That guy from the Devlins missed out on a great extra verse..

It's really awful. I've been listening and re-listening to this, the last time I saw him play live.

I'd never heard that one before; what a song!

I've just noticed that quite a few of those song titles get a lot better if you read them as including the record label name: I Need a Dollar Epic, Marry You Atlantic, Firework Virgin, Don't Hold Your Breath, Interscope, etc.

I'm really looking forward to this too, and I second how good the stuff off Drums and Guns sounds live.

Ah, I'd forgotten about that The Hour thing; I must try to watch that. The other thing I've been intermittently watching off of netflix is I, Claudius, which is only amazing. I was so impressed with Derek Jacobi that I even tried an episode of Cadfael, on the off chance it wasn't as awful as I...

Yeah, I find it quite bearably terrible too. Poor Noah Wyle though; if only you could retrospectively transplant him and his scraggly beard into Jericho. I've also been watching Sports Night, which I've never seen before. It's pretty spectacular how much Sorkin recycles into the West Wing--not...

Have any of yis ever had a problem with a Macbook Pro disconnecting/not being able to reconnect to a wireless network? My girlfriend got a Macbook a couple of months ago and it seems to happen to hers here in the house all the time, though never to my (Windows-running) laptop. The Apple forums...

I have to say, now that I've finally had it explained to me how it all works, I really like this game. It probably helps to have watched that game with someone who's from Pittsburgh though. Tension by proxy.

That's a great song, for the first line alone, which is not to say I don't like the rest of it too.

Ah yeah, apologies for dragging him into a thread about philosophy. I have the blurriest of memories of him -- whatever show I was watching wasn't what you're describing there -- and he mustn't have seemed obnoxious to me when I was 17. Surprising, because I'm sure I disliked more people when I...

Ah I thought it was quite a friendly crowd, but then I was standing towards the back mostly. Also, yes, greatest gig ever!

That video is just great. It makes making music look as much fun as it, em, actually is. I mean this in a good way!

That's lovely!

I'm studying philosophy too (and also procrastinating from writing this morning). I, ehm, really like the more analytical-style stuff though. Not that I think it's more valuable or anything like that, but I find I can write a bit more lucidly about it, at least. The seminar paper I have to write...
