#6641 Re: The Garden » The NHL 2007-08 Season Thread » 984 weeks ago

Al Morganti of ESPN/VS is on a radio station here & said he thinks the NHL should do this every year. Went so far as to say Buffalo should always host it, similar to Detroit/Dallas always hosting a Thanksgiving Day game. I think he's right, as the surefire cold & snow makes it exciting. Also, with Bowl games spread out over several days now, there's an opportunity to steal viewers on New Years Day. Maybe host a 2nd game in Minnesota or Ottowa outside also, then the All Star game DEFINITELY NEEDS to be outside. This might really take off, finally the NHL has something to promote!!

They need to fire Matt Millen before he drafts another WR in the first round again.

a couple of those prodigy songs are pretty cool.    Its definitely an interesting comparison.

Ever see the video for one of them (i think it was SMack my bitch up). It's insane, a first person point of view (ie. you the persons eyes looking out) who does a line of coke, a shot of whiskey heads out to a bar, gets kicked out for grabbing a chick, takes a cab, goes to a strip club, brings a girl home & nails her... I used to have it on my old PC, I can try & get it off it if it isn't on youtube. I'll check.


EDIT: I can't seem to find it on youtube. I might have to ask my brother how to pull it off my old crappy virus ridden pc in my basement & upload it for you all.

I'm more interested in this record after reading this write-up... but for me, REM hasn't done much for 10+ years, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

I'm including Riyadh, Silkworms, the "new" KOHD and the covers they performed like "We Are Sailing", "Back in the U.S.S.R", "Sway", etc.

I think Silkworms died a horrible death. Wasn't that the really fast screaming song?? Absolutely no desire for KOHD III, didn't like KOHD on UYI anyway. Wouldn't want USSR, don't know much about Sailing or Sway. Rusttcb I would like Better Acoustic if it was all acoustic (a la Lies & the early NR demo) not the same song but with Robin playing an acoustic guitar, then all the other parts still in there. But yeah, I'd be cool with that. I didn't hear that rumor.

Well, word is that U2, Metallica, Green Day & GnR (NOT!) might release albums this year. Anyone care to discuss/predict them??

I'm really pulling for Metallica, I know they'll take a turn in some way, maybe more rock/classic rock style. Hopefully it's solid, most definitely will be better than St. Anger. U2 really needs to take a turn, which is something they're good at when needed (Achtung Baby, All that you can't leave behind). Hopefully they're right on the money with this one. I think they'll take a slowed down approach, with catchy hooks or something. Alot of 'One' Beautiful Day & Mysterious Ways style. Green Day, I dunno, I think it'll be hard for them to top American Idiot. That was kinda like their 'Quadrophenia' They certainly cannot go back to 4 chord punk, so we'll see. Oddly enough I think Rick Rubin is producing ALL of these albums (i think). So they should be solid. Lastly CD, honestly I don't think it'll come out.


Who knows, maybe some other big names like PJ & RHCP might drop an album too. Here's to '08 5

Songs we have heard only live but now their studio counterparts leaked,

I thought they only played 4 songs live, all of which leaked. Anyway, I'm torn on this, if we get 2 or 3 new songs, that's almost the whole album of leaks. Makes CD kinda useless at that point. Anyway, i wouldn't care to get another version of Better, or IRS or whatever... Wouldn't even bother downloading it. So count me as one who'd want a new song. Something we've heard of, like This I love or Sorry. Really though, I just want the album, something tangible. Leaks can be kinda crappy with some burned CD, it's just not the same for me. I'm old school, i like having & buying an album.

What do you guys think of the Winter Classic tomorrow? I think it's a very important game for the health of hockey in the US. Football sportscasters have even been talking about it, the first time I've ever heard them mention anything NHL. I'm pretty excited to be going, and would rather see an exciting game than a win for Buffalo.

Go NHL in the USA! Survive!

That game looked awesome. I saw it on my guide & flipped over but it was a commercial break. I flipped back to a bowl game & forgot to tune back. That was exactly what the NHL needed, and the snow seemed to make it legendary. Ending with a shootout with Crosby, I hate to say it but the NHL couldn't write a better script for that day.

Haha, yeah yours was was i never quite figured out. I never put it together russ/tcb.  I had no clue about Tejastech. Never even noticed it was basically Texas Tech. I thought it was something in Spanish or something. CC's is pretty funny, i always got that as some mocking of Chinese Democracy.
