1. I'm curious about one thing:
What is "foo," and why are they fighting it?

2. While I agree the Foo Fighters are a great band, the correct answer is DBT!
That's Drive By Truckers for those of you who don't habla.

15. I think we saw Ani that many times.
The last time, Danielle Howle out of Columbia, SC, opened. Hell of a show, at the Masquerade here where Ms Uly and I met some years before.

I wrote about a lot of the local indie bands years ago - bet you'd have liked them too.

3. It's possible. I stopped paying attention to what's out...
when all the new bands from the late 90s and early 2000s started sucking so badly.

16. Everlong :headbang:
I'm getting Everlong and I'll Stick Around right now. I'll go back through and make sure I heard a bit of the other ones y'all named up there too! I LOVE how itunes lets you sample stuff, I've used up all my gift certificates but I can't stop.
I need to slow it down I think :freak:

22. The Foo Fighters are one of the only bands that when a CD comes out
I just buy the whole thing without listening. I know it will be good.
With iTunes you get to pick and choose songs now so my 500+ cd collection hasn't been growing in the last 2 years.
But Foo Fighters always get my money. They KICK ASS.
