And after drinking one of those which do you experience first; the buzz or diabetic coma? Both occur simultaneously! Thats the problem with those. Since its so sweet it actually tastes pretty good and therefore they can can be very dangerous. Thats an old favorite of mine with the emphasis on old. I very rarely drink liquor anymore as I have poisoned myself one too many times.

I like the one piece, where he asks a fellow why they are not concerned about terrorists running a train into the white house. Pat Buchanan was probably my favorite interview though.

I have the class read aloud coming up. What is a good book for 2nd graders (7-8 yrs old) -that is good for boys and girls? Captain Underpants by Dave Pilkey That book is on the list of books they would rather you didn't bring in.... No wonder my son has about 10 of those books! I like them too. How about some Roald Dahl. All his stuff including that for adults is great. Most kids know now Charlie and the chocolate factory and james and the giant peach. I really like "The Fantastic Mr. Fox"- I think i heard a movie is in the works on that one too.

I have not been as excited about a band in years. I thought I would point out/recommend both of the Liquid Tension Experiment discs. portnoy/petrucci/rudess and the great Tony Levin. All instrumental. really good. Thanks Tangdog!! They're on my list. Transatlantic's 2 studio albums arrived this morning. Will get to LTE next..... Love the Transatlantic albums!! Very Yes-like, not a bad thing. LTE next. Are you also a fan of Spocks Beard? Well Tangdog, I wasn't. I was very much a '70's prog-snob to be honest. But DT have changed that. I guess Spock's Beard are next for an aural ransacking. Any recommendations? I got into Spocks Beard by being a DT fan and taking Portnoys recommendation. Neal Morse who plays on the Transaatlantic disc was the leader of Spocks Beard before he left the group. I mention the Beard because of your "Yes-like" comment. To me the Beard are quite "Yes- like" in alot of ways, including great keyboards, great vocals and the big fat rickenbacker bass sound. Heres a link to the Spocks Beard thread we have here. I posted some links to prog archives and you tube there of Spocks Beard. I love all the Neal Morse era discs but would recommend starting with "V". http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?show...hl=spocks+beard

Eazy E was indeed quite the rapper. Straight outta compton is a classic and of the best rap records ever. Eazy's last disc ( i think ) was "Its On" and it is also very good. This disc was a rebuttal to Dr. Dres " The Chronic. Real Muthafuckin G's Eazy won that war! Rushhead666, I strongly recommend you give public enemy a second try. I remember saying you were not impressed with Yo! Bum Rush the show. Its takes a nation of millions to hold us back is light years ahead of their first disc.

an entire instrumental disc would be fine with me.

QUOTE (ReRushed @ Jan 23 2007, 09:38 AM) They were an amazing band, but they really took credit for a lot of melodies and riffs they did not write. That or they conveniently forgot. That is really true.

QUOTE (Hatchetaxe&saw @ Jan 23 2007, 09:19 AM) Transatlantic's 2 studio albums arrived this morning. I only have one Transatlantic DVD. Talk about a great project/band. I would like to pick their studio discs one of these days.

Mastodon is reportedly recording a song for the soundtrack.

I say yes. Who dance to a synthetic band..................

Snowmobies? Ice Fishing? What do you do to escape cabin fever? I let my kids hit me in the face with snowballs. They get a big kick out of doing that. My kids love that too! Its the cold weather alternative to blasting me in the face with their squirtguns.

After to a slow start, there is finally enough snow to open some terrain here in the mountains of western NC. Even better, I learned that Men Ski for Free at Beech Mtn. every thursday. Free and Skiing are two of my favorite words.

QUOTE (the_masked_drummer @ Jan 15 2007, 11:53 AM) damn. sorry about that. mikeportnoy.com is prolly a good place to look... nothing to be sorry about. your link is to a unoffical DT forum. I am pretty sure that the one at DT.net is still closed though.

QUOTE (the_masked_drummer @ Jan 15 2007, 07:48 AM) Someone asked before if there was a dream theater forum. This is the only one I found listed on Wikopedia: Dream Theater Forums I think that board has been closed. try www.mikeportnoy.com for a DT forum.

QUOTE (Dreamline @ Jan 12 2007, 08:05 AM) QUOTE (Snowman @ Jan 12 2007, 12:38 PM) "A change of season" are very good. Probably because it is from the Kevin Moore era of DT. I believe Derek Sherinian played on "A Change Of Seasons" Yes, Derek is on ACOS and falling into Infinity. I guess Derek was my least favorite keyboard player in DT, however his solo discs are awesome! Petrucci played on one song for Dereks last. Derek also plays in Planet X, I've only heard samples of them but it sounds killer too!. Edited to say that perhaps you are refering to the fact that it was written during the Moore era but recorded by Sherinian?

I'd say the Celebration was the second best seasonal beer I had this year. As good as the Celebration was, the best I had was Rogues Santas Private Reserve. Celebration did beat out Pyramids Snowcap, Samuel Smiths Winter Welcome and several others though IMO. Bring on the Bigfoot!
