[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh]John Mayer is really talented, so I like the fact that he's doing slightly less poppy stuff. Though I do kinda like the song Daughters >.> <.<[/QUOTE]

His voice is pleasant enough that he can make most pop songs less common mainstream pop sounding. Not to say that I don't like mainstream music, but he gives it a very diffrent flavor. Daughters is a nice song.

Moon, have you seen "The Harder They Come"? I think you had an avatar of one of the characters a while back. A guy with sunglasses and a big yellow hat (hopefully you'll know what movie I mean even if I got the title wrong).

If you have seen it, how was it?

I saw two things that I wanted at Best Buy, but both were pretty overpriced.

"The Harder They Come" CD was some stupid deluxe edition for $28. Of course, they don't have the CD by itself. Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas was another stupid deluxe edition with "bonus features", that I could care less about. It was 30 bucks.

/rant

I would like to see the movie for The Harder They Come too.

It's my desktop. :)

I got the new Mayer album too. He is a great blues player. It was gutsy of him to take another direction in his music in this point in his career. It's good, although I liked his pop stuff too.[/QUOTE]
I agree 100% with this. I got and love [I]Try[/I], and I plan to get his other albums aswell.

It's a pretty good movie. Not overly exciting, but definitely interesting. Visually alone it's enjoyable -- cause Jamaica to someone in Illinois during winter is unreal.

So, did anyone download that Magic Sam album?

[QUOTE=JonG]So, did anyone download that Magic Sam album?[/QUOTE]
I did, but I literally have 20 albums to listen to.

My mandolin is pretty sweet, too bad I suck at it.

You ****in' musta cleaned your family right out. That's pretty cool you got a Mandolin...what kind? Yeah Sabbath is pretty awesome, Paranoid amazes me! And those are sweet shirts you got, I've always wanted that ABB one...but one of my friends has it and he loves it and wears it all the time...so it would kinda be weird having me wear it as well (now I'm starting to sound like a girl!). Did I tell you guys what awesome tea I got for Christmas? Oh, it's amazing! :thumb:

:lol: Nice

I didn't download the Magic Sam, the link had already expired by the time I tried it. I had like 15 albums in my inbox and by the time I had got to Magic Sam, it expired:(

Nice gifts Livewired:thumb:

A mandolin would be pretty sweet to play.

np- CSNY- Carry On

It's an Alabama mandolin. It looks like this:

[url]http://www.andersonstrings.com/Alabama%20ALM20.jpg[/url]

Except its electric.

I'll post some pics later because my brother got a digital camera.

The key this year was telling my paretns to buy used CDs. I bought my 9 year old brother Are You Experienced? this year. I decided to give him an album with good drums(because he's an aspiring drummer) and lots of catchy songs. I thought it was a good idea.

Okay I just opened up my gifts for christmas:

CDs:
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Rolling Stones - A Bigger Band, Between the Buttons, 12x5
Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
DVDs:
Sin City: Recut - Extended - Unrated
Rolling Stones - Four Flicks
Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
Games:
AOE III
And I made out with 400 dollars and a new car. Not a bad year.

Not a bad year at all, you lucky bastard.

What kind of car?

Also, nice insults in the Vocalist poll. Calling Plant and Morrison "poonface" or whatever is classic. :cool:.

The mandolin is such an interesting instrument, I always mess around with the one at the local music store. I might try and pick it up soon, not before I get a Harmonica though.

Good thinking with the Hendrix. It will only lead to better things. (Not that their is too much better than Jimi)

Is it the tea or have you been doing some powder? :lol:

Seriously though, it's like you're trying to say 10 things in just a few sentences. :p

I'm getting a sitar. :cool:

/lies again about the sitar

Hey Lunch or DeusExMachina, I'm going to be in the DC area tomorrow.

Yeah, he's already big on the Sabbath but I thought he needed to hear this album.

I just learnt/played "Here Comes the Sun" on mandolin, doubt I'll be able to remember it for a while though.

Is there a mandolin part or did you just learn the guitar on mandolin? Jeez I havent heard that song in so long.

Here Comes The Sun is a pretty song. It makes me very happy. It's possibly my favorite song on Abbey Road, which is so freakin' awesome.

By new car, I mean new to me. Its like a 96(98?) Honde Civic. I think thats it. I'm no good with car names.

Ya, how Plant or Morrison got in is just plain dumb, I mean c'mon Plant, okay I can see where you get that (No I don't). But Morrison is just crazy, I'm sorry but I just don't see Morrison as good as a singer as lets say... Jeff, Freddie, Chris or Bruce. I'd love to see Morrison sing Run to the Hills with that much power, or half of Under Pressure with so much goodness, or any Soundgarden song, and I'd love to see Morrison pull off [I]Grace[/I]. The guys a wanker and shouldn't be in the final poll. Bottom line Morrison isn't anything special, and if someone can show me otherwise I'd be happy to hear. (I have the S/T, Strange Days, Morrison Hotel, Soft Parade, and LA Woman) Freddie is the way to go, da[SIZE="2"]m[/SIZE]n that Bruce he was tied last I checked, I will flip s[SIZE="2"]hi[/SIZE]t if Freddie don't win.

Has anyone seen the SNL of George Harrison and Paul Simon singing Here Comes the Sun (And some other song I never listen to) its amazing.

I semi agree but to be fair, if you look at it vice-versa, none of them could really quite do what Morrison did.
