Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread

So really long time since I've been on here and posted. Glad I went to the NYC show, I was thinking of going to Philly instead since it was on a Friday. This old man doesn't like being out late on work nights. Plus I got to take my daughter which was really amazing. The show as great, I had sworn of...

Re: Are There Any Rock Bands Left????

Sure but they are all now rap groups. :nod: ding ding ding I think your confusing genres with something called "passion" or "feeling". If you wanted a rap thread, then you should have started one. I like rap, but come on. If you ask a "rock" question don't bow out with the first answer you like. Ye...

Re: Record Stores

I use youtube to preview new music, if I like it I buy it. I just miss the whole record store experience. As I said before Amazon or sometimes best buy are my music store. I don't download off iTunes, I like having the actual CD. I still remember the rush of skipping class in college to wait for the...

Record Stores

The world is all fucked up because of the decline in record stores. Idle hands do the devils work. I was having a discussion this past weekend with a buddy of mine about the good old days when record stores existed. I remember a good amount of my teenage years being sent at record stores. While livi...

Re: Something Brewing

Everyone wants to kill Perry for the demise of the mighty JA but let's be honest, Dave and Perkins and Chaney are not actually coming up with ground breaking music either. Perry's lyrics have been straightforward since Good Gods Urge. But it's not as though the band is coming up with Had a Dad riff...

Re: The "Republican" Perspective

No doubt wall street had a hand in the issues and problems, but so did most people. The original claim I asked about was one in which it was claimed that blaming "Wall Street" (which blaming being a generalization itself) was and is total bullshit .

Re: The "Republican" Perspective

No I don't like the consolidation of the banks. What has happened has made the banks that were too big to fail is now they are even bigger. I'd be fine with companies spinning off divisions. Look at Bank odfAmerica, they bought countrywide and were forced into buying Merrill Lynch. There is no doubt...

Hey LJF! I have a question for you.

Most Americans Fail This Simple Financial Quiz

Can this be real? These questions stump most Americans with college degrees. Suppose you had $100 in a savings account and the interest rate was 2% per year. After five years, how much do you think you would have in the account if you left the money to grow? (A) More than $102. (B) Exactly $102. (C)...

Re: "Definitive" Version of Whores?

This is arguably one of Jane's signature songs, yet jane's 1.0 never properly recorded it. It's almost like a Jazz standard in that there are strong melodic themes, but there is a lot of room for interpretation. For example, sometimes bass intro is drawn out, with Stephen adding some tribal drum em...

Re: The Legacy Of Jane's Addiction: A Thread.

Funny I was just in Jamaica and One afternoon I sat down on the beach and listened to the LA Paladium show from 1990. I was thinking about writing in here a thread about reconnecting to JA. Now some of this could be influenced by my kind of having a feeling of reconnecting to some old days, because ...
