Canada
United Kingdom
Belgium
Austria
Japan

Australia
This just wasn't possible before the advent of the Internet. 5 of the CDs I got are completely...

Please don't post who you are ignoring if you're using it. :)
Of course if you're ignoring me then I won't expect a reply here (eh K.C.?) :D
How many people are using it for 1 or more members?
I do not use it because I like to have all the information possible...even if it's not very good...
I just picked up her "Best Of..." and it's fabulous.
Her voice is so smooth and just pours out of my speakers like sweet Canadian Honey. :)
A great collection of songs on Greatest Hurts and 2 live tracks for over 75 mins of great stuff.
For those not in the know, Jann is kind of a folky, pop...

Evil Dead - Book of the Dead Limited Edition.
The packaging is wicked cool, but Geez Louise I almost passed out from the vinyl fumes when I popped the shrink wrap off.
It's really a rather disturbing piece of packaging, but you have to give them props for putting it out this way.
Anyone else...
Hard to describe....mass confusion...this is the 2nd time in 3 days that there's been a hit & run in the same intersection.
There's blood in the crosswalk and 7th avenue is taped off for 5 blocks.

I've known this for quite sometime, but occasionally they make it so easy that it's laughable.
I acquired a subscription to Home Theater free as part of a promotion and I can hardly wait until April for it to run out.

I've been listening to this disc a lot lately and the soundstaging on this disc is amazing. In fact, it may actually be too amazing. :)
Does anyone know if this disc uses QSound or an equivalent? I see no mention of it in the liner notes or on the QSound site.
I'm getting staging way outside...
Anyone else see this one? I've been bombarded with it over the last 6 hours.
It's a virtually perfect recreation of the first courtyard fight scene with two women fighting over a can of Mountain Dew ala "Crouching Tiger"
Hokey I believe is the term I was looking for.
Douglas Adams' masterpiece presented in a lovely 2-disc DVD Set
ADMINS: While this review is based on a region 2 disc set, Region 1 will be getting this set in April, so I thought that perhaps Software was a better choice than the Regional area. Thanks.

Lou Lamoriello fired the entire coaching staff of the Devils today. Hired ex-Penguins coach Kevin Constantine.
I'm not sure I like this move, but the players have been lazy sons of bitches this year that's for sure. Maybe they need someone to kick their ass.
Crazy that the 2 teams...

Just got this SACD direct from London and it is awesome! I have been a FGTH fan for many years and have been through 3 CD's and countless 7" and 12" mixes of their greatest tracks, so this SACD was an absolute must buy for me.

Now by oldest I don't mean in terms of the music. I mean what is physically the oldest CD that you own?
I have a CD by The Power Station (remember them?) that I bought in 1985 and I still have it! Crazy.
Anyone else?
After a decision to drastically improve my setup in September, I think I'm finally finished and have vowed to myself to not upgrade a single piece of hardware until August 1st at the earliest.

Or at least add something to the rules & regulations regarding the ever-more-common practice of thread-farting.
I posted a rather long diatribe about this a few months ago and it really hasn't gotten much better, and it seems that it's the new members that are the most common offenders.
