Thanx 4 The Fish

Yes, yes it is wrong, perhaps an operation can fix that.

Their latest album sounds poxy.

The others are okay. Liked em more when I was younger tho.

Mr Alan, i appreciate your musical views and the depts of your emotions, but i seriously think it's time for you to get into the absolute legend that is Tom Waits.

I wrote a song
I wrote a song for you
Sounds like everything else we do.
and it was all bland......

I really don't like that boring brutish pop stuff.


I scored on my first senior game of the season last week , then in the second game I made three assists and hit the goalframes on every side . I've been playing in co-ed leagues up until now and I never realized how much less physical the game is when guys play with the girls.

I also had my team physio-fitness appointment and I'm now at 9% body fat.



p.s.
I have no cronies.

Mr Alan

stop with all the ****ing bragging about football?!! this is the Off topic thread! I'll have to report ye all!

and PSI, you have plentys of cronies i'd imagine.

Coldplay have an ability to write excellent songs that not many bands have imo, see for example the Scientist, or this one below, beautiful song....

Mr Alan

During all that talk last night about Morello and the ninties grunge/rock bands, i forget to mention the coming together of two former greats in Audioslave, who i actually do quite like, their first album anyway.

good tune.

I think you will find I was only half bragging. And the most important part of the post is the fact I can now fit into everything I've owned since I was 16.

I have no cronies nor do I want any. I have two family members on boards, but I seriously doubt they would be my cronies online when they barely agree with me in Real Life (tm).

Coldplay suck. Big Time. That is an offical soccer forum policy. Don't make me put it in the charter.

If you like Cornell you should check this out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lln5i1N3J8g

Its Temple of The Dog. A band essentially comprising of the members of Pearl Jam(currently) and Cornell, don't actually have their album but that song kicks ass.


And how about some more Eddie Vedder with the Boss for the craic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4J54_MvGL0

Mr Alan

eddie vedder is a good singer, but he really pissed me off before so we are no longer on speaking terms.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

How so? The pissing off i mean

missingtime

I'm butting in here a bit but i feel i should tell you all to go listen to The National.
Ye probably have but...
Secret Meeting is one song that stops me in my tracks everytime i hear it.

YES!!!! Finally someone knows who they are! I posted a thread on them in the music forum and it got zero replies. Their latest album is class.

+1 on The National too.

I used to love Soundgarden,(and obviously RATM as mentioned before) and i loved Audioslaves first album, seen them live just after they released it and it was an awesome gig. But they never really progressed as a band, and it looked like they were just in it for the cash and not a long term deal to be honest, especially when they didnt tour with their 2nd or 3rd album (forget which!)

Mr Alan wrote: »

Is he really a good singer though? Pearl jam are great, and they have an great sound, but how many of his songs have you had to listen to about 29 times before you understood a few lines of it? Far be it for me to critisise the man, but some of his singing is very muffly, which is obviously his style. I focking love Corduroy and Alive, ah feck if i started listing off songs id be here for a while.

How rude of me....good morning!

Soccer-ball, LOL.....Did you make some offensive formation plays to get the target ball into the line of scrimmage.....ok im not capable of adding to this joke, obviously!

Morning all.. Most important thing about Soccerball is to have a good hussle.

Do women football teams shower together the same way men do? Like in one open area with a couple of shower heads.

Apparently not. I asked this question of two housemates in college who played on the football team. They said that in some circumstances there is communal showering but even this can be ruined by some fridgid women wearing togs into the shower..

Looking for a bit of imagination material before hitting the bed there Xavi? Obviously they shower together, taking turns to wash each others chests in a slow sensual way........

most of them wear their kit to the shower from my investigations (asking girls....i didnt set up camp in the ceiling with a camera, honest!)

Yeah and from what they tell me, the ones that shed their kit for the showers are mostly the ones that would look far better with a boiler suit and welding mask on.

heh I think it may well have been your thread that introduced me to them, I can't remember how I heard em and I wouldn't exactly be clued in to Australian music so...

Their new album is great alright although it was Beware Wolf that made me stop and actually give their stuff a proper once over.

Not in the States. My team's sports clubhouse have benches in the locker room shower cubicles and full length stained glass doors. In fact, we have waterproof lockers in there too so we can bring our clothing into the shower and change (we also have an automated cleat cleaner, which is really awesome).

I do find it amusing that many of the girls who are shy in the locker room go naked in the sauna.
