  Are Sonys considered good CDRs for trading?

Just wondering before I open them...I went to the Future Shop sale and 50 Sony CDRs were on sale for 19.99...Sony seems like a pretty reputable name, it's not Cicera or whatever Future Shop's own brand is. I'm just wondering what people think...before I open them, has anybody experienced high failure rate or a short life after being burned?

I did a search for Sony CDR and couldn't find a thread specifically talking about good and bad brands (I found one about DVDRs), so I hope nobody already asked this.

So they've used Gems and Long Time Running for the last two New Years Eve shows, what do you think they'll use this time?

I'm betting the set will be very similar to the rest of the Canadian Tour, hopefully with 3 encores.

I'm sitting here at the office and what comes on the radio...Little Bones. So what so you say? Ahhh...this wasn't the studio track, or the LBU version, it was the boot that starts out "Beauty can't save the world, but a tiny tiny cat could...a "beeping" cat could". We get Hip on the radio quite often, but this was the first boot I think I've heard. Had to comment....move on....

  Beware of Bread

ALERT: A recent Cincinnati Enquirer headline read, "Smell of baked
bread may be health hazard." The article went on to describe the dangers of the
smell of baking bread. The main danger, apparently, is that the organic
components of this aroma may break down ozone (I'm not making this stuff up).

I was horrified. When are we going to do something about
bread-induced global warming? Sure, we attack tobacco companies, but when is the
government going to go after Big Bread?

Well, I've done a little research, and what I've discovered should make anyone think twice...

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming
households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the
home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality
rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and
diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24
hours of eating bread.

5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven
that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse.
The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low
incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread
and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.

8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder"
items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is
more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your
body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into
a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit!
That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish
between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following bread restrictions:

1. No sale of bread to minors.

2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV
spots and bumper stickers.

3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal
ills we might associate with bread.

4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal
to children) may be used to promote bread usage.

5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

Remember: Think idiotically, act globally.

  HIP MAKES ROLLING STONE 2004 TOP 10 Lists

So the HIP MENTION is pretty buried in this link.... and it's someone's number 10... but it seems the boys are there with our IBE !!!

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/_/id/6795933/elliottsmith?pageid=rs.Home&pageregion=single1&rnd=1104379901759&has-player=true&version=6.0.8.1024">http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/ ... 6.0.8.1024</a><!-- m -->

I think there is close to 30 critics.... to scroll through... so here's the critic who knows what's up!

RICHARD SKANSE
1. Terri Hendrix, The Art of Removing Wallpaper (Wilory): Americana-folk-pop's most consistently refreshing voice reveals her most personal (and even sensual) collection of songs yet, and fires fearless broadsides at Clear Channel and religious hypocrites just for good measure.
2. U2, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (Interscope): Yeah, technically, they're still backpedaling. But whether they're moving forward, backward or running to stand still, U2 remain timeless, and their latest "miracle drug" packs one hell of an emotional wallop.
3. Chrissy Flatt, Walk With Kings (chrissyflatt.com): A "singer-songwriter" with a rocker's bite and a wicked way with melody worthy of Del Shannon and Buddy Holly. Not bad with a Kinks cover, either.
4. Nellie McKay, Get Away From Me (Sony): Why split an hour's worth of music over two discs? Because there's too much talent, wit, charm and inventive pizzazz here to fit onto just one. The year's best debut.
5. Jon Dee Graham, The Great Battle (New West): The former True Believers guitarist's fourth solo album is half ragged, rocking and raw and half tender and wise. At its best (the title track), it's all that at once.
6. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus (Anti-): The Gospel according to Nick, chock-full of supernatural wrath and beauty. Staggering in lyrical wit and musical scope.
7. Wilco, A Ghost Is Born (Nonesuch): I don't have a clue what "pure bug beauty" is, but I'm pretty sure it sounds just like this. I'm also sure that no song has ever sounded better on an open road than "Spiders (Kidsmoke)."
8. The Real Heroes, Greetings From Russia (Rec. Center): Proof that prime Bowie and Cheap Trick go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Austin's Real Heroes are the best rock band in America you haven't heard of. Yet.
9. Kasey Chambers, Wayward Angel (Warner Bros.): Motherhood and mainstream success (at least Down Under) have polished away some of her gritty edge, but her one-of-a-kind voice and melodic instincts remain impeccable.
10. The Tragically Hip, In Between Evolution (Zoe): Canada's answer to R.E.M., U2 and occasionally even the Rolling Stones serve up their best batch of anthems since 1998's Phantom Power.
Reissue: The Kinks, Muswell Hillbillies (Konk/Velvel/Koch): The deluxe, three-CD import Village Green Preservation Society is a doozy, but all those bonus tracks pale next to the ramshackle beauty of Ray Davies' "Americana" album in glorious SACD.
