brothers in The Kinks, even though he's Irish and The Kinks are British.

But can anyone help me out? Was Byrnes ever just a singer in a rock and roll band (I know, not in The Moody Blues)? I did some searches, but since I suck at Internet searches I couldn't find anything.

PS I think I'm showing my age here.  :P

The ice wasn't too bad, aside from the artwork happening on the front of my car.  The roads got really icy last night though and some major roads were closed down and there were accidents everywhere.  It's just part of the charm of living in WNY, I guess. :D

Cause I know you�d cheat and be proud
You�re the boldest of brethren that I�d ever meet
And I won�t go, so scold me right now
And all that you waste in this cabin
Is all here breathing good-byes
Cause bluer the better, time sputters
I just can�t wait to bite through your eyes

And I don�t your punter so near me
Cause I don�t think special teams comprehends
When every score�s made to be out-done
I just want offense to know where I stand

And you don�t light the trees that aren�t burning
For a golden, obtuse spiral flight
So when every kick fields like a memory
Yeah, you wheeze just to curtail my drive

And I don�t want your center so near me
Cause I don�t think he�d sit still to five
When every score�s made to be out-run
All my field goals will sail far too right.

I have terrible luck seeing penguins.  I was horrified when I learned there are no penguins at the Toronto zoo and when I saw them at the Biodome in Montreal, it was "nighttime' and so dark you couldn't see them. :-/

Is that for real?

Title: Re: Name Change Thread: Now in 3D!
Post by nmf016 on Mar 8th, 2008, 5:15pm
I think it was the original back cover on ABNG.  I found it on a site that hosts pictures of album covers, backs, discs, etc labeled as the back cover of ABNG.  I remember an interview where they talked about the "guy with the tattoo on his gut" in their artwork, but I never considered that maybe they changed their artwork after the original pressing.  The original pressing also doesn't thank Mike, so we know at least the liner notes changed sometime between pressings.

I posted this here and on AG hoping someone might have an original pressing to confirm this is real.  Someone on AG said his promo ABNG poster has this image on it, so we know it's somehow related to ABNG.

I laughed when you said you would have thrown it out.  The cover of Fuel's Sunburn freaks me out and I had to flip the booklet.  There's another cd I wanted to buy that had a cover that bothered me so much that I never bought it...

I don't know under what circumstances you are apart from your copy (you're at work, you're away long term, the cd is buried in a time capsule...) but when you have the chance to check, could you please tell me where in the cd artwork this is?  I'm very curious.

Hi Mike!  I was wondering where you've been.  I figured you had been attacked by pirates.

No good cold cures from me.  The one that seems to work best for me is when I start to feel sick, I just ignore it and it goes away... that doesn't seem to work for anyone else.  Feel better!  :D

Cd tray, I suppose?  My copy just has a solid black plastic tray.  I even just pried open the two pieces to see if the artwork was back there (it's not).  You must have an original pressing.  It looks like your cd is green and pink as well and mine is silver and pink.

Of course, now this raises the question of why someone took this picture and added the track listing.  I can't say it's the prettiest picture someone could have used from the ABNG artwork.    :D

Nope, no pirates, but it feels like I'm living in an igloo cause there's so much snow outside.  Seriously though, just been busy with school and friends. :)

I wish that cure worked on me, but I think it would only make it worse for me.  Hopefully I'm back to my usual self in a week or two ...

Last night I googled high and low for a bent, mangled, or broken trophy, and that maggot trophy was the only one of interest I found anywhere, but I couldn't figure out a way to make it applicable here.
To log on and see it here this morning made me laugh. It's so appropriate, as if it's an homage to the original name of the Goos or something.
I like it. A negative trophy.   :thumbsup:

Gotta be honest.  I didn't even think about the Goo homage until well after it was made.  I just liked that there was a trophy with a maggot (though it's not really a maggot).

In other news, I was pleased to discover this sign outside of a new medical building in my town today.  Yes, I'm immature, but if that's your last name, you DO NOT include a middle initial if it is the letter A or S.

