Slow down vish, you'll strain your purchasing muscle.
Have gathered some intelligence on OOS, looks an interesting proposition. Can you recommend any specific tracks (ps what makes a quality album; many good tracks or, as you say, several great tracks? hmmm.)
I will consider. Till next time

Slow down vish, you'll strain your purchasing muscle. Just try and stop me. I am planning for furthur purchases soon. Have gathered some intelligence on OOS, looks an interesting proposition. Can you recommend any specific tracks (ps what makes a quality album; many good tracks or, as you say, several great tracks? hmmm.) I will consider. Till next time Nope. I don't want my views altering yours. Find it out yourself. Remember it is only my opinion. |

True. Wise advice, Mr 'Hysteria is merely great'.
I see more research is necessary. I am equal to this task.
But what of my question? I always thought you an advocate of depth of quality. Don't disillusion me, boy.
PS Clocks winning a Grammy? Fark, I knew the bastard would become popular.

But what of my question? I always thought you an advocate of depth of quality. Don't disillusion me, boy. I don't hand 10/10's to any old good looking chick with big tits and a nice face. They have too be gooooooooooooooooooood. Likewise albums. See there. PS Clocks winning a Grammy? Fark, I knew the bastard would become popular. They were popular as soon as Nova/Fox added them on to there playlists. Outkasts were robbed. |

You spealk of Hysteria as the best CD you've heard. Well, it is. Not that that's saying much. I am but a novice in this caper. Fear not, I don't feel I have reached the summit yet (well I hope not). I don't hand 10/10's to any old good looking chick with big tits and a nice face. They have too be gooooooooooooooooooood. Likewise albums. See there. Well said. I have nothing to add to that. They were popular as soon as Nova/Fox added them on to there playlists. I liked it the first time I heard it (on Nova) and it was a major factor in my purchasing of the album (before it got popular). Bah, I know, desperation, yada yada. Still, no bandwagon jumper, me No comment. Hey Ya is good, though. Hey, look at that, I've got another star, and better status. Might that have something to do with reaching the hallowed half-ton, Mr Das? |

Death in Vegas - Scorpio Rising ($29.95) Harls we must remember that this is all subjective. One mans trash is anothers treasure. (I'm not implying anything by that BTW) Although your casual labeling of 'Hey Ya' as 'good' is criminal I say! That ain't subjective!  (Email culled BTW) |

Harls we must remember that this is all subjective. One mans trash is anothers treasure. (I'm not implying anything by that BTW) Of course not. Although your opinion is always welcome. It's not likely to change mine, I just like to get a general feeling. Although your casual labeling of 'Hey Ya' as 'good' is criminal I say! That ain't subjective! Slow down, my boy, you move too fast. After staying in numerous hotel rooms containing MTV, hearing 'Hey Ya' day after day, one is bound to grow slightly weary of it. That's not to say I don't regard it as a high class piece of music, which i fairly loved the first time i heard it. It's just that staleness is my sworn enemy in music, and top of my list of criteria for a quality song is the ability to survive repeated listens (a test which clocks, hysteria, etc. stand up to every time). So forgive me if I was a tad dismissive; perhaps i had begun to take it for granted. Happens to the best of us. Ok then, I'm not sure if I can get them to you from here, it was a bit of an ordeal obtaining and then sending the photos from an internet cafe. Perhaps if someone reading this message who has said photos could forward them to our friend vish here tout de suite? Merci beaucoup. |

That's not to say I don't regard it as a high class piece of music, which i fairly loved the first time i heard it.

So forgive me if I was a tad dismissive; perhaps i had begun to take it for granted. Happens to the best of us. Dissapointing. Hey Ya is an intruiging, innovative and a damn good song. Were as Clocks and Hysteria are just damn good songs. Neither are intruiging or innovative. It [Hey Ya] still gets me going. Ah well. Each to its own I guess. Ok then, I'm not sure if I can get them to you from here, it was a bit of an ordeal obtaining and then sending the photos from an internet cafe.

Well. Glad I'm not the only dismissive one here.
Right, I know when I'm licked. I know how I feel about 'Hey Ya', as well as Hysteria and Clocks, so that's all I can say. I agree wholeheartedly that it (Hey Ya) is a most innovative song, I've never heard anything like it.
As for the other two, while hardly breaking new ground, they do some pretty damn impressive things with the old ground, which is alright in my book.
Bah, I've had enough. Remind me never to get in an argument about music with you again.

We'll see, my boy. We'll see. I don't know if I'm up to the Gomesh standard of argument yet, but I am flattered by the comparison. Although Ed is one to watch; he and I have been having some most enjoyable conversations on MSN lately (though I still think you've got him covered). BTW the apartment we are staying in has no MTV, therefore the last time I heard 'Hey Ya' (as well as many other songs) is now nigh on five weeks ago. They say absence does make the heart grow fonder, and I daresay on my return 'Hey Ya' will hold as much allure as ever (especially that clip, it's a real killer-- Johnny Vulture: Yes ladies, he's still single!) Wow, that's quite an effort. A board with this many posts not going off on any major tangents. Kudos to all involved (vish n' dasa  Anyway, this'll be my last post from Europe (we're leaving tomorrow); possibly my last post overseas. It's been real. See you on the other side. |

OK, it's not music, but the title of this board doesn't specify music, so here's my latest purchase:
Molvania: A Land Untouched by Modern Dentistry - Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner, Rob Sitch
From the creators of Frontline and The Panel, it's basicallly a travel guide for a fictional Eastern European country. Have read the first chapter, looks like a good buy. I am a fan of their work.
No activity in terms of muse, have scoured several music stores and come up dry. How the fark did you find out about them in this freakin' country vish??

Read 2nd chapter. Doesn't disappoint. Here's a taste:
'...the precise degree of brusqueness is required, for example, to catch the attention of a waiter. If you are too meek he will ignore you. If you are too aggressive he may produce a concealed weapon.'
Good stuff. End transmission

To tell you the truth, I don't believe you would like OOS to the extent I do IMO.
Many reviewers have stated that Absolution is there best album.
I would think that your taste is more towards them then mine.
- Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Class buy there Harls.
