  1. True, you probably wouldn't remember as much if you didn't...
  2. As a successful escapee of California (paroled almost 21 years ago! ?), I find it amazing how fee people realize that much of California is a dessert! Some of the driest cities in the U.S. are in California... Just think of what it would be if they hadn't stolen the water from the Colorado River? I've been to Mexico where you can see the Sea Of Cortes and how it obviously used to be much bigger in the past... People like to say I moved up here to enjoy four seasons (and it's true), but California has four seasons too! Summer, Earthquake, Fire and Flood! ?
  3. Actually more than that! I love the Discogs site for going nerd deep into bands. Here's their page on Colosseum: https://www.discogs.com/artist/97325-Colosseum I've got: Valentyne Suite (2 discs) Those Who Are About To Die Salute You Grass Is Greener Daughter Of Time Collectors Electric Savage Bread & Circuses Reunion Concerts 1994 Tomorrow's Blues Live Live05 (2 discs) However, this is one of those bands where I got a bunch of their albums to "one day" be able to listen a lot (which I guess is now - lol!) ? Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a Completionist and tend to try and buy all of the albums a band makes... However, I discovered a neat little trick many years ago where I would occasionally go into a large music store, find the manager and ask if I could get a discount if I bought several CD's. Often you could tell that they didn't take me too seriously and put out $5 or $6 off if I bought ten clearly assuming that I wouldn't. Usually, I left with 100! One obvious drawback to this approach is that I never really got into each album like you would if you bought one or two (I've never really cared much about whatever artwork or info came with the songs either). I will say, there's been more than one band that someone mentions and I have where I began listening and really liked their stuff then was very happy that I didn't have to impatiently wait for years for them to put out their next album (yes, Boston! I'm looking at you!). Eventually, I had disk arrays where I would import each CD into (a long story for another time). Yes, I will confess that I have grabbed some off of one bittorrent feed or another but, at last count, I've also spent over $40k throughout my life buying music! Heck, there's almost always music playing in the background every day for me so it was a priority (and I was making a ton as a programmer when I was younger). Kids now-a-days will never appreciate just how hard it was to even hear the bands you like or just a single song! I still remember calling up the radio station and pestering them to play something... Now, almost all of the music I buy are albums made by friends or others I've met online that I like and want to support (including a few that have posted here). *Wanders off to continue listening to Colosseum...* ?
  4. *Yeouch!!!* Good thing it sounds like you didn't get any in your eyes!
  5. Not sure why, but I can't even recall the last time I listened to Colosseum! (Decades???) Just made a playlist of all eleven albums I have from them... Already sounding great!
  6. Wow, a CCLarry sighting in the backwaters of the Cakewalk forums! ? I still remember those "special" CD's and DVD's that came out as either Quadraphonic or 24-bit! I wonder how many people had sound systems to even tell the difference?
  7. I stopped watching TV a couple of years ago too. Can't say I miss it either!
  8. You sure you don't need to call a psychic medium there Bob? ? ?
  9. I never got into MTV. That said, I did love the guitar sound on this song!
  10. This was interesting! I definitely learned a few things I didn't know about the song! Judging by the favorable "mistakes" and wild timing, it was obviously meant to be!
  11. What a cute a ss! ?

    Prime Day 2024

    It's the 16th! 16's not a prime! ?
  13. Snitched this from your Oingo Boingo thread from a while back Dave! Needless to say, that was one memorable concert for me!
  14. Watched yesterday. Yes, it IS hard to believe she's never heard of Rush or the Professor before but the funniest part was she actually had drumsticks with his signature on them! ? Good video!
  15. It was what I was taught as well. Sucked inside though!
  16. Oh, I know. I was just having fun with it! ?
  17. Wookiee wasn't feeling well over the weekend, hopefully he's back to health now!
  18. Simples! Pharmaceutical companies openly make lots of money off of Morphine, but don't from either her oin or co caine. (At least none they can admit to!)
  19. But is it a band member or someone at the venue saying that? ?
  20. That is the New Wave of doing things!
  21. Since you apparently can't search for attachment links here, I have no idea what thread I posted my version of your moon one in! Mine had the little extra on the bottom:
  22. I needed it for another place and figured I'd put it here too!
  23. This one has probably been made before, but I just made it again from scratch just in case! ?
