Why the hate for Gwen Stefani? You might hate her music but she started in a garage band with her brother and kids she went to school with. She writes all her own songs and puts on a heck of a show. It's not like some record producer picked some model to turn into a pop star with a staff of writers, coreographers and mercenary musicians. She's paid her dues and worked hard. Granted I haven't really kept up with her new stuff or really much of the No Doubt era stuff either. The Live In The Tragic Kingdom concert video is pretty awesome though. _________________

They weren't putting the hate on Gwen, they were saying that the revenue from a $5 music tax on ISPs would be funneled towards the biggest selling artists first, and she's definitely in that category. _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

The Imperial March/Move On/Ghost Town section is friggin epic.

True. I've gotten the impression from something before that they don't care much for her though, which is fine. I just wanted to mention Live In The Tragic Kingdom hehe. _________________

I enjoyed slices of the pre-"Hey Baby" No Doubt, although of course they got way too much airplay, back in the BIP radio days (Before IPod). "A Simple Kind of Life" was a great, underappreciated single, probably my favorite ND song. _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

It had a slight country feel, though Travis is not country......or maybe it didn't. hmm.........are there any live recordings of full band pre-Room Noises Trolleywood? _________________ I am Torgo.

I never knew there was a version of Trolleywood with the band. I would love to hear if it anyone has it. _________________ "I shall take the heart," returned the Tin Woodsman; "for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world." |

I'm pretty sure I heard it one time at a Brewtones show when it may have been a fairly new song. I believe it stuck out because of the 'hallelujahs' in it. _________________ I am Torgo.

i didn't realize that the band didn't make Any money from their record sales. i guess it was pointless then to buy 3 of the Room Noises vinyl records. |
