My buddy tore his ear drum down in Panama. He had to go to the emergency room there and got a shot in the ass and some pain killers and that costed him $10. Then the next day he was in Costa Rica his ear was bleeding so he went to the ER and got more shots and pain pills and it costed $220. He has to go back the next 2 days to get more shots in his ass haha.

Sounds like the tucker max sushi pants story.... except I'm pretty sure you have to be 20 minutes removed from your last drink for it to be accurate.

This has been the most drunken weekend of my existence, especially tonight. I lost count of how many beers I had after 15. Not typically how I am.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I do not feel 20 years old, wow.

[gonz]

I was so drunk before we even left the dorm last night that I don't remember anything past like 11 or 12 o clock. Apparently we ran to some bar because guys under 21 can't get in before midnight. I get in, fall down, get kicked out because I was too drunk. A friend walked me back to the dorm we were at. Somewhere in there I fell a few times, one time right on my face, so the right side of my face and ear are all scuffed up. Keep in mind all of this is just me relaying what people told me as most of the night is blacked out. So basically I feel awesome right now.

do you feel like a douchebag for being that drunk? i usually do. it's only good when the people you're around are also as drunk as you are.

Pursuit of Happiness is really good. That and Soundtrack 2 My Life are my favorites. Sky Might Fall and Make Her Say are up there as well but I've been listening to those for a while now. His crappy flow doesn't really bother me. I guess I just got used to the fact that he has a really lazy flow and talks about some out there stuff. It honestly suits the music that's usually backing his verses very well, in my opinion.

[gonz]

I think Make Her Say was made strictly for radio play. Very Top 40 IMO.
Yeah, I agree. And honestly he needs those types of songs if he wants to stay relevant in the mainstream. Because I know Pursuit of Happiness is his next single but I can't see that being popular with the mainstream hip-hop crowd.

well he has two hits already with Day N Nite and Make Her Say, plus he has Kanye's backing, so he should have good sales, dude has a lot of hype. I think Soundtrack 2 My Life could be decent as a single as well.

I was pretty much unimpressed with the iPod update. video cameras on nanos and 16gb nanos are cool I guess, but something I'll never buy. The upgrade to a 64gb iPod Touch and upgrade to 160gb Classic are nice, I'll probably pick up a new Classic since my iPod Video 80gb is full.

new Teenage Bottlerocket is awesome. This band does fun pop-punk right.

[bigmike]

I don't lobby for people to check out/support bands much on this website, and this is a long shot, but it'd be really sweet if any of you guys could support Your Best Friend (http://www.myspace.com/yourbestfriend). They're completely unsigned and can't get any labels to bite, and they're in their 11th self-booked nationwide tour as a band and have had to buy:

-New trailer breaks
-Four new tires
-$952 to fix something that blew in their engine and left them stranded in New Mexico (and thus, canceled at least 3 shows)
-Just had someone break into their van and steal their iPod and GPS system

So, if you could check them out (http://www.myspace.com/yourbestfriend) and possibly purchase their record (http://shop.yourbestfriendrock.com/category.sc?categoryId=6) if you like what you hear, it'd be fantastic. They're the nicest band I've ever met and put on probably the best live show I've seen. Insanely energetic and on point each time I've seen them.

Edit: or you can paypal them at band@yourbestfriendrock.com

[aloneatlastnj]

glad to hear you like it. also ESPECIALLY glad you consider teenage bottlerocket pop-punk. good ol' tate suggests people shouldn't use that term to label this kind of ramones/screeching weasel type stuff.

favorite tracks? i'd have to say bigger than kiss, not ok, and todayo are my favorites so far.



also, scott, do you have a decent sounding rip of 'Total'? every single one i've found has sounded like utter CRAP.

[livethesounds]

Sounded like someone yelled "liar" when Obama said illegal immigrants wont get health insurance.

yea, one of the republican house members yelled "you lie". Watching the whole thing it looked more like a bunch of 12 year olds from the Republicans side. I don't recall Democrats acting this way during a presidential speech before. The members holding up proposals and shit while he was talking, idk. It still sickens me that the people running our country would stoop to acting like that on world wide broadcast.

i can't think of anything off hand, but i'm sure you're right. i'm just saying it's kind of upsetting to see grown men act like this when the country is in this type of shape. i don't affiliate myself with either party, so i don't really care about either, i just wanna be proud to live in this country, and with the things that go on with these people, it's really hard to say "i'm proud to be an american". that's all.

Ehh its always gone both ways. Never seen something like that in the US Congress. Watch discussions in the British Parliament though. You'd be surprised and very entertained with how that act and interact with each other.

It was a very good speech as usual. The only real problem it seemed to me was he glossed over how it would be paid for. The whole idea seemed pretty idealistic and still kind of far away from being realistic.

And yea dont want to turn this into a political debate. Just found that interesting.

I'm trying it out for the first time and doing an "if win" bet for college football. When it comes to placing your bets, what's the difference between selecting a "money line" bet and the "point spread" bet?

