This is not a reflection of the quality of the band, JUST their names. Even if you like a band, you can hate their name!

1. The Music
2. The Darkness
3. Sugar Puss

Also:
The Goo Goo Dolls
The Doors
Mike and the Mechanics
Sum 41
The B-52s
The Pacemakers
The Guess Who
Bedouin Soundclash
Hindu Love Gods
The Mudmen

...and probably too many others to name. That's YOUR job! :thumb:

Are we going to get any information. This is completely sick, most bands now have footage on their sites of recording, and updates, hipfans are getting hosed, i don't think it's fair at all. they think we can just amuse ourselves while waiting for anything they feel the need to throw down to us, this is horse shit. I've never been mad at the hip, until now. i check their site every week just to see something new, and..........nothing. not a happy new year, not a happy holidays, not a "here's a title for the new album", nothing. maybe it's just frustration , i don't know but it's really bothering me, same with the hip club, when's the last time they did anything with that, it's like the only time they want to associate with fans is when they're pushing an album, which isn't right. someone please tell me i'm an ass and that no one else feels like this. i know that PJ's tenclub is the envy of the universe, but maybe we should try something like that. ah well , i wait for your yelling, bye!

Well about a few months ago, i bought a new goalie helmet, because mine was cracked. So i sent the helmet i bought in Toronto, to London to get painted. I finally went and picked it up today and i am extreamly pleased how it turned out. I would recomend Derrick (the painter to anybody) http://www.gildersdesign.com/

Good lord...how can Americans tolerate this stuff?? Our Prime Minister gets hammered for MONTHS for every tiny mistake, bookkeeping error, or anything with even a HINT of governmental wrongdoing, and here we have this...


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pentagon auditors spent 1,139 hours altering their own files in order to pass an internal review, say investigators who found that the accounting sleuths engaged in just the kind of wasteful activity they are supposed to expose.

When the auditors in the New York City office learned well in advance which files a review team would check, they spent the equivalent of more than 47 days doctoring the papers and updating records from several audits, the Defense Department's inspector general concluded. Administrative staff, audit supervisors and other employees also participated in the scheme.

The fabrication at the Defense Contract Audit Agency "certainly violates the spirit and intent" of government auditing standards and rules on ethical conduct, according to the inspector general's report obtained by The Associated Press.

The fabrication was discovered in 2001, but the report on it was not disclosed until Tuesday.

The defense agency, which audits government contracts, is the same one that recently reported that Vice President Dick Cheney's former company, Halliburton, may have overcharged the Army as much as $61 million for gasoline in Iraq.

The audit agency ran up some charges of its own when its auditors worked on altering the records.

The task of rewriting the files was so daunting that auditors came in from other offices to help make the changes, costing taxpayers more than $1,600 in travel expenses.

The agency "is supposed to be the watchdog for defense contracts," said Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, a constant critic of government waste.

"Altering audit work papers could undermine the accuracy of the Pentagons cost reports. Falsifying official reports is a crime, and those involved must be held accountable."

To stop any fabrications in the future, the review teams only give 48 hours advance notice of the files they want to inspect. The advance time under the old policy was much longer.

Discipline was proposed for the manger who directed the alterations, but was never imposed because the official resigned, the report said.

Daniel Tucciarone, executive officer of the audit agency, said a second senior management official who "had not been forthcoming and acted inappropriately to conceal information" was punished.

Tucciarone told the AP that the agency took "appropriate disciplinary action in all cases" but added that federal privacy law prevented him from releasing such information about individual employees.

The revisions were so pervasive that the work continued even after the review team arrived to inspect the auditors' files. The New York branch manager directed a senior auditor to delete electronic backup files of original documents, the inspector general said.

The report said agency employees believed that "upgrading" the working papers was a normal and acceptable practice and that they did not try to hide what they were doing.

The inspector general uncovered the file deletions following a tip to a fraud, waste and abuse hot line.

This is not the first time that Pentagon anti-waste investigators were found to have altered documents.

The AP reported in 2001 that the inspector general's office itself destroyed documents and replaced them with fakes to avoid embarrassment in a review of its work.

In the L.B.U. album during Courage when Gord is singing "and piss on all your surroundings after the last time he says and PISS On it sounds like someone says Gordy right after, hence you hear "AND PISS ON GORDY"

Did Paul say it or did GOrd sinclair and was it meant to be a burn on Gord?
