Hi, Ken. Might not stay long at this party. Playlist comments developed weird vibe last Friday, and I also started getting a lot of that URL loading nonsense on bottom L. and bottom R. of browser when playlist pages are opened. But I'll be listening most of the day regardless.

I remember asking my dad what did "Jones" mean after hearing both of those songs as a kid. As I remember his definition wasn't bad, it made kid sense at the time.

I'm bored. I want to hear "Bored" by Destroy All Monsters. They're cool. But I'm sure you have things you want to play. I've never requested a song and I feel guilty for doing that because of The Catholics. So I actually never made a request. I take it back.
10:24am
Michael:
Note: Cheech and Chong were notorious joke thieves...so hearing how much they used of "Love Jones" is completely unsurprising.
10:24am
ricardo montalban:
You mean that's not a Henry Rollins outtake?
10:25am

I'm with you, Yvonne. Requests are a tricky thing except for the chosen ones.

10:27am
Vivian:
Speaking of smoking, I want to get the boards opinion on something. During my book club meeting, smoking somehow came up. I made a comment about how shot my lungs are due to my parents' smoking. Our new member asked me if I smoked. I told her 'No, I find it disgusting'. Found out she smokes. I apologized later if I offended her but should I have said simply 'No' to her question?

I had no idea that Basketball Jones had an antecedent. You learn something new every day
10:27am
Andrew Waterloo:
Oh, that kind of bat
10:28am
vanya:
the classic informal way of using something instead of patronimic is Батькович (bat`kovich) - "daddy`s". but normally you don`t use now patronimic in informal situations )
10:29am
Jay/ London:
@ Lewis do you mean the sound of music one the bozo's do ?
10:29am
Cecile:
kat, anytime you want to have it out with me, I'm ready.
I'll be in the alley.
10:29am

Oops, Darrell, s.b.
10:29am
Sam:
First you have a live crucifiction - now you're handing out bats?? Why so much violent rage, Ken?
10:29am
Andrew Waterloo:
@Vivian, you answered honestly. It's not like you made a bunch of defamatory statements about smokers.
10:29am
Cecile:
these antlers are amazing.
10:29am
kat330:
What bee's in your bonnet? Chill.
10:29am
Yvonne Szymczak:
I think it's ok to have a strong opinion, about smoking. Smoking is bad for you. Sometimes it's good to remind smokers that smoking is bad because they forget because they like smoking so much. Who cares if you offended them. I doubt they hate you. You're polite for apologizing, Vivian.
10:30am
Neg-guh-tor:
How bout some Seals
10:30am
Cecile:
yeah, ok, miss passive-aggressive queen.
10:30am

if she's a real smoker, she already knows how disgusting it is.
10:31am
kat330:
How about we hear "Birdhouse in Your Soul"?
10:32am
Yvonne Szymczak:
I think my new favorite thing is message boards. For now. It's a good thing. I wish Martha Stewart was on the message board. She might have some good cooking ideas. Birdhouse In Your Soul is a REALLY GOOD SONG! I think.
10:32am
Neg-guh-tor:
And Cofts?
10:33am
Neg-guh-tor:
And Crofts?
10:33am

Vivian,
I would have said "No, I choose breathing" and then give the speech-talk about maggots. If she would reacted with shock then I'd simply say I was just reciting an anti-smoke poem by an unknown poet. That would also give the opportunity to earn some positive kudos from the book club.
10:34am
Bryant:
So the OOIOO track UMO is a cover of this, right?
10:35am
Vivian:
Thanks folks. I wasn't sure if I committed a social slip-up.
I also like and hate smoking and I like Birdhouse in Your Soul. I also like electrcity. A lot. I prefer AC. Which one do you like? AC or DC? Continue the conversation!

Codo delle Lavandaie II is one of the few 2 or three songs that really hypnotize me, or at least leaves me in a trance state. The story behind the lyrics are also very good. It is based in the real Cinderella story written dozens of years ago by a famous Italian writer. If you have the chance, check the live opera on youtube!
...And what can I say about the OOIOO blasphemy? ¬¬'
Glow for the female of the species,
Turn on the ACs and the DCs
10:39am
Yvonne Szymczak:
I like AC in the summer especially now that I have an AC and the apartment gets REALLY hot but then we have to pay the ELECTRICITY bill. I don't like the electricity because it generates the bill but I like staying cool. I would rather spend my dollerz on shooz. What's DC? I've been to Washington DC once. I recommend seeing the botanical gardens. It's really humid. They don't have an AC because tropical plants don't like that. They might die.
You shouldnt feel bad about that Yvonne. If I could "vote up" your comments, I would definitely do that.
