Subject: Re: [loud-fans] online CD retailers? CDUniverse used to be my favorite for price and selection until CDNow started their frequent buyer program (those were the days). CDUniverse now seems to be cheaper than most until you check out. They make up for low prices on the S&H. Being north of the border, I've been using Towers for all my hard-to-find-locally purchases since they cap shipping at $4.95. - --- Roger Winston wrote: > So, who's the best online retailer for CDs these days?

Ack. I saw the first Veritas: The Quest and came to the conclusion that it is the future of television. It's as if someone wrote a program where you feed in desired elements (Indiana Jones of the CIA and his high school age son) and the computer spits out a script. I have seen lots of bad TV, and I was amazed at how bad this was. Russ np: Steve Howe, Skyline - ...must...stay...awake...

Well, wait a minute. Maybe they never did... You got it. Mel Brooks earns a "rarely funny" to put with Wilder's "never funny" in their films together, and I hated Wilder in the Pryor movies. The things I liked about the movie of WILLIE WONKA were all straight out of the book and had little to do with Wilder. >And you neglected to write down the names of these groups? I didn't know on the front end that it was going to be that memorable -- more like "oh, here's a bad hair metal block." But thanks to the VH-1 Classic message boards, I can now relate these group names to you: * Van Halen-alike: Autograph * Guns 'n' Roses-alike: Lillian Axe * Rush/Styx-alike (more of the latter, IIRC, including a Dennis De Young character and a Tommy Shaw character): Saga >I once told my friend Steve that the Cult annoyed me because Ian Astbury >wore not only Jim Morrison's voice, but also his hat.
