Which band is better forum...

[The Theory]

hard one. I'll say Green Day.

Jade Tree Records vs Nonesuch Records?

 

[philN]

Even though it is an offshoot of a huge corporate label, I'd say Nonesuch.

Jade Tree may have Pedro the Lion, the Promise Ring, Cap N Jazz, Joan of Arc, et cetera, but Nonesuch trumps all of those since two as-close-to-perfect-as-they-come records were released on it: Brian Wilson's SMiLE (which I will see performed live next week) and Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.


Hmm,

Joan of Arc, Cap N Jazz, or the Promise Ring?

 

[blackwasp]

Not really familiar with any of those, but I don't want this thread to die, so I'll guess.

Cap N Jazz is the coolest name of the three, so that is my pick.

GT One Menthols or Virginia Slims?

 

[philN]

Neither. Cigars. Or pipes. They smell better. (I don't actually smoke much though)

*Gasp* I can't believe you've never heard of any of them. The Promise Ring's album Nothing Feels Good basically started the newest wave of the "emo" trend, though the album was more poppy punk (not the bad kind, the good kind that you seldom hear any more). And Joan of Arc and Cap N Jazz are the brainchildren of the Kinsellas brothers -- some really interesting music and lyrics, though it usually takes some getting used to as it is pretty different.


Paper or plastic?

I do agree that pipes are a bit of alright, but both Slims and GT Ones are hella-cool.

I'll never catch up on music.

Paper or plastic?

Paper. **** the environment.

Modest Mouse or Built to Spill?

 

[philN]

Modest Mouse or Built to Spill?

Damn, that's a good one. I'll say Modest Mouse because I've been enraptured with Good News For People Who Love Bad News lately. I hope Built To Spill will forgive me.


The Books or Yo La Tengo?

 

[The Theory]

I am loathe to say it, but Modest Mouse.

and *edit*... Yo La Tengo... just for their version on Nuclear War with the children's choir.

Even though it is an offshoot of a huge corporate label, I'd say Nonesuch.

I agree about Nonesuch... their roster is just marvelous. I love Laura Viers, Sam Phillips, SMiLE, many of the world music cds they release are amazing, and they release most of freakin' STEVE REICH's stuff. Oh, and Wilco ain't too shabby, either.

a french kiss or a kiss on the cheek?

 

[philN]

a french kiss or a kiss on the cheek?

Depends who it's from.

Wilco or Uncle Tupelo?

 

[blackwasp]

Damn, that's a good one. I'll say Modest Mouse because I've been enraptured with Good News For People Who Love Bad News lately. I hope Built To Spill will forgive me.

It's all about "The Moon and Antarctica" and "Lonesome Crowded West". If you don't have these albums, I would consider myself a bad friend.

I am loathe to say it, but Modest Mouse.

Why's that?

and *edit*... Yo La Tengo... just for their version on Nuclear War with the children's choir.

I laugh so hard every time I hear that.

Wilco or Uncle Tupelo?

Wilco.

Cake or pie?

 

[philN]

Heh. I have them. But I have enjoyed them for awhile. It wasn't until recently that I REALLY started liking GNFPWLBN.

Cake or pie?

I'm all about Boston Creme Pie, which is paradoxically both a pie and a cake. So, I guess my answer is both.


Kurt Vonnegut or Douglas Adams?

 

[The Theory]

Phil, you pain me. Well, my lifelong obsession has been Douglas Adams. So I'll choose him. Even though Vonnegut's "Welcome To The Monkey House" was the best short story collection I ever read. (Though, honestly, the full length novels from him I read were anti-climatic). So yeah. Definitely Douglas.

pooping or peeing?

 

[foo-oswald]

pooping or peeing?

Nothing like a good dump...

Tony Bennett or Frank Sinatra

 

[Dying2Live4Christ]

Frank Sinatra


Matchbox Twenty or Goo Goo Dolls?

 

[HybridNation]

goo goo dolls

System of a Down or Metallica

 

[blackwasp]

Metallica, although I like System of a Down.

Mason Jennings or DMB

 

[blackwasp]

Metallica, although I like System of a Down.

Mason Jennings or DMB

Mason Jennings by a landslide. Good one Blackwasp.

Mr. Garrison or Mr. Slave?

 

[blackwasp]

Mr. Slave.

Devil's food cake or Angel food cake?

 

[philN]

Angel food cake.



Dictionary or Thesauraus?

 

[blackwasp]

Neither. I prefer to make up my own words and spellings.

0 degrees F or 110 degrees F?
