If you like Cab, Smoking Loon's cab is under $10, and shocking flavorful. On the pinot side of things, Hayman and Hill's is cheap and relatively decent.

I didnt include it in the review, but i admit that the album lulls a bit in the middle. But taken as a whole, those last 3 tracks just blow me away. The Conan show was good, but its pretty hard to capture EitS in 6 minutes. Don't get me wrong, this album is not The Earth is not a Cold Dead...

Explosions in the Sky will always have a special place in my heart. "The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place" introduced me to instrumental post-rock, and remains a gem of the genre. This Austin-based group has the capacity to make truly emotionally stirring instrumentals, and they can move me with a...

I've owned about 40 HDDs so far, and the only brand that has never failed was seagate. Sorry to hear about your troubles. For anyone out there with REAL important data (read: business related), here are companies that take apart the plates in a clean room and restore the data sector by sector...

Oh goody! maybe this will keep him from venturing into Robert Jordan verbal diarrhea territory (the last book had me scared).

this thread makes my pee-pee hurt.

Well, 3 months in, 4 re-fits later, and righty still doesnt fit right. Just sent in another impression, Im losing hope.

Apparently he suffered the head injury that eventually lead to his death while attending a Rolling Stones concert. At age 83. I hope I die still doing what I love. Oh, and poster #2, I wouldn't call the founder of Atlantic Records "obscure" at all.

Who the hell is this guy?? Hilarious!

While I agree with a lot of what is being said here, lets keep it out of politics (which military spending and state-funded schooling certainly are), and focus on the issue: bankers making 9-figure salaries.

Money is a social construct, begun in early civilizations (Mayans?), with the sole purpose of exchanging a universal measurement of value for a service. I don't think many would argue that somewhere along the way, something got all out of whack. I think the deliciously ironic thing is...

This is unbelievable. Can you even *imagine* getting a check this Christmas for $100 million?

Look forward to celebrating it every year. Sure it can be stressful, but its so fantastic to spend time with family. And as for the religious part, I sure do too.

Just saw the trailer for the new Frank Miller-based movie, "300." Looks pretty swell. http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/300/

wow. to think of the productive things he could have done with that time... pretty cool though.

I dont know how many of you are Sufjan-aholics like I am, but I was unaware that the Christmas EPs were now available as a box set! I just ordered mine. I love these records a whole lot, so just FYI. Theyre available on the asthmatic kitty website. Pretty cheap too, $21 shipped for all 5 EPs.

I agree on both accounts, except I think "us" is by FAR the stand-out track on "Soviet..," while "Begin.." is a much stronger overall record. I can only take her in moderately small doses, but they are good times.

I'm not overtly familiar with the process, but I don't believe you even need a lawyer to take her to small claims court. Just make sure you keep all your paperwork, and proceed. That being said, even if the court rules in your favor, odds are she's not going to pay. Sorry to hear about that...

My first ticket was given in Valley Mills, Texas, when I was 19 years old. I was coming home from a friends house out in the country, and it was roughly 3am. The speed limit on highway 6 (as it does in so many small Texas towns) dropped from 65mph to 35mph in about 300 yards. Knowing this is...

I'm pretty sure I would shrivel up and die if for some reason I was forbidden from using my sonicare. I freaking love that thing.

Fantastic article about brilliant pebbles here I personally love the CDP on the limes
