 Topic: What did santa bring you?Posted: December 25 2004 at 11:50 |

Santa brought me a closet organizer, which I'm actually very happy
about. Organizing my closet will help to cure the disaster that is my
room.

"Phallus Dei"? It's crazy and psychedelic OK - maybe not as polished and certainly not as structured as later albums - but I like it! It's got flavours of everything (circa 1969) in there - you probably find it a bit overwhelming at first, especially if you're only used to Hawkwind, and not used to late 1960s psychedelia or Krautrock; if you don't like this, avoid Can or any of the other "virtually freestyle" German bands. Oddly enough, I was listening to it last night, and planning some revisions for my review, as it's one of those albums that feeds you little bits each time you hear it, but only over time - ie don't expect to stick it on repeat and ending up loving it! It's an album that will grow on you - if you let it
Santa didn't bring me any music - as usual. But that's because I'd brain him if he did - my musical taste changes on an hour-by-hour basis. Probably more often. Mind you, he brought me a book of humourous musical anecdotes, and "Scar Tissue" (Anthony Keidis' biography). |

Apart fom the usual smelly things and strange clothes, I got Clutching at Straws - Marillion Vapour Trails - Rush Eat me in St Louis - It Bites Trespass -Genesis ..and a talking doll of G.W. Bush. You press a button and it spouts such pearls of wisdom as 'Its not the pollution thats destroying our planet. Its all the impurities in the air and water' and 'Its certainly a budget. Its got lots of numbers'
Merry Christmas to you all! |

I finally got a copy of the x box game "fable" and i must say i am a little dissapointed! We were promised a totally free and open game in the vein of "Morrowind" where you could go wherever you like in the land,if you want to climb that mountain you can if you want to cross over to that island you can.........except you cant! it is very linear much like most rpgs at the moment and you are restricted as to where you can travel. On the plus side you can chat up chicks and get em to fall in love with you!!(oh well, if i cant do it for real..........!) i give it 6.5 out of 10 |

^ dude, I'm totally with you...I bought Fable the day it came out (I fell for the hype) and I was very disappointed too. On the positive side, I got KOTOR 2 for Christmas and that's about as much fun as a linear RPG can get (for the non-linear fun, I'm looking forward to ES4: Oblivion...if it's even half as open-ended as Morrowind, it will be worth months of exploration!). I also got Halo 2, so don't be surprised if my posts are a little fewer and farther between for a while (hear the sound of several members rejoicing). My wife absolutely loves DDR, though...I might not have the unrestricted access to the Xbox that I've come to expect... I also got a few books and some cooking materials...my Christmas turkey ended up even better than my Thanksgiving one, although it took longer...we didn't sit down to eat until almost 8pm. We took the bulldogs down to PetSmart on Christmas Eve; they got gifts and the big one left a nice stinky steaming pile right by register #1...I probably should have been embarrased but I was too busy laughing my a$$ off...

I also posted this prog related gifts but since the person that gave it to me reads this forum I wanted to make sure she saw this so sorry to the rest of you for the duplicate:
I received from this wonderful person whom I love very much the Keith Emerson Plays Emerson cd. A great CD of piano music which i what I really like hearing Keith play. Signed by Keith and also a Keith Emerson T shirt also signed by Keith. I also have tickets to see the third day reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg in Gettysburg, PA Sunday July 3, 2005 and the promise to try and get tickets to Nearfest since it is July 8-10 and just a short distance away. I was totally blown away by all of this. Thank you. |
