Peter Gabriel - Blood Of Eden (Nov 06, 2008 - 17:01) | hmm, of course not. govna didn't say that. but it's otherwise such a beautiful song, so it's frustrating that it's so completely unavoidably gender exclusive. clearly that wasn't the spirit it was meant in but it seems pretty understandable that a queer person should listen to a song like this and wish it were easier to apply to their loved one. i feel this way every time i hear the song. it's not an indictment.
and by the way, where did he mention making babies i this song? sheesh. procreation.

Augie March - Stranger Strange (Sep 09, 2008 - 08:23) | another imho two-cents: when you there are albums you can only buy from oh, say itunes, furthermore that have a limited-use lifetime, it's clear that there's more going on then whether or not one can *afford* an album or one is stealing. like horstman i'm very happy to pay for my music when i can actually find an album i like that doesn't have drm. but if not and it's available for download, i'll do that. i think i have a right to keep music i purchase, so i won't spend my money otherwise. i think that's stealing, only it's "legal." i see this as a valid and ongoing debate about ownership. no reason to get insulting.... 
horstman wrote:Well, thanks for insulting me, you . . . oh never mind. If I want to use this site, I will. If you think I'm a thief, fine. But I found it to be a good medium for listening to music that I might like without having to dish out 15 bucks to see if by chance I might like it. If I do, I go out and buy the album (usually). If I don't, I toss it in the recycle bin. Kinda like going to the library to listen to music to see if I like it. I suppose I'm a thief if I go to the library and take out a book to read? Same basic philosophy Jelani. Are you calling me a thief for that? By the way, allofmp3 is no longer operational in the United States and maybe the western world (you know, Texas). It was nice while it lasted but all good things must come to an end. Kinda like cheap American Gas!

disciplined? wow, to me it seems as musically all over the place as can be. like, "who let the stoners at the instruments again" showy and obnoxious. the toneless tulls.

Sodade/Saudade.....sadness? longing? nostalgia?

Jimmy Hendricks & Janis Joplin both died too early. I want Cantat back. I'm not excusing what he had done. I think he already suffers enough. He has understood.
