I think it's the opposite - Remember wht happened The X-Files? It dragged on too long, by the time it ended, I'd lost interest. Putting a ime limit on Lost means there will be answers. Some of the key questions I want answered are - Given the links between the characters, was their presence on the flight pre-arranged and predetermined? (ie - the psychic telling Claire he 'had' to be on the flight) Is the black smoke indigeneous to the island, or is it something created by The Others? What is the nature of the link between The Others and the outside world? Why is the island still invisible to the outside world after Desmond destroyed the electromagnetic field at the end of Series 2? Where are Michael and Walt? Given that Sawyer read the letters on the raft and specifically asked 'Who is Hugo and where did he get $150 million?', why has he not mentioned it to Hurley now that he calls him Hugo every week? What is the nature of the relationship between Mr Paik (Sun's father) and Honso / Darma? (I'm convinced he has something to do with it) This is by no means an exhaustive list.......

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime Love - Forever Changes

Spindrift and Armour and Sword are amazing, but The Way The Wind Blows is the one I always come back to

Found out last week that The Decemberists arer playing at Vicar Street in Dublin on Tuesday October 9th. Problem is, I'm flying to Sheffield via Manchester the previous Saturday to see Rush, and flying back to Manchester the following Saturday to see them again, so obviously The Decemberists are out. Are they f**k!!! I've been harping on about them on the board since 2005, and after missing them in Dublin in February because I was doing a show, I'm damned if I'm missing them again.

ESL - Great songs, bad live album

ESL - What should be one of the all time best live albums is totally ruined for me by fading individual tracks in and out. What they were thinking of, I don't know. Surely the point of a live album is to create the illusion of being there.

Here Again - Best song on IMO

See you there bro!!!!

OK boys and girls, it's time for Madra's convoluted story telling to resume. Many years ago, there was an unlikely threesome of friends who were discussing their holiday accomodation. One was C&W star Travis Tritt, another was Luke Goss, formerly of UK pop twin duo Bros, and the third Neil Elwood Peart. As recorded in Digital Man, Neil was interested in spending a night in Zion, and was delighted to find that Luke owned a modest hut in the Roman quarter there, which Luke was only too happy to loan to him. Later, Travis was on a radio phone in show, and a listener who knew of his link to NEP asked him about the arrangement - T.Tritt, Where Does Neil Stay In Zion?

Nice on CeeJ - This one was killing me!!!!! You're bloody good at this.

Can I request Kansas - Incommudro, A Hymn To The Atman, or if that's too long, Song For America. (First hour if possible, I'll need to be thinking about heading to bed at 2am because of work in the morning.) Thanx

May 23rd Dave Matthews Band The Point, Dublin June 22nd Peter Gabriel / Crowded House Marley Park, Dublin July 7th / 8th Oxegen Festival Punchestown, Co Kildare October 6th Rush Sheffield October 14th Rush Manchester

Voted the second option. They're my favourite band, and of they release an album of themselves farting Beethoven's 9th symphony in a cave, I'll buy it, but no band is above criticism, and no band is incapable of releasing the odd turkey.

Ceej, you are beconming a master at this. It must be getting near time to bribe Slaine and Schro to get back in here.

We are not worthy, we are not worthy

Hurley is the man!!. I think we're really getting to the meat and two veg now. Presumably Juliet will be closely quizzed on the background to the others, and how they know so much about the passengers of Flight 815. Will they now start to join the linking threads and realise the extent to which their lives had intersected before the crash?.

*****Please note, this is NOT a lyric***** "8-2-4-3-5-5" The US Masters has just finished, but you may not be aware that in the Netherworld which is hidden from our view, there is a golf competition played every two years between Heaven and Hades. Heaven usually wins, but this year, Hades reigned victorious following a long range putt on the last hole by one of its best known residents. God looked down from his lofty perch, and thundered "Burn Hades Rd, By-Tor Won Ryder Cup"

Fair play to you Rolinda, just when I was about to start tearing my hair out, you pop up and provide an arrow to point my way. I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, that you're brilliant, no matter what they say. Not, of course, that I'm suggesting for a minute that they say anything, I'm just pointing out that if they did, it wouldn't detract me or influence my opinion one little bit.

What A Neat Mystery. Hot!!! When I found 'mystery' last night I thought I had it. Back to the Scrabble board!!!!

My Chemical Romance RDS Simminscourt Pavillion Dublin Coming to this venue was like a blast from the past. I saw both of Thin Lizzy's farewell Irish shows there in 1983, Queen in 1984 and Neil Young in the mid nineties, but it's been overtaken by The Point as the main live venue. The other interesting thing about this gig is I was bringing three 13 year olds (my daughter and two friends' boys) to their first ever gig, so half an eye was on the stage, and the other half was on them. An interesting trick to master, but we're getting there!! MCR seem to polarise people like no other band today, attracting adulation and loathing in equal measure. One of the most depressing sights I saw on TV last year was MCR being bottled at the Reading Festival in the UK, probably because they came on right after Slayer on the main stage, and the die hard metallers took exception to their heroes being followed by a whingy bunch of New Jersey nancy boys whimpering about their mascara running.....or something. Neanderthal arseholes. Fair play to the band, they played through their set, lesser beings would have walked off the stage. The Dublin gig followed the pattern of the current tour. The band start as "The Black Parade", play the current album in sequence, finishing 'Famous Last Words' with a cry of "We are The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance are on next". The sound was a bit muddy, and could have been louder, the light show was superb, but the relatively small size of the venue meant some of the pyrotechnics had to be scaled back. The songs are really good, and the presentation was sharp and professional. Gerard Way is a great frontman, communicating well with the crowd, a lot more proactive than Geddy, it has to be said, but by the same token, their musicianship is nowhere remotely close to that of Rush. After The Black Parade, there was a five minute hiatus, during which TBP's hidden track 'Blood' was played to a riotious singalong, then the curtain dropped, and the band came back on as MCR, not only with a costume change, but a whole new stage set up, with the "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" logo as the backdrop. They played another half hour or so, starting with "I'm Not OK" and finishing with "Helena", not as satisfying as the first set IMO, but to see my daughter close to tears as she bellowed out the words to Helena, The Ghost Of You and What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison was priceless. Helena finished with the obligatory Irish flag draped around Gerard's shoulders, the lights came back on, we drove 150 miles home, me, a happy wallflower, them enthusing about what was "the best night of their lives". Result.

Jesus H.Christ, I have seen the f***ing light
