Sense and Sensibility
|
IMDB rating: 7.60 Plot: When Mr. Dashwood dies, he must leave the bulk of his estate to the son by his first marriage, which leaves his second wife and three daughters (Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret) in straitened circumstances. They are taken in by a kindly cousin, but their lack of fortune affects the marriageability of both practical Elinor and romantic Marianne. When Elinor forms an attachment for the wealthy Edward Ferrars, his family disapproves and separates them. And though Mrs. Jennings tries to match the worthy (and rich) Colonel Brandon to her, Marianne finds the dashing and fiery Willoughby more to her taste. Both relationships are sorely tried. But this is a romance, and through the hardships and heartbreak, true love and a happy ending will find their way for both the sister who is all sense and the one who is all sensibility. |

so what do you truly think about the middle wing fringe types?
who voted brown into office in massachusetts? what were they thinking? what kool aid are they drinking? fairness, moderation, sensibility, common sense thinking. does it make you ill too? thoughts
"Middle wing fringe types?". Gotta have a name for everything don’t we. What’s wrong with them just being tired of the sleazy deals and the arrogance of politicians who drive on even when they are aware that the majority of the American public is against what they are pushing for? Fringe types? How would you describe the actions of the congressional leadership? Did they really have the interest of the American public in mind or their own power. Well an opinion anyway from one of those ‘middle wing fringe types’, not to mention a ‘veteran’ (and you know what that means). Good luck to you

51% of MA citizens are now registered Independents and that has happened since 2006/07. To register as one you are generally a small government type, and he is one. BTW Brown is not a Conservative by any means.
He is more of an Olympia Snowe Republican.

Nobody is really upset about Brown winning in Massachusetts. He is a moderate Republican, for all the gloating that’s going on around here. He does one thing that doesn’t please the right wing, and he’ll be a RINO. Then, they’ll drop him like a hot potato.

If you could create a rock supergroup, who would be in it?
I saw this little exercise in Spin magazine back in fall of ‘04 (props if you can find it in an archive). The basic premise is to create a supergroup of your favorite musicians from the past and present, and describe what kind of sound you’d like to hear from the group and what sort of dynamic you think they’d likely have.
There are a few allowances and rules:
1) you can use people from past and present, and they can be dead or alive
2) the people you choose must be able to work together as a cohesive band. even if you love them all, you wouldn’t put prince, jamiroquai, and michael jackson in the same band because they would clash personally, they would all kind of serve the same purpose, and the band just wouldn’t work.
3) it’s not concrete, but it’s encouraged to at least pick a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, and a singer, and you can add onto that as necessitated by your conceptual design.
4) please don’t be unimaginative and say something like "led zeppelin is my supergroup" or "the who with david gilmour instead of pete townsend." the idea is to create an original concept/sound.
So, I’m curious as to who everyone in the community would choose for their supergroup, and can you describe how they would sound and how they would work together to create your perfect band. I’ll tell you mine to start off:
Guitar: John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra)
Bass: Les Claypool (Primus)
Drums: Thomas Pridgen (Mars Volta)
Vocals: Jon Anderson (Yes)
Keys: Herbie Hancock
Production/Songwriting/Sound effects/Guitar: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Mars Volta)
So I imagine this as a largely instrumental group, a combination of prog sensibilities (long songs, focus on the album as an art form, space/fantasy concepts) and a hard funk-fusion sound akin to the song Vital Transformation by the Mahavishnu Orchestra and the bass-heave rock-out parts of a lot of Yes songs.
I feel Geddy Lee would be more appropriate than Jon Anderson if this were the only style we’re going after, but I think he’d bring a certain softness and sense of dynamics that would work against the raw funk of Pridgen and Claypool.
I think all these guys are still alive so there is hope. Descrbie the concept of your band too.
woah this is an awesome question. well, here i go!:
Guitar: Jimi Hendrix… so its not the most original answer, but really, it can’t be a supergroup without hendrix.
Drums: John Bonham… the one and only bonzo!
Vocals: Freddie Mercury… he could sing anything and everything - perfectly.
Bass: Les Claypool… dang how could you not have him?!
Keys: Richard Wright… hello, its pink floyd!
Songwriting: Bob Dylan… i’d like to hear how all the other members of the band add their own personal touch to whatever he would write.
The types of music they would make/play would be just out of this world! but i dont think this band would last very long (just until their fame dwindles)… there’s just too much epic power between so few people, on just one stage!

Why make another super group when The Offspring have already accomplished that task.

Drums - I was gonna say Pridgen, but seeing as you beat me to it I’ll go with Chris Dangerous from The Hives
Guitars - Steve Van Zandt (The E Street Band), Kirk Hammett (Metallica)
Bass - Joe Lally (Fugazi)
Vocals - Matt Caughtran (The Bronx)
And if this "supergroup" recorded an album, I’d get Dennis Lyxzen (Refused) and Keith Buckley (Every Time I Die) to do guest vocals, Bootsy Collins to play bass on a couple of tracks, Allison Robertson (The Donnas) to contribute some guitar……and It would be a glorious, bastardised mash-up of all things punk, metal, garage, funk, and rock.
