no, as with anything in the realm of art it just comes down to what you like or don't. I've never been a tried and true blues fan (excepting maybe the ACTUAL blues, ala Willie Dixon himself). e.g. i'll take Pete Townshend over Clapton in everything but that's what i like, i prefer the artsy or moody...

there should probably be a Musical Confessions thread for this, i fear i've hijacked this into the wrong direction. Sorry! we should keep it positive...hm... not sure this made it to the thread yet, but it'd be in my top 10 (taking out the # of times I heard it as an adolescent, which is difficult.....

woo. well i don't know that i'm going to be popular here but aside from his (TO ME!) lame songwriting, emotionless vocals, pedestrian blues licks...i think he grew a mean beard while on smack? so he's got that going for him. which is nice. i don't know, i guess i've always had the feeling that if he...

MaxWebster

great thread...i might back Baker Street for my vote. i like that entire G Rafferty album but in terms of one song to pick, i couldn't pick one from a band that had tons of hits (e.g. Who, Queen, Zep, etc). Baker Street. gets me every time. and dammit i know i'll get crucified and i'm a child of the...

MaxWebster

ok i don't like either of them at all either but if you're going to rip the Dead for not being good musicians you've lost some cred

MaxWebster

no, those are valid points. all speculation of course since counterargument could be made that if he were to bring a title to Buffalo he'd be such a legend they'd name the Falls after him. and he almost would be bulletproof for a few years at least...Buffalo could also probably bring a bit more guar...

i wouldn't actually mind the Lightning at all if Steve Yzerman weren't at the helm. i think i long ago moved past rational dislike for him. you know you're there when a simple screenshot makes you (slightly) angry. (i'll focus on how fun they are to watch. part of my 2015 goal of keeping more positi...

on another note...i don't think Boyle's thought of burying the puck was the wrong idea at all. there are <10 seconds left - trying to push the puck up-ice or around the net can only lead to something bad... see? he should have just "slipped" and fallen on the puck and taken it to OT. the e...

i definitely don't know who mandy moore is

Ryan Adams:

i'm also in the "yeah...i've heard of him but don't know any of his songs" camp.

also didn't even know he was a big deal.

and i (think i) listen to music. hell, i even play it!

or a team in Las Vegas

not sure if i ever posted this back in the day - 12-yr old Genia in Russia .... ... And I was thrilled to see Kuznetsov have a big game. I fell in love with him at the World Juniors several years ago, and I've been waiting for him to have a big NHL moment ever since. As long as the Caps have those t...

cripes. it's Frank Zappa.

as a general rule a center is almost a billion times more likely to "carry" a team than a wing.

math.

you don't trade either of the top 2 this year. just. no.

MaxWebster

ugh. that hurt. much like games 1 and 2. fuckingfuck.

Trav...man....

best game of the playoffs thus far, no question. insane.

MaxWebster

randoms: a) seriously now people - front row tools standing up and slapping hands on the glass at players is embarrassing. let's all move past this. b) did you see Ladd blowing a tire in warmups and absolutely wiping out Pavelec? holy crap that could've been an epic disaster. c) i like this Jets tea...

Port Arthur and Fort William merged about 50 years ago to become Thunder Bay. Home of Paul Shaffer and the Staal brothers.

go with the fun story and don't think too hard about the other stuff. You know you can go down that road with literally any team in any sport. Except next year's Sabres of course. They'll be perfect. I don't know how to deal with Winnipeg. On one hand, its a really fun story and I love Ladd and some...

MaxWebster

no cons listed on the Buffalo entry.

i just love you bapo!

also i can't comment any more on this topic because i've only been thinking about it for nearly 3 years. good lord Saturday can't come and go quickly enough.

MaxWebster

and to me this day is the best - first round is unparalleled.

everyone and their grandmother walking around in Canucks green and blue today; even saw an old school Bure (shit...i just realized i referred to 1993/4 as old school. ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu......)

MaxWebster

i shudder to think about the google search results you endured finding that image

bolded part below is the reason that for the first time in their post-Laurie Boschmann existence i actually don't hate the franchise. in fact, they're damn fun to watch. i think they should be favoured in this one (slightly, as in all series this year). (my dream finals would be Winnipeg v Ottawa.) ...

ha i'm such an ass, i totally reversed the odds. :) brilliant, am i . regardless - i'm game for any length - week or 2? :) (this lottery is so weird. i probably wouldn't even mind if the Sharks got him, but holyhell there are more than a few teams i'd be horrified by winning...) sancarlos! your avat...

i also took 2 sens and no pens also i keep thinking you are trav, it's confusing. keep it up, please. this is impossible. honestly i could see a fair case made for...all 16? teams to win. or lose in the first round. there are no upsets. Yeah, I thought it was risky to pick a couple of Senators, but ...

if you've got time and coffee...this is pretty crazy analysis:

hilarious. ....Look for me in the stands in Game 4, i'll be wearing white. I'm rooting for the 20% on Saturday night. aside from that I am absolutely all about the Jets as well - they've been fun to watch their first few years mostly because of the fans, but now they're a damn good team. this 1-8 st...

i was thinking about how to weave our Trav into that one myself.

i second the motion.

this lottery is a travishamockery*.

*reserving the right to change my mind on Saturday.

is that picture of you??

enormous effort - love it, Trav!

when the cbc first televised hockey they didn't pick it up until after the 2nd periods of games. so what i'm saying is that in 50 years, MLS will be *ENORMOUS* in Canada. in all seriousness tho, the 'Caps are a pretty big deal up here, as is this Cascadia Cup (Van, Portland, Seattle). It's definitel...

degen - congrats! i never thought they'd have a shot but they've been pretty damn exciting the last few months.

too lazy to look up: when was the last time 5 Canadian teams made the playoffs?
