Hey, I agree with Rachel here, very much. Basically, no matter what, Gore and Bush WILL ultimately be the 2 choices to be "reasonable" about voting in the next race... not that I care at all about either, but, since I am Anti-Bush (crooked, face-value liaden Republican... look at the man's

Ok, so I'm not gonna continue on with the Led Zeppelin discussion, since I'd rather not take sides and fuel the fire. However, I do think Led Zeppelin has some beautiful work(s). I by no means have pursued listening or buying any of their stuff in the past few years, but they do have an

In reply to this letter (at the bottom), I regurgitate a basic economic principle: "The value of a good is subjective." We base our lives on different perceptions of good and bad and how those filter onto and affect our resulting utility. I'm sure most everyone on this list gets "fucked up",

I have to agree with the letter I'm replying to, for the most part. To tell you the truth, I've never heard anything by Death Cab for Cutie-- I'd go out and buy something right now, but I'm kinda starpped for funds as far as my CD collectin' days go. I have too many other CDs, I feel, I would

In response to this: (NOTE:nevermind, I just end up rambling on about nothing, really) What I tell people is, "You know why I'm an elitist pig? Because so many people actually LIKE 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' Because that's proof positive that 90 percent of the human beans walking around

Hi, Among all the fighting (whatever! ... please don't attack me for implementing a broad expression), et al: HBO's Reverb airings, after glancing over it another time, I saw, maybe, a few updates to their show air times. Sorry for the non-MM content, but it seems hopeless anyway, right?

Hi, Ok, here runs my story: At first I was planning to go see SY in Santa Fe as a part of a greater road trip... and then they slapped "BENEFIT" on it with a $50 charge on it. I realize this is the almighty [or whatever] for some of you... but they've kind of fizzled in me with the rest of

hmmm... as far as smoking pot, i greatly enjoy listening to music, much more actually than when sober. favorites being halobenders, stereolab, and, oh, the pixies (but them moreso when i'm drunk). however, it's odd really that such a question should come into my life. I hate returning home to
