Saw the new Muppets movie today with my little brother and couldn't help thinking of this and chuckling

Nope, you were thinking of Wolk. Trust me on this one.

It's still being sold with his name on it, isn't it? Don't tell me it's not within his power to make them stop selling it. I could have drafted a cease and desist letter for him... It really is a copout. All he really did was publicize himself while further guilting his poor completist fans into be...

I thought he had?

Hello there. I'm Declan. Let me take you on a rocket to the stars.

I'll start.

This package is rated 1.5 stars on Amazon.

Yes.

On second thought, I think she's older than 60, so I edited the post. I was having dinner with her daughter and she came in, saw me and started excitedly telling me about it.

She's the person who hooked me up with those tickets from when EC was coming to Buenos Aires. We know how that worked out

I'm surprised at the wide coverage this has gotten. My ex girlfriend's elderly mother asked me about it today.

Once upon a time there was a band that had a great adventure … which included a few scrapes from which none of them — neither Drummer, Singer, Keyboard Player, nor Bass Player — should have ever emerged with any dignity or self-righteousness intact. It was a jolly old time — a time when the Singer ...

Not necessarily-- there are a lot of lossless formats. "Downloaded music" doesn't necessarily mean 128kpbs lossy mp3s.

Are you serious? A vast majority.

Indulge me as I repost a comment I posted here on Sep 28, 2011 - It's going to be embarrassing watching this thing being reduced to clear...if good for those of us who will wait to buy! Persuading people to pay some of the outrageous ticket prices that featured for some of the U.S. gigs is one thin...

I actually count four different, recent versions of "Every Day I Write the Book". - The original "rock-lite" arrangement played by The Imposters recently. - The punky version posted by Natasha. - The Sugarcanes arrangement, with the modified chorus. - The solo acoustic version, ...

Elvis gets a mention on the latest edition of Jay Mohr's comedy podcast Mohr stories. He compares him favorably to Trent Reznor, saying that Reznor's cover of U2's "Zoo Station" was bordering on self-parody, while EC breathed a whole new fire into "Mysterious Ways" when he played...

"Gloomy Sunday" is only one of the most beautiful and acclaimed jazz standards of all time...

I was showing "Couldn't Call it Unexpected" to a friend a few days ago (the Live by Request performance) and she got strangely quiet. I asked her what was wrong, she said "I really like it. It's beautiful. I just... it reminds me of something else... I'm trying to place it." Afte...

Nah. It's a pretty sweet tune. Smokey, propulsive, catchy. To say it has "no hooks" is outright silly.

Yeah, "Go Away" is awesome.

Would love to hear "Green Song" played by the Brodskys

People skip "Hell Broke Luce"?
