They had this on in Borders the other day. Was sounding really good while I sipped my coffee and checked out books that I may someday buy off of Amazon.com.
Definitely on my short list of discs to pick up in the next few weeks!

^I'm really looking forward to their new album next month!! I have a major obsession with Wintertime by Yeasayer. I'd post the lyrics, but I'm fairly certain most of them are not in English (and possibly just gibberish). But full track is on last FM should anyone be in the mood for something truly unique: www.last.fm/music/Yeasayer/_/Wintertime

Cool.
I've been though this process with DVDs before, the steps are pretty much the same for internet video/audio. I should also mention that sometimes the easiest way to do it is to connect the line out and line in ports on your sound card and record that way. I know that sounds silly, but not all comps can do a "WhatUHear" recording...

You should give audacity a try. It is a free (and awesome) bit of software. audacity.sourceforge.net/You can use it to record anything that you can hear on your computer. It also lets you chop the sounds up into bits, and export to MP3 if you install an encoder. This link may help you out if you decide to try it out: audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=recording&i=streamingThere are many other software options to do this, but Audacity is the most complete in my opinion.

^Aw shucks Kelli, I must say you have exquisite taste as well!
BTW I need to watch that episode right now. Actually, maybe I will pull out the DVD and watch the whole season right now, hell I only have work tomorrow....

Yay for the Conchords. I can't wait for season two. Although I heard they ran through 5 years worth of material for the first season, and its been a problem to come up with new stuff for series 2.
The Bowie episode in S1 was one of the funniest things I have ever seen....

All this Christian Bale and Michael Keaton talk, I think we all know the real Batman was Adam West. The 1966 Batman movie will forever be the definite article. In all honesty if you haven't seen the '66 film, you need to do so. But make sure you are drunk or stoned, it is better that way. One of the best bad movies of all time. That rubber shark was genius, and the "bomb" scene needs to be seen to be believed.

Just out of curiosity, do you include the original Batman in that? I thought that movie was awesome and even today think that it may be the best comic book movie ever. Tim Burton really brought a lot to the design and feel of the film. All that art deco and futurism, yum! Hell, my man Prince even did the soundtrack. It came out in '89 so you may have omitted it from your comment. The other 3 films are total crap though, I'll give you that. I really think that Jack Nicholson nailed the joker in the first film. Heath Ledger has a tough job to do trying to match up with a performance that many see as definitive by one of the all time great American actors. That said, I am really really looking forward to the movie. Batman Begins was a great reboot to the Batman franchise and I hope they keep it going. Hell yes I love '89 Batman. No, I don't count the OG Batman in the same franchise as the ones from the '90s. It's in a class of its own. Prince is MY MAN, dammit! Batdance = brilliant. I suppose we can share his purple badness, headleg... he may be a tiny tiny man, but his ego knows no boundaries... Well then, we are in agreement. And there is plenty of purple rain to go around, unless he sues us both, Prince is big on the litigation lately. BTW: I think I should change my forum name to Headleg permanently, it is meant to be, it just took a few beers to realize this...

BATMAN! I sure am! Apart from Katie Holmes, I loved Batman Begins. They did it so much better than the '90s movies. George Clooney as The Dark Knight? I think not, sir!

though I hafta say that the ending of season 5 where she dies was a much better finale for me. Once again, I cried and cried... it was just beautiful. I was so wrapped up in Buffy around that time, so that was a big one for me. We didn't have UPN (when Buffy moved from WB to UPN) in my town either, so it kinda was my finale. I should watch my DVDs of 6 and 7 at some point. While it was low-key, I always thought the end of Cheers was really well done. It really stirred up a lot of sentimental feelings. I'll be a dork and mention Star Trek: TNG, it really brought the show full circle--literally.

Wow, that is quite comprehensive. I'm half a 90s kid and half an 80s kid so I relate very much to about half the list. Some of this stuff definitely happened in the late 80s though. I think the slap bracelet phenomenon (and ban) happened when I was in 3rd grade ~88, but that may have have happened different times in different places.
All those old Nick shows take me back. Hey Dude, Double Dare, Wild and Crazy Kids--Haven't thought about some of that stuff in eons. We have this network on US digital cable that plays nothing but old reruns of the Nick game shows I'm embarrassed how often a bit of nostalgia makes me stop there for a while.
I was actually just telling my teenage niece about hanging out at the roller rink in my preteen years and the "couples skate" and that seemed like such a ridiculously quaint concept to her.
And the thing about 95 cent gas makes me sick because I can clearly remember filling up at 88 cents a gallon when I was a sophomore in college, and now it is 3 bucks!

Yup, the adult swim seasons are really short so they pretty much run each episode at least twice on the Sunday slot (although they have a ton of different shows now, so maybe that changed). I think I have seen the bizzaro episode of Sealab about 10 times at this point (although that is an absolute classic, and I think Sealab is completely off the schedule now, but thankfully there are DVDs!). Saturday used to be all Anime, which I don't care for, but I don't know if that is still the case. I'm rarely watching TV at those times. I guess my criticism is very nitpickey. That is the fundamental conundrum of the spoof right? How much time do you spend staying on target with the source material and how much time is spent on the actual comedy. The couch was the best part for me as well, and also was the biggest left turn plot-wise. Yes I'm spending way too much time analyzing a cartoon. I'm only a couple years removed from giving up on my dream job as a screenwriter, and I have a bad habit of analyzing movies/TV shows instead of...you know...enjoying them. I hear ya. I'm the same with horror movies and certain comedies. I dont tend to expect too much, but sometimes, its like, I can't help but do this Also, they showed a rerun of the "Poltergeist" episode and made me wonder what you thought of that? I thought it was great. Poltergeist is one of my all time fave horror movies I mean,the thing with Carrot Top [img src=" www.btinternet.com/~tepp1c/lol2.gif"] [/IMG] and the other end of the portal being through Meg's ass [img src=" www.btinternet.com/~tepp1c/lol.gif"][/IMG][/quote] Oh my, that episode is pure genius. I haven't seen it in since they first ran it. I need to dig up that DVD right away!