I'll post some pictures once I'm not feeling so jet lagged. We just got in today around 3pm after leaving on a red eye flight at 10pm Maui time last night. My head is a little fuzzy right now. But I got some great pictures I promise I'll post. I will say this .... I'd move there in a minute if I could convince my husband it would be worth selling all our worldly possessions to go ;) Apparently it costs too much to have your things shipped over seas.

I'm sorry I didn't post I was leaving.....I usually do. I just had sooooo much to do before we left and instructions to leave for my mom about the kids' routine and what not that I forgot to post I was leaving.

I have been working quite hard and learning a lot. I have to get up every morning at 5:30 and do barn chores. I work nonstop until about 1. I do a lot of tacking and untacking horse and turn out. I usually have afternoons off until which I normally spend sleeping or I go for a run. Then it is the pm feeding and chores from 5-6 and the night check around 9. The first week or so was really tough but it's better now I am gaining upper body strength which makes lifting water buckets and muck buckets much easier. I have gotten some awesome opportunities to ride some very talented and well trained horses. The weather has been really nice upper 60's during the day and 50's at night. Tomorrow it is suppose to get near 90F! :o

You can change your username by going to your profile and typing in a different name.  About a year and a half ago Shade changed his name to his real name, Drew and started a thread alerting us of his name change.  It set off a chain reaction and a bunch of us all changed our names multiple times.  Sometimes it gets a little confusing, but it's funny (to some of us).  If you ever get confused about who is who, you can click on their profile to see who each person really is. :D

I know we beat this one to death, but I happened on this today and thought it was interesting.

They also have pre-sales, but I don't know any of the details for that. I guess the price seemed expensive when it started, but now it's pretty darn cheap.

Sorry about your neck.  I understand that you couldn't turn your giant monitor upside down.  :D  We haven't heard back from DWG either, so I hope she didn't have a serious injury trying to stand on her head.


Shannon, I'm liking the new background and banner.  I was slightly confused though, because I'm not on my regular computer and I was like "WOW, WOG looks different on this computer!" (I never claimed to be smart)

Glad you like it. I'm trying to use up the rest of the banners before the new contest this June. I like to find new backgrounds just to keep it interesting and fresh around here.

I keep toying with the idea of a whole new color scheme but I really like the soft green. If anyone has any color scheme ideas let me know.

I tried reading your upside down sentences but I got about halfway through a sentence and then my eyes just hurt. Clever April Fools idea though.

I logged on, and all I wanted to do was post the simple "dead" smilie, but several of the smilies on my home PC are mixed up, and the thread for some reason wouldn't let me just post a smilie. I guess it was saying I had to say something in upside-down language, and yo no hablo en upside-down. So I just logged off. I was highly impressed at Denise's abilities to learn upside-down so quickly, and for having the props to write in cursive backwards.  :thumbsup:

Or WOG hates you.  Like, WOG won't send me PM notifications to the yahoo email address I want it to, but it will send them to a different yahoo email address if I change it for experimental purposes.  WOG chooses to hate you by taking away your smiley freedom.

Yeah, I get the slow thing sometimes too. I figured it's because I'm always on this thread though.
And I also missed a PM that didn't go to my e-mail last week; usually they always go where they're supposed to. This one went into the black hole of nowhere.    :dead:


(just testing that "dead" smiley. My icons are still all goofed up. But I know it's my PC, because it does the same thing on all the forums I visit. Now... will someone let me know what smiley that is that I just posted? Because although I chose the "dead" smiley, what I am seeing is the "shh" smiley. Who the hell needs a "shh" smiley? Shhesh.)

Yes. I see the dead smiley too DWG. Funny .... I always thought that was the sick smiley.

I did email MFC to see if she knows anything or has any maintenance suggestions for me. I may have to go back and start deleting old, old threads again.

Okay... I have to ask because I think I'm going crazy.  There are much more defined borders around posts and in the headers.  This is because:
A.  Shannon changed them
B.  WOG is demonstrating its hatred of us by changing itself
C.  It's always been like this and I am, in fact, going crazy.



Oh, and random thought: On MySpace today, Robby posted a picture showing that he grocery shops at Tops.  There's much hostility between Tops and Wegmans shoppers and I'm pleased to have Robby on my side.  :D

Title: Re: Name Change Thread: Now in 3D!
Post by Shannon on Apr 4th, 2008, 3:58pm
I did change them. I've been using Firefox more lately and noticed the borders were missing.

They've always actually been there unless you use Firefox. I could see them in IE and Safari but not in Firefox. I had to fix the CSS code to get it to work. It took me all evening last night to finally figure out why the borders wouldn't display. I thought it had something to do with the HTML so I kept looking for my answer in the wrong place. I was on a mission to figure it out last night. I hated how flat it looked without the borders.

On my computer they look inverted, but I like it!! I use Firefox all the time, I haven't used Safari in who knows how long and IE doesn't even update for Macs anymore....well, at least I think so I haven't used IE in about 4 years.

2 Tell Me
3 Hammerin' Eggs
4 Dizzy (live)
5 Wait For the Blackout

10 Only One
11 Know My Name

21 So Far Away
22 Just the Way You Are

This is a public opinion poll. Feel free to cast your vote.

My neighbor has started to do chores outside now that the weather is getting warmer. She brings her "boombox" out with her and blares her favorite music, which...unfortunately for me...consists of Celine Dion and other such poopance, like, I dunno..Michael Buble or some such thing. Anyway, she directs the speakers right toward my house and plays this music so loud I can hear it inside the house with all the windows closed. Gag me.

Should I:

a) Wait until she goes inside for a beverage, and run across the street with a garden implement and take a whack at the boombox?

b) Send an anonymous letter to her house suggesting that  perhaps she should not assume that everyone wants to hear her musical "selections"?

c) Retaliate with some of my musical selections, played at a volume of 10. I've got bagpipes, lady, and I ain't afraid to use 'em.  

d) Be a mensch and just go over there and ask her politely to please turn it down. This would be my usual MO, but it's so...boring.

Title: Re: Name Change Thread: Now in 3D!
Post by nmf016 on Apr 16th, 2008, 12:41am
A gives the best mental image.  D would probably resolve the issue the best.  I guess you could go over, with said tool, ask politely, and if she gives you any lip, smash the boombox right in front of her.  Or smash her.  It all depends on what sort of charges you're willing to have placed against you.

In semi-related news, two weekends ago, it was beautiful out and I had my window open, which faces out to the street.  The rednecks (we refer to two sets of neighbors by their last names, then there's the rednecks, the vampires, and the penguin and his wife) across the street were playing music outside ALL DAY LONG.  I couldn't make out what it was, but I could hear it from the time I got up to until after it was dark.  I was just about to go bitch about it to my dad when I realized the music was coming from the iPod and headphones sitting on a table in my room... I'm such an ass.

What, you live next door to Robby? lol, okay, nevermind. It's basically an inside joke with myself - my sister thinks that Rob looks like a penguin.

DWG, I'd go for what nmf said, except that if your neighbour for some reason escapes the fury of you + garden implement, which is likely, you should blast her way into next year with bagpipes.

I guess it's a vote for three of the opinions.

If you mean the AG members .... it's pretty mixed. Some are very disappointed while others are mildly disappointed but happy to have everything in one place ... especially the videos. And, others are happy to have anything Goo.

I don't believe AG has commented. The staff there are allowing everyone to express their opinions but are discouraging bashing the band and calling them liars. That's about it for the summary. ;D

I think Saz brought that game up back when it was in development.  I actually stumbled upon it a few weeks ago and played the game WOG (the game) was modeled after.  I discovered I would be a terrible architect of little black glob towers.

No.  They're just realized that 6/17 was in the first half of the year and that they need to push it back to make the following statement even more false.

A second collection of rarities, B-sides, remixes, a complete live concert DVD and lots more will be assembled into a deluxe package and planned for release early in 2008.


Whatever.  I don't even care.  I'm not excited about this release anyways.

Sorry I haven't been around to update and post much. It was an interesting weekend with my son making his First Communion and all of our family being here to celebrate and my poor daughter sick as a dog with the stomach flu. Phew.....glad it's over but now I'm just waiting.... like a sitting duck....to get the flu. :-X :sick:

Post by nmf016 on Apr 29th, 2008, 12:59am
I'm on the fence about that.  On one hand, providing the acoustic version and calling it a demo seems on par with the rest of the album.  On the other hand, something official looking related to the City of Angels soundtrack was sold on eBay a few months ago that said it had an Iris demo among some other tracks and artists talking about their tracks.  Keep in mind that that 'demo' might have also been the acoustic version, as I didn't hear it.  (It will be hilarious if they call the acoustic a demo though, seeing as the acoustic was actually recorded as a direct result of the final studio version...)

I also suspect the American Girl (live) will be the Concert for NY version (already released) and All Eyes On Me (live) will be from Red Rocks.


And Shannon, I hope everything calms down and you manage to escape the sickness.  :-/

Good luck! My husband was sick for 2 weeks with some kind of flu thing. I didn't get sick - and I think I'm out of the woods b/c he's not sick anymore. I escaped the cooties by drinking lots of water, washing my hands constantly all day, touching my face (especially eyes and mouth) as little as possible, and sleeping on the couch the whole time he was sick.

What's really ridiculous about the gas prices is how variable they are from town to town. Today I took a drive, about 40 miles. At one end, in Stratford, CT,  I saw prices varying from $3.77 up to about $3.89 for regular. In Port Chester, NY there was a Mobil station selling regular at $3.99.
I think they charge whatever strikes their fancy.

Anybody like Nine Inch Nails? If you do, they/he (I mean it's really Trent R. isn't it?) is giving away the new album for FREE. The entire album totally free. go to nin.com if you're interested.

Reznor has been very generous recently with his/nin music. He's very bitter about the way the industry has been going, and his fans have been benefiting from it. It's going to be interesting to see what happens to the industry over the next few years.

Isn't it great? I think the artists are saying FU to the record companies. I think they're saying they'd rather give it away for free to fans, than let the companies make $$ off of them.

Were you able to get ColdPlay's new single for free? That was available for one day only last week. I tried and tried, but I never received the email back from them.

Hmmm, I missed the Radiohead offer. Do you know if that's still available? From where? * goes off to check the radiohead website *

I didn't get the Coldplay song.  I didn't like the song when I heard it, so I didn't download it... and now I've had it stuck in my head for like 3 days...

Radiohead's In Rainbows isn't available for free (or pay what you want) anymore.  I was happy to get it though... I love a whole bunch of their older songs, but I hated their more recent stuff (though I'm not familiar with a lot of it), and I actually enjoy some of In Rainbows.

Oh!  Oh!  I just remembered I have an on-topic gif for this.

Random comment because I don't feel like starting a new topic:

There are currently FIVE First Releases on eBay if you're still looking to buy it.  At least one is PayPal only, which tends to make it sell for less (I got mine through a PayPal only auction in February for $22.05  :D )  No promises the currently reasonable prices won't skyrocket, but with so many available right now, you might get yourself a good deal.

No concrete news on the new album other than the fact that they're nowhere near done with it.  No info on the song either.  The extreme pessimist in me suspects the 'new' song won't actually be new.

So, this big free summer concert series that used to be held somewhere else is being moved to the (small) city I live in this year.  It's basically going to be a huge trainwreck because it's being held in a very small parking lot and it is estimated that many many thousands of people will come.  Plus the cops will be ticketing everything and anything and there is a not so nice area of the city pretty close by.  I'm pretty excited because I'm going to have someone drop me off for one of the concerts so that I can watch the madness happen.

Anyways... they announced the concert line up this past week and I ran across this while reading the paper (from yesterday) today.

"Also known to be booked as an opening act for REO Speedwagon is the band Tres Bien, which played on the FOX TV reality show �The Next Great American Band.� The band finished in sixth place on the show. Lead guitarist Michael Crowe, who has family in Lockport, said the band is really looking forward to playing an outdoor show.

�Anytime you play outdoors it is a big deal,� he said. �It will be a big audience and great exposure.�

Crowe said the band really hasn�t played a show this big, except for one in Detroit, and of course the TV show.

�It was a lot of fun and a great experience. We learned a lot,� Crowe said. �Not many people have the chance to be on national TV for eight weeks straight.�"

I just thought it was kind of funny to come across Tres Bien/NGAB without looking.  Seeing as it's close to Buffalo, I'm pretty surprised there was no mention of John/GGD.

Heh.  Buffalo finally has street view.  I'm a little sad it missed my 'neck of the woods' by about 3 miles, but it covers most of the Goo interest points.

Saving fav. song sounds like a good idea.

How about fav. duet? Not too many options, though. Or fav. performance from LiB?

Post by nmf016 on Jun 13th, 2008, 12:52pm
I was going to suggest favorite live song, but that might actually require a lot of work since not everyone has heard a wide array of songs live...

Favorite album or favorite song off an album would be cool.  It might make more sense to do that elimination style rather than one on one competition though.

Title: Re: Name Change Thread: Now in 3D!
Post by nmf016 on Jun 13th, 2008, 3:43pm
No, I meant do it as "here's the list of all of the songs on said album, pick which one you want to kick off".  But I really have no idea of the best way to do it... You're the competition master.

We should wait til the next album for another Favorite Song, we've done Fav. Cover and Fav. Robby Song in the past...We were gonna hold off on the next Fav. Line one too. Anyone have any ideas? Fav. b-side? Fav. Album? Fav. Song off certain album? Maybe we should do a smaller tournament since not too many people have been dropping by...save the big ones for the flood that will come with the next album.

While American Idol winner and STAR Artist David Cook is on the road with the American Idols Live tour, he'll also be writing and recording his debut CD, and he's just gotten a nice offer of a collaboration from another STAR Artist. Last night in New York City, Goo Goo Dolls frontman Johnny Rzeznik told us that he's really hoping to collaborate with David on some songs. So why does the guy who wrote "Iris" want to write songs with the winner of a TV reality show? Johnny said, "'Cause he's real, he plays the guitar, he's got a cool voice, he seems like a regular guy, so...why not?"

I was just at MSG last week for REM. I was one of the hardy souls up in the 3rd tier standing. The guy behind me wasn't happy, but the people in front of me were standing, so oh well.

It's still a cool place to go for shows b/c of the history. And I think almost every band that plays there thinks "Damn, I'm playing in f*@king Madison Square Gardens."

The only drag was that the big screens weren't on, and they would helped considering where my seats were.

My summer has been kind of lame.  Last summer we made a giant list of things we wanted to do and we were about 95% successful, even though we included some pretty big things.  This year, with the rising costs of everything and the social circle changing and more work, it just hasn't been that exciting.

We always say we're going to stop there, but then by the time we get there we're so anxious to finish driving we pass it by.

Supplementary viewing for "WTF John?":

My summer has been kind of lame.  Last summer we made a giant list of things we wanted to do and we were about 95% successful, even though we included some pretty big things.  This year, with the rising costs of everything and the social circle changing and more work, it just hasn't been that exciting.


I love that thing! It was really amazing and hilarious and pretty at the same time. WTF?John is probably the best John out there.

GHV1...I can't hear any differences. Were the tracks remastered? Is FtS the only one? (Even though I can't hear any differences on it)

And do we know if GHV2 will be remastered? I assume at least some must be...We'll Be Here and really old ones like Torn Apart.


EOAC was remastered AND remixed.  For the more current tracks, you can hear the difference because of the remixing.

GHV1 was not remastered.  FTS was apparently remixed, but, like you, I don't hear it.

There has been nothing said about GHV2 being remastered.  The older tracks probably will be remastered though, because the volume difference between old and new would be too drastic.  We'll Be Here is supposedly going to be remixed.

I think the difference in Feel the Silence is pretty big. I much prefer the GH's version- seems like there's different layers in the recording- the voice is separate to the guitars- unlike on LLI where it just seems like one slurred track. Hard to explain, just more depth to it, and a bigger kick.

Oh ok. Thanks for the explanation! So is remastering basically upping the volume (I know there's more to it but that's all the listener gets out of it)?


