Also notable, coming in at the number 19 spot, are Minneapolis hip hoppers . . . what? I said Minneapolis hip hoppers. No, seriously, they're a hip hop group from Minneapolis. Stop laughing. No, I'm serious. Anyway, the 19th spot goes to Atmosphere. I am a fan. And if you call them emo rap, you are just giving away the fact that you have never actually listened to them.

The 1-2 White Stripes, Outkast punch is predictable, but I don't think they had much of a choice this year.

Anyone else having trouble with the spin.com website?

Until you've had sex on mushrooms while a band in the basement blasts through Soul Sacrifice into You Don't Love Me/Soula Serenade while a couple hundred or so similarly tripped out freaks dance and scream in the backyard, you really haven't caught the magic of late night tripping. Sure, I love the daytime vibe of jamming to to a 70s Help/Slip/Franklins, but there's something particularly sensual about electric lights and heavy guitar and freaks running around bathed in only the colored lights from the stage. Is there anything more romantic than to look out the window of your room while having a post sex smoke and see a guy dancing to Fried Neckbones with a 7 ft tall inflatable tube of Crest toothpaste?

I'll take it either way - night or day.

This is why I need to get a place with a huge backyard and a pool.

You are making me wistful again, Sebby. This reminds me of the time in 1991 when the Dead played the Silver Bowl for the frist time and I was sitting on the ground at intermission between sets and all of a sudden, my friend got the acid glint and did the big claws hands and started shimmying up while Free fallin was playing. I thought to myself "Do I love Tom Petty or has the acid just kicked in?". The sun was beating down with a warm desert breeze and people were playing cards all around us. They had those weird showery nozzle things around the perimeter and my friend started diving in.


bottom line: day tripping is excellent and yes I loved Tom Petty and yes the acid kicked in. I think I hav like five tom petty albums and Wildflowers is one of my alltime favorites. Thanks LSD!

I've seen Janes twice and they were two of the best shows I've ever seen. When they toured with Flea on bass (99?) they had these 50 ft high poles with strippers that just appeared out of the ceiling with the opening bars of "Three Days." Blew my mind...

Agreed. I've seen Jane's three times and they are the three greatest rock shows I've ever seen.

I was at an Xmas party on Sat where the host had a speaker system wired through his whole house and outside. We alternated between Kettle Whistle and the new OutKast. I must have such a system. I also learned My Cat's Name is Maceo is an excellent dance to grind to with chicks.

Dawn is neither night nor day.

Dawn is dawn.

I love them, but actually found them grade-school misogynist and annoying this summer--the writhing useless "lolla babes" or whatever the fuck they called them, slithering around the set in completely predictable t&a displays--like a lame Van Halen video from 1985.

Pissed me off, because it made them look like sad ugly-old-guy-in-a-porn-shop imbeciles, and Perry Farrell's so compelling otherwise.

Paigs,

There's a reason people say college is the best four years of your life. I still get back on the psychedelic horse a good amount, and when the engines fire at first, I recall exactly that feeling of complete irresponsibility and adventure that made those years so spectacular. But it ain't quite the same now. In many regards, it mind maintenance. I'm married to the experience for life and have to repeat it with frequency because it is the greatest stress reliever around. You have to blow out the cobwebs and remind yourself not to get too caught up in the shit around you.

The other thing I note is that tripping has made me more creative. I tend not to be governed strictly by the false parameters of a lot of my colleagues. Many people will say "Well, you can't do that." The people I know who indulge tend to instead ask "Why not?" I think you look at life differently once you've seen the walls breathe and touched a bass line as it wafted past you a few times. Or maybe I'm just a burnt fool waxing nostalgic and rationalizing brain damage. Either way, it gets me through the days.

You'll all be relieved to know that Roy Horn was released from the hospital and has gone home. No word about an impending reunion with Montecore.

No, the reason is, short guys tend to keep the women more satisfied, and so the women don't feel such a need to keep looking.

That's wrong too. They're looking. You just can't tell because it's all going on over your head.

Fuck. Seven days a week for 8 weeks? I took and passed two bar exams and worked until the day before on each. Sure I studied a bit, but I didn't get all uptight about it. For the first I had to travel to another city and just took some clothes and a case of beer -- if I didn't know the shit already I wasn't going to learn it in one night in a hotel. For the second I was 7 months pregnant -- the guy next to me asked if I could go into labor so he could assist in the delivery and "earn" a passing score that way. I laughed --- and passed.

I admit the skyline string was bad and I take responsibility for it ("my skyline is more distinctive than all the others!" good grief).

I'm ketchupping. But please tell me you people didn't start with the "I studied less than you. I didn't crack my book and walked out on Professor Whitebread's lecture after the first 5 minutes and still go an A+ on the exam" crap. Please let this be the only stupid post like this.

Because next we'll be arguing over which law school is the best.

False paramters? Can you differentiate those from the real ones? Bc I think thats a definition of insanity, which as we all nkow, occurs when you take acid nine times. Remember that one?

I remember a time in my life when I carried around a deck of cards with me at all times bc I had that kind of free time and would just sit in the sun with people and break out a game of rummy five or hearts if people were up for it. I made about $4.50 an hour but lived in a very pretty place and had no debt. I left bc I didnt want to end up that old forty year old guy with the leathery skin that skeeved out the just out of college set. gotta wonder if you are better off now.

I thought it would behoove us all to take anothe look at this bizarro picture with the mutant inbred tiget that was taken away from its mother a few months too early.

Isn't the cast boycotting it for some reason? I heard something about that. (note - I did not read your link - my question could be answered in that)

Edited to note that in fact, that is basically all the link is about. Neat.
