Good luck with the interface on that thing, I once had to wipe all the contacts and texts off one at work, without an instruction manual, I found it to be one of the most confusing and frustrating phones I've ever used...
Then you can stick with +44
Who will prolly disband any day now.
this has almost become an angels and airwaves forum.

Except this one doesn't charge you for nothing... I actually paid for that damn fan club when the band started. I can't believe I ever did anything like that, but it was because I thought the band was going to be good, not mediocre.
And +44's live show completely destroyed AVA's around the same time. I'm looking at the ticket stub now and the AVA show was July 10 and +44 was Nov 10. When Travis played with one arm. Now go ahead Prof and say how much Tom's singing has improved, and how much funnier he's gotten, and how he's been clean for 3 weeks, 5 days. But frankly, I don't give a damn because you're obviously a gigantic AVA fan, and that's fine. But don't blind yourself. Tom would be nothing without Mark and Travis, so don't even start dissing +44. I really dont understand the rivalry. Neither bands would even EXIST without each other. And I dont think +44 is going anywhere, their label just isnt giving them the funding.
Both shows are amateur when compared to the live shows of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, Weezer, 311, and Smashing Pumpkins especially. Those are real live shows. Ya know, where you see talent. And where the bands actually sound like they sound on the record. Not like a squeeling puppy.
Neither AVA, nor +44, live shows even come close to rivaling the entertainment of Blink shows. The fun just isnt there anymore. They're not fun without eachother. Mark is funnier than Tom, but they're both funny together.
I'd post my last purchase but it'd be a picture of a receipt for $1,099. To fix my car.
And I have to buy new tires. So add a grand to that.
Hmm, might have to disagree slightly. I saw RHCP live at Earls Court a while back, and I have to say, it wasn't the best concert I've ever been to.
I was actually a bit disappointed to be honest. They weren't bad, they just didn't live up to my expectations.
On a further note, I saw Muse at Wembley Stadium. Now that was a gig!

I agree with that. Out of the bands I listed, RHCP is definitely the worst live show. 311 and Incubus are always pitch perfect studio recreations with extra flair, and Weezer is just fun as hell and Rivers can sing with the best of em. He sounds just as great live as he does in the studio.
I'm seeing Stone Temple Pilots in a couple weeks, so it'll be interesting to see another reunion band live. The Smashing Pumpkins show is the best show I've ever been to.
I talked to Ryan Sinn on iChat a few months back and he said Tom's plan is to bring back blink for one final US/World tour as a way of saying goodbye. However, Sinn didn't mention when.this has almost become an angels and airwaves forum.
**** i miss blink
Or greedy. And I doubt Sinn would really know anything now. I'm sure Tom has cut him out of his life just as he did Mark and Travis. So how is there to be a Blink reunion, per say, if Mark and Travis aren't involved?
There will be no reunion.
M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 speakers. OMG, these are awesome! $138 from Amazon.com
Yes they are, and I got them from amazon too, one of the lowest prices for them yayya! Just make sure to change the RCA cable it comes with to something decent (it won't cost you more than $10) the sound appears to be better and the crackling noise when you touch the cable will completely dissapear. Shame the cable quality doesn't live up to their sound hehe
Enjoy them, they're awesome and play quite LOUD. Victor

Yeah, I noticed the crackling noise from the crummy cable. I replaced it with a Monster Cable I found in the bargain bin at Target.

If you want to see some REAL performances look up
Story of The Year, I haven't seen them myself but my friend who when to warped tour said they threw their guitars across the stage and were doing back flips off the amps. Apparently it was amazing.
At The Drive-In, They are amazing live. They don't tune their instruments so dont focus on the sound, focus on the whole experience.
The Fall of Troy, three man band that sounds like 5 or more.

Glad you did, makes them even better. I was kinda surprised with how crappy the stock cables were, only the power/signal carrier one that goes to the right speaker seems to be good.

Have you seen that movie The Counterfeiters. Its up there with schindler's list in my opinion. Its gives an amazing depiction of what life was like in concentration camps.The unique part is the perspective of someone being used by the nazis for their own gain.

I loved Starship Troopers when I was a kid. Its was definitely one of my favorite films and was very disappointed when they didn't continue the series. Especially because it was suppose to be a trilogy. While I wasn't a huge fan of the second film, Starship Troopers 3: Marauder looks good. To bad they couldn't get Neil Patrick Harris and Denise Richards back again.

I got both of them this evening at Best BUY

The real test comes at Disney this weekend.
A touchscreen Easyshare-these are very nice cameras.
Share us some photos you take with it on the MR forums.
I own a Easyshare C513 and it's terrific for any kind of photo shooting.
