Yeah, I was surprised too. I'll tell you, that Best Buy deal where new releases are $9.99 is pretty sweet. I'm still wondering if Neko is accompanying TNP on the initial West Coast swing of in-stores/Santa Ana show. Destroyer is not opening in Santa Ana, so I would assume Daniel Bejar will not be there.

Psychedelic/unrelated intro, weird high/off-key background vocals in the verses, harpsichord solo, catchy sing-along verse AND chorus... what more could you ask for? Harrumph. Lame? I don't think so. >> You've missed the freakiest aspect of the thing. It's a bubblegum love song, but the first verse is a better swipe of Poe's The Raven than even that first Edgar Alan Parsons record. - --Dennis Oh, once upon a midnight, dearie I woke with something in my head - --Blues Traveler / Run Around _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar  get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 20:17:40 -0700 From: Michael Mitton Subject: Re: [loud-fans] New Porn > It was very odd, BTW, walking into Best Buy today and seeing TWIN CINEMA > featured on their "Look here!

At the moment, cnn.com's front page has the headline "EW Review: Excellent Pornographers", and it links to a 2-paragraph Entertainment Weekly review.

The British metal veterans also endured periodic outages of the sound system, and Ozzfest organizer Sharon Osbourne came on stage afterwards to call Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson a "prick" for allegedly berating her husband, Ozzy Osbourne. Sunday's dramatic show in San Bernardino, Calif. was Iron Maiden's last on the Ozzfest tour; Velvet Revolver has joined the lineup in its place. "In 30 years in this business and after hundreds of gigs I have never seen anything anywhere near as disgusting and unprofessional as what went on that night," Ron Smallwood said on Maiden's Web site (http://www.ironmaiden.com). "The scale, viciousness and concentration of the throwing made it obvious that this was a premeditated and coordinated attack. Assaulting musicians while performing by throwing bottle tops, lighters and eggs at them from just a few yards away is vile, dangerous, criminal and cowardly." Without naming names, Smallwood says he knew who was responsible for attempting to sabotage Iron Maiden's set, audio and video clips of which have begun circulating online. "Those who participated or stood idly by and watched as all this went down should also be ashamed of themselves and I would certainly hope they never come near a tour with which we are involved," Smallwood added. "If l had any sort of problem or misunderstanding with a band working on a tour we were involved in I would go and talk to them or their manager -- not wait until the end of a tour and assault and ambush them," he continued. ##### ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V5 #203 *******************************
