[QUOTE=Interstate]Is it worth paying £43 ($77) to see BB King and Gary Moore (together) on tour in April? I know BB is a legend (don't know too much about Moore) but is the price justifiable?[/QUOTE]

Depends what your budget is like. If you can easily afford it, you should go. BB King is badass and Moore is also good and a rock legend.

As for movies this year, they have mostly sucked. I can almost count on one hand the movies I have enjoyed (not the ones that have been particularly good, just ones I have enjoyed). [i]Sin City[/i], [i]Batman Begins[/i] and [i]Charlie And The Chocolate Factory[/i] are pretty much the only good ones there have been. I also enjoyed [i]Hitch[/i] and [i]Be Cool[/i]. [i]The Interpreter[/i] was a fairly good movie, but there are normally heaps of movies of similar quality coming out in a year. It just seems better than it was because nothing else has been good this year. Sean Penn kicks ***.

Now, can anyone tell me some books I should read? I've just realised that I'm not reading anywhere near as much as I should be. It's not because I can't be bothered, it's because I'm so often dissapointed by books that I can't think of anything I want to read.

Have you read the Hitchiker's Guide trilogy?

br3ad_man 10-28-2005 06:17 PM

Yes

Robert Crumb 10-28-2005 06:19 PM

Read any Hunter Thompson?

br3ad_man 10-28-2005 06:30 PM

I pretty much like anything amusing or interesting. Last great book I read was "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lahane.

Dennis Lehane is a great writer. I think I've read all of the Patrick Kenzie series, and Shutter Island was the one set at the mental institution, yeah? He's a great author.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is great, very amusing. As is The Rum Diary. Both are worth checking out. The Great Shark Hunt also has a lot of nice pieces of his stuff. Not a novel, though, if that's what you're looking for.

RollerQueen 10-28-2005 06:54 PM

For clarity's sake, I thought [I]The Island[/I] was atrocious cinema. A sequel to [I]Boondock Saints[/I] is supposedly in the making, though, so that should be good.

Yeah, that's the one.

I went to a hockey game tonight. During overtime this player on our home team got in 2 fights within 3 minutes. If it matters to anybody, which I'm sure it doesn't, the game was Knoxville Ice Bears against the Huntsville Havoc.

I just got back from my school's Battle of the Bands. Every band was terrible.

Score.

Sam 10-28-2005 09:52 PM

School functions suck.

There are actually some decent bands at my school.

All the members of the [I]good [/I] bands from my school graduated last year. :/

Anybody have the Iron & Wine Bonnaroo performance? If so, you should talk to me on AIM.

6Stringer 10-28-2005 10:42 PM

I was thinking about getting it, but then decided not to. I'll consider it though.

JonM 10-28-2005 10:46 PM

I'm considering, too, but whoever's buying is buying for all of mx.

I got my Alesis Micron yesterday. Then I went over to a friend of mine's for a party/jam and brought it along with me. Around 11 o'clock his dad shut the generator off for that building (they've got like a little family compound), so I was not able to get my stuff home. I waaaant it.

Yes, you're working your way up my list. Once you get toward the top, I'm going to grill you on hippie music and see if you're for real, and then you're in the club.


YOU CAN FIND ME IN DA CLUH
BOTTLE FULL O' BUH
MAMA I GOT DAT X IF YOU NEED TO FEEL THE BUH
I'M IN THERE HAVIN' SEX, I AIN'T IN THERE MAKIN' LUH
SO COME GIVE ME A HUG IF YOU INTO GETTIN RUH

EDIT: Alex, that blows. It must have been satisfying to provoke the ol' general into shutting the power off to the place, though.

JonM 10-29-2005 10:37 AM

Oh man, that sounds fun.

I wish I had a buddy to smoke with here. I don't even have anyone to jam with here.

RollerQueen 10-29-2005 12:39 PM

Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

Death is the only way out.

Daniel! 10-29-2005 01:14 PM

I went to another ska show last night with mainly local bands and got my toes stepped on a lot. They're sore.

On a better note, I just downloaded Duke Nukem and am gonna go play it now.
