    Amazon AutoRip

    Yes, some songs are missing. The email I got from Amazon announcing AutoRip specifies that "SONGS from these CDs you purchased from Amazon in the past are now available for you in Cloud Player for FREE" and later in the email it says "Please note that some songs from the above CDs are not...

    Lady GaGa General Discussion

    The only thing solid I think she's said about the new album, other than the title 'Artpop', is that it will be released with an interactive app. She has hinted about song titles and release dates but I don't think anything has been confirmed about the number of songs.

    Gaga kicked off the North American (and last) leg of the Born This Way Ball tour last night in Vancouver and the show has received some very positive reviews: Lady Gaga Kicks Off Her Born This Way Ball in North America | Music News | Rolling Stone Lady Gaga shows she's impossible to top in...

    On Twitter she referred to this as the '1st installment' of dates so expect more soon. Whether that means more cities or just more shows in the cities already announced remains to be seen.

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    It's been a long time but I thought it was NBC that started the 'Johnson is faster' dispute and Johnson then took it from there. I seem to remember them showing a split screen of Bailey and Johnson side by side running over the same stretch of track and Johnson covered it faster so they...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    Agree on both points. But unfortunately Fraser-Pryce doesn't set world records so gets overlooked. And yeah, the marathon finishing in the stadium isn't something that needed to be changed. lmao at Prince Harry being the Royal representative! I can see the Queen not being there again but...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    To be fair Bolt did display a teeny, tiny bit of humility during the interview with John McEnroe when he said he was honored to be mentioned in the same sentence with Jesse Owens, Muhammad Ali, and Michael Johnson. Of course, that was after he said he 'definitely' belonged with them in the...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    No, Costas would definitely not have said that about an American athlete. I'm sure it annoys him and NBC overall that, as hard as they have tried to make Michael Phelps the star of these games, the real star is Bolt. Normally the kind of hubris Bolt displays would bother me, but it doesn't...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    The point I was trying to make is that people like to see records broken and know that the men's sprint records could potentially be broken anytime Bolt runs, but that is not the case with the women. The men's 100m record has been broken several times by several different runners over the last...

    Maybe, but he was looking at the timer before he slowed down so he must have thought he wasn't going to get the record.

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    Great run by the US team too. Ryan Bailey almost stayed with Bolt on the final leg. It seemed like Bolt wanted to keep the baton as a souvenir but they wouldn't let him. Is there a rule that the officials have to collect them after the race?

    madonna vs u2

    How about Madonna vs Elton John instead? It's a fairer comparison since they're both solo artists and it could be a real knock-down drag-out battle since they seem to despise each other. Whose weave would come off first?

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    Yes, that was impressive. Glad to see one of the women's world records from the eighties finally broken, and bonus that it was an East German record. Even with Jeter this US team is cleaner than that East German team. I just hope I live long enough to see Flo-Jo's totally tainted 100M record...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    Yes, that was a great evening of track & field. An amazing night for Great Britain (will probably take some of the sting out of the soccer loss), an end to the Ethiopian 10,000 meter domination, and a great women's 100M final to finish it off. I enjoyed the moment at the end when the fans were...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    Despite all the positives that would have resulted had NYC won the bid, I'm happy that London got it because I am enjoying the venues: tennis at Wimbledon; cycling time trials at Henry VIII's castle complete with thrones for the top three; rowing at Eton with packed grandstands on both sides...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    It is certainly possible that China may have come up with a new PED that is not being tested for by the IOC. But if that were the case why wouldn't they have more swimmers getting crazy results at these games? Would they really just use Ye as some kind of test subject and take the chance that...

    Penn State Child Molestation Scandal...continuing discussion

    I had been in favor of the football program being shut down for at least a year, but I think the penalties handed down today are probably acceptable punishment. What I don't find acceptable though is the reason the NCAA gave for not going with the 'death penalty'. Emmert said that shutting...

    Penn State Child Molestation Scandal...continuing discussion

    I think it's common knowledge among even casual sports fans that Division I college sports has a long history of corrupt programs involving everything from recruiting violations and eligibility fudging to point shaving and even an attempt to cover up a murder at Baylor. But Penn State was...

    Penn State Child Molestation Scandal...continuing discussion

    Of course it does. No, it's not fair that current players that had nothing to do with this would suffer because of it, but that's what happens anytime the NCAA drops the hammer on a school even when it's not as extreme as the death penalty. It's not fair that John Calipari has left a trail of...

    'Scheisse' in Auckland. This was the show where she was hit on the head earlier so kind of ironic that she's wearing a helmet now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t-G5GLsbOg&feature=player_detailpage

    Yes, saw the video of that on 'The Soup' last night. It appeared to hit her pretty hard.

    Amazon Daily Deals!!!$$$!!

    Nice idea for a thread but is every sale item post going to be followed by five or ten 'not worth it at any price' posts with people patting themselves on the back for avoiding said sale item? Because it's annoying. Believe it or not, your musical tastes are not universal. And I'm not even a...

    Lady GaGa General Discussion

    I understand that, but she could have done arena shows in the warmer climates instead of a stadium show. It just seems odd to have the first date of the tour, which will get a ton of publicity, in a stadium when the vast majority of the shows will be in arenas since you would think the stage...
