AND - they start recording their new album right after the holidays. They sure aren't slackers, that's for damned sure.

No new tour?

I mean, sure, they just got off a mamouth tour, but they should've saved some more American shows to promote the new(er) album.

Nevertheless, I am quite pleased that they will start recording again. Unlike someone else...

No, they're going back out on tour in late February or March, I believe. They're coming back to the States for a lot more shows.

No ****.

Have you heard "Sexy Boy" from the Walk Away single? It's hot. And they covered Gwen's "What You Waiting For." HILARIOUS.

I haven't heard Sexy Boy, but I did hear the Gwen cover on your LJ.

Isn't it hysterical? I made a Franz mix CD with it. It's so much fun. You've got to love how they threw in Billy Idol's "White Wedding" at the end of it. If I can find the single, I'll try to rip "Sexy Boy."

I read about it early last year in an issue of NME with them on the cover, I believe. He wouldn't come straight out and say that "Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On" was about her, though.

It took me forever to get into Rehearsing My Choir from them. I'm quite fond of it now, but when I got it in October, all I could do was go "What the fuhhhhhhhhh...?"

Blueberry Boat is good, but my favorite album is Gallowsbird's Bark. Every song on that one is great.

Yup. It's quite different from anything they've done and I dig it. I put it on a mix CD next to "Shopping For Blood" and it sounds fab.

Hmm I have a list I'd like:
Anchorman: THe Legend of Ron Burgundy
The Distinguished Gentleman
Blazing Saddles
True Lies
Richard Pryor: Live in concert '79
and there's probably more

Gilmore Girls Season 2 (yes, I'm very behind)
LB's Soundstage
Scrubs Season 1 or 2


I have to ask you guys that "collect" DVDs - why? Realistically, I almost never like a movie enough to watch it more than once or twice. Sure, I have a few faves, but not too many. And TV? I barely have enough time to watch what's on now, let alone shows I liked 20 years ago. That being said, if they EVER release China Beach on DVD, I'll be the first in line.

I'm not putting anyone down or anything, I just don't get it. Please, someone help me understand. What is the point of paying for and collecting DVDs that you'll only watch once or twice? Why not just rent?

I don't really collect that many DVDs. I know that here in RI it is not that cheap to rent DVDs or at least it used to be. Sometimes you can get deals on the DVDs that really aren't much more then the cost of a rental. I am awful at actually watching the DVDs when I do rent them. If I buy it I can watch it anytime that I want. I have quite a few that I have never even opened yet. That is just me. Now that I am typing this I think that I will watch a DVD tonight since it is my night off.

I only buy movies that I KNOW I love. And, I'll watch those 2-3 times a year.
There's a pawn shop in town, that I'll stop by about once a month. They have used DVDs, for $5 each, or 5 for $20. And they have ALOT of new titles. Probably two thirds of my DVDs came from the pawn shop.

It's near the bad part of town. Po folks need crack money, and trade in their DVDs....

I collect them because I watch them more than once. If I think a movie is funny or scary Ill bring it to my friends house so we can all enjoy. Since I am a teenager me and friends and family do watch movies often. I guess you could compare me buying movies with some women and their incessant need for up to date and new clothing. Its another hobby IMO.

right off the bat that may interest me (Been building my official music collection as of late)...But since my sister sent me a BestBuy gift card for Christmas I will find out tomorrow what may interest me.

I feel exactly the way you do. I have 2 movies I think. ALmost Famous and Dazed and Confused. I have watched both of them several times. Other than that I have no desire to collect DVDs. Well, music DVDs. I watch those and then I put them on when I'm cleaning or whatever and have them playing in the background. I've never understood the DVD collecting thing. Or TV on DVD especially.

None, really.....I went a little crazy at Amazon recently.

[SuzeQuze]

Mom gave me Gilmore Girls Season 1 and I've already watched episodes one and two. I had already seen one without realizing it was the first. I love the show and look forward to watching the rest!

I also got The Brat Pack set with Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science (???). I love SC - it was my favorite 80s movie. I also got Lost Boys and one other I am forgetting. No one got me Lindsey! They must not have realized he is in FM.