[gonz]

I think I must just hold Jigga to a ridiculous standard because after a couple listens I pretty much wrote off BP3 but then I gave it another chance today and really listened to it and there's actually a few really good songs on it. It's pretty solid as a whole. Right in a row near the beginning, DOA, Run This Town, and Empire State of Mind are all pretty awesome. I think I may have written it off because it was merely pretty good, and not brilliant like a few of his albums.

off that is sick, a lot of the album is meh though.

raekwon - only built 4 cuban linx pt II is the best. there's a ton of flow compared to the chorus heavy songs out there today.

a moneyline bet is basically picking a team outright to win. say the Dolphins are +140 and the Falcons are -110 this weekend. the -110 means Atlanta is the favorite. if you bet on atlanta, you have to bet $110 to win $100. if you bet on miami, you have to bet $100 to win $140

Yep, and the point spread may have Atlanta -4...which means that if you think Atlanta will win by more than 4, you bet them, and if you think the Dolphins lose by less than 4 or win it, you take them. You can also do the "buy points" option, where you won't double your money on a win, but you can change the spread (so you can buy a point to make Atlanta a -3 giving yourself more leeway for them to win, and then still win $80 on a $100 bet)

Honestly though, if you are doing it to make money, then find a strategy, but if you are just doing it for fun/not betting huge amounts, I'd go with moneyline bets and find ones that give you solid chances to win

anyone know of a good free site to bet against the spread

[xbrokendownx]

one thing ill say is that if i lived in Vegas, id go broke betting on sports/sitting in the sportsbooks all day. those places are like heaven to me

[Zeran]

yea, one of the republican house members yelled "you lie". Watching the whole thing it looked more like a bunch of 12 year olds from the Republicans side. I don't recall Democrats acting this way during a presidential speech before. The members holding up proposals and shit while he was talking, idk. It still sickens me that the people running our country would stoop to acting like that on world wide broadcast.

that was such a ridiculous moment. too bad that the actual myth about illegals getting health insurance from the plan has been debunked, so the guy looks like even more of an ass.

Is Straylight Run any good? They're playing with the Dangerous Summer in Vermont and I really want to go, but it's SLR's tour.

[Scott Weber]

eh, they've got 3 other music people. it's not like paula abdul ever added anything insightful.

[deadstar]

Not too happy that they're replacing Seinfeld in the 7:30 and 11 time slot on Fox with the Office. I still watch those Seinfelds daily. Office has very little lasting power.

[CarlosLunes]

you know your fox network is different than everyone elses, right?

also how do you not have a dvr in 2009?

[pand75]

I only know like 3 people with DVR. It's expensive up here.

[CarlosLunes]

canada doesnt count

[Scott Weber]

haha seriously. could not watch TV without DVR.

[deadstar]

Dont watch nearly enough tv or any shows really to warrant getting a DVR right now.

ahhhhh gotta leave work early so i can get home in time to see lost, cant wait to sit through commercials!

seinfeld is on TBS at 7-8 pm here and on UPN from 10-11, i am covered for seinfeld.

Its funny, I own the complete series, but I'd rather watch whatever random episode is on TV at the time then pull out the DVD's

[CarlosLunes]

flash forward looks incredible

[livethesounds]

UPN is still around?

it's the CW now, it's forever UPN in my mind ingrained in that channel spot.

UPN turned into My9 here...WB turned into the CW

[we are cured]

yeah was just gonna say we had both upn and cw at the same time, i think

[Scott Weber]

UPN definitely turned into the CW here. WB turned into "MyQ2." I think. At least UPN and CW were both on channel 11, unless they flipped 'em.

[gonz]

Washington is weird then because it was WB > CW and UPN > My## for me too.

[CarlosLunes]

cw merged upn's and wb's, whichever was the station locally with less viewers was turned into a MY network

[Scott Weber]

cw merged upn's and wb's, whichever was the station locally with less viewers was turned into a MY network
nice, that makes sense then.

[gonz]

cw merged upn's and wb's, whichever was the station locally with less viewers was turned into a MY network
Now that you mention the UPN/WB merger that does sound familiar. Didn't know about how they decided which station would be which, though. Makes sense.

[rcrook]

Yeah here WB turned into CW and UPN to MYTV. I always remember UPN as the channel that showed all the black sitcoms like Moesha and shit.

[gonz]

I think the only show I ever watched (non-syndicated) on the CW after the merger was Supernatural. That show was awesome for a couple seasons.

cudi album has some great beats but his vocal style is really hit or miss. he needs a great producer to take control of his performances and make his melodies better.

Thanks, yeah I was fooling around with it last night. I picked a parlay bet with like 15 games and went money line on all of them. They look like pretty safe bets(all college football) so if I bet $20 and win it I'll get around $125. Which is freaking fine by me.

I was tempted to take the spread with ND and USC but ND will end up fucking me and USC is playing in Ohio.

picked up the remastered version of Magical Mystery Tour because that is my favorite Beatles album. Sounds really good, and the digipak is beautiful. I might have to pick up Revolver and Sgt. Pepper eventually as well, as those two round out my top three.

Abbey Road is by far my favorite album. i pretty much grew up on that album.

it folds out and has a nice thick booklet with rare photos, glossy finish, it's just a really nice product. There's a mini-doc about the album as well when you insert the disc into your computer.

I never considered buying any of the physical copies of the remasters but then yesterday I read that they come in really nice digipaks so I may consider getting one or two of them.

Nice...smart of them to think about why people would buy the physical copy over a digital download

Anyone pick up the Beatles rock band? The only package I've seen at game stop was for $249

drew, this isnt a personal attack so please do not be sensitive about this.....why would you purchase that instead of downloading it?
nah, I know. I already downloaded all the remastered albums, just wanted MMT because it's my fave and comes in a nice package. I mean, I'm not going to buy all 13 of them haha

No I don't have a home theater system, and if I did I would never spend hundreds of dollars on cables that are no better than $5 ones.

- jerk off with a cheese grater
- fist my asshole with spiked brass knuckles
- kiss a gay man after he received bukkake
