Let's carry this thread over to tomorrow - I had too much work to do to listen to anything this afternoon.    Many in the company are down in Florida at a sales meeting, leaving me in charge of too much for my liking.  (I declined to go to said meeting -- too much to do here, and besides, I gots no love for Florida.)

Agreed.  Last nice surprise on Tues before I left work: The Sylistics cover of Dionne's "You'll Never Get To Heaven."

This should probably be in the Movie Thread (sorry, I'm anal) but yeah, I'm curious and hope to see it within the week. It seems to be one of those love-it-or-hate-it deals.

Regional 10@10's across the time zones! / Yet another 10@10: "The Peak"

« on: April 06, 2005, 07:39:04 AM »

Today's 10@10EST goes all the way back to the '70s!  So far I've heard "Rock 'N Me" and "The First Cut Is the Deepest" (Rod's version).

EDIT: It's 1976!  And they're playing "Coyote"!  This one's for you, VWP.

I'm impressed to hear they go back further than '80.  I look forward to Friday's set, whatever it is.

I still don't get his attractiveness -- he looks to me like a hirsute E.L. Fudge cookie.

Yikes.

Mr Damon is now -- officially -- very very weird. He was cute when he was in Oakland with short hair and clean-shaven. But the caveman look is just one of those affectations that make you say "WTF?" He looks like the type of guy who doesn't shower for days because he like his own, er, scent. I'm not surprised he's working on his second wife. That too shall pass. Is it now every American boy's dream to post his honeymoon pics on espn.com?

Princess, you can do better.  And Ving eats boys like Johnny for breakfast :lol:

I think he really only has one eybrow, but he shaves the middle to make it look like he has two.

He's the Frida Kahlo of baseball!

And Greeks ARE Fine Hookers, BTW. As anyone who's ever seen Never on Sunday knows.

KFOG's 10@10 / Re: Speaking of Nastasia Kinki

« on: April 05, 2005, 11:24:24 AM »

HM cuz I like it: "Cat People" by Der Bowie. I wasn't too keen on the movie, though. And considering it had a repeatedly naked Nastassia Kinski in it you'd think I would have liked it. But, no.

I just rec'd my belated xmas present from my sister, the DVD of "One From The Heart."  I don't think I've seen much if any Nastasia since then, but boy did she make an impression on me in OFTH.  I wonder if she's still as hot in this as I remember it?

I saw OFTH for the first time last year when the Castro revived it; I thought it was quite a disappointment, even though I love Tom Waits.

OK, if I can't enjoy this Human League track then I hate fun.  I never get tired of pointing out how clumsy that synth riff is, and yet I grin like a child every time I hear it.  And the lead-vocal tradeoff was an inspired arrangement.

Clumsy? it sounds downright out-of-tune, no? And yet it works. We are in complete agreement.

What's with all the damn Police lately? This is the second Police double-play in the last week. Once, fine but I'm sorry, this is not acceptable. Besides, they'd started sucking by this point. (Props to them for packing it in after this album though. Remarkable self-awareness on Sting's part.)

Jinx! but kudos on your analysis.