No, remastering may take out hisses and pops or change equalizations as well so that each instrument can be heard more clearly.  It's just that the older tracks will be forced to be remastered at least in respect to volume because there's a significant difference in volume between the newer stuff and older.


And I just don't hear anything between the two versions of FTS.  It could be that I've ripped them to evil mp3s or my crappy headphones or that I have really terrible hearing.  :D

I read about the album today and the ****cat Dolls are collaborating on a song.  Does a song really need 5 male singers and 5-6 female singers* when NONE of them are playing any instruments?  Seriously, 11 singers on a track?!

But OMG, I can't wait for the concert.  I need to get to work on the mix tape for the drive there and back...

Cool find Nicole!

The Iris music video is a 2008 edit? I wonder what's different about it...

Oh my gosh the Iris demo is actually something new!!!

And you can actually hear a difference in the We'll Be Here remix!!!

Things are looking up...this collection isn't quite as half-assed as predicted. And All Eyes On Me live sounds solid, so there's at least 3 worthwhile additions for most. I'll reserve judgment on if I like Iris and We'll Be Here until I hear the full songs.

And it seems as if the older songs are remastered. Which means, of course, that we can go back to the eternal debate of what is being said in No Way Out.


I'd place money on the Iris video being edited without any COA footage, like the iTunes version.  If you look on Youtube, you'll probably find it.

I was shocked to discover the Iris demo was actually legit.  Looking forward to hearing the whole thing.

There are 'official' lyrics to No Way Out on the official site and they seem to agree with the song pretty well.

But damn, seeing all of those (Album Version)s makes me want to beat my head against a wall.

Wow ... that's blue. I do like the color though.

The one thing I HATE about that site is how the music automatically turns on. I hate any website that does that. It's startling and I just don't like it. I took a web design class and that was a huge design no no. I don't have a problem with the player on there and the option to listen to music. I just think it should be a choice if you want to listen to it when you go to a page and not be forced...rather startlingly I might add... to listen to it. I have to mute the sound before I go to that site now. I just don't like how Stay With You starts blaring! Phew....I'm done with my rant now ;)

That drives me crazy too, especially since I usually have multiple windows open. If more than one site that I'm one does that, then they play at the same time. And what's worse is when you can't turn the sound off except by turning all the sound off on your PC.

Yeah, I don't like that either. You can mute only the web-page, though, but that depends on what kind of Windows you have, I think. I've got Vista, and I can turn off the sound on just the internet pages or AIM or iTunes.

Today's obscure Goo news:

Paul Westerberg released a 20 minute 'song' yesterday and at about 3:18, he sings a line of "We Are the Normal".  It's not accidental, it is very intentionally covering the Goos' song. (If you write a song for a band and later record part of it youself, are you actually covering it?  Whatever.)


The full story for whoever may be interested in the drama currently surrounding Paul Westerberg:

Paul Westerberg recently decided to release this 'album' online with no notice whatsoever.  It was called 49:00, was 43:55 long, and was sold for $0.49 (unless you were an idiot like me and bought it for $0.89...).  It was this single track with a mash up of songs and got pretty weird and schizophrenic in places.  At the end, there was a couple minutes of him covering snippets of old 60/70s songs.  The album was pretty loved by everyone who heard it, but it was taken off of Amazon/Tunecore only a week or so after being released.  The assumed reason for its sudden disappearance was that one of the writers of one of the covered songs sued him to remove it.

A couple days later, a new song appeared on Tunecore with no announcement at all called 5:05, which seems to be Paul's direct response to whatever happened with 49:00.  It was kind of a 'fuck you' song.

Then, yesterday, because Paul Westerberg apparently is bored and wants to see what kind of legal trouble he can get himself in, another set of 'songs' appeared for download.  One of them is called '3oclockreep' and is filled with old Replacements' recordings of covers, Tom Waits cameos, and snippets of songs including We Are the Normal.  Now we wait and see if this download is removed.

I love Paul Westerberg, so I know this useless information..

