Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007 "An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system... There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human...

but ideology took over (in that case lefty notions about the military/industrial complex (remember that), the cold war, peace over war etc) and the whole thing got blown way out of proportion.

Yep, thank God that whole "peace over war" thing has blown over.

My advice is to buy a new extra hard disc - get an external hard drive that you can just plug into your USB connection on your PC or Mac (use firewire if youve got a Mac) then you have plenty of room for all your music. Im not sure what you mean about the 10 albums on one CD thing - but I guess your...

Which leads me to global warming.Clearly GWB is not to blame. I guess we are, as a species. And that's what makes me refrain from getting too worked up about it I really find it hard to believe the apathy shown by people about this. It should be THE number 1 issue. The point is that these sort of G...

But show me the scientific evidence that points directly to it being manmade? Hmmm ... lets see. Humans pump massive amounts of carbon diooxide and methane into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels and simultaneously cut down the rain forests which absorb carbon dioxide and turn it into clean a...

What happened in the 60's and 70's was real and was not part of this administration. But damage was done. I am proud of the repair that has been done and the fact that the tipping point on global warming was not only avoided, we will likely never see it. You have to be joking! Exactly the kind of h...

'Cause the Republican way is working so well? Mired in two conflicts in the Middle East, weak dollar, faltering economy, massive deficits (again), crumbling infrastructure, health insurance costs skyrocketing, loss of international credibility. Yeah, we need more of that. Not to mention their bigge...

Yeah, they do a great job on re creating the original soundwise. I see Thom Y is even using a Gibson SG. Though you obviously miss the original vocal. That bit in the original where Curtis sings "I'll break them down, no mercy shown" always sends a shiver down my spine.

Mindblowingly great.
Roy Harper from 1971 - Stormcock.

Looks awesome. I still havent seen Control - will have to try and find somewhere thats playing it!

I love The Criminal Under My Own Hat. Really accessible and it has aged well. You can usually find it bargain priced. Yeah, "Criminal...." is great , but I think I still prefer "The Talking Animals. "Proof Thru Night" is probably his best but you would be lucky to find a co...

Was just checking out the newly released collectors versions of the albums and man does the collectors edition of STILL sound fantastic - with lots of extra Live tracks too on each record, but the improvement in sound on STILL is just awesome.

Saw "Into the Wild" - thought it was great - very emotional, very moving and containing many home truths - will have to read the book now.

He should have done a Marilyn Monroe impersonation, complete with lipstick and wig......

alexv - its a conspiracy by the secret board elite to keep them - well - elite!

Armed Forces is the correct answer. Next to Imperial Bedroom his best record. EC was at the very top of his game with this - the greatest songwriter of his time without a doubt, the hottest live ticket in the world, hell, it even had a hit single on it. Chemistry Class, Two Little Hitlers, Accident...

Imperial Bedroom.
Its just about perfect. His greatest achievement.

ATUB ?? - Dont understand peoples love for this - dont like it at all. Its really between MLAR and Brutal Youth - I was about to vote for Brutal Youth because it hangs together so well as an album and is wonderful throughout - but now I think about it more , its really got to be MLAR. Other Side of ...

No, it doesnt dumb people down, but it does take away certain non verbal communications which can distort the intended message and message boards also tend to remove all the usual social obligations such as manners, being polite and an acceptable way of treating other people with respect to peoples ...

Yeah, where the hell is she?

Hop on over to the Aquarium Drunkard to pick up MP3s of the Original Chrome Dreams - and its a cracker!

haha! That was funny alex. :lol: but... Dylan could go on stage and fart along to his songs and people will still go to 1) be able to say I saw Dylan and/or 2) bask in the feeling that I am in the same room/hall/auditorium as Dylan. EC doesnt, and never will, mean what Dylan means. In fact he takes ...

Id love to be seeing Springsteen, but his "American" tour seems to consist of New York and LA.
