    --any one have any good parking tips (for easier out) or if it possible to uber (especially on way home when the whole arena empties out). --any advice is greatly appreciated. I have GA's for tonight. Thank you.

    What time (approx.) have they been taking the stage in Los Angeles?

    The Miracle (of Joey Ramone) - Song Discussion

    I think the true fans of alt/indie rock appreciate and gravitate towards bands that try new sounds--it is what made U2 the coolest band in the 90's. I can really hear the Danger Mouse influences on SLABT, Troubles, Reach, and Crystal Ballroom, and I wish they had taken it all the way. (I still...

    The Miracle (of Joey Ramone) - Song Discussion

    While I love the album as a whole, I just cannot get into this song. While, not as bad, I get SUC flashbacks. For some reason, the band figures generic dad rock will secure their relevance, while I believe, it's the fresher sounds like Troubles, SLABT, and Crystal Ballroom that will. I do...

    The Crystal Ballroom - Song Discussion

    Can't stop listening to this song. Incredible--I put it up there with the album's three other masterpieces: Iris, Troubles, SLABT.

    Early song rankings

    ...really surprised Iris isn't #1 on everyone's list. IMO, it is the clear-cut masterpiece on the album. --little bit of context: I LOATHED this album the first several listens to the point of actually being depressed about it--but it has really grown on me to where I now love the record. I...

    California (There Is No End To Love) - Song Discussion

    Love this song. Ranks 4th behind Iris (HMC), The Troubles, SLABT. I could really see this as a radio hit.

    Troubles vs Sleep Like a Baby--which one makes the live cut?

    I hope both, but definitely "Troubles" will be played with a pre-recorded Lykke Li on screen a la Lou Reed on the ZooTV tour--and I am sure she'll make a live cameo or two.

    Sleep Like A Baby Tonight - Song Discussion

    Would be very much at home amidst the songs on Pop (my favorite album). This song has seeped into my bloodstream--sick. I will be disappointed if this is not played live...

    "Bono calls for control over internet downloads"

    wow--DVD's look incredible on my 1080p HDTV--VHS looks horrible. While the specs may be similar in "the step up" from VHS-DVD the user experience is vastly different. In fact, I work in the industry and many will tell you the sales pitch for BD is a very tough sell due to the fact that people...

    "Bono calls for control over internet downloads"

    Yes, but the discussion, IMO, revolves around a business model that will work. The current model of Jim rents, Sally buys, Bill steals...is KILLING the business. There will always be the option of owning, but the sub model will be the center of the biz.
