Their $2 show is on MTV2 this weekend, just in time to remind me how much I miss the old radiohead before I see them in a couple weeks.  I hope Supergrass are good!

Mankie,
 
 Stay out of our thread.  This is for Lulu and Smackie.
 
 Lulu, did you see The Who video for Substitute with Kelly Jones?  Other than sounding British, he's pretty good.  How come that guy gets to cover songs with all of the Brit greats of the 70's?

VH1 Classic - I wanted to remember what it was like to hear Don Henley sing Boys of Summer.
 
 I'll see if I can't find it on the net (now that you guys have DSL).  Apparently is was included as a video on a Who trubute album that sucked.
 
 Smackette couldn't agree more on him being hot.  She's all creamy about seeing him this weekend.  Ewwww.

The worst.
 
 No luck on the video, but I was pissed to discover that the Virgin Megastore SF got passed up by the Stereophonics for their acoustic tour!
Title: Re: is layne staley still dead?
Post by: poorlulu on September 12, 2003, 05:38:00 pm
i think it's a little odd that stereophonics are in america and  doing instore performances at virgin anyway............
 
 
 instores always smack of sad and desperate to me..........something they are definatly not

artists I have seen do instores:
 
 Lyle Lovett
 Cracker
 Rhett Miller
 Evan Dando
 Keb Mo
 G Love and Special Sauce
 Alejandro Escovedo
 Whiskeytown
 
 None of them were sad or desperate...
 
 Tough sadly nobody showed up but me for Alejandro's set at DCCD, though he sells out Iota.

Lyle Lovett is a god and should be honored as such.

Evan Dando's hair is sad & desperate, that's enough

Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on September 13, 2003, 07:14:00 pm
Lyle Lovett tickets go for anywheres up to 75 bucks, depending on where he is playing. And he typically plays large venues like Wolftrap. Thus, he is not sad and desperate. Neither are those who can afford his show, and neither are those of us who were smart enough to see him at Borders a few years ago.
 
 Like I'm sure you've listened to a lot of his music....hmmm, maybe his music is good for a car ride or two...

Sure. I am sure Pyle Lovless is really talented........
 
 I don't go for fancy cars
 For diamond rings
 Or movie stars
 I go for penguins
 Oh Lord I go for penguins
 
 Throw your money out the door
 We'll just sit around
 And watch it snow
 I go for penguins
 Oh Lord I go for penguins
 
 Penguins are so sensitive

 Penguins are so sensitive

 Those lyrics are sooo deep. I can just imagine you getting your better half to wear a penguin suit and waddle about so you can sing it to her.

My wife in a penguin suit...hmmm, now there's something we haven't tried yet. I'm liking that idea already...well she is very sensitive...

Lyle is brilliant.  That dry nonsense is so enjoyable.  He mixes songs that are fun, crazy, sensitive, important, silly and heartfelt.  And they're all beautifully executed.  A Lyle Lovett concert is truly a thrill.
 
 No sharp objects to the head, just great appreciation for someone at the top of his particular field, even though it's not my normal field.

Smackette sniffed out an Irish market around the corner of our new place in SF.  They serve imported puddings, real bacon and porks, lucozade and of course hob knobs and other choccie goodies.  Bloody things are costing me a fortune.

I have a Scottish pie place around the corner from me that sells stuff like that. Damned British store hours too! Don't know how they can afford to stay in business when most people don't have time to shop until after they close.

At $1.50 to $2.00 for a candy bar, they don't have to sell much to stay in business.

I think I may know the answer to that....in Britain the choccie has to have a certain amount of cocoa in it to be chocolate, whereas in the US as long as it has "some cocoa" in it...it's chocolate. Therefore Brit choc has more cocoa and so more flavour....I'm sure Rhett, GGW or some other smart arse will correct me if I'm wrong, but I did hear that one time.

Yeah, but you have to admit that Reece's Peanut Butter Cups are tasty.   We got the formula right on those.

Of course your wrong mankie,
 
 A lot of British chocolate, (cadburys) has a very low cocoa content, 20% or less. So low infact that the european union were going to make them call it someting other than chocolate, non emulsified fat and sugar with a little bit of cocoa, or something equally ridiculous.
 
 Hersheys is made with sour milk which makes it taste like vomitus. Cadburys form hershey though is OK, just a little different, but then so is the irish stuff. It must be all the hormones they feed the cows in Britain that makes Cadburys so good.
 
 Other American treats are shite because they put peanuts in them.

I like bounty's and they are just coconut covered in chocolate, like mounds, I think.
 
 The only good use for peanuts is to try and see how many you can fit under your foreskin, oh wait.........

Hersheys' cadbury's is still utter utter shite.
 
 Irish stuff is every bit as good as the Brit stuff....Moro's! OH MY GOD! Why did the feck'n Irish keep that one to themselves? BASTARDS! It's been discontinued though and replaced with something called "Boost" which is almost the same so I was able to go on living.
 
 I agree, what's with American chocolate and it's obsession with peanut butter/peanuts?
 I relate yank chocolate with Mexican food...same three ingredients know matter how many different ways you present it.

I really have no preference between the hershey fruit and the one from ireland. Neither of them taste quite righht to me, neither are so bad that I wont eat a big bar in 5 minutes.
 
 What are Moro's you lost me.
 
 I love cadburys biscuit boosts best of all......

 Cannot stand Reese's Pieces and don't like Reese cups at all. But I've never like peanut butter and peanuts are my least favorite nut.
 
 Chocolate covered coconut is divine! Especially if it's covered in dark chocolate.
 
 Chocolate is the best drug out there!