No, I was an idiot.  It was originally available only on Amazon and I clicked to buy the track.  If you bought the track, it was $0.89.  If you bought the album, it was $0.49.  Shortly after I bought it, it was fixed.  I felt it would be ridiculous to demand my extra $0.40 back.  :D

I take no responsibility if you hate it.  It's really weird.  Songs overlapping, talking, songs stopping in the middle.  If you like the recent albums from the basement, you can probably sort of tolerate it.  I love 49:00, but this new one is a hundred times crazier and I don't think I will be listening to it too much.  :D

But you have the second most awesome birthday ever.  You share it with Paul Westerberg, Joey McIntyre (NKOTB!) and my best friend.  The most awesome birthday is the day before yours.  :D

...although today I was in the store and saw one of those kooky calculators that are ginormous with the bigass numbers and thought, wow...who the heck would want to use one of those? Someone who can't read the really small numbers on a normal calculator, silly!

I have 4 Goo songs on my iTunes and Real is not one of them so I can't play. :D I actually do like Real, I just don't generally listen to music on my computers.



Hi, Nicole!  Nice to see you here again.  Hope school is going well.

Ooh, poll! I love polls.

Real - 35
and Real - 35, lol.

It's my most played song too. It's only the clip from ggd.com though, I don't want to buy the song before the new CD comes out.

But let's say that aside of Real, my most played songs are Big Machine/Out of the Red with both 24 plays.

I braved the elements (and the terrifying Scajaquada Expressway) today and went to MIA.  It was the first one I have properly attended, since I have been away, busy, or exhausted for nearly all of the previous ones.

The set up was really cool.  I'm sure most people aren't completely familiar with the Albright Knox, but the back section has a big stairway and then lawn all around.  They had two stages on either side of the stairway and then another stage at the bottom of the stairs, and ideally, the bands and dancers would rotate on each stage.  Off to the sides, they had artists displaying their work and food vendors.  On the side of the building, there was a dj section.  Buffalo State College is right across the street, so there was lots of parking nearby.  It all seemed to fit really nicely and I hope the wet lawn wasn't trampled so badly that the Albright Knox people don't invite MIA back next year.  :D

I had intended to get there in time for Robby's performance with some Sabres and belly dancers.  Unfortunately, even though I arrived about five minutes prior to their scheduled start, I missed it... I did see Inlite, the winners of the battle of the bands, and Terry Sullivan, who has released an album on Robby's label.  Then, since it was drizzling and I had some time before the next act I wanted to see, I decided to leave for a bit (and come back with an umbrella).  I arrived about 20 minutes before Klear was scheduled, only to find out I missed them as well...  Apparently, MIA is the only event since the beginning of time to run ahead of schedule.

I didn't end up staying for Amungus and some others I was interested in because it started really pouring and I was really confused about scheduling.  In other words, I completely failed at seeing every performance I wanted to see.  :D

I DID see Robby running around like a maniac though.  I initially walked through the whole thing to see if I saw him around and I didn't.  But the moment I stopped looking for him, he was everywhere.  Every time Robby does something really good for the WNY community, I am just so proud of him and so grateful we have such an amazing guy representing us and it was cool to see it in person today.  I know he's not, like, so famous that is is stalked by paparazzi or anything, but when I think of a 'rock star' or famous musician, I don't think of someone very down to earth and interested in dealing with 'commoners'.  But I would see Robby heading off for somewhere and someone would motion to him and he'd happily go over to chat or take pictures, even if it was out of the way (I didn't chase him down.  Face to face, I wouldn't even know what to say.  I would simultaneously have nothing and everything to say to him).  While I was watching a performance, he went and sat in the roped off area and watched and when the newswoman filming next to me waved her hand to get his attention, he waved right back and seemed so happy to be there.

And here is my attempt at stalking Robby.  I wasn't going to take a picture while he was standing, like, 3 feet away from me because that's too weird for me, so after I took a picture of Terry Sullivan, I very smoothly shifted a little to the left and got one of Robby.  :D

For the poll, I've listened to Real 6 times (I was only able to buy it a few weeks ago in Canada).  And the most listened song is Black Balloon with a play count of 46.

That's cool you managed to get to MIA. I thought the way they had it set up looked really cool. If I lived closer to Buffalo I would definitely try to go too. Art and music .... sounds fun to me.

