You should take a round trip east sometime to Arkansas and we can grab a beer.

Edit: A S&W J-Frame .38 Airweight.

sorry for you buying a .38.

you can maybe beat them to death with it, 38 is so bad at missing.

If it's to protect your house against thieves, it'll be accurate enough unless you live in a mansion or something.

you could get 45 for not much more american dollars and it is much better.

a big gage shotgun would be a good than 38 and cheap.

[curio]

You bought it for the walkie-talkie feature to use during your camping trips, didn't you?

Did you purchase these on vinyl or on CD? And if it's the former, did you purchase British first edition pressings of them, or do you have more of a casual interest?

A Day in the Life + the entire Abbey Road album is pure sex in sonic form.

I wouldn't quite put it that way, but they're both very enjoyable. I've always found Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to be slightly overrated when it comes to actual musicality. The album is, without a doubt, a stunning technical achievement, evidenced as much by the end-result as Mark Lewisohn's The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, which details all the overdubs and reverse-recording work that went into making the album. Paul McCartney in particular was reaching stratospheric artistic heights during this time (and for the next two albums). However, I've always found A Hard Day's Night and Revolver to be far more enjoyable albums. Perhaps Pepper's is comparatively superior whilst on drugs, but I have never experienced it as such.

As far as "sex in sonic form" is concerned, The Beatles' work was comparatively rarely sexually tinged. The words may have subtly and not-so-subtly referenced sex (and there are certainly numerous sexual Beatles performances), but I've found that sonically the melodies and vocals were more sterile than, say, Elvis Presley's work, who in the Fifties was as much oozing sex as he was talent. For evidence, listen to something like "So Glad You're Mine" or "Anyplace Is Paradise," both on Elvis (1956). The Rolling Stones were also far more sexual in their music than The Beatles, starting with "I Just Want to Make Love to You" on The Rolling Stones (England's Newest Hitmakers) (1964), their debut UK album, but also in their bigger hits like the 1965 blockbuster, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."

On CD, just casual really, but I enjoy reading up on Beatlemania. Man you take the fun right out of listening to music . As for the 'sonic form' stuff I don't think he actually meant the words were sexual, he just liked'em a lot. I enjoy Revolver too, was thinking of buying either Revolver or Magical Mystery Tour next, but can't decide . Or maybe I'll check out some Pet Sounds.

I don't think Sgt. Peppers is the greatest album by the Beatles, either, but A Day in the Life is a fantastic song off the record. You misread what I meant by "sex in sonic form" - it's just pleasing to my ears, not that I'm turned on by Lennon's shouts. I'm surprised that you like A Hard Day's Night though, I find it one of the less attractive records from the Beatles like most of their early stuff; the best album from pre-Rubber Soul is Help, in my opinion.

After numerous issues with my Realtek ALC861 codec, today I purchased a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music OEM for about a hundred dollars.

On CD, just casual really, but I enjoy reading up on Beatlemania. Man you take the fun right out of listening to music .

I asked because the picture you included was of a re-issue of the vinyl LP (the CD doesn't have the yellow "Stereo" bar at the top), so I was curious if that was what you purchased. Of those two albums, naturally I prefer Revolver, which was actually recorded as an album, as opposed to Magical Mystery Tour, which was an American compilation of a British EP of the same name (the soundtrack to the film) and a collection of singles. If you're considering purchasing Pet Sounds, I suggest you hold out until August 29, when Capitol will release two slightly different two-disc fortieth anniversary editions of The Beach Boys' classic album. It's not quite as interesting as Revolver, but it's not half bad, either.

Yeah, I figured that's what you meant with your "sex"-comment about half-way through writing my post, but I decided to finish it anyway. I chose A Hard Day's Night because it so well captures the joys of youth, innocence, and joie de vivre in so many of its songs. "Can't Buy Me Love" may not be a sophisticated piece of poetry but it gets the point across, while making the listener want to get up and dance. The same is true for many of the album's tracks, which harken back to a time when every song didn't have to mean something, it just had to be fun to listen to. The sound is consistent throughout the album, with the electric guitar being prominent but a nylon string acoustic also making an appearance on "If I Fell" and "And I Love Her." The album is brilliantly sung and played throughout and comes second only to Revolver due to the latter's bold and successful experiments with a wide range of sounds. A Hard Day's Night, like Revolver, was also a huge leap forward from its prequels (With The Beatles and Please Please Me), being their first to feature only their own compositions (all composed by Lennon & McCartney), seven of which were featured in the film of the same name. A stunning year for the group, featuring a film, tours, writing and recording, with a stunning album to fill the summer months before the comparatively mediocre Beatles for Sale would hit in December.

I sold my truck and I had to dig out my 5yr old Kona NuNu and fix her up.

Here is a new helmet, Shimano dual purpose clipless\platform pedals and a wrench to switch pedals all from Bike Nashbar. I have a quick question if someone can answer it. When I take off the pedals on my bike, do I untighten them counter clockwise? My current pedals have been on my bike for a long time and I don't want to strip the threads on the crank trying to force it off.

[Shoey Peachew]

^Nevermind, I figured it out.
