Re: Reading the Bible for the First time - 3 years ago
New Testament was originally written in Greek. Old Testament went Hebrew --> Greek ("Septuagint" until Jerome translated it into Latin (mostly based on the Hebrew original is my understanding).by Here is no why - Mountain Goats
Re: Michael Jackson - 3 years ago
Yeah, I'm just reading the LA Times article now. As a local reader, I consider them only slightly more reputable than TMZ (said facetiously), so it's not looking great for him. I was just listening to some of his hits earlier today (for work, as it were). Whatever else he was, he certainly had that pop music thing down.by Here is no why - Whole Wide World
Re: RIP Farrah - 3 years ago
But still -- the official report is not breathing at the scene and that paramedics were administering CPR en route to the hospital. It's not like he's a fit dude -- so that sounds fairly fatal to me.by Here is no why - Whole Wide World

Should we amend this to be RIP Farrah and Michael? Or maybe we can wait 'till something more reputable than TMZ confirms it... Edit: Posted this before I saw what the above link was to...by Here is no why - Whole Wide World
Re: Anne Coulter is yucky. - 3 years ago
If I could make a living by saying retarded shit on TV, I sure would. I have trouble blaming her for gaming the system so darn well. Now, of course, I base this on the assumption that no human being could ever actually believe the things she says. And I have to maintain that assumption or Fox gets a lot scarier.by Here is no why - Whole Wide World
Re: Yep, This Might be the Worst Soundtrack Ever Assembled - 3 years ago
Yeah, but none of those artists have "Young" or "Lil" in their name, so that's something. But man, that's a thin silver lining. Even if you could handle every other band on that list, Hoobastank is hard to explain away.by Here is no why - Whole Wide World
Re: Which album to start with? - 3 years ago
Heh, but it confirms your view that ZM sounds like it should follow HGS. So, ultimately, you were right.by Here is no why - Mountain Goats
Re: Which album to start with? - 3 years ago
Maybe I'm reading your post wrong and/or remembering wrong, but I thought ZM did in fact come out after HGS? Minnesota is an often cited favorite song by many (certainly in my top tier), so it's probably gotta be reasonably accessible. But I think whatever your favorite album is, it's hard to argue with the Sunset Tree as an impeccable first choice. It's nearly impossible to top that kindby Here is no why - Mountain Goats

As someone with a lot of inside knowledge of this case, I won't comment too extensively. But I'm laughing my ass off. She could've settled for pennies by comparison to the actual verdict (as everyone but her who's ever been sued by the RIAA has done), and she was unquestionably guilty as charged. I'm big into intellectual property and I don't begrudge the recording companies their share.by Here is no why - Whole Wide World

Haven't been around here much lately, but need to pop back in to add to the choruses of "I got mine and it's omgwtfawesome." They are super awesome. Thanks so much guys...

QuoteDJNMahalaleel My cry for T-shirts still stands. There's nothing on eBay worth getting that I don't already have except for a certain cassette.

Re: Favorite Tours - 4 years ago
I think it's a personal flaw that I value Wurster as much as I do. But I do. And it really adds a lot for me when he's present. Edit: And obviously PPH times a million, but that goes without saying. I just really dig the full band feel with the intermittent solo stuff. Eh, I dunno, variety is always good, so I'm down with whatever.by Here is no why - On The Road
Re: Favorite Tours - 4 years ago
Even the non veterans should attest that 2008 was beyond badass, surely? It's got the brilliant end of the Heretic Pride tour in San Fransisco and the Kaki King tour + fun times solo sets when they were more exotic, you know?by Here is no why - On The Road
Re: Full Force Galesburg - 4 years ago
Consistently my favorite album. Sometimes nudged out of the way by WSABH and ZM, but still. I count Weekend in Western Illinois, Minnesota, and It's All Here In Brownsville to be among my top five or so tMG songs. The latter two I translated into Latin and Greek because I was bored for such great lengths of time in my classes, but that's a different matter. For me, the album is similar toby Here is no why - Mountain Goats

Re: high conversation lounge [Have you ever been high as f%# - 4 years ago
It's the nature of the holiday. I was not in a very coordinated place yesterday. Posting would have been hard. I kind of wanted to, at one point, and then I didn't anymore. It was also raining which was lame. Had to chill on balconies and the like. Saturday (ZHD) was way more fun... it was a weekend and there was more sun.

Re: Details on the Comedians release? - 4 years ago
But, since we have several reputable sources confirming that some will be available via mail order at some point or another, perhaps this would be an indication that they're saving a bunch/some for that.