So where has everyone been? What's keeping you all occupied lately? I'll tell you where I've been....I've got a new kitten which is like having a toddler around. I've had to watch her carefully around my other two adult cats. It's been interesting and fun and very time consuming. ;)

Hello potentially old news, but what does everyone think of this Iris cover version by New Found Glory (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNskW2M2Xu4)? Personally, I think his voice is too flat to do the original justice. Interesting with the up-beat kind of tone, though.

Does she have more than one song? LOL all I hear is "I Kissed a Girl".

I think I saw that performance - if it was the one where she jumped on the cake and wound up covered in frosting, when she finished. If that was it, I didn't notice Korel.

Yes, new puppy.  Her name is Sophie (named for a Golden Girl, NOT after John's cat) and she is mostly yellow lab.  We got her at 6 weeks and she will be 11 weeks old tomorrow.

We had all of our family here for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was lovely. Now we're just trying to put the house back together again.

Yeah my Christmas was nice with family and such.  I'm a bit sad it's over now, but you know, it's only another 360+ days until it happens again. :P

360+ days is good for me. I'm exhausted. I started cooking and baking last Saturday and did that for 3 days and then had to clean the house for all the guests. That's A LOT of work. I did absolutely nothing yesterday. I didn't even get dressed. The house is still chaotic with everyone's gifts lying around but I just didn't care yesterday. I was exhausted.

My Christmas was pretty low-key. Not a lot of gifting, just a little.
I can't wait to take down the Christmas tree because it takes up all the space in my living room and when I unplug the lights, it makes the electrical outlet spark. That makes me paranoid. But I know the tree will remain standing until New Year's, like always.
Today we went through the house looking for stuff we don't need, to donate to the Goodwill. Limited amount of space, unlimited amount of junk.  ::)  
I can't believe all the weird collections of stuff I have packed away: Star Trek, Star Wars, Bon Jovi, Goo. I oughtta have a tag sale.

So what is everyone's New Years plans? We're headed to some friends who do a huge New Year's party every year. The nice thing is that it's friends from the kids' school so kids are invited. It's so hard to find a sitter on NYE.

Oh and my holidays were great thanks, low key as well. I worked on Christmas Day, yes three of the Starbucks' in Windsor were open on a volunteer basis. It was really busy. I went to my grandparents after to celebrate Christmas with them.

New Years was a spectacle. Shannon you would be proud, after we toasted to New Years at a house party I knew nobody at, the friend I had gone with, I went out with his friend to 'Tim Hortons' and spend several hours talking....at Tim Hortons...just clarifying that with everyone.

story of the day: there was a dead sheep hanging from a tree in front of my dorm wing today. A group of people were sitting around the sheep sharpening knives. They skinned the sheep right on the grass area where I had been enjoying lunch earlier today. I retreated into my room and closed the curtains so I did not have to witness the sheep skinning.
This was after I had to disect sheep eyeballs in my physics class this morning. I think I am going to nightmares about sheep now.  :o

It's a class called the Science of Vision that combines the history, physics, biology and a little psychology of optics. It's offered through the physics department so I always referred to it as a physics class, but it's really not.

Sooooooo guys, when are we starting NAME CHANGE PART 4: THE RECKONING? Seriously, this place is depressingly dead, and I know it's not just because of my bad jokes...

Unfortunately, that's Drew's job and he won't do it.

It is depressingly dead. It makes me sad  :'( every time I come here and there hasn't been a new post in days. No one but Lauren submitted a banner for the contest either. Waaaahhhh  :'(

We definitely need a new name change thread.

(Hey, be glad I didn't post a pic of Ronald McDonald.)

(if I had mad photoshop skillz, I'd have inserted Goo Goo Dolls faces onto this picture and submitted it in the banner contest. Thank God I don't have any such skills.)

You really should know by now that I ONLY work in MS Paint.

Also, it was a little creepy decapitating the band members to harvest their heads.  And I saved copies of their floating heads in case I need them for some unknown reason in the future.

Haha...I knew someone would do that.
Somehow, the Goos make that shot look a bit moody.
The John head fits nicely though.
Ni hao!
