Yeah, so a woman was shot in her minivan taking her kids to school this morning 300 FREAKIN' FEET FROM MY FRONT DOOR!!!

Wife's a mess since she saw the aftermath. I gotta follow up with that asshole City Councilor who sees more political appeal in fightin cell towers than protecting his constituents. I wrote him a long letter a couple months ago (unanswered, mind you) speaking of just this type of activity.
 
Waitwaitwait... Why am I the only one who thinks Ghost Reveries is awesome? I'm in love with that album. I mean, I love Still Life, Blackwater, Damnation, and Deliverance just as much, but GR is great! "Beneath the Mire" and "The Baying of the Hounds" are already worth the money for the CD, and the rest of the songs are just as good.

You're not alone!:kickass:

That is absolutely horrifying. Do you know why it happened?:ill:

2. Wicked
3. Church of the Machine
4. Communion and the Oracle
5. Awakenings
6. Of Sins and Shadows

Awakenings. <3

When they come over hear, I so hope they play that.

Id love to hear songs 3,4,5 :kickass: also ive been listening to The Odyssey alot latley and i think incantations of the apprentice,the turning,or king of terrors
would be great for the upcoming american tour
 
There was a guy on a mailing list I was on who really tried to get me into Opeth. Can't get past the growlies, unfortunately, and he would have a fit everytime I called them BLOWpeth.....Jax knows who I'm talking about....Have you heard from Outtie recently, Jax?

Nope, I haven't talked to Jason in a couple of years..I should call him & see wtf he's doing. Last I heard he'd gone back to school..
 
I'm joining the Ghost Reveries support group. I love that album and I'm extremely excited for Watershed. I have a feeling it's gonna be a really awesome release.

I think Still Life is my favourite Opeth album overall. I wish it had the production GR does...
 
I'm curious what you guys think about this video of Mike Huckabee. There is a chance he could become our (if you live in America.) new president or more likely vice president.

I feel the same way, but have you seen them perform it live? It smokes! They should have recorded THAT version for the album.
I saw them about 2 years ago, but I can't recall if I liked it any better live...I probably did because the entire gig was great :)

@noble savage, that's exactly why Huckabee scares me, or any candidate/politician like him...they don't seem to understand or care about the separation of church and state. Bill Maher (who's basically my hero :)) commented recently that while Huckabee is a likeable guy, he finds his stance on changing the Constitution to fit the Bible to be extremely arrogant...can't say I disagree.

Personally? (And it doesn't make an ounce of difference what I think cos I'm not American ;) ) I'd have to agree, but you already knew that... :p

Knowing your stance, I can see how you wouldn't though...

I did think it hilarious though what Huckabee said when he announced that Chuck Norris would be secretary of defense though... :lol:
 
Here it is:

Though it cut off the part where Huckabee said something along the lines of- "And I've got an announcement that'll make Osama Bin Laden and Al Kaieda (sp?) run like sissies!" :lol:
