... Amsterdam and Kuala Lumpur, what the hell? Why on earth wouldn't they send you via the US west coast --> Sydney/Melbourne? Idiots. Though I'd go via San Francisco rather than LAX.

As for New Zealand, you'd have to fly into Auckland, but then go on to either Wellington or the South Island because Auckland fucking sucks and has Ian.

yeah, i dunno. when i checked...i think it was nz air? they'd go from lax to auckland. this is back when i briefly entertained the notion of me seeing the enz when they played earlier this year

ha! although nz doesn't require a visa to enter the country, either

I'm a pointer finger typer, but I can still type pretty fast, oddly enough.

 

[Axver]

ninee doesn't cuz i always hit stop as soon as kia kaha ends

I stop after Voices. I've heard Ninee probably once. But I hate how I just start settling into listening to the album as a kind of EP, Breaking My Back to Voices, then I have to skip Doctor Love.

Hey Khan, where does Playing The Angel rank in terms of Depeche Mode albums for you?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Algonquin for "the good land"!

Khan, it's oh-CON-oh-moe-wok

And the Washington city Puyallup is pew-AL-up.

well, i was kinda sorta close

I'll never forget Reggie Evans grabbing that guys' nuts during a Nuggets playoff game. High comedy.

EA probably did, those bastards. I love the gameplay and franchise stuff on the 2k Sports games more, but you know that EA's gonna fucking buy them off in a year or two.

Actually, MVP Baseball was the EA game. I think it was 2K sports that bought it out. I think it was in direct response to EA locking up the NFL games.

you could just listen to it as an ep, as it was originally intended to be!

Ah, yeah, as long as you stay less than 90 days, you don't need a visa to go to Australia or New Zealand. So what are you waiting for?

wtf Haul Away, this is great, it just feels so random. I love it !

Really now? Interesting.

It's only a matter of time before EA buys out 2k, I was reading about that on Gamespot.com the other day.

 

[Its Britastic!]

Just me and you all night I'm just kidding, we should be good, though I hate closing with two people

He's doing ok now, watching Hannah

Yeah me too but its that or call in Bashir. You choose.

Thats good.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Hey Khan, where does Playing The Angel rank in terms of Depeche Mode albums for you?

probably second or third from the bottom! i despise exciter, so that one's dead last. i don't know which i like least, playing the angel or ultra. they both have some good tracks but overall i don't like the albums.

and i'm not even COUNTING sofad live, which is in a whole different category: shitty albums that should've never been made that i pretend don't exist.

 

[Axver]

Is there a known tracklist?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

australia's website misled me then. i knew i didn't for nz, but didn't know about australia.

i'm waiting for some money! if i did visit though, to be honest, i'd pick australia. and it'd be melbourne

 

[bono_212]

Thats good.

just me and you it is!

 

[Its Britastic!]

just me and you it is!

Exactly

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Is there a known tracklist?

i heard it was basically side a of the album (breakin' my back-your favourite, doctor love). same order and everything. side b is all just filler, i think neil thought the last release should be an lp or something? which is why side b has one song by each member. i like everything but ninee, to be honest.

EA had to move MVP's style to NCAA Baseball, I imagine to buy time until they can do the pro one again.

You say it like it's a bad thing.

 

[Its Britastic!]

K, think Im finally gonna go to bed. Ive been up since like 8 last night.

 

[bono_212]

Log Cabin Fever, much more subdued then the previous track , which is a nice switch, but maybe this could've been after Pioneer? I don't know, I'm going off of one listen here.

Right.

I hate that my copy of Xbox NBA 2k7 isn't compatible with my 360. I'll try and get 2k9 next Christmas or something.

Really? That's cool.

Personally my top three Depeche Mode albums are:

1. Violator (it just such a perfect album)

2. Playing The Angel (A Pain I'm Used To, I Want It All, Precious, John The Revelator and Lillian are among my favorite songs by them)

3. Songs Of Faith and Devotion (just breathtaking)

I didn't need a visa when I went to the US and it'd be pretty fucking odd if the arrangement weren't reciprocal. At least, odd this way around - Aussies getting the perks and Yanks not. It's usually the US bullying countries into things while not letting other countries have the same arrangement with them! As I was discussing with the ophthalmologist yesterday, oddly enough.

Stalker! But Melbourne's made of win.

I don't think Khan wants you perving on her plane as she lands.

Have a good one!

Then you don't think at all.

Given that Pioneer is the intro to Six Months, I'm going to call that a silly idea.

3. Songs Of Faith and Devotion (just breathtaking)

my top three would be:
1. music for the masses
2. construction time again
3. hmmm....maybe a broken frame?

i like their 80s stuff better, can't you tell?
