what gold shirt?
Is it the spamaramma from whoever that was this morning???
where’s are mods?? wake up boys….oh snaps…I didn’t even see Obama’s 1/2 assed reply.
shit, I didn’t even watch his speech. Maybe because he tends to say the same things in a glorified way each time…lol
I’m still voting Obama though…I kinda did some research on this, but there is so much other stuff to read beyond just that. Don’t know where to start???
fascinating though
me too blue I thought it was him until I read it…Who is that weirdo? Looks like Jessie McCartney with red hair…
Politics are getting to OC now….
Did anyone see Palin’s BS of a speech?
She just sounded war happy and fight happy….
her daughter’s baby’s daddy sure didn’t look like a happy camper…must be forced to do something he don’t want to do
shotgun wedding-not able to be a deadbeat dad…..
I couldn’t watch all of it as it irritated me…all the people cheering for her cuz all they care about is what is in their pocket….well if it weren’t for the spammer-who knows when I would have seen those super dee duper awesome goodies sent to Dazey..
they were sent to you right Dazey?
Do they still accept mail at their P.O. box?
why you hiding your address on the envelope hehehe
awesome stuff to look at..I want one
well as far as partial birth abortions are concerned I am not fond of that idea and I am sure most people aren’t and most women aren’t…I don’t think women intentionally want to have a partial birth abortion, but it happens, just like many other things happen in this world.
I also don’t agree with that as a form of birth control. I had a friend who had quite a few by the time she was 22. We don’t know everyone’s circumstances/reasons for having that procedure done.Uh-oh, here I go.
I’m sure that as a band, SPs will always see songs and merchandise are accessible to paying fans. I disagree with the way it’s becoming tougher to ‘keep up’ with releases though. The Target-only Zeitgeist was a real pain in the arse for me; until a friend grabbed one from eBay on my behalf, phew. He even had trouble when visiting the Stores themselves, apparently their stock’s quite sloppy these days?
I wasn’t planning on being caught in the Zeitgeist Release Trap, then as time passed; I wanted the track of this name on a ‘proper’ release. I refuse to enter iTunes territory, although I can see it becoming necessary in the distant future whether I like it or not. I succumbed to 7digital, after all.
As Arthur’s sentiment above touches on, people will do what they can to obtain something they want, we usually give in and the band know we’re likely to eventually. Indeed it can be quite fun – the thrill of the chase – although I’ll say that it’s not for me any more. I just want to order something, pay, then wait for its delivery. I won’t pay Shop/Store prices on principle any more, so I’m forced to order online.
Back on-course: Now Label-free, they’re not so concerned with money, simply because they’ve made it over the years already. If someone thought Corgan worries about the bills Mr Mailman (or Woman) delivers, chances are they’d be completely wrong. He makes money as anybody would, it’s however not a concern. Financially, the game’s up for SPs, they don’t -really- need to consider what they make, moreso what’s spent out now. Maybe that’s too sweeping a statement, you see what I mean though… Perhaps Jeff or Ginger would argue the point regarding money. I wonder how they’re paid band-wise, contracted, etc.
Sadly, I can see vinyl being out-phased quite soon in industry terms (by the SPs at least), if it isn’t already. CDs will last longer, yet to save $Millions, digital-only would likely be a necessary evil. It’s well on its way now in the Entertainment Industry.
I’ve spoken to a few contacts in the music industry recently who have made interesting comments at times. One being, In-House Promos are even in danger of lower production. Secure servers transmit data between people, leaving tangible media as an unnecessary risk. If I wanted to give my ex g/f Paz a CD \"for her eyes only,\" I’d rather an encrypted file sent, than a disc that could end up who-knows-where.
Billy Corgan will never cease to amaze me, he’s so far ahead of the music game and probably always was. David Bowie also springs to mind, ironic they’re good friends.
I’m feeling that Mr C’s trying his best to be more approachable and available to fans, the upcoming DVD set as an obvious example. He’s doing what he can for us, so to speak.
Wonder how the next album will be released: Hopefully everything on one CD that you can pick up and admire, rather than a sterile file from a website. This or chasing around the globe for an elusive disc that should be easily grabbable by all.
My physical collecting days are pretty much over, so really for myself, I’d just be happy having all releases available to my ears in some form.
Sorry for the waffle, I swallowed a handful of Philosophy Pills recently.
Very interesting times ahead, yet more sterile and distanced, maybe.
As ever, rawk awn to Billy & Co., even if you push loyalty limits indirectly at times! I’ve come so close to selling Virgin items, as opposed to just swallowing my pride and being grateful for the items themselves.
Not to off-track the thread (hope I haven’t already), here’s a little food for thought: Little Dickie Birds suggested that D’Arcy and James are more friendly towards Billy than is usually felt or known. Do you really believe they all despise each other, when the crunch comes on down? I’ll stick my ‘lil neck on the block to say they were in cohorts with Corgan as regards the sueing, that they all agreed on how this scenario went down and the future’s still quite uncertain. Sure, there’s the crap about the -hopeful- Gish boxset and so on, but read between the lines at times, I’m conveying.
Don’t worry I won’t
never ever ever!!
I think it’ just hilarious….I must have been her best worker..actually I was…honestly I haven’t paid much attention anymore
I just automatically assume Obama will win
McCain’s VP choice is a joke…don’t know a whole lot, but I am not impressed.
It’s like he needed to do something to try and get more attention going toward his campaign, so get a ‘sexy librarian’ is how I think I heard it on the radio (can’t remember the exact term-but had librarian in it)..lol
It’s been a joke..Obama and his game playing with his VP choice…I’m gonna send it text message at such and such time..blah blah..for me it’s get to the fucking point, stop playing the media attention game, stop beating around the bush-just say what the hell you need to say and get on with it…
so that sums up my opinion currently-until next weeks drama or tomorrow’syou know in the beginning I was for Obama had me a sign in the yard too..someone stole it and 2 others on the block too…Republicans
I won’t vote McCain or Nader
or I just don’t vote as it could some how come back and bite me in the ass later in life for some stupid reason
it’s my neighbor’s bootleg childcare center..I say bootleg because it used to be a convenience store turned into a big room daycare with dividers to separate the rooms. She’s overpriced and a bully…….and a whole bunch of other BS, unfair treatment to some of the children,favoritism constantly to her own children.children getting mixed messages…..
Oh and she was claiming my children being there for 2 months June/July after I quit,so she can collect $$ from the food program. fraud…
