Desipio Message Board

Ron Cedeno was no Freddie Bynum.

If you guys are looking for more doom/drone, ever try Agalloch?  They can sound extreme at times, but hey, this is the metal thread, right?  No need for disclaimers here.  Difficult to pick one song to link, but I'll go with -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQitsTvGvko.  Like most drone, it can take awhile to go anywhere.  But if you stick around long enough, you will be rewarded.  The riff at 2:33 sets the tone for the rest of the song. 

I've been having decent luck with Redemption lately.  It's a project from some of the guys from Fates Warning and Agent Steel.  The sound is more of that laid back DT-ish prog.  It isn't blowing my socks off or anything, but makes for a very nice listen.

Speaking of decent luck, I'm just now getting back into last.fm.  I tried their radio and I was insta-hooked.  So much great trance/chillout/downtempo that I've never dreamed of hearing before.  And reggae!  Even their salsa station rules!  So awesome.  I know I'm behind the times, but shit, count me glad to be where I'm at.

The first 30 seconds of the second link sounds like NES boss fight music to me.

Sold!

I would like to play the role of mediator between IrishYeti and the masses.  I feel that both sides can come together on a deal.  We can work this out.

But Gary is going to talk to the Ricketts!  Just think how compelling the radio will be on that destined day.

But hey, he built the 2005 team that apparently won a World Series.

I find this claim dubious and lacking in credibility.

Wish I could say the same TJ, Yeti.

both Disgaea 1 & 2 for the PSP which are the best portable games of all time

Ain't that the truth.

Just heard Gojira for the first time a few weeks ago.  I'm going to make good on that Neurosis recommendation from Jon later today.  I've been having me a good old fashioned musical renaissance here lately.  Good times a-plenty!

I'm not sold on Castro as a viable Major League option.  Don't shoot me.  Woah man, don't fuckin' shoot me!  Wait till I'm done before the statfags skewer me with pitchforks.

I think us Cubs fans are deluded into wishful thinking, much like we were with Felix Pie.  The holes in Pie's game were there, we all saw them.  We chose to ignore them, because he was Felix Pie, Cub prospect extraordinaire, and this time was going to be different, dammit.  This time a Cubs prospect would be a fleeting success instead of a faltering suckass.  But, it was not to be.  Pie sucked, we learned the taste of hate, and he was summarily shipped out the door.

Sure, I hope this guy succeeds.  But its hard to ignore his current shortcomings in maturity (all of 19 years old) and skill (more E than BB).  Let him cook a few years.

Ok, I'm ready now.

I think the Cubs are going to be a good team this year.

All I know, is that if a spot opens up, I'll defend it like an NBA player boxing out in the paint.  That's right, I will throw my ass into you.  Don't pretend like you weren't expecting it.

I never thought I would see the term 'drone doom' used here.  Nice!

This is not your father's Heavy Metal Friday.

So Morph can't dust off his Stryper albums?

To hell with the devil!

Why can't you people just leave Jon and Slaky to their courtship?

I like to meddle.

Fine, fine. I won't even tell you what Neurosis album I'm listening to. No matter how hard you beg.

You can tell me which album.  I'm looking for new recommends. 

Any open spots for a league founder?  Eh? 

I think the original intention of the league was to use 'unlimited', unless there was majority opposition.  We thought an arbitrary number would be just that -- arbitrary.  So we implemented the unlimited option, giving owners full say on who stays and who goes.  As mentioned, it does take the impact out of the draft, but that is the trade-off of a keeper league.
