Hey Rick:
Yes, "Bigger Bang" was what I was referring to. I just remember it sounding kinda Raw, Funky, Bluesy and Nasty... all those things that R&R are supposed to be. But I couldn't really give it my attention at the time and snippets on Amazon don't do it justice. I'll add it to the Christmas list. Yes, I knew about Shemekia's Dad... but at first thought I always think it's Stewart Copeland. Once I remember that he was the founder of the Police, I move on to remembering it was Johnny Copeland!

The Wife ran out this morning to get EVEN MORE Christmas decorations(no thanks, I'll stay home if you don't mind)and while getting that stuff she also picked up a new DVD.
Guys, if you're having trouble with someone telling you to turn down the volume(you know who you are!)Then pick up the "Mr and Mrs Smith" DVD ![]() It's a real cross gender "Chick Flick"(that most guys should enjoy)with a way good sound track!!(and lots of action, in spots)And you can most likely keep the volume up cause the gals will watch closely since the leading Lady usually gets the upper hand over the leading Man!! A small price to pay to enjoy the picture And the sound! ![]() ![]() Rich. |

Arrrrrgh.....The Grinch!!
We have one just like the one you depicted.....A one foot tall stuffed one, right next to the lighted mini-Nativity, right next to the front door! While it dosen't sound as if it should make sense,....It Fits!! ![]() Christmas Shopping at our house can be a bit interesting though. Usually what happens, say, on a Wal-mart trek, is She'll get one of those electric riding carts, and drag me around all those acres for an average of four to five hours at a stretch; and sometimes longer at the Mall!! ......I'd really rather stay home!! ![]() ![]() ....and catch some rousing tunes at obscene volume levels ![]() Rich. |

OMG! I'm with you then, I don't blame ya for wanting to stay home. Heck when my wife drags me to such places, I complain if we're there more then 2 hours, let alone 4-5.
I do go every now and then though, just to avoid the "You Never Do Anything With Me Anymore" conversation. ![]() However, I have found that when I tell her, "If you keep draggin me to the Mall all the time, I'm not gonna wanna do anything with you anymore", she lets me stay home then. ![]() It generally costs me dinner somewhere, but that's well worth it to me. I can't stand the mall I tell ya. lol Sutter |

I think i am off to another concert tonight at the local indie-rock hot spot Amigo's Cantina to check out The Ladies and Gentlemen. Planning on Elliot Brood on Saturday as well. Probably be listening to a little of both tonight to "warm-up".

I hate the mall also. Let's face it all of us do! But I have worked out a good deal with the wife. For every hour I spend with her at the mall, I get an hour of no holds barred volumn listening of the stereo. She usually goes to take a long bath. She say's the sub adds to the effect of the jacuzzi on her stress relief. It's a win, win situation. I thought I should pass it on. You have to hit them where they live.
Relationships are about compromise! oz

I have to retract any negative statements I may have made concerning my Wifes' Christmas decoration shopping!!
There is a new "miracle of Christmas"!!! "The stockings were hung by the chimney with care..." and my listening room picked up about 73 atta-boy points!! ![]() (ok, I sometimes hang towels from the fireplace mantle to help with errant reflections, so it comes as no surprise that it helps) but at least for the holiday seasons I'll have a much improved listening experience!! The other surprize is the Christmas tree that the Wife insisted that we place right to the left front corner of the fireplace.(style, ya know ![]() Strange......the tree dosen't look as though it's made of acoustically transparent grille cloth ![]() |

Last night I went with a buddy from work to grab a few beers and check out Roy Wood Jr. and Kathleen Madigan at Zanies (comedy club here in Nashville). We had a great time and I laughed so hard my jaw and the back of my head ached. It's not quite music or home theater, but it's a great way to pass an evening and I consider it money well spent.
