I did download it, and am very glad I did. I wont share the cd, because its obvious the label and management dont want it out.

I really like the cd. It is more like the Fog to me then early Dino. More More Lighty then Free So Freey. If Your Living is a Friday or Saturday night album, then Beyond is like a Sunday afternoon album to me.

Hell, I could die tomorrow, and I wanted to hear that album. I’ll buy more then one copy, attend at least 3-4 shows on the next tour, and buy every type of shirt they have in my size. I just bought those ugly ass shoes for some insane amount on EBAY!

I do see where file sharing may hurt a bands cd sales, but I do think it creates more fans of the bands. More fans, means bigger crowds at concerts.

As far as the album covers, Your Living…, Where You Been, and Green Mind are my favorites. I haven’t liked the Without A Sound, Hand It Over, or Free So Free covers at all.

Girl,

My oldest son is a J fan, so I guess he wont be embarassed. My wife on the other hand…..However, she did marry me, and id supportive of my Dino obsession.

Thanks Girl. I know the shoes are ugly, but I really want a pair. I hate to think I’m going to have to pay between $200-$300 on ebay to get an ugly pair of shoes.

I called 14 skate shops that are within 100 mile of my house, and nobody has any of them left!

Another Girl,

Sorry about the big game. Rex had the worst performance I’ve ever seen by a qb. I felt bad for all the Bear players who were playing their hearts out to see Rex hand the game to the Colts. How many snaps did he fumble?

The loss may be tough, but they did have a great season.

Another Girl,

Good Luck!

BetteDavisLies-I teach 4th grade, so I have taught all subjects. I do switch with two other teachers. They teach social studies and science to my class, and I teach math to theirs. 4th grade is a great age. They are mature enough to blow their own nose, tie their own shows, and understand jokes, but they still love school.

Do you teach at college? What subject do you teach? How long have you been teaching?

Takecare,
Tom

Annastefka,

Thanks for the advice. I know I’m lucky. I love our kids more then anything in the world, but they are a lot of work. Our relationship is kind of funny. We both work (teachers), but she is the one that goes outside and mows the lawn, while I watch the kids. My neighbors must think I beat her, because she does all the work in the yard, and I sit inside. She likes to be outside working, and I love playing with the kids.

I do know that its me that is always wrong. Even when I’m right, I’m wrong. It’s easier that way. No point in arguing. I learned fairly early in our relationship that I’m the one thats always wrong! My wife is the best though. She encouraged me to fly or drive down to Florida to see the Tampa show. I didnt leave her and the kids with the baby being so young, but the fact that she is so understanding and thoughtful…..I know how lucky I am.

Long winded … you should meet my wife! Dont feel like you talk too much. I appreciate the advice. I think the best thing about Freakscene is how nice everyone is.

Thank you,
Tom

Tonas,

I agree. As tough as marraige and kids can be. I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. It’s funny. I thought I knew what love was, then I had kids. I’d love to have three kids, just like you. My oldest boy will be 3 at the end of April, and our little one is about a month old. Now if we can just have that little girl!

Take care,
Tom

Annastefka ,

Marraige can be tough. I know my wife loves me tons, but it seems like she doesnt like me at all if that makes any sense!

I think people have a tendency to take each other for granted.

As far as a lack of nice guys, I think the women have done a great job screwing that up! It sucks being a nice guy, only to see the women fall for the bad boys, then have their hearts broken, only to come running to the nice guy!

[tom]

I’m a 4th grade teacher, which probably seems shocking considering I usually have 5 spelling errors in every post!

I’m also a father of two boys (one will be 3 in April, the other was born December 22).

[tom]

Annastefka,

You love Dinosaur jr, and actually consider your husbands wants. He’s a very lucky man.

Tonas,

I thought the tonue in cheek/swinger bit crossed the lines of good taste. Just joking. How are the shoes? Are they comfy?

[tom]

The Pogues documentary is great! It was in indemand for my cable about a year and a half ago, and I watched it all the time.

Are the Pogues doing a big US tour, or is it a NY, Chicago, LA deal?

[tom]

Good luck with the Superbowl Another Girl.

Maybe the Cowboys can steal Lovie or Ron Rivera as a coach after you guys win!

[tom]

Thats right Tonas, you’ve got that Swingers Club!

I think my wife would gladly send me off to get action elsewhere too.

[tom]

Happy screwing? You sure your married Tonas?
